Amus

Amus was both a daughter and a disciple of the progenitor of La Veda fencing. Amus was also the second Zelban. When her father was killed in a cowardly assassination when he and her fellow students were challenged by a rival sect of martial artists, Amus broke a taboo in order to avenge him, and entered into a tournament. There, her fencing would earn praise as superior to her own father's, and awaken memories of past defeats in her father's rival. The night before the final match of the tournament, Amus was slain by an assassin sent by her father's rival, just as he was before her. Although she was assassinated the night before a final tournament battle, Amus did hold suspicions of her opponent's sinister tricks prior to that night. She had based her suspicions on the injuries her father sustained when he was slain alongside her fellow student. However, her oversight and misfortune lay in the logical assumption that her foe would not use such cowardly tactics the night before the final bout of a tournament. Had she only survived to win the tournament, she certainly would have carried on in her father's footsteps. She might have passed on a more mature La Veda fencing to the world, with an emphasis on spiritual focus.
