Fury in the Codex?

My first question is a nice light topic: What are the connection to furies and humans?

So furies are element creatures as with the windmanes and the mountain that doesn't like people, both mention in Bk1. However, if they are independent beings, why do the Marat not acknowledge them? Why do they only bond to humans and how does this bond work?
The Marat bond is a blood transfer, maybe like a DNA mapping or exchanging since she does get green eyes. Alerans have bonding with a fury. Both happen after a a certain age, so they aren't born with the talent, the mutation. It is a bit like mutants from x-men with their needing to "grow into" their furies. [I can't remember who says that or when.]

And what's with having more than one?!

I haven't gotten around to reading Cursor's Fury yet, but before that, Jim had never fully explained the system. Although I did get a good bit of answer out of him on the forum once.

Such things have not been illuminated.

I think it's been mentioned that the fury chooses the person. I'm trying to remember exactly what Jim said, and as I just rolled out of bed, any thinking at all is well, quite impossible. But I will ponder this today and try to get back to you if other people haven't already answered your question before I do.
