ΦAt the top of Nialathrú is a hive for the wonderbeast called the pixie. They make them to sleep and live up high, and each hive is covered in the excrement of the pixie, which has the same ability to mimic natural phenomena such as sunlight.
During the day, the sunlight made from these and the pixie's flying about illuminates the underground, ensuring proper nutrition and growth for all those here.
During the night, the hives and the pixie's light weaken as they lose the given energy, and as the pixies charge up for another day with everyone else, and just like every other night, this same thing happens tonight as well.
The beastkin return to their homes and struggle in their beds beside their families, pets, and teddies. Each with both hope and fear in their hearts, and the Fanalis stay grouped up in their small rooms which each other enjoying the last few days they will ever have to sleep like this, with many excited to one day have houses for their own.
While for the humans, some lay in their newly built homes, truly loving every moment of these spaces made for them. For those who spent their lives chained, they finally, in all senses, felt human, and for the kids from Skydust, they finally have some normality again.
But for all those who couldn't get a home, they all lay on a giant cushy plant which has its size rapidly increased by Beast battle blood arts, and all cover themselves with plants made out of the softest materials they can find.
Each and every person in this newly formed nation sleeps soundly and quietly with no danger lurking, but one boy stays up with a book in his hand and a pen scribbling down thoughts as he lies on the grand druid.
Φ"I like this idea, but maybe I am making it a bit too competitive. I should add more fun aspects, or maybe I should give certain groups a handicap or something."
As Orb scribbles away with his hair changing constantly from yellow to green to silver, Senán says, "Sleeping is a great way to reinvigorate the mind, young one."
"Sleep is for children."
"Aren't you a child?"
Laughing with a smug face, Orb says, "I happen to be a 2000-year-old warrior of a lost race, who controls ice and an immortal body."
Senán, with a worried tone, says, "Don't worry, you'll grow out of your embarrassing phase real soon."
"SHUT UP!" Calming down, Orb says, "Thanks for your worry, but I still need to try harder to match the resolve of everyone else. I have brought everyone here onto this dream of mine, and I can't allow it to crash down.
People who truly want to live and try their best at it need to be rewarded for that effort, and need a place where they can grow outside of all the chaos in the world, so they can serve as an example."
"So you wish to use everyone here as a symbol for how humans should act."
"No. But I think that all of our good feelings are just as infectious as our bad ones, so if I cultivate the disease here we will have an epidemic on kindness one day."
"You're very adorable, Orb."
Inflating and holding his cheeks, Orb says, "Oh, this little dumpling, you can't be serious."
Senán laughs a bit, then says, "But you are also human,n so please do take a break. Otherwise, your brain will be too weak to deal with issues when they arise, like today."
"That was only a one-time mistake, I won't be wasting any brain power tomorrow thinking about idiotic things."
"Your brain is so overloaded with tasks that I am scared about what you define as idiotic things."
"You're really naggy for a wolf."
"We are pack animals."
"Yet I couldn't keep my pack together today."
"Is this about Musa?"
"Yes. After our confrontation, he tried to leave, got attacked by a wonderbeast, was saved, and is now recovering."
"Sounds like the fool reaped what he sowed."
"Your right but now that my brain is a bit clearer, I can understand him better. I think the reason he is scared to work is because he has a fear of failure. Many people became slaves for a plurality of reasons, I think Musa might have become one to pay off a debt or something across those lines. If I examine all his behaviour, it makes sense. Before he was probably sold into slavery he had to work and pay it off probably skipping meals, until he simply couldn't work anymore, and had to sell body. I feel like I was far too unfair to him."
"That's a rather nice story, but it only encompasses what brought him up to that point, for all you know the reason he was even in debt in the first place was his own fault."
"You're right. His own selfishness could have been the reason he started all of this, but I think I can understand that as well. Sometimes you have a feeling or a wish so stupid that you might through away a safe havan just to accomplish it. And when you leave it really isn't as good as you thought it. Even if the reason he fell into all of this is his own fault, I think I can still understand him a bit."
"You have a very big heart Orb, but if you truly care about passing the final form of that love down one day, you must be more selfish and live. Otherwise, you may fall into the same mistakes made in the past."
With lime hair, Orb says, "I will get to it."
"Also, don't stay up having those make-believe conversations with Captivant."
Orb's hair turns a glorious blue, and his cheeks a crimson red, then he says, "How do you even know about that?"
"My ears are quite strong, I can hear both of you right now."
"Both?"
"The little voice in your head is making you stupid. So you better stop following it, or maybe I will throw you in jail"
Jumping off of Senán Orb says, "I haven't made a new legal code yet, so, BLEH!"
Then he runs away.
Under his breath, Senán says, "I am not as nice as you are Orb, letting people crash and fall in nesscessary to me so the past doesn't repat itself. And this time when you fall, I will be there to pick you up again, I promise."

