A few years ago, a giant whale was found at the Swamp of Silence. People called it "Minutrite" because of its resemblance to Gigantrite, only smaller. Minutrite must have been buried under the mud for a long time, as it was covered with trees which made the creature almost like a little hill.

When I got to the swamp, Minutrite was lying still, breathing heavily. I was in awe when I saw this magnificent creature, and at the same time, my curiosity grew. My researcher friends and I climbed the creature to start our study. This creature was not as big as Gigantrite, but was almost the size of a small isle. The plants and rocks that grew out of its skin appeared to be contaminated. We were worried if this divine creature might not recover.

A renowned zoologist, Marius, theorized that this creature was of the same species as Gigantrite that we saw flying between Laslan and Stonegard, but about one thousand and five hundred years younger. He said that an unknown energy from the Swamp of Silence made the creature sick, killing it slowly. Marius also said that if everyone helped to remove the contamination plaguing the swamp, the divine beast might survive, as the miraculous creature they are. So, we called other scholars to spread this news.

If people help us to cleanse Minutrite, someday we might be able to see Minutrite freely flying around Talandre.
