A silvery potion used by the Moon Claw tribe, this amazing medicine can heal almost any wound. The catch being that it has to be exposed to moonlight. Only then can it be used as it shines and seals the injury. Any blood loss will return to the patient in an instant. This powerful medicine has yet another catch, the ingredients are hard to come by. The additives are as follows; ground moonstone found in the underground kingdom of Skapejuvel, the pollen from tropical white morning-glory found in various lands in the region of Floresta, a needle from a cactus with the flower of a night-blooming cereus found in the land of Spicis, seeds from the Datura flower found in the land of Venenumia, and leaves from the Mentzelia Pumila flower found in the land of Kasi. To smooth out the mixture, one boils the ground materials together until it reaches that silvery color that is so familiar. Though it is not complete without a blast of lunar energy from the brewer. All of these span the world of Magitotum and takes at least a few months of travel to obtain them. A feat not easily done by any creature without finding danger.

About the Author: Avoiding Spoilers
I know I know another About the Author post so soon but I had to put this up to explain myself. You might be asking yourself why I am avoiding telling you about other creatures and places I have mentioned such as the Jiqeeran. There is a simple reason for this; that being I wish not to spoil future books. As of now, all my posts retain to information found in the first book of my Scales series, Scars and Scales, while avoiding spoiling any plot lines. If I start talking about species and places we dive into in the other books; there is a distinct possibility of spoiling some surprises. I want to see/hear you enjoy the books that will be in your hands some day. So please be patient as I add some new content by adding a new category known as Item Inquiry. In this new division, we will be taking a look at specific tools that Xerxes and his company find/use on their journey.
Species Spotlight: Leprechaun
A trickster by nature, this creature relies on magic to defend itself though that may not be the right word. Leprechauns are usually total cowards, only getting physical during a bar brawl with their kin. As much as they avoid fighting, it does not mean they recoil from conflict. Most of these creatures gain their vast wealth by tricking other creatures out of their money. Their magic revolves around teleportation, shape shifting, and misdirection; allowing for the leprechaun to prevent their capture. If this unfortunate event occurs, they are either required to give up their pot of gold or grant one wish. This is considered the most embarrassing of circumstances that can happen to one of their own. When not swindling people from their money, they have a talented and honest gift of shoe making. To wear a shoe made by these creatures is to wear a soft blanket that hugs the soles. Don’t let the outside fool your for their craftsmanship shall last a lifetime and never be scuffed. To acquire such fine work, one must find their hidden village found on the island of Eire. It is said that no other creature other than the leprechaun has seen this village.
A leprechaun’s attire consists of a green overcoat with long coat tails with matching slacks while they only stand three feet tall. A white shirt is worn underneath with a similar green west with gold trimmings in the design of usually a shamrock. If one of them wants to show off their wealth, they will even wear a vest of complete gold. In appearance, they have red hair with some freckles that decorate their skin. A beard decorates the face of most males on this species. Upon their head can rest three different types of hats; a top hat, bowler hat, or paddy cap each with decorations of clovers. Speaking of which, when one of these creatures dies, the place at which their body lies becomes a bed of shamrocks. A peaceful end for this creature of mischief, but an appropriate one.
About the Author: Scheduling
Well, this post is not so much about myself but more of a logistic thing for the site. I have noticed that most people are looking at my blog Monday through Friday, while the weekends I have very few views if any. So, to let my followers know, I will be posting Monday through Friday and not be doing further posts on the weekend. That way I can work on creating new content, focus on my books, and have more time get my books into your hands. Let me know below if this seems unreasonable or if the weekend is the only time you go on. Thanks so much for all your support. It really does make all the difference and has caught the eye of a few people that might just make my dream come true.
Species Spotlight: Vibray
Look to the sky as lighting strikes and thunder crashes. In between flashes you might just see a Vibray. A species of dragon that can manipulate lightning; these creatures are feared upon the battlefield. The bottom half of these dragons buzz, crack, and pop from the electricity that replaces its lower appendages and tail. This prove to be better for their alignment of that perfect shot. To help them focus, they fold their wings around their heads like a hood. Zigzag patterns of yellow and blue decorate their thin metallic-like scales. From their backs, spikes arise that are used to absorb the electricity in the air. Their home is found in the great tower of Relampago found in the the ocean of Moana. Constant storms surround this place as lightning strikes over and over at the titanic building made of silver, copper, gold, and aluminum. This electricity is used to power the entirety of their civilization.
Unlike most dragons, they prefer to strike from a distance. A common attack method for this species is to form a bow of lightning and shoot bolts with scary accuracy. Don’t think hiding from this dragon will work either. It can see the electrical pulses of a creatures nervous system even through a storm, which is not uncommon. Much like the Kikorangi, a storm appears once this creatures decides to go all out. Another word of caution is to not underestimate this creature. Although they prefer to fight at a distance, this does not mean they are inadequate at fighting in close combat. A single touch from this dragon could kill a man from the electricity that runs through its veins. This is impart to the trace amounts of mercury found in their blood that naturally lets electricity flow. Make sure you take the necessary precautions before even thinking of battling this foe.
