Eli n'a jamais vraiment ressenti le mal du pays quand il avait commencé son voyage. En fait, il était assez excité et même ravi par l'idée d'une aventure. Enfin, il pouvait vraiment mettre ses compétences à l'épreuve ; Anima, une magie ancienne et puissante. De ce qu'il avait appris à l'époque dans la bibliothèque, sa famille était descendue de nombreux puissants utilisateurs d'Anima. Le plus fort, ou plutôt, il avait lu dans ses séances d'étude, étant son propre père. La pensée de cela était presque drôle, compte tenu de l'état dans lequel son père était dans ; un quasi-gripple et des capacités magiques rabougries. Même ainsi, il y avait toujours un sentiment étrange qu'Eli avait autour de son père, comme si son expérience avec le monde était ailleurs dans le monde. En regardant devant Maïs à travers le tissu ouvert, qui conduisait le wagon, Eli a parlé. "J'en ai assez de tout ça. Sortons et marchons déjà." Avant qu'une plainte ne puisse être soulevée devant le garçon, il a tiré sa cartable et a sauté par derrière, se déplaçant hors du chemin de l'autre chariot pour qu'il ne soit pas arrêté.
Eli, bien sûr, pouvait déjà entendre les plaintes et les inquiétudes que certains d'entre eux pourraient lui porter, mais il ne s'en souciait pas trop. Il pouvait se protéger assez facilement et ils étaient déjà proches de la ville. Pendant la cartable à travers son corps et le reposant à ses côtés, Eli marchait avec les chariots alors qu'il étendait les bras et regardait bien le port devant eux. Quelle belle vue! Ça faisait longtemps qu'il n'était jamais allé dans un port. Mais quelque chose s'est senti... éteint. Les gens étaient bondés autour de la porte, beaucoup à sa confusion. Jogging légèrement pour rattraper le côté du wagon devant, Eli a regardé Maize et a parlé. "Monsieur Maïze, qu'est-ce qui se passe? Il n'y a pas une sorte d'urgence, n'est-ce pas?" Eli était connu pour s'inquiéter des autres, quelle que soit leur position sociale. C'est quelque chose qui a rendu le Prince très sympathique dans son pays, bien qu'il n'ait pas tout à fait compris leur sort en raison de son propre comportement différent de celui de beaucoup dans le monde.
Une fois de plus, Eli regarda silencieusement la ville portuaire devant la sienne, défaire la ceinture sur le cartable. Tirant un petit livre, il le tenait à ses côtés alors qu'il attendait une réponse de l'homme expérimenté qui dirigeait leur fête. Même s'il a attendu, il a commencé à se sentir... plutôt effrayé. À l'arrière de sa tête, il l'a joué, croyant que c'était juste sa peur du wyvern qui volait en l'air. Pour la plupart, c'était vraiment sa seule peur. Comme il détestait cette bête volante... c'était comme un dragon. C'était vraiment terrifiant pour le garçon.

When one thinks of the name 'Estali', great leaders and conquerors are usually the first to come in mind. With Eli, this cannot be farther from the truth. A passionate youth with more dedication to learning magic and learning about the world, Eli is far from taking up the mantle of a leader. His mind is constantly racing on other matters than what is currently at hand. Even his own bravery is put into question by most who meet the young man. He is not without his positive features however. As most Estali are, Eli is noteworthy of his kind heart and eagerness to resolve a matter as peacefully as possible. Conflict without reason is a worthless endeavor and only fuels the flames for more conflict, Eli was taught. Perhaps his greatest characteristic is his inquisitive mind on Anima and the ability to interpret tomes far easier than most mages, another fine quality passed down the Estali bloodline.
Another interesting quality that Eli displays is a lack of romantic feelings, unlike how most boys around his age begin to harbor such thoughts in their pubescent minds. Most advances upon the Prince are met with a polite apology and an easy denial. He has been shown to give a cold shoulder or even a verbal jab to others who try to flirt with him, so long as they keep it up. This, along with his intensive practice with Anima and exploratory tendencies, have made his father aggravated and even scared at the thought of being unable to continue the bloodline. Of course, just like he does with those who push him, his father is met with a cold shoulder.
Despite this, Eli has shown to be quite polite to women, even chivalrous to an extent.
 B I O G R A P H Y
When word spread of the prince being born, celebrations and festivals dotted the landscape. For centuries the Estalian Royal Family, the Estali, had governed with wisdom to bring the kingdom to its current glory. With another king on the way, everything seemed to go smoothly. The boy grew up as most Estali do; discovering the world around them. The inquisitive and exploratory nature Estali are born with developed them into leaders, struggling to understand the world around them. When the time was right, all Estali took up leadership roles of some kind at a considerably young age, where their attitudes mellowed and began to see the world from a more logical standpoint. With Eli, this was hardly the case. As an Estali, Eli was naturally born with a talent for Anima. What was unperceived was his passion for understanding it and the impressive ability he had as a pupil. What took a year to understand and process took four months. Scholars were baffled at his skill and pointed to his heritage as being the only possible explanation. With every passing day, Eli looked away from the political scene, and more into the beauty of the world, as well as the magic that he possessed.
Eli's very own father, Erigan the IV, was beginning to worry about the path that he took. If there was even a slight chance that Eli had know desire to fill in his own spot when he died, how would the kingdom run safely? Fear of anarchy and future wars led the king to taking desperate measures to thrust Eli into the political scene of the world. Books on the ancient history of the Estalian tribes, wars fought between rival countries, customary manners expected of a ruler, and even as going as far to match him up with various other noble girls. All of it was done to ready him for when he was to become king, but all of it fell on deaf ears. The boy wanted nothing to do with politics, thrones, or large scale battles. He want to explore the world and adventure with his powers, not coop up in a castle all day.
As the world begins to suffer from rising tensions between countries, Erigan has temporarily set his eyes off of his son in order to defend his kingdom. Eli, free of his fathers pestering, has grown restless of being held in a castle all of his life. With conflict at hand, it seems that Eli just might get his wish...
