“Well
tell me woman he needs the cure and quickly only the gods know how long he
has.” Professor Faulk said this with anger and impatience. He was far too
anxious the unknown poison coursing through Kota’s veins was obviously putting
Kota in a great amount of pain.
“The
cure lies in the jungles of Orielas just outside the village of Madaemar in the
country of Holiiand, but in the jungle lies creatures whose entire diet is made
of human flesh the venial plants eat humans but in their roots lay the cure for
a shifters poison.” As Madam Dianna spoke she used a somber tone. “Be warned
Faulk there are many dangers in Orielas.”
Professor Faulk was almost joyous though at
least there was a chance of saving his apprentice. “Why are you smiling Faulk?
Your ward may very well end up dead before you reach Holiiand.” Professor Faulk stifled a laugh “Because
Madam Kota hails from Madaemar that is where he became my apprentice since then
I have always left a warp stone in Kota’s village just in case he ever needed
to rush home, but the warp stone is only good for one person… We will have to
hope that Kota’s fellow villagers are able to read.”
…
Outside
the university Madam Dianna and Professor Faulk place Kota inside the warp
gate. The warp gate is a group of stones arranged in a pentacle; each stone was
etched with ancient runes imbued with power from long ago. After setting him
down Professor Faulk attached a note to Kota’s chest. <This is Kota son of
Drugen and Maya; he has been poisoned by an arachnid shifter. The cure for
which is the venial plant’s root ground into a paste. The venial plant grows in
the jungle of Orielas near flowing water. If you manage to cure him please send
him back to Mirage City to complete his training. If not please realize we did
everything in our power to save this young man. P.S. If he does die he owes me
twenty gold pieces which I will expect by your earliest convenience.>
“Okay
Madam the rest is up to you and his fellow villagers I only pray that he found
in time for them to administer the cure.” Professor Faulk steps outside of the
warp gate and Madam Dianna waved her hands over the poisoned youth. You would never
know by looking at her but the dean of Mirage University is one of the most
powerful mages in all of Etherya.
