"Mm." He responded as she she repeated all the races of elves that came from the Five. "Well, Solaralai is, or was, ruthless. She killed everything, and only the hardiest could survive under her attentions. Its why Akay came, to balance her out and make things easier. While she believed he was made for her, he did not. He believed they were separate entities, just coexisting to aid one another. To him, he had done no wrong, though Solaralai obviously saw things different." he tilted his head back. "Its why the face on the moon is so mournful. The loss of his beloved because of a misunderstanding." Her name had been lost to the ages, torn from the pages of history by Solaralai and Jyavi. He had always wondered who she wasm that captured the heart of a God and threw aside her life for her children. "He's a very rare abomination. His words." Ruli agreed. "He was born a twin, which, for elves, is significant. His sister took his existence in [i]her[/i] space in their mother's womb as a challenge, and made it her goal to end him. She cut off his ear when they were in their adolescence. Gave him a good few other scars, too. But, he never challenged her back. He had no desire to try to blend in with the rest, no taste for blood. Which marked him as weak. So he left. The Kartaian's den is close to Ziad. In the mountains on the opposite side of the desert. So Envy knew where it was. They make raids often to steal people for slaves or playthings. Their history is entertwined. Its another of the reasons they're so unwelcoming toward Envy. The refugees, I mean." He pointedly ignored the question about Aera. To her assumption that Envy was immortal, he shrugged. "Yes, and no. The Five were immortal. But over time, bloodlines became less pure. How often they mingled with mortals dwindled their immortality. Kartaians and Raielwens live a very long time, but still age and die."
