The cause of her misfortune

Rhea blankly stared. For humans immortality was something they would give everything to have. It comes with powers that would never tire. Possess the gift of eternal breath. To defy time's grasp, to conquer death itself.

Draven continued, "Centuries ago, Alina fell in love with a mortal. They were madly in love with each other, but their love couldn't last forever as he was a mere human with no magic to keep him young forever. Time became their eternal foe. He grew older with each passing year, while she remained young, until his bones couldn't hold on again, he died. Alina couldn't accept his death to the point she used a spell to trap his soul, and looked for countless ways to bring him back to life."

Rhea just quietly listened to his story, she even squatted before Draven, who had also sat on a tree root.
