All magnus were spawned from the Tree of Origins, that is the lore that has been passed down for generations in Ethia. Our understanding of creation stems from the mythology of the Goddess and her fight against the demons. But when left to question, the Librarians pondered, what truly is life and where does it come from. Is life an energy, or an element like fire and ice? Maybe the answer can be found from the humble Skreetle over in the Ruined Kingdom.
The Skreetle are an anomaly, a remnant of what once was, and the keepers of the Old Kingdom in an unfortunate way. When first setting eyes on a Skreetle, its most apparent feature would be the bright, luminescent, green sacs around their claws and abdomen. These sacs are not filled with venom or poison as was first theorized, but with the materialized essence of life energy itself. Touching the fluid like substance will heal the gravest of wounds and can even heal the sick.
As bizarre as it sounds, the Skreetle actually attacks by injecting life energies into its target. With an appropriate amount, this would actually heal whomever was injected, but when injected with too much, it would destroy the integrity of the target’s body. We know that the Old Kingdom was a bastion to a bounty of nature and life seem to spring from the ground itself. Perhaps the Skreetle is a reflection of those days, or perhaps all the life in the land was taken to fill those bright green sacs.
