"Luca Blight... Had been next in line to the throne, before he murdered his father and took possession of the throne himself." Elza said as if she had been talking about the weather in return. "His strength was only rivaled by his bloodlust and cruelty."

"I heard the stories that it took an army of men to weaken him for the rune bearer to finish the mad King," She added... Although the whispers she heard also involved that other kid... Jowy... Betraying Luca to do it.

Shaking her head lightly, Elza pulled her mind away from those memories. "The runes can give you incredible power and there are whispers of immortality given to those who possess them."
