The following text is transcribed from the Journal.

I wonder, sometimes, whether we are too limited in our focus. Is the cold-blooded nature of the reptile more useful than the mammalian warm-blood approach? I watch the creatures of this region, the kebbits, the cows, the sheep, and I see how they multiply and spread at a pace that far exceeds our own.

By contrast, the dragons I birth are a slow and laborious effort. Each one must be carefully managed and maintained with focused precision. Even those capable of spawning their own young do so slowly, often brooding no more than a single viable progeny in a century of practice.

Even my prize specimen produced only a single heir, a red-scaled whelp no less, unlike his mother’s multicoloured hues. Perhaps the fault lies in the father. I should dissect him and see where the problem begins.

But I lose my train of thought. Mammals. Noisy, smelly, but they are everywhere, breeding like rats — which are also mammals, now I think about it. Perhaps I should turn my sights on them instead.

There are a pack of dire wolves that wander near my laboratory; it would be simple enough to procure a few of their number. Some adults, a few children — I’ll need a large and diverse sample size for my experiments.

Perhaps there’s a place where reptile and mammal can meet, to create a superior creature. I shall investigate further.
