TWO VESSELS, BORN AS BROTHERS AND NOT CAST INTO THE ABYSS, (BECAUSE THE PALE KING FORGOT) THEY ESCAPED HALLOWNEST TOGETHER, BUT THE KINGDOM'S CORPSE LEFT A MARK. AERUS WAS BORN WITHOUT LEGS, WHICH MEANT HE COULDN'T MOVE DURING COMBAT, LEAVING HIM SCARRED IMMENSELY. AELITINUS WAS BORN WITHOUT ARMS, BUT MASSIVE LEGS, ALLOWING HIM TO MOVE QUICKLY ON FOOT, BUT UNABLE TO SWIM VERY QUICKLY. WHILE THE PAIR WAS GETTING THROUGH DEEPNEST, THEY WERE ATTACKED IN THE DARK, LEAVING THEM IN GRAVE DANGER. THE BROKEN MARKS ON THEIR SHELLS HAD A PURPOSE, HOWEVER, AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE PURPOSE WAS FOR THE BROKEN MARKS TO COMBINE WHENEVER THE PAIR WAS TOGETHER AND THEY WERE GETTING ATTACKED BY STRONG FOES. AT THAT MOMENT, THE TWO BROTHERS COMBINED INTO ONE, GAINING THE ABILITIES OF BOTH, ALONG WITH HAVING A FULL BODY. THEY MANAGED TO DEFEAT THE THREAT, AND RETURNED TO NORMAL, THOUGH CONFUSED BY WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED TO THEM. THEY LEFT HALLOWNEST, AND THEY NOW LIVE TOGETHER IN DIRTMOUTH, READY FOR MORE.
