While he when to the Dark Area a couple times now, it was strange to hear about the inhabitants being so calm. Especially to a Holy Digimon. He heard stories about them normally looking to cleanse the area of any Virus types and they just seemed incompatible overall. Seemed like Yoshihiro mainly had good memories about the place.
Home. It was his home, not a place. Just like his village.
“I wouldn’t mind sailing the Blood Sea myself.” Lucky said after the comment about the ships. A part of him felt like he was lying. It seems more accurate to add ‘probably’. Could he even work up the courage? Did those Digimon on those ships ever hear the rumors about the place? Maybe they have to warn every new sailor that if they fall in there’ll never be able to get out. “I never thought any Digimon would risk sailing there.”
”You aren’t curious about how you got there at all? Never at least tried to find out? You seemed to mention it as a mostly one-off thing.” Lucky asked when they were finished.

"Despite the dangers of sailing the Blood Sea I've heard there are those who take the risk to sail it. Most likely most of them are merchants or those who are hired to fight digimon out their that are being especially problematic. I don't know much though given that I never sailed the Blood Sea before I met Ryuji given I was obviously far too young and couldn't even reach rookie yet." Yoshihiro replied in response to Lucky's questions. Ryuji had to admit he was wondering how Yoshihiro would answer and smiled knowing that the little Calumon wasn't known to be the reckless type even before they met. Sure the tamer and digimon pair basically treated one another as brothers they had become so close.
When Lucky asked Yoshihiro if he was curious where he came from or if he tried to find out, Yoshihiro's face took on a thoughtful look before he answered "At some level I am curious how a holy digimon like myself wound up in the dark area but I don't know how to go about finding out. Not even my adoptive father can explain why I was in the Dark Area with what eventually became Ryuji's digivice no less."
"Sounds like you are more curious about your origins now, Yoshihiro." Ryuji stated.
"I guess I am but where would be the best place to start looking is the question as I could of originated from anywhere in the Digital World. Basically this is a needle in a haystack." Yoshihiro said with a sigh.

“More help you could make it easier.” he said. Yoshihiro was not the only one with questions about their life. Unfortunately venturing didn’t reveal anything about his past life. He still has the same fuzzy memories he had since he been born. He shouldn’t be worrying about his problems in the moment.
“Seems like whatever happened, you were destined for Ryuji,” he said flatly. An unfortunate fate truthfully. Then he was ambushed by guilt. Ryuji was at least fun to be able and he doubt Yoshihiro truly really cared: it didn’t really matter if the guy couldn’t fight. “I say that’s pretty lucky.” he said, restoring his cheerful tone, “Maybe one day I will find something that’ll can kickstart the search. Luminas could be a good place to start. A lot of Holy Digimon are found there. Your egg may have fell and ended up into the Dark Area.” Hopefully they didn’t notice his slight disapproval. He stuck his muzzle in the remaining popcorn and started eating. Eating could fuel some more ideas.

"Maybe. After all there are likely those far older and wiser than myself." Yoshihiro said as he shoveled popcorn into his mouth munching on it while looking in deep thought. The trick was where to go first for potential information was the question.
Then when Lucky mentioned Yoshihiro being destined for Ryuji said tamer piped up "I remember Yoshihiro saying something about being born knowing my name and that the D3 I now carry was meant for me. Perhaps wherever he did originally come from programmed the knowledge into him before he was born."
"Now that makes me feel like I'm a computer." Yoshihiro said snorting with amusement before he began giggling.
Then when Lucky mentioned Luminas being a good place to start which made sense due to all the holy digimon that lived there. Then when Lucky mentioned Yoshihiro's egg may have fell and ended up in the Dark Area. A confused look appeared on Ryuji's face before the young adult human asked "Wait isn't Luminas high up in the sky? If so then if an egg fell from that far up wouldn't it break? I mean I know digieggs are tougher than chicken eggs but don't even digieggs have a limit?"
"Yes Luminas is high in the sky and even I don't know if an egg could survive such a fall if that is what happened to me." Yoshihiro said as he began tapping his chin in thought. More mysteries regarding his origins were surfacing the more he thought about it not less.

