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 Poverty after destroying the Anaye, but spared her when she argued that without want, people would have no reason to work or strive.
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.
Poverty and Old-Age were both spared by the Hero Twins as necessary hardships. Together they ensure that people value youth, health, and abundance rather than taking them for granted.
Sleep and Poverty were both spared by the Hero Twins as unavoidable conditions of mortal existence. Each serves a function in maintaining the balance that makes human life meaningful.
