The draeck shakes its head, confused by the babble of the beings that came to rescue its prisoner. It stands still for a long moment, its floating neck disks move quickly. After a long moment the draeck flares its wings and takes off, disappearing into the gloom.
It's gone for quite a while, maybe it didn't like any of the answers and won't return the iqena? Or maybe it's asking which response is acceptable? Either way, the draeck is taking a rather long time.
After several charged minutes, the huge beast comes back -and it's carrying something!
It awkwardly lands on one leg and glares at its chosen winner, Sean Erin, before setting down the iqena and flying off again

username;; Sean Erin. Pleased to meet you.
name;; Eponymous. I chose this name as it almost seemed like it meant he had no name at all. The word 'Eponymous' means 'named after something'. As it's not specific what he is named after, it could be that he is named after nothing or everything, leaving him with no name at all.
gender;; Male.
answer;; You glance to the side and then shift your weight onto your other foot. You are not quite sure what to do, but you do know the answer. You might as well show off the knowledge if you know it. "To answer this question fully, it is best to explain the whole process of life and death in the eyes of many Iquena. I say many because not all believe in this 'afterlife'. However, as it is the general belief, I think it is safe to explain it to you. All Iquena are born for the first time. This is the time before they come be reincarnated or otherwise 're'born (more on that later). They all die at some point as well. The most common ways--a 'fair' death, an 'unjust' death, and an 'honorable' death--lead to different states of being. A 'fair' death just leads to a permanent death, with no way of coming back or sticking around. An 'honorable' death leads to the highest privilege of all, becoming a Mystic. An 'unjust' death results in the information you are looking for, a vengeful spirit and/or ghost. This spirit will wander around forever, searching for revenge on whoever or whatever forced them into this 'unjust' death. If they get their revenge, the return to the beginning of the cycle, to birth. However, if they do not gain their revenge they continue to wander, forever a ghost. They remain this way without question."
Congratulations, you successfully rescued an iqena! I wouldn't suggest trying this again though, as you might not be so lucky