Lucky moved his buttery face out of the large bucket to look at the two. "I wonder who could help us?" Lucky asked. Before licking his sticky muzzle absentmindedly. The question was mainly directed at himself rather than everyone else. He was originally referring to himself with the comment, but more people could make the whole search much easier. Rai was the wisest Digimon Lucky knew. When he was younger, he thought the old Gaurumon knew everything. Again, Lucky realized they weren’t the wisest Digimon in the world very quickly after going outside the village. Any other place besides the village was a distant memory for them. So they wouldn’t be that helpful. He didn’t know anyone else he would consider wise, but he would still be happy to ask for their help.
As for Yoshihiro’s predestined knowledge, he didn’t really know what it meant he it was definitely a clue. It sounded like evidence of reincarnation. The two could have been partners in their past lives. Humans definitely know about the subject of reincarnation; so they must experienced it too. It would explain why Yoshihiro had Ryuji’s eventual Digivice and already knew his name. "So, knowing his name, was that like a faint memory, as if it were a past life, or did you just know suddenly the second you saw him?"
In response to the mention of his Luminas theory, he said, "True. The fallen angel comparison still stands, considering somehow a holy Digimon needed to be in a place like that. The next best locations are towns close to the Dark Area. It makes more sense why your digger could accidentally reach or be brought to the dark area if it was nearby."

At Lucky's question, which seemed mostly directed towards himself than anyone else, both Ryuji and Yoshihiro looked as if they had entered deep thought as well. The wisest digimon Yoshihiro personally knew was his adoptive father, Devimon. However he knew there were other digimon far older and wiser than even several digimon Devimon's age seeing as the demon digimon was still a fairly young adult digimon and with the long lifespan digimon had wouldn't be considered old for ages yet.
Then when Lucky asked about whether his predestined knowledge was a faint memory as if possibly from a past life or if he just knew suddenly when he saw Ryuji, Yoshihiro looked thoughtful before he said "It sure didn't feel like a faint memory so I don't know if I even had a past life. All I know is when I was born Ryuji's digivice seemed to also be existing with me. I also seemed to know everything about him which does seem crazy doesn't it?"
"Maybe we can go and visit Luminas, Yoshihiro. Even if there is no immediate answer to this mystery maybe the locals can possibly point us in the right direction." Ryuji suggested which made Yoshihiro smile.

“And I’ll send you any evidence that could help,” said Lucky. He punctuated his statement with a quick sap of his tail, with his bright eyes once again distant in thought.
If I can find it.
What counted as clues was was the first thing he needed to crack. It was difficult to know when anything could be connected to Yoshihiro’s mysterious origins. They didn’t really know where to start in terms of useful evidence and as Ryuji said, the Digimon World was a big place and there was always the possibility that Luminas was a dead end. It could become even worse if Calumon was a reincarnation. The concept of a Digimon completely forgetting forgetting about past life seemed possible to him, he doesn’t have much memory of them himself. The possibilities were about as vast as the Red Sea itself. Maybe that was why Yoshihiro never had the idea to look itself his strange origins himself before it was suggested.
Even if Yoshihiro was nervous, Lucky had to keep pushing him. Surely Yoshihiro, at least once, had a moment of wonder about it. Lucky knew firsthand about questioning his origins. He been cycling through the few memories he had since he been born: a blur that was likely a Digimon, a burst of light, and a burning town. Even if he couldn’t decipher his mysteries, he could certain help a friend decipher theirs.
“I’m happy to do anything I can do to help,” he added.

