Ladies and Gentleman, in life there are many mysteries, why is the sky blue? what is the meaning of life, why are there so few reskins or variants on the gorgon, why do we not have snake waifus in the repo?

Lamias’s are such seldomly seen in magvel that most citizens don’t even know what they’re called when they see one, even the most prolific of scholars have very little info on these majestic secretive creatures. However, the one i’ve seen during my childhood compels me to search for the truth of their nature. Perhaps if i do so, i might have a chance to find “her” again. It is only natural i suppose for it was her kindness that saved my life. Still i can’t help but worry of what might befall me if i do meet another lamia, was my experience a subjective one? stitched on by my mind during the sparce moments i was awake in that cave? was her intentions pure or did she only see me as a plaything or object of amusement? I do not know. I suppose i’ll never settle that until i find another lamia, and i will.

I’ve looked through some of the oldest tomes on monsters in the most archaic of libraries through out Magvel, even in the most ancient ones, written at a time where the continent should be filled with monsters, there are sparce info on the lamia race. Despite that however, i did found a few passages delegated to describing the Lamia’s nature. Below i have translated the ancient tongue into readable language
“an unusual species of Gorgon whose beguiling voices attract much attention. They often live in solitude, but groups are known to gather once per year to sing together under the moonlight to exercise their vocal chords. Some theorize they were originally the spawn of Gorgon and humans.”
~ Dutchie
“From all the creatures of the Old Night, it was the Lamia that were the most threatening. While most Gorgons appear monstrous, the Lamia can take forms most pleasing to the eye. In the darkness of the night, they seduce unsuspecting warriors, kidnaping them and carrying them to gruesome deaths.”
~The Count

Once in a blue moon, a Gorgon “wakes up” from her slumber different from her sisters, instead of being a mere tool of evil, it develops a conscious, morality, the capacity to do good. It starts observing humans, envy and amazement in it’s heart as it realizes how different it is to it’s sisters and how human like it feels. One day, one saves a human, being injured in the process by it’s sister pack. In a cave, while she raps her protective tail around him as a means of warming him up, her strength gave way and she passed on. However this singular act of kindness awakened an all powerful unseeable being and she was given a new form and a second chance in life. Some say she’d later ended up marrying the man she saved, others have a more grim account of the man slaying her out of fear or disgust, by all accounts we’ll never know for certain
