History
Six years before the start of the series, Rey's parents had died from an epidemic. He and his sister, Mey, drifted around and eventually came to the capital city. Rey and his sister were brought along with thousands of other orphans under false pretense of care and shelter. There at the "Gigantic Pagoda" in which the Prime Minister resides, all the orphans were locked under a dark room and each were given a sword. Being told that if they wanted to get out, they would have to fight. For months they fought and the children became relentless, greedy, and violent, driven by the scarcity of food provided for them. Survivors were eventually swallowed up by a dark entity and were lost into the darkness. Mey was eventually swallowed up and Rey soon followed. After the ordeal, he awoke with a demon stone embedded into his forehead.
After sometime, Master Loruan and his disciple, Shyao, found Rey, who was holding the Pasa sword. They witnessed Rey among hordes of slain demons across the field. Loruan saved him from insanity and raised Rey as one of his own disciples. Loruan was eventually killed by White Tiger, who sought the Pasa sword. Loruan sacrificed himself using a forbidden spell in order for Rey and Shyao to escape with the Pasa sword.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history becomes subjective; in other words there is properly no history, only biography.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
