"...the first generation of her children must have human blood," Orion said.
Aurora and Reena were stunned, their expressions shifting into disbelief.
Ilse's expression darkened, and a deep frown formed on her face. She couldn't help but feel a surge of pity for Aerialia brewing in her heart, especially when Aerialia would awaken and realize this was the condition.
To have her children brought back into the universe through the blood of the race that had killed her and driven her children into extinction was a terrible and humiliating punishment. Even if they could purify the one-winged race's bloodline over time, it was still a shame that could never be erased entirely.
However, the only silver lining to this shame was that humans were the direct descendants of the Omnithralians. Having a race with their bloodline might empower them beyond their expected potential, possibly leading to the creation of a new, powerful race.
