"The Elves aren't allowed to kill because of actual consequences, Rey."
Rey was silent as he listened to Adrien. There were a lot of things he had to say about the matter, but he bottled in his thoughts and kept an open mind—just as he promised Ater.
"No matter how threatening an entity is… they won't kill them. It is forbidden by Nature, and if they break those laws… they become blighted by the very course of Nature." He said, a twisted smile forming on his face.
