He refused to look at the baby, and left the two looking out toward the lip of the volcano. Overcome with bitterness, he blamed his mother again as he buried Keta next to the garden, thoughtlessly spoiling it and the small pool. However all Anna could do was to deliver the baby. In his desperation and having none else, he overcame his grudge and returned to his mother at the Cleft to seek her knowledge of healing. When he was 19 years old and Keta was pregnant, she fell ill. He met and married Leira of the Amad whom he also called Keta. He dedicated himself to the cause to rebuild and reconstruct the D'ni culture to save it from extinction. He had vague recollections of the love Anna had for his father, and for D'ni, but he held her responsible for the Fall. He considered himself a D'ni, and her an outsider. Gehn fed a bitterness towards his mother.
After Aitrus' death, Ti'ana took Gehn to the surface to begin life anew in the Cleft. Not much is known of his life during his short time in the guilds, but when the empire of D'ni collapsed, Gehn's father, Aitrus, was lost in his successful attempt to destroy A'Gaeris. Īs a boy, he noticed that the number 5 had a special significance to the D'ni society and was found everywhere, on the ancient heraldic emblems of the ruling elite as well as the commoner houses. Gehn came to believe that his father was an important man in the D'ni world, but he was too young to see such a thing back then. His father took immense pride at each of his small accomplishments there. But Gehn's sharp mind and natural intelligence did not go unnoticed, and he was accepted as an apprentice in the Book-Makers Guild. The stigma placed upon Gehn remained a painful part of his life throughout his later years, and when he was sent to the Guilds as a small child as per D'ni custom, he endured harassment and teasing from his peers because of his mixed heritage. There were several times in his life when it was believed that he would die - an outcome viewed as necessary by those who considered his birth an abomination. Due to his mixed blood, Gehn suffered many health ailments as an infant and toddler.
