...illusionists are highly feared creatures by elemen. They are difficult to kill and it only takes one to wipe out a town in a day.

As I've mentioned before, I am different than most illusionists. To the elemen, they see me as... "tamed" in a way. I would never attack an eleman in a way that would permanently harm them, even if they came at me with the intention to kill me.

Which is why they believed it would be far easier to capture me rather than another illusionist. To use as a weapon of war.
