Draeck (d-ray-k) are some of the most notorious otherworldly beings that prey upon the Iqena. They have destroyed millions of the individuals over the past millennia and have successfully diminished the angelic cervidae numbers to nearly 10% of their original population. This October, another attack has been witnessed by innocent iqena. A handful of specimen have been captured and taken as a 'hostage'. The Draeck demand payment for these stolen iqena. But not of physical value.
What they want is knowledge.
Although the Draeck are far more powerful than the Iqena it is a compensation for the small cranial capacity they are capable of handling. Education is not something that is common within the numbers of these high tier predators unlike the Iqena. They do not speak any common tongue if any language at all. All they can supply are crude images of what they want to know more of. You're lucky they're being so generous to spare these precious lives for simple information...

You wander inside the seemingly empty living space of the Draecks.
Nothing seems to live here at all.... Before you could form
another thought, a large winged beast lands before you.
Their large wings sending a gush of air into your face,
landing you speechless for brief moments. This was it...
A loud gurgling mess of noises erupts from the beast.̪̗̰̞̳̗̫̦͉̪̗̰̞̳̗̫̦͉ ̗̪͝˙̷͕̬͎͘ͅu͍̼ǝ̵̵̮͖̰̝ ̯͈͙̩̫͘n̺͇͔̝̠̺̫̥̦͏̨b̶͈̼̝́ ̹͎̀ǝ̝̜͎̥̳͖̳̹͉͜ظ̸̨̺̤͈͚͢ ͇̼҉͝ʇ̨͈ǝ̷̰̼͓ ̧̼͔̺̣s̲̩͖͓̞͚̤ǝ̙̙͔̻͖͙͍̬͜͜͝n͍̗̹͙̯̭͟͞b̛͙͍͖͍͝ı̗̜̤͏̶̧p͈͢ ͓̩̘̫͈̖͔̳́s̨̖̺̮̼̳̦̲͡͝ı̧͔̦̼̬̖̖͜ן͍̭͍́͝d̫̪̘̺̲҉͘ǝ͙͈͟ɹ̱̥͙̣̩͏̛ ͓̰s̷̢̺͇̦ǝ̳̙̳̹̲̼ɥ̸̵̮̣̟͓ɔ͔̦͍̳͉͚̰̀͜ɹ̴̝̜̤ɐ̸̖̪̺͖̪͎͔̟̯ ̵̺͕ǝ̴̯͚̝̱͕̙̺͓̻͡ן͓̻͓̝̫̤̭͘d̸̲̮͈̞̰̥́͝ɯ̸̼͔̹̱͚̞̠̕ͅı̵̴͔̯͓s̸̛͎̰͙͝ ̬̰̥̣͉͞˙̹͔͖͖̙̲̱҉̀͘ʇ̸̛̘͙͉͚̻̮̬̲u̮̲̝̭͇̳ͅɐ̢͚ͅp̪̯̮̞̰ú̷̹͓ɐ̫̥͖̣̱̩͠ɯ̶̩̞̖̞

You hurridly reach for the notes of 'translation' that the
Mystics gave to you. You can make out a few words
clearly to form a sentence. "What.. First Born..."
First born? Could it mean First Generation?
Is it asking what First Generation Iqena are?

Answer: A first-gen Iqena is one who is/was a being that has just died a mortal death, rather than an Iqena made by two grown Iqena and a Mystic ('bred')?
i have no self control ;n;
With what appears to be a squinting glare, the draeck backs away. It seemed the information you told satisfied it's crave for knowledge. In a blur of noise and motion it flaps both large wings, sending the beast into the sky. It seems it has left behind an iqena. And surprisingly enough, it was alive!
Congrats on answering the draeck correctly!
You got away with your life and the iqena's life luckily.
Better not risk your life again for another iqena....
