While everyone did their best to combat the Wildgrowth plague, and eventually succeeded, there had been discoveries made in the dense jungle during the search for the cause, and for remedies.
Large caves of sorts were located, littered with the remains of broken trees, large boulders, and large unidentifiable marks on the ground that none had ever encountered. Upon entry, it was discovered that it was no ordinary cave, but a sanctuary.. for some creature's young in the form of eggs. Some of the eggs had already spawned whatever was inside of them, while others had not.
Deeper expeditions into the cave yielded the sight of feasting, as large larvae were discovered gaining sustenance whilst they were growing. What could have possibly created such large larvae? They did not exhibit any signs of hostility however, and careful inquiries were able to maneuver around them without incident.
It was then, at the order of Archaon, that eggs were to be collected and cared for in the same manner to discover what exactly Dethsiris would be dealing with. At the mountainous site of Zayla's residence, a cave was created specifically for the eggs to be housed and cared for using the same methods mephos eggs would be cared for using warmth and shelter. As the eggs would hatch, the same larval creatures would emerge and wiggle forth to find vegetation.
To ween them into a more docile like mindset, it was surmised that feeding them plant life rather than carrion would perhaps calm their minds enough that they would become amicable to those around them, and with luck, they had. Over time, the larvae grew exponentially and would morph into a larger pupae, nearly twice its original size.
As the pupae would consume more delivered vegetation, it began to shift in color, and appear to morph once again over time. The pupae would remain still, and the inner machinations of life would finally reveal the final form of this mysterious insectoid life that had, until now, remained unexplainably elusive despite its size.
What emerged then was an astonishing creature that defied all sense. A massive chitinous beetle emerged in its gloriously iridescent color. A large curled horn crowned its head, whilst two more curled forward to each side of the crown. Chittering curiosity, and the need to fuel itself with more food, it had finally revealed itself entirely. This was the creature that had constructed the cave, and relocated the stone and wood to its lair as if to say.. I live here.
Now, with this discovery, the drak would formulate an idea to spread word of this.. and perhaps create further intrigue much like the more diminutive Dethstrier had done. Missives would be sent out, calling for the other Nobles and perhaps the Empress herself, as well as a select group that had performed great service for Dethsiris and the Empire to receive the honors of becoming the first group to care for one of their own.
I'm shooting to do this on a weekend if enough interest is gained prior to the 28th or 29th, willing to provide up to 10 eggs for the event. If enough interest is indeed gained, I will try to perform the event around 5pm EST for either day, whichever day works for the majority. Any questions, feel free to ask me and I will ammend this post if need be to reflect concerns and inquiries.
