Even thought Venesia and Venexia had been separated by their parents, they still managed to meet once in person, face-to-face, in Berlin, and many other times, partially, a body part at a time, through a jerry-rigged quantum gloryhole. When their mother and father discovered this, they were greatly enraged and then after they calmed down, gravely concerned. They concocted a plan to send Venesia to the Far East. Both parents had been trained in a variety of different martials arts and decided, that Venesia would also benefit from the discipline, physically and mentally and emotionally and spiritually. Venexia was to continue with his studies in physics in Berlin and the informal therapy sessions with his aunt and the formal ones with his therapist outside the home. And so, Venesia was sent away to live and train the Shaolin Monastery, at the foot of the Songshan Mountain, near Denfeng, in China. Before she left, she dyed her hair from Titian red to a chestnut brown. In part as an act of defiance and a reflection of the radical life-change she was undertaking, and in part of a centuries old Chinese superstition, inherited from the Greeks, that redheads were witchcraft-practicing vampires. As Aristotle himself commented: "The reddish are of bad character." Initially, life there was a major adjustment and was hard for her. But in time, she flourished, learning at a prodgigious pace, and becoming one of the most promising students training there. She seduced one of the monks, a Master Han, and began a sexual relationship with him. He gave her lavish gifts, took her on shopping sprees and nights out in Bejing. Eventually their affair was discovered and reported by one of the other students, a boy who had always lusted after Venesia himself. Master Han was expelled from the monastery. Venesia remained a further year at the temple. She never saw or heard from Master Han again.
