The Elemental's life ran on like this for sometime, until Cran grew bored of the situation and stowed away on an outgoing freighter and was dropped off in the outer core worlds. Intrigued by the rich planets, Cran began making his way through the systems, cheating his way towards the galaxy's capital. Once he made it to the sprawling world, Cran was back to the streets but he was utterly enthralled by the wealth and politics of the planet. In the midst of such a "distraction," Cran met the spirited Nin'Queesha and the two found themselves lost in passion for one another. Despite the fact that Nin'Queesha was a Bre'Ama and by definition the opposite of the Henne'lel- she was the closest thing that Cran had ever come to meeting one of his own kind and her high moral also linked them. The infatuation faded away when Cran was given a good offer on a Hunter craft and bought his way into the hyperlanes.

The Water Elemental left Nin'Queesha on the core world, hoping to find more adventure, and became a bounty hunter in the outer worlds and later ventured out of his home galaxy and on into the splendid unknown. Life was good, if not a little bit messy, until Cran found out that he had not only abandoned his mate but the child that Nin'Queesha had born them both. Greatly hurt by the thought that he had left his family, Cran set out on a search for his child and mate- following the sometimes questionable directions and hints of a spacer that he had helped.

For two years the Water Elemental tried to find Nin'Queesha without luck. It was around this time, though he never gave up the hope of finding his family, that Cran's mind once more began to gaze towards new and exciting things... and this time he was taken by the idea of bonding a dragon. Not only was the act both strange and adventurous to the Water Elemental- but he strongly believed that having someone to both take care of and be loved by would alleviate his yearning for the family that he just cannot seem to find again.

A dragoness that Cran felt close to before she even hatched, Zein-mui chose Cran as her own and now accompanies the Water Elemental into the unknown, lending him both hope and devotion.
