The groceries they bought are for tonight's dinner. While the mother and daughter are cooking together......

The young girl whose name is Nilou, asked her mother.

Nilou: Mom, you once mentioned before the besides from the Aranaras, the former Dendro Archon, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata had another servant, right?

Nilou's Mother: Yes. But the thing is, they say it is only just a mere fairy tale. Not even the scholars of the Akademiya mentioned him.

Nilou: What was his name again? Is it En......

Nilou's Mother: The Guardian of the Forest and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's closest friend, Enkidu.

Nilou's Mother: As far as his origins was concerned, they say that he was created from the mud by Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and granted him life by the power of Dendro.

Nilou's Mother: Some say that Enkidu was once a monster who wandered the forest with fiery rage.

Nilou's Mother: So, the God of Wisdom decided to approach the monster, and shared seven nights and slept on the same bed.

Nilou's Mother: In respect to Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, the monster took the form of a beautiful woman which is similar to the God of Wisdom's beauty.

Nilou: But I thought Enkidu is a boy?

Nilou's Mother: Most of them say that Enkidu is a boy. It's just like Morax, the Geo Archon, he can also took many forms.

Nilou's Mother: Some say he even took a form of an elderly woman once. But in every form he takes, all of them will have the same amber eyes.

Nilou's Mother: And just like Morax, Enkidu can be indentified with someone with green emerald eyes.

Nilou's Mother: Again, these are just some of the stories about him.

Nilou's Mother: But I think this story is my most favorite and the most touching one.

Nilou's Mother: That story said that Enkidu was born as a human. He was born in the border of the desert and the rainforest.

Nilou's Mother: But during his birth, Enkidu's parents are being chased by the followers of the Scarlet King, because Enkidu's father was branded as a traitor amongst their tribe.

Nilou's Mother: And they put the blame on Enkidu's mother for bewitching of their kin.

Nilou's Mother: So, the couple ran away towards the rainforest. They hid in the desert while Enkidu was born.

Nilou's Mother: Enkidu's mother had the Eleazar and she died in the process when giving childbirth to Enkidu.

Nilou's Mother: The father buried his wife, took his son, and went proceeded to escape the desert.
