Virlomi sighed, and sat down, gesturing for her children to do so, as well. When they were both in front of her, she began... "As you may know, I was born... in Akavir. As a child, I was... special. Of course, in Akavir, many children are, due to the rivers.... If you're placed in the river, you're reborn as one of the 'Akaviri Blooded.' They're like Steelfangs... Wise, Powerful, Dangerous.... But it affects nearly all of the humans left in the Land. I wasn't.... placed in the rivers, but I wanted to find out.... If I was Akaviri-Blooded. And, it seems, I'm part of the only bloodline that has it all..."

She paused, to look down. "That of Shen, the devourer. Thousands of years ago, when the rivers of blood had just been sprung out of the mountain, Shen, a simple farmer, had noticed what happened when a man or woman touched the rivers. He began to experiment, and... Gained all four. He went on a rampage. Killing the Tang Mo, the Kamal, and many other races of Akavir. The Kamal only come out when he's sleeping, in fact. Anyways, though, Shen is a destructive monster. He's a god.... And such a powerful one..."

Virlomi sighed. "I didn't want to tell you, in case..." She glanced at her sons. "Either of you tried to do the same. The only other one who knows is Isis, and you can't tell any of your other siblings, especially Lucifer and Uriel."
