Once upon a time there was a student. Despite barely getting accepted into the university, his passions were high and his determination was absolute. And yet, he did not excel. The magic was too much for him too handle; too complex, too unpredictable, too chaotic. And yet he did not give up on his dream and continued to study despite the lack of results. That was, until he met a strange man that taught him all he knew. He would show him his mycelial roots, and teach him depths of the fungal connection in the world. This professor would showcase how the mycelium extends everywhere - into the trees, soil, and sometimes even people. And so the studen't passion was flame alit once more. This time, however his mentor would guide him towards arcane excellency.

And so the student studied. Relentlessly, and digilently. Until one day his work bore fruit. His experiments on mushrooms had finally succeeded, and what resulted was something him or his teacher could have never predicted. The Morning Dew mushroom. At first it didn't seem like anything remarkable, a fungus of a bit more than average size. But as it matured a see-through membrane appeared at the top of the mushroom, and in it was a whole reservoir of water. While testing, the pair had found out its affinity for life, and its remarkable efficiency at putting out fires. Seeing a way to use this knowledge to the benefit of everyone in the city the student tended to the mushroom, letting it grow and prosper. He built his laboratory around it, and while it was small at first, now it houses many apprentices, hopefully eager to learn of his ways.

As he mastered his arcane arts the student, now a qualified magic user of his own right, learned to animate the water dripping down from the mushroom. And so, the first Droplet was created. A tiny being full of life-giving water, able to hop around and run to water the crops, help the sick or put out fires in the town. And so he and his apprentices kept watch over the city, keeping it safe.

The end.

[Apprentice] - So the student in this tale was you?

[Tritonus Aquatica] - Indeed it is. But I'd figure letting this be a tale will inspire you all my dear apprentices!

[Apprentice 2] - I thought morning dew was a drink.

[Tritonus Aquatica] - Errm... yes. It's kind of a side business for me. The water from the mushrooms sells quite well.

[Apprentice 3] - But what of the rumours that the droplets spy on people?

[Tritonus Aquatica] - I heard no such rumours before and I think you should get your information from more... reputable sources.
