Page 1/3 The Divine Beast Gigantrite - Carl Saber Gigantrite is known to be a member of one of the oldest mystical ancient species. According to a text written long ago, an entire clan of this species once existed. They have since gone extinct, with the exception of this one individual. It should be noted, however, that there is an account of a fisherman witnessing another of these creatures at sea. Gigantrite is intimately connected with the flows of Mana, the element that makes up nature. It neither eats nor sleeps, but instead accumulates energy by slowly absorbing the Mana in the atmosphere. The Mana in the atmosphere was much richer in the days when the gods were said to have walked among us, and the Gigantrites of the time were known to have soared through the sky each day, absorbing sufficient energy as they followed the movement of the sun. Gigantrites also played a role in providing vitality to other creatures, circulating the flow of Mana in nature and purifying dark energy. However, soon the Star of Sylaveth was shattered and an era of endless wars began. This caused the Mana in the atmosphere to become turbid and dim, which ultimately led one Gigantrite after another to return to the sea and perish. It is said that the last living Gigantrite missed the rest of its species so dearly that it succumbed to an endless slumber near an island emanating a strong aura of Mana. Thousands of years have passed since then. These days, the existence of the Gigantrites is little more than a legend in Solisium, akin to tales of giants and dragons. Page 2/3 About twenty years ago, a lone Gigantrite was spotted once more around Whisp Island. People considered it a good omen; a sign that an age of peace was sure to come. It became a tradition to say a prayer for peace whenever the Gigantrite was witnessed flying high up in the sky. This Gigantrite once had two horns, but one of them was broken. Some say it was the work of an ancient giant; and others claim it was the recent work of Arkeum. However, there are no credible theories as to the cause. Page 3/3 Gigantrites and Vitalstones Known as a divine beast, the Gigantrite has a very different physical structure from any ordinary creature, possessing unique circulatory organs and bodily functions. It has a substance akin to blood called Vitalon that circulates through its body, transmitting energy. When this substance is exposed to the air, whether due to injury or some other cause, it is converted into a solid form called Vitalstone. Vitalstone forms into transparent spheres that contain red energy and emit a mysterious aura. Mana is completely preserved in the sphere, and when it is returned to the wounds of the Gigantrite and absorbed, the divine beast is healed and releases a special energy. Any ordinary person who comes into contact with this energy will be healed, as well. One who possesses a Star Fragment will also acquire a highly pure Stellarite crystal from it.
