"Who taught you how to write?", I asked Zeiroi.

"Grandpa Inril", Zeiroi responded.

"Is he the fae you lived with?"

Zeiroi confirmed. "Grandpa Inril found me when I was a baby, and he took me in. He treated me well."

Ah, that explains the glyphs. I can imagine that faes are using them. Faes are ancient creatures and live in isolation.

Faes have powerful magic, however, they are pacifists in nature, so humans and other creatures hunted them for their beautiful appearances that come with dazzling wings and also for magic. I remember reading a book that said how even when captive, faes wouldn't use their magic against their captors. Unable to go against their essence, in order to preserve their kind, faes decided to isolate themselves and no one knows if they created another realm, or just used their magic to conceal their whereabouts.
