Bloodlines and Legends

Lumi had practiced a certain type of martial art that wiped her memories and made her into the person that Ki met along with Rayleigh.

There may have been some improvements to Lumi over the years but there was no past memories that had returned to her during that time.

According to the research on the technique, there were no memories that would return once they were removed and the past users did not ever retrieve what had been lost.

Her past experiences, her past relationships and even her bloodline ties had been forgotten by her.

Any records that may have existed about her past were lost during the fall of the Divine Ice Sect.

She did possess a highly valued bloodline and characteristics of the Northern Lands but she did not know where it came from.

She could have come from a normal family, a fallen noble family or from one of the bigger families.

She was not aware of her families past, their connections or even their enemies.

Lumi could have been an orphan that was picked up by the Divine Ice Sect or she could have been a child brought back from a recent task or war.

There could be many reasons why she ended up in the Divine Ice Sect and what her origins could be.

Deep within her, it was like she lost something important and there was no way to find out what was so important.

Even if there was some curiosity that she had towards her origins or past, Lumi had not been able to find out those things.

If there was anyone that knew more about her past then she could possibly search for those answers in the Northern Lands.

It just depended on how much others would know about her or possible connections to her past and if they were willing to share that information with her.

If they had information then they held power over her and it would be disadvantageous if they had bad intentions towards her.

That information could easily be used to provoke or manipulate her so it could prove to be a fatal weakness to her.

That information may not have existed in the first place and may have been made up to manipulate her.

Being a blank slate and completely pure of mind was beneficial for her martial arts to make greater leaps forward but it left vulnerabilities in its place.

It was one of the main reasons why Ki let Lumi experience many different types of situations for herself and to meet all kinds of people so that she could handle any future problems.

Her mood and appearance did not change as it remained calm and tranquil, she answered the large man using as few words as she could.

There was no weakness shown and she stated her words coldly like she was calmly stating a cold hard fact as none of her own feelings were shown.

Even if there was a slight emotional fluctuation within her when she said it, there was nothing shown on the outside appearance.

The large man saw that there was no big opening for him to pry for further information on Lumi's background so he asked. "What is it that you do in the Bombyx family?"

Lumi answered with a lack of emotion in her voice. "Music and Sword."

The large man seemed to show interest in her. "You know your way around a sword? Did you know that there are some legends that say there is a female hero among our more famous ancestors. She had some similarities to you. How are your sword skills? Perhaps you might have the same talent that she had."

There were many tales that were passed on through songs or other forms of passing on history but there were very few among them that were about a woman that was a famous warrior or heroic figure.

She just so happened to be a popular symbol for young women to take up the sword but not everyone had the same luck to be able to recreate the legend.

There were some talents that appeared but not everyone had the right background or experiences to allow such an outcome again.

There were many among them that would not be able to wield a sword even if they had that talent and if they did try to do so, they would be met with further resistance from their family or those around them.

Even if they had everything they needed, they may not have been able to live long enough or were a part of the right time that would allow them to create a legend that was comparable to the legend.

Even if they made those great achievements, they would just be compared with the original and would not be able to live up to how the legend had evolved over the long years since it began.

There was a very strongly believed truth within those legends was that the ancestors of Lumi's bloodline possessed excellent talent in ice arts and the sword.

Lumi spoke emotionlessly. "Un. Never heard of her but I am quite familiar with the sword."

The large man grinned. "Hahaha I would like to see you show off your skills in the future."

Lumi nodded in response then the large man had turned to Ki. "It seems that you got yourself a good companion."

Ki politely nodded and replied. "She is a girl of few words and can be a little cold at times but she is someone that I treasure greatly. My family always values talents and she is one of them that are very important to me."
