I don't know if I would call what they did to him successful. [His voice is soft and low; he did not need to know the Lark to know what losing a man she loves would feel like. To watching him sacrifice himself for the good of all.
Love is truly the worst of weapons.]
They were successful in that he was what they needed. And he did destroy the empire's monster. But he... I'm afraid he turned into one himself quickly after. [The silence after says enough: that he was put down like a monster himself, too.] But it all sounded the same. They even called it the Trial of the Grasses. Made him imbibe a potion that led to the -- well. [He wrings his hands together.] You know.
It was different enough that he was not, apparently, infertile while it took place. He impregnated the Lark. I don't know what Seanchaí was trying to imply, but this child they had, a mixture of monster and elf, led to some sort of... bloodline, a lineage. Something, I believe, that must be important to the elves. I don't know if it is the same one that leads to hen ichaer, but... I don't know. If you don't want to wish more, it's all right. I'd understand.
