Hello all,

Welcome back! Let’s dive right in.
(OBLIGATORY SPOILER ALERT HERE)

“Dear Jim,
Can you go into a little bit more of Tar’Mortha? How is she able to exist without food or water for so long?
Thanks,
Lindsey”

Oooo… that’s a very good question. A VERY good question. Here’s the thing you have to understand about Tar’Mortha, she’s existed for over ten thousand years. That’s significantly longer than even the lifespans of the average elder dragon. What’s more, she was gifted with enhanced telekinetic abilities. Not only is she able to partition her mind to create illusionary beings with their own thoughts and feelings that she… can’t exactly control, but can watch and influence. Her abilities gave her the ability to slow her own aging and degradation, as well as increase her overall size. I don’t really cover this in the book, but even on Drakuir, the planet would not be able to sustain a creature of her immense size. It would be an ecological nightmare. This meant that Tar’Mortha had to seek other means of sustaining herself. She discovered a way to essentially ingest energy in other forms; primarily radiation from the sun. Unfortunately, because of the sun of our world is so much different from the red one around their’s, she was unable to get the same nourishment she needed. Thus she remained encased in ice, not only keeping her hidden and allowing her to remain hidden and acting as a puppet master behind the scenes, but also slow her degradation, however much possible until she could find another source of nourishment.

Hope that answers your question!

Readers, if you liked the book, please take a moment and leave me a quick review or if you’re pressed for time, some simple stars will suffice!! I wouldn’t ask, but the more exposure my book gets, the more copies it sells. Word of mouth is everything in this business! Thanks so much, all! I greatly appreciate it!
