Brim drunk his beer alone in the bar, his long translucent limbs bringing the drink to his 4 mouths to drink. He quietly stared at the poster in front of him:

Brim was feeling mixed emotions, on one hand he had three more mouths now while on the other hand he had a bounty.
The blood children he stole and ate each provided him with a new blood mouth however he is missing the last and most important one in order to start the formation of his insanity truth, a blood adult.
The Desiccator race life was grim there was not enough resources for every one of them, yet those who did not have anything but their body faced an even harsher fate. Even the blood beer he held in his hands was a luxury many could not afford
He finished the last drop and stood up dropping a small 100th of a blood gem and walked out of the bar silently.
He breathed in a fresh breath of air mixed with feces, dirt and blood, the streets of blern were filed with hushed endless screams, crying and the grinding of chains as deformed figures were slowly dragged along perpetually.

Many days later.
The compound was daunting as faces of past failed robberies stared back at him spiked on top of the large fence which barred his entry. It was built into a massive mountain acting as a cave with one entrance and one exit ensuring the blood children and adults were safe and could be cultivated using the blood which flowed from within the mountain.
It was about 47 kilometers away from blern and made Brim start regretting his life choices, he sucked in the air around him activating his 1st ability, stealth and approached the fence.
Brim held his breath in as he slowely started climbing up ensuring that the lepromencers would not notice him. He decided on attacking a lepromencer compound as although they had strong defence and offence they lacked intelligence and good senses which hopefully will make him able to sneak in silently.
The lepromancers were red scaled creatures with 2 long muscular arms, 3 eyes, 2 tails , 4 holes, respectively their nostrils and ears aswell as a large upper body for their long arms and were extremly eery as their face was flat without a nose. They had long legs that ended in flattened stubs used as shock absorbers. They used their tails to maneuver and as such were extremely flexible and fast. Able to move at fast speeds yet also unable to be injured with sharp objects due to their scales. This created a combination most would not even think about fighting or stealing from.
He silently moved into the compound tiptoing around, slowely squishing through the gap in doors however his first major obstacle came to him. A door with a guard directly standing in front of it. Although brim could try use stealth and go around him and through the doors gap it would be too difficult thus he decided to use his second ability. Dreams, he stood far from him and slowly started whispering .Although to someone amune to his whispering it would sound like the grating of metals and chalk across a school board to the guard it sounded like a melody he heard when he was younger slowly making him sleepy and finally sleepy enough to not notice the star fish shaped being slowly go past him and through the gap between the door and wall.
Brim quietly navigated through the winding hallways slowly starting to hear the echoing sound of screams and pain. Although he was used to such sounds it still made him shudder, becoming a blood children or blood adult js one of if not the worse possible outcome in being captured or sold as a slave.
Finally brim entered through a gap in a lone door and saw horror reincarnated as in front of him each behind bars hundreds of children constantly screamed as their flesh bones and self became a solid colour of blood.
Legs, arms , chests slowly corroded away being slowly changed into diffrent matter and once this started it was too late. The tendrils of blood converging into their diffrent body parts constantly pumping from the inner core of the mountain, of course the mountain gained much, with enough brains being eaten the mountain would eventually gain sentiance and be able to follow the road of insanity.

Brim carried on.
Eventually he reached the end of the hallway where the blood children were done, their entire body's made of blood and stuck in a forever screaming face until absorbed.
However in front of him would be the biggest obstacle of his journey a solid wall.
