Khell frowned at this information. Drecuvis had a winter? The satellites they sent to observe the planet never recorded a change in seasons. Perhaps they didn't observe the planet for long enough? He recalled the looming storm clouds in the sky on the day he arrived. Surely this was the beginning of the rainy season. He still had time before winter settled in.

And then Embersoul started talking about slime. A slime that emerged during the cold season and consumed anything that didn't survive the frost. Was it a fungus or a parasite? Was it perhaps another beast with a consciousness? Whatever it was, it didn't bode well for any farm land the Zioruta planned for the planet. If their crops happened to die during the course of the winter, this slime would apparently come down out of the mountains and lay waste to the entire harvest. And to make matters worse, his own body was susceptible to this slime. His womb would rot and become hostile towards anything else that tried to breed life in him.

Khell raised both his hands. "All right, all right, calm down," he urged the beast. "I don't want to be a victim of this slime. However, I've been cooped up in this nest for two weeks straight. The rainy season isn't over yet. Let me go explore more of the surrounding area and I promise I'll return to the nest before the first frost sets in. Deal?"
