Elihu nods in understanding at his explanation of Kreyu's response being the issue.
He hums thoughtfully. "There are tribes of Winged Folk on this side of the sea. They look like humans with large feathered wings." Could Skellig be somehow related to them?
Elihu's expression is solemn when Skellig finishes his explanation. "There are echoes in your recounting that are familiar to me. Some dragons find themselves drawn to each other again and again, life and after life. Over time, their souls become entangled. The feelings you describe of not being lost, of things being clearer, they were far slower, more subtle, a process of centuries, but I felt them all the same when I was becoming broodbrother to Kreyu."
Elihu sighs. "And that makes me fear for both of you, for such a bond will draw you together whether either of you would have it so or not." He takes a drink. "I have seen sweet love turn to the bitterest of poisons, seen it curdle into hatred. I do not even know if a soul such as yours was ever meant to bear such a thing."
"Revenin and I HATED each other at first, killed each other repeatedly, and it changed nothing."
