The First Question

It was on the tip of your tongue, but then it died on your lips.

"I can't think of anything Nightwatcher sir." You say to him.

"Coniurantum is full of questions my young friend, surely you can think of something?" He said.

"What is Coniurantum? I hear my Ma say it a lot, but no one's ever told me what it is" You ask.

"Why my dear child, Coniurantum is the given name of the land on which we live, the skies in which we fly, every piece of ground from here to the Wastelands of Demerit is Coniurantum." Nightwatcher announced. "Which means 'enchanted' in the old language."

"Really? I'm standing on Coniurantum right now?" You gasp.

"Yes little one," He purrs, "this might take a while, here why don't you sit down, there's a pool of water next to my nest."

You walk over and settle into his nest, you notice that there are strange feathers lining it.

"What are these?" you ask

"Ah, those are Coocaroo feathers, it looks like a big fat bird, but it's actually 80% feather."

"Whoa, how many different species of animals live in Coniurantum?" You grow curious.

"Ah, well, there are Ice-claws, Blood-claws, White-claw, every specie of bird imaginable, and past Ghost Mountain, and the Desert of Shattered Glass, live five wolf packs, but that's another story. There are also the Great Bees, and the Ghosts, past the wolves is a colony of creatures called the Cervus, which means 'Deer' in the old language, they are deer, but the are extremely intelligent, they say to kill a Cervus will lay a curse on your soul." He paused for breath.

"Woah." You say, transfixed.

"But that's not all, a long time ago, creatures called the Vulpes thrived in the rocky cliffs that were their home, Vulpes is 'Fox' in the old language. They were winged foxes, but sadly now they are extinct." He said.

"Is there anything else?" You ask.

"There are Arabic Equus living in the Desert of Shattered Glass, and Testudo in the Lake of Tears."

You were slightly confused by these terms, but had another question already.

"Tell me about the Great Beasts." You questioned, finally happy all of your questions are being answered.
