The Beginning: Chapter 2 "Day 1"

Lactan lake is one of the most unusual lakes seen in any civilization, no one would expect a lake to be made out of anything other than water. After the Gordor battle no one wanted to visit the Gordor “flatlands”, anyone visiting that place just felt the embarrassment and tragedy of failing such a battle, so no disease could roam on Gordor lakes, or flatlands. The Gordor Flatlands is really a fascinating place, mountains, a small forest called “Gordor forest”, and the rich soil this place contains. No one would give out such a tremendous land area. The nearest village wasn’t that far away, the village was in the south, yet villagers of the village insisted on not visiting this gorgeous land.

It was a sunny day, the sun was blazing, and towns were quiet and boring. No one felt like doing anything on this barely cloudy yet hot and passive day. Lactan Lake was warm and as white as snow. Sometimes the lake would move a bit to be warmer. The living cells inside of the lake have started to adapt to the conditions they were in. Natural selection played a big role here. Cells that couldn’t accept lactose as their prime source started to die out, meanwhile, cells that are adapted to milk started to have changes in them, it was like as if they were being genetically modified by the lactose. As the cells were multiplying, they started to accept the lactose more and more until they became one with lactose.

The first creatures to roam in the lake were single-cell creatures, just like how nature is supposed to work. There were thousands of single-cell creature varieties. Each of the kinds would create communities to defend themselves against the other kinds, but most importantly they were defending themselves against the bacteria who tried to suck off the special lactaxes these single-cell creatures contained inside them. Every single-cell creature must eat the lactose in order to produce the lactax. Lactax was the main source for these creatures to be alive. Bacteria will try everything to take that lactex stored in their enemies. All these cells not only need that lactose to live, but they also need minerals to survive, thankfully Lacolls exist in this ecosystem. They feed on lactose and minerals coming from the soil, this function makes them the cornerstone of the ecosystem, without Lacolls not a single cell could live long enough solely living on lactose. Lacolls are also responsible for the production of oxygen. There's a second type of Lacoll that lives on the surface of the lake, they suck the oxygen from the air, and lactate the oxygen in order for the creatures of Lactan lake to survive.

Alloins are other cells living in Lactan lake. These single-cell creatures are like the immune system of the Lactan Lake. They always patrol the borders between Lactan Lake and Blood Lake. They destroy an enemy using a substance they produce which is called “loins”. These loins work as bombs, they get inside the enemy cell forcefully and then they start ruining the inner system of that cell. Leading the cell all the way to self-destruct.

While Lactan lake has created a successful microscopic ecosystem it also was harnessing the minerals from the soil. Making it the richest lake in terms of minerals in the entire Gondor Lakelands.
