Something like that. Nonno....my grandfather, he wanted me to protect myself.
Later, whenever I learned how to use the family swordsmanship in tandem with my arts? He gave me my first sword. He was proud of me.
I remember he said: Cellinia, you are a natural-born combatant, never forget that, my granddaughter.
I didn't know what he meant at the time until later, when I started to notice that I reacted differently in a fight than in general. That I wasn't holding back when someone drew a weapon on me....I wasn't showing them mercy, they wouldn't have shown it to me.
