Many hours were spent in the lab. Toiling away. Trying to solve a mystery that hadn't yet been solved. Hours and hours, days upon days. When was the last time I had eaten? Slept? Did it matter?

I found a creature of lead. A pure elemental that would live only a pitiful existence. But I was able. It transmuted. One element became another.
