Translations:Queen of the Deep/13/en

A pained look washes over the queen’s features, and she looks sharply away from you. “Ah. Yes. I have laid more than one hundred clutches of my young in the bodies of nearly every race that calls this world their home. Water Queens are a difficult pregnancy, demanding on their hosts. Only the strongest can bear our young to term, and those that do leave an... impression upon the young they bear. You do not yet understand, I sense. Allow me to explain: I was laid in the body of a red myrmedion, a young woman who ventured into the Deep to escape the violence that consumed her people. I wield her venom, now. Her strength flows in my veins, making me mightier than my mother and granting me armor that turns aside all but the most savage of blows. They were my bearer’s gifts to me, her first and only child.”
