"It's the Lotus Slime," the guardian replied calmly, reshaping the floating goblet of water in her hand.
The water shifted, swirling as it turned into aa semi-transparent, bulbous sac filled with glowing liquid.
Ben's eyes narrowed. "I know that one… the weird slime plant that attacked all at once when I got too close."
The Lady of the Lake nodded. "Then I don't need to explain how aggressive they can be—or how tricky they are to breed and harvest."
"But why is it called a lotus?" Ben asked, eyeing the apperance in the water.
"You'll understand when you see it," she replied. "The bloom cycle should be close."
Ben rubbed his chin. "Alright. So, how do I harvest them?"
"It's simple. The Lotus Slimes are hypersensitive to mana. If you approach them while radiating any, they'll see you as prey. But if you suppress your mana completely, they won't react."
