Bk 2: Chapter two (15)

Helen sat in a make shift bed their host had kindly given them, her feet hurting from walking. She wanted to curse at Lady Wickshire, but immediately realised how weak she had become. She was a descendant of the Ligrel clan. From birth, she had been grilled by strong masters as the only daughter of Blood King Jin Ke. Before her father died, she was trained to improve her physical constitution and after he died, she was returned to the clan to be raised as his heir and instilled with their clan’s martial arts. If she had not left the clan, her martial art would have been one of the strongest in her clan. But years had passed since she turned her back on the arts and never looked back. Now she could not even wall a mile without worrying for her feet.
