At the Monster Slaying's end, the Hero Twins confronted Old Age, Poverty, Hunger, Cold Woman, and Sleep — beings that could not be killed, for each argued its necessity: without aging there is no wisdom, without want there is no striving, without cold there is no season, without sleep there is no rest.
Monster Slayer and Born for Water confronted Hunger after destroying the Anaye, but spared him when he argued that without hunger, food would have no value and people would grow lazy.
Hunger and Old-Age were both spared by the Hero Twins as necessary hardships. Together they ensure that life retains urgency and that youth and sustenance are valued.
Hunger and Poverty were both spared by the Hero Twins. While Hunger drives people to seek food, Poverty motivates them to work and value what they possess.
Sleep and Hunger were both spared by the Hero Twins. While Hunger drives the need for sustenance, Sleep provides the rest that allows the body to process nourishment and restore itself.
