... Though magic in the sense that people seem to know it best in this place doesn't exist in my homeland, the people of Heavenly Tribes supposedly partake in some sort of mystic art involving parts of the human body. I don't know much about it, or how much of it is truth.
[ at least in great liang, anyway. that's just a rumor, the kind of story people tell their children at night, but... gu yun has seen some of the things the barbarian tribes have done. he's heard whispers of a sickness, a curse, caused by similar means. ]
I wonder if setting the stage for this to happen - for either her, or her memories to have been manipulated in that way - occurred because of an outside force, beyond the people here who have been limited. After all, this place itself has some sort of 'magic' in its own right - it is impossible in my realm to simply summon items out of thin air, even if those things aren't what you asked for.
