After the fall the skeletons dug themselves out of the sand pile and with their leader resting the started to split into groups to star absorbing the natural mana, the reason is that when a skeleton takes in mana it is unable to completely absorb it and is leaks from the cracks in their bones so then a different skeleton is able to absorb that mana a little bit faster for the mana is slightly process.
However the young kobold is all alone because it struggles to take in mana and would bring down in the mana absorption bonus. but that is no matter for it so following the thickest traces of mana it comes upon a three way split in the cave. Each of the tunnels have varying sizes though the young kobold went into the smallest tunnel and what was waiting for them was a beautifully clear river slowly passing by.

What's more the river is populated by Quxalagu, the young of a specie's of a uncommon descendants of flood dragons called Quxagala, these young are know as one of the cutest monsters that exists and furthermore they have a high regenerative capability allowing this specie's to thrive in mana rich environments that powers their regeneration. Unfortunately for them they have been encountered by an undead, and so the young kobold attacked one of them and pulled it's small body out and thrashed it's small body side to side and instinctively tried to swallow the Quxalagu by raising it's head directly up.
resulting in its blood making contact to it's dry heart, then it felt something happen resulting in it loosening it's jaws and dropping the hurt Quxalagu into the river as something happened to the kobold and soon it's body fell limp and un moving with it's heart now strangely beating
