Back in the times before the times people really enjoy talking about there was a romance. It was nothing special, nothing forbidden, nothing particularly interesting about them or their story but the thing that sparked the interest of their town was the unconditional loves that Tyrael had for Ruby. There was love throughout the town, as with any town, but his love for his one and only trumped all others. But there were rumors, whispers, that as much as Tyrael loved Ruby, Ruby did not feel the same. Tyrael was convinced they were wrong and to prove himself he decided to propose and when she said yes they would all know it was true. But he was not one to get down on one knee and simply ask. It had to be bigger. So Tyrael took a trip to an unknown island and returned with two horses. He named them Venus and Mars and although many asked him he never did reveal where he got them. But it was that fateful day, the day of the proposal. Tyrael confessed every inch of his love, spilled out his heart and ask for her hand. He did it on horse back, a beautiful scene. With Ruby on Mars and himself of Venus. But things did not go as planned, Ruby said no. It was never clear to him or the others why exactly but with the simple response she ran, or rather galloped, away never to be seen again. It is said that those who are foals of Venus carry the soul of the pure with an unrequited love. This lineage is sweet and will love unconditionally weather the love is returned to them or not. Mars however bares the soul of love never said. According to myth Ruby loved him desperately but would not let herself for some unknown reason. Thus the line of Mars tends to be more protective rather then loving and they tend to be slower to trust.
