It’s a swamp. I was going strolling one day. No one else seems to have visited. I swim them when I’m free with work to escape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was watching me closely. \"I remember Urma telling me it was a myth but that Lyrun could be found in pure water bodies.

This is the first one I have seen myself. Hopefully, it can be transplanted. That way, Lyrun can grow. Lycans can be free from the persecution they face.
