Abel, the first to die.Kublai Khan: By the blade of his brother, yes?Marco Polo: Envious of God's love for Abel, Cain killed his brother, concealed his body and lied to the Lord above.Kublai Khan: What became of the murderer?Marco Polo: He bore the mark of Cain and was cursed to roam the Earth, endlessly.Kublai Khan: To this day?Marco Polo: No. He wandered until he could wander no more. So he took a wife, built a house and lived there until it collapsed and crushed him dead. Some say this is an invented story, nothing more. Meant to impart a greater lesson.Kublai Khan: Which is?Marco Polo: The scholars and historians of Venice are superior to all others across the land. I have not the studies to begin to explore such questions.Kublai Khan: Try.Marco Polo: It is in our nature to seek our brother's possessions. And be willing to destroy to obtain them.