"I know Gaomon are effective at tracking scents as almost any canine digimon is but how are you at investigating tricky mysteries such as my possible origin? If this is one of your talents Lucky then I definitely wouldn't mind the extra help you could offer." Yoshihiro said as he shoveled some food in his mouth. As he chewed the popcorn he kept thinking about the possibility that his origin might be more complicated than he originally thought.
"At least you also have me to help you out, Yoshihiro." Ryuji said with a smile as the older teens words made Yoshihiro smile in turn.
Then Yoshihiro said "It feels good that I have you for a little brother, Ryuji, even though there are digimon who think it is odd I would think of a human as my brother. Heck humans might think it is odd that you think of a digimon as a brother."
"Ah what do they know anyway seeing as we were strangely very close almost from the start." Ryuji said with an amused tone which caused Yoshihiro to lightly chuckle in turn.

“I’m sure it would be that difficult getting information from other Digimon. Truthfully, I’m no master detective but I wouldn’t stop me,” Lucky said. He held his tail stiffly, with a determined glare. His serious air was slightly diluted by the bucket of popcorn he had his arms wrapped around. “I’ll do whatever I can do to help, I promise.”
The whole topic was invigorating for him, even with how incomprehensible it seemed. There simply had to start to think like an investigator.
“Ryuji’s D3, does anything about it look strange?” he asked, “Maybe we should have a look at at it, seem you mentioned you had it where you were found. Considering how much you knew him, I wouldn’t be surprised if you already knew what a D3 was the second you hatched.” He could still remember how confused he was when he first meet a human, or more saw, considering he was pulled away by Rai before he decided whether to approach them or not. It must be strange already knowing the face of one before even knowing what it is.

"I'm no master detective either and neither is Ryuiji but you are right about it not being so hard to find more information if we go there since there has to be at least one digimon who has information that, whether accurate or otherwise, could lead us in the right direction." Yoshihiro said. Meanwhile Ryuji took in the serious look on Lucky's face which was diminished by him embracing his popcorn bucket. Was definitely a cute sight.
"Does anything about it look strange?" Yoshihiro repeated the question looking as if in deep thought before he glanced at Ryuji and asked "Hey, bro. Can you bring out your D3 so we can show it to Lucky?"
"Sure, Yoshihiro, but why? You look as if a thought has entered your mind." Ryuji asked digging into his pockets pulling out his D3 handing it to Yoshihiro who showed the mostly white digivice to Lucky with red buttons and a red antenna. There were also purple highlights. All in all the D3 had an overall Calumon color scheme to it down to what looked like a Calumon's Crystal Matrix on the purple side parts only confirming the Calumon theme.
"Sure does look unusual doesn't it? I mean how many digivices in general have you seen that look a lot like the tamer's partner color scheme wise?" Yoshihiro asked and then said "Speaking of knowing what a D3 was, yes when I was a hatchling I did know what it was but don't remember why. How odd is that?"

“Ha,” Lucky huffed. When Ryuji took the D3 out, it seemed to have Calumon-based theme. The egg-shaped body was white with purple accents, with a red antennae that stuck out of the side of the digivice like a small, dull horn and buttons that matched. He would think it was custom design added to a normal D3. While Yoshihiro was correct about its weirdness, it was still overshadowed by the fact that he hatched with it, and it was that only enhanced by how much Yoshihiro knew when he was born.
“Somehow I’m both amazed and unsurprised, I guess I was right. It must be a little disorienting begin hatched knowing all this. It’s the first time I met a Digimon with memories of the future.” Lucky said. He paused before he tilted his head inquisitively and pointed at the digivice starting the bucket in his paws to tilt. “That doesn’t do anything special, does it?”

