About this blog

Precursor is the first of Malae’s journals, written before the world realized what she had awakened.

 

"Deep beneath Skyrim, where light falters, and ancient things stir, Alchemist Malae sought ingredients for her craft. She returned, touched by a force that should have remained buried — a force that now moves through her, and through Skyrim, like a spreading shadow.

This is the beginning of her transformation… and of Skyrim’s reckoning."


Precursor is 98% complete, but not all is published yet.

Precursor

Whispers -8

It has been five days since the last egg slipped free, and still I cannot bring myself to destroy them. Scientific rigor demands observation; sentiment—or whatever poisoned impulse now stirs beneath my ribs—demands preservation. I tell myself the former justifies the latter. I am not certain, but I believe it.   In the hours immediately following the oviposition, panic lent me clarity. I gathered the eight pale orbs into a hastily lined satchel—soft wool scraps and a layer of oiled leathe

Arrivals -7

It is with a trembling hand that I now set quill to parchment once more, for the events that followed my return to Whiterun have left me in a state of such profound disarray that I scarcely know where shame ends, and scientific curiosity begins. I write this not for posterity’s sake alone, but because if I do not record the truth of what transpired within these very walls, I fear my mind will fracture entirely beneath the weight of it.   I reached my small rented room above the Bannered M

Consequence - 6

My journey northward passed with little incident, save for a brief encounter with a hungry wolf. The beast's yellow eyes caught the first light of dawn, but a firm press of my heels into my mare’s flanks and a generous amount of panic spurred us forward, leaving the wolf behind in a disappointed blur of gray fur. I arrived at the entrance of the cavernous domain at midday, heart still beating fast but none the worse for wear.   Setting up camp this time, I chose a spot a little deeper

Night Indulgences, Morning Mistakes - 5

After several months of meticulous experimentation in my lab, the confines of stone walls and the pungent aroma of ground herbs began to feel suffocating. Long hours poring over tinctures and thickening pastes had left my mind restless, time for a break - perhaps a night of revelry. I made my way to the local tavern, a familiar haunt where the warmth of a roaring fire and the laughter of fellow townsfolk could chase away any lingering fatigue.   It is a dangerous thing to lose track of

Experiments with Chaurus Ejaculate - 4

Returning from the caverns, my journey south was uneventful —a blessing considering the new substance i have In  my satchel, carefully sealed. The stark contrast between the biting chill of the   northern ice shelves and the gentle warmth of my home’s temperate climate is always a welcome comfort.           Usually after such a long journey, i would take a few days of rest first- but my curiosity got the better of me this time. I began testing the fluid immediately, be

Chaurus Egg Studies - 3

After observing and studying the Chaurus and its formidable eggs, I have also turned my attention to the various tinctures and remedies that make practical use of this potent ingredient.   Despite its natural toxicity, the burning sensation, and the lethargic temperaments it induces, the Chaurus egg—when measured correctly and mixed with specific herbs and fungi—yields potent   concoctions that can alleviate ailments and promote bodily health. Below, I review the main four re

Gestation and Hatching - 2

The gestation of the Chaurus, from the sealing of the vaginal canal to the moment of birthing is a remarkably swift process, spanning only seven to ten days. Such a brief period is likely an   evolutionary adaptation meant to aid survival in the dangerous subterranean environments these creatures inhabit. Once the leathery cover over the female’s reproductive tract degrades, she   deposits her clutch of eggs—usually numbering between twelve and twenty. Usually, they come out

Chaurus Reproductive Mechanisms

Through considerable risk and great fortune, I have finally procured a detailed observation of the reproductive habits of the Chaurus. These creatures, with their indomitable exoskeleton—   harder than most metals known to our forges—have fascinated many, yet few live to recount their intimate behaviors. Herein, I document what I believe to be an anatomically correct rendering of   their mating process.          The Chaurus, while being a four-legged predator armed
