Future "Pappy" of Leonardo and Leah in E1, having taken on the Ostrica tribe's mantle of leadership after Pingala's passing. He begins having unsettling dreams that he believes may be linked to a past life, and some unresolved issue, so sets out for the "Dream Shrine" in Alchera to consult with the Swami there. Luminaya's past life in antiquity is then revealed, in which he and Cugei were brothers living happily with their parents, Abi and Lynn, in the village of Iskar, at the base of the Mountains of Moor. But one day, their village was raided, and their father killed. The boys and their mother were separated and subsequently sold into slavery.
Luminias and Keiju (as they were called in their previous lives) were adopted by a priest of Talmut and served as his acolytes. The scholarly Luminias served faithfully, but Keiju could not forget their mother. He ran away to search for her, and was distraught to find that she became a concubine of the Sultan of Korna. Keiju assaulted the sultan as Lynn sat at his feet, serving him. He was thrown into the dungeon and scheduled to be executed, but Lynn pleaded with her master to spare his life, and he granted her request because he loved her. Lynn asked to speak with Keiju one last time, and visited him in the dungeon. After an emotional farewell, Keiju returned to Talmut and began searching the mystical texts for a means to gain power and save his mother.
Luminias aided him in spite of the priests' warnings that Keiju was too negative to harness the cosmic energies, that they would consume and destroy him. Unfortunately, this turned out to be true. In the astral plane, Keiju encountered Eva, the Goddess of Destruction, and became infected with her cancerous energy. From then until his death, Keiju remained in a tormented delirium, and his frightful hallucinations were chronicled by Luminias. Following Keiju's death, Luminias sealed his writings within the Cave of Destiny, to be discovered by Luminaya in his current life. They revealed the location of the Trumpet of the Bear, symbolizing eternal slumber. But in order to obtain the trumpet, Luminaya first needed the Seal of the Eagle, representing the freedom of the soul in the place beyond dreams.
Mila
Luminaya's Beloved. As an adult, she resembles her mother, Reina. Mila is musical, and a teacher as well. She plays the keyboard, and her talent is cruelly suppressed by the Nightmare King, Marchosias, who seals her Vishuddha chakra, rendering her deaf and mute. With encouragement from Luminaya, Mila is able to play her keyboard even so, and dispel Marchosias' curse.
Rita
Mila's younger sister. As Mila takes after their mother, Rita assumes their father William's flamboyant style of dress. She wields the ancestral sword that was displayed in their old mansion in Leena, unaware that it's actually Excalibur. She begins having dreams about a woman and her companion seeking the sword, feeling a strong connection to them, and so departs with Luminaya and Mila to seek out the Dream Swami.
Shelly
Kai's little sister in E4, now a teenager. The sole survivor of her family, she was deeply traumatized by Asur's total devastation of Mesomia, and deliberately avoids forming attachments with others for fear of losing them. Though her old friends still care deeply for her, Shelly bonds only with Vulcan, the orphaned dragon pup from Mt. Dragonia in E3 and future Sky Behemoth.
Shelly can see auras, which grants her spectacular judgment of character, though others only see her as judgmental. This also allows her to detect the presence of demons, an inconvenient skill that the Nightmare King, Aamon, targets her for, rendering her blind for a time. She is still able to see auras, however, and guides the others through Aamon's illusions to regain her sight.
Drake
Kai's old friend from Leena, and one of only four survivors of the catastrophe there, including Rita, Mila, and Shelly. Though he's matured a bit, he's still crass and doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. Drake has taken it upon himself to protect Shelly, feeling an obligation to Kai... but deep down, he really likes her, although he might be embarrassed to admit it. Drake takes great pleasure in tracking down and slaughtering the Nightmare Kings, or "the whole pantheon of Hell" as he likes to think of it.