Ryuji and Yoshihiro observed Lucky as the Gaomon looked over Ryuji's D3 taking in the little machine's unusual and unique appearance. Sure despite looking unique Ryuji's D3 seemed to be an ordinary D3 as there seemed to be nothing else unusual about it. Then when Lucky mentioned it being disorienting to begin life knowing all the knowledge that Yoshihiro did. The disguised Calumon merely nodded before he said "It was disorienting at first anyway but somehow I adapted quickly to the knowledge I was born with becoming used to the knowledge after only roughly a week according to what my adopted father told me. He also told me that while many digimon are born with various types of knowledge it is usually the digimon that have been reborn that have knowledge from previous lives."
"Does he know if you were reborn from a previous life, Yoshihiro?" Ryuji asked as Yoshihiro passed his D3 back to him.
Yoshihiro looked in thought as he then said "Hmm. As far as I know my father never mentioned anything about knowing if I was reborn from a previous life. All I know is that he found me with the D3 and I had to only be hours old at most. As for knowledge of previous lives some reborn digimon get I'm sure Lucky is aware that in most cases those digimon only remember tiny fragments of their previous lives not everything. Though digimon can remember entire previous lives such a thing is rare."
Then when Lucky asked about the D3 doing anything special, Ryuji answered "Doesn't do anything special compared to other D3s as far as I know. It seems other than the unusual color theme it is just an ordinary D3 otherwise."

“True, but there’s a difference remembering something from a past life and seeing the future. I don’t think humans live long enough for a Digimon to go through two whole lives. Unless you died pretty early after being born.” Lucky said. He wouldn’t be surprised if some human started acting that were the bigger fish after getting a Digimon and decided to jump into an impossible battle. Even though Ryuji and Yoshihiro were nice, it would be a mistake to assume other humans were the same way.
“At least you aren’t counting reincarnation out. It can do some very strange things. A friend once told about a Digimon that once reincarnated and became stuck in their egg, he even shown it to me. Again, it was indistinguishable from a normal Digiegg, but they’re pretty reliable so I had to believe him…” he continued to rumble, not noticing the other two ignoring him until he heard his name.
Sadly the D3 was only visually distinct, but he was more concerned about the topic of reincarnation. “It always a little depressing when I hear that a Digimon can barely remember their past lives. It must feel like missing a part of yourself,” he said. He was so used lying about it, the “must” came naturally.

"In my case I didn't see the future. It felt more like the information had always been there. It had more of a preprogrammed feel to it. Yeah I know that sounds strange as I am not some kind of computer or robot but with this information it sure feels that way sometimes." Yoshihiro said with a sigh before stuffing more popcorn into his mouth and silently chewing it.
As he swallowed the popcorn Lucky spoke of reincarnation and how it affected a friend of his. After taking in the words Yoshihiro then said "When it comes to us digimon it makes sense for me not to completely rule out reincarnation as it could always be a possibility. As for your friend getting stuck in his egg that sure is strange as I've never seen that happen before."
When Lucky then talked about how he found it depressing when a digimon could barely remember their past lives Yoshihiro nodded in agreement before he then said "I get how you feel there. Then there are those digimon who don't remember their past lives and it is a blessing given those digimon tend to have had a miserable past life so for them to be able to make a fresh start is a positive thing."
"Sounds like digimon reincarnation is a mixed bag then." Ryuji said contributing his thoughts on this subject. Sure he didn't know much but the young adult just wanted to not be left out.

“I guess.” Lucky’s tail slightly twitched. “But that’s in the past. It’s much worse forgetting your memories than remember something that won’t affect you. At least to me.” He looked into the bucket in thought before quickly continuing. It was better not to get worked up about something that is a simple possibility. Besides knowing is better being kept in the dark. “I’m sure you don’t have to worry about anything in your past life if you were reincarnated.” Yoshihiro’s description doesn’t sound like how he felt with his memories.
“It’s weird that some Digimon are lucky keep their memories. Maybe it’s a personality thing, or magic. It can’t be purely up to luck. Now that I think about it, I wonder if Yoshihiro just had all this knowledge conjured up by someone else.” Lucky tossed some popcorn into his mouth. “It may explain the strange feeling.”
