"I'm not sure if I consider myself one lucky bunny or not, but I was able to take a few samples of excess Eda Sap from our Mandrake Queen currently in the storage bay. With such an excess amount and a "joyous" payment she did this gross thing of... Erm, spitting it out into these little jars like some sort of ant-creature. It has this overwhelming sweet smell, and the texture is a repulsive almost breathing icky goop! Looking under the microscope this "sap" is an actual living organism as it only makes me question FURTHER of what this could imply for the Mandrakes and their evolutionary tree. Even worse something is compelling me to drink some of it, and a dwarf snuck in here and already has! I told Izadore to make sure he doesn't go any under WEIRD transformations, like sprouting vines out his nose or extra limbs or something. As "scientifically neat" this is, I highly doubt it'll help us further our research for immortality. Izadore can tell that Queen to take her bio-hazardous slime back!" ~Commander Proto

Hee-Ho, howdy everyone! Today I bring you even more and more lore on the Mandrakes! I mean you guys have been getting absolutely swamped with brand new information. Probably because I feel so absolutely inspired to keep on going with it! Showing how truly alien these creatures are and the things they produce... I mean, once again with this new writing style... I don't have much else to say other than thank you all for reading and you're all truly wonderful!

(Also, the dwarf was fine, I assure you, just became extremely sick for several days.)

Disclaimer and Copyright: These characters involved, and the artwork belongs to me, TwistedHensley. The Skin to Scales universe also belongs to me there, TwistedHensley... You get the drill. I want to point out that this is an Epic Dark Fantasy setting with a lot of mythological and religious tones and that there is no real-life connection to any of these events, religions, characters and it is fully, grounded, in fantasy. There is no copyright infringement intended to other forms of media as Skin to Scales is meant to be its own thing and something I've been working on for a very long time. That and this is also Cycle 9 and is the "Deep past of Skin to Scales" when the universe was in its very early stages. Thomza is without a memory of being a god, the mighty Tiamat rests in an almost eternal sleep, and many heroes are created during this time period. The gods are all resting as the mortals rise and the race for immortality and adventure has just begun!