It has the ability the grow in proportion to it's nutrient intake, but due to it being an incredibly inefficient hunter it never gets enough nutrients to ever break 100 cm.

It has the ability to absorb and breakdown any object if fines before digesting it into it's body, though it takes a good while to fully absorb all the nutrients. Slimes can combine with other slimes, and they can also grow in proposition to how much they eat which allows their size to only be limited by nutrients around them.
Fact: There was often a debate due to how unsimilar they were to other animals if whether or not they were cursed beasts. But at the end of the 2nd cycle, a shaman from Seirei was able to confirm their souls were untouched. Was once a part of the Ellén collection.
Name: Parasítmatán
Height:10 to 30cm
Type: Wonderbeast, Predasaur
Description: A type of red slug-like wonderbeasts, whose body can be used to act as muscle fibres on the target. They enhance the strength of whatever they attach themselves, while absorbing nutrients from their host. Many animals allow the enhancers to stay on their bodies despite for the added strength, but it is a trap. As the enhancers only take a little bit of nutrients at first in exchange for the added power. But after a little bit of time they interwind deeper, and start taking in more nutrients, and at this point it is impossible to remove them.
Fact: Another essential part of Ellén Trechend, and due to their fondness for Ellén Cro,i they never take too many nutrients, and instead work with everyone. Was once a part of the Ellén collection.

Description: A giant grey wonderbeast that looks like an Eagle with blue fur, and three heads, one normal, two elongated heads that can retract into its body, and copper-red wings that look like an assortment of flowers, with a gold heart at its centre, but in fact that isn't true. It is actually only a small wonderbeast within its golden heart, and every other part of it is another wonderbeast that are all affectionately referred to as the Ellén Collection.
Its heads are made from three cockatrices, its skeleton is made from the Ōmukade, and its fur is made from Baba sheep that hold themselves together by tangling their hair into one another. Its wings are made from Russects, its flesh is made from Parasítmatán, which work as muscle fibres, and its insides are made up of slimes that break the food down, and the golden heart sends little vein-like strings everywhere to share the nutrients and blood to each individual beast.
Fact: Ellén can make a body out of other kinds of wonderbeasts, but due to only one type of a behemoth existing at any one moment, this is the only known one to the world.
Name: Ellén Croi
Height: 80cm
Type: Behemoth, Wonderbeast, Carnivore
Description: The heart and true form of Ellén Trechand. It looks similar to a pixie but has a golden body with tendrils emanating from its back. The true power of the Ellén is its ability to boost the individual abilities of the wonderbeasts that receive nutrients from it, which makes them all grow to a ridiculous size, and exhibit much stronger natural abilities than they would be able to otherwise, and it also has the ability to light it's blood on fire, but this burns through a ridiculous amount of nutrients so it will only do it when it's life is in danger.
Fact: The reason all of the wonderbeasts within Ellén work well together is because they all like Ellén. Ellén's strongest and mightiest ability is the ability to be loved by all wonderbeasts that exist in the earth.
