"Yes. Many, MANY years ago. Before you or I drew breath. These figures, the ones with powers like yours, could only be conjured by those with nightingale blood. Now, nightingale blood is not actually literal. It is simply stating that someone has passed the trials needed to be a nightingale. Once one person has passed the trials of becoming a nightingale, upon surviving till their eighteenth birthday, they are blessed with the Bond of Night." The man explained. It seemed that Zane was not stopping him. "See, the Bond of night grants a nightingale abilities other men and women would not be able to handle. They are rather minor things, like an increase to endurance and speed for example. However as soon as one is carrying the bond of night, Fate does not favour them. Do you know what fate is, Zane?"
