Chapter 32: Third potion

I asked Zik a lot of things, some seemed random and I'm sure he assumed I was bored or something like that but I still insisted on him answering. "Ah no Vale didn't give them a bracelet like he did to you and I'm just saying that means something. I guess It was something that was available at the time. Roseanne and Olivia got a necklace and Arina got a ring. Don't even ask who made the ring, necklace and bracelet you have on because even the previous pack leader had them. I'm sure other packs have them too to give their 'helpers' In case they need to protect their minds from a vampire... What I'm trying to say is that they were created a very long time ago, whether the person who created them is alive or not I am too young to know"

Too you to know? Then it must've been created a hundred or thousand years ago and that's too old for me to be interested. " 'Helpers' as in me, Roseanne and I guess Arina? What kind of helpers do the other packs have?" I don't think they have angels like Roseanne or annoying old ladies like Arina... Well they may have better or worse than silver pack. Or maybe they are acting cowardly as Zik says they are because there's nobody like me who makes potions. Zik did explain that the werewolves of the old didn't need potions, they healed fast and weren't soft like the werewolves of the now. He explained that with a tone of shame in himself but admiration to their ancestors.

"Most packs have seers but there is one pack I know that has interesting 'helpers'. The Dona pack is led by a female werewolf, it has both a seer and someone like 'Arina'."

I felt disappointed that they only had a seer and someone like 'Arina', a seer is both great and also not really that great. All I know is they are people who are friends with fate or destiny so not my kind of people.

When he says most packs have seers is it maybe possible that Olivia is a seer? Nah I highly doubt that, seers are supposed to see or feel when danger is coming and so far Olivia has done nothing but openly stare at people. She doesn't come off as a seer but it's not like I've met a seer before. I really wanted to ask more questions but the bed had a strong spell that I didn't dare resist...

One final potion, they say save the best for last and obtaining or achieving the best was hard but giving up was not an option. Zik followed me around as always and after yesterday talk or him just sharing knowledge with me things were more relaxed between us. I was first to ask how he slept even though I know it wasn't nice since he sleeps on the chair while I slept on the comfy bed.

Today I was going to try and make an invisibility potion that will make me invisible. I know that the question is why do I want to be invisible? The last time I fought the monsters with my magic I was actually surrounded by werewolves who were protecting me instead of themselves. Which was very stupid and selfless of them. They were protecting me because of obvious reasons such as lacking strength and speed but an invisibility potion will help me with that. No it won't give me speed or strength, it's just that I know the monsters won't fight what they can't see. I can't fly like Roseanne who attacks from above with her light arrows safe from the grasp of monsters. I'm also not strong like the werewolves and hate being protected by a child. I'll still be using my magic but won't be targeted cause you can't target something you can't see.

So I began with making the potion and I wasn't surprised that I failed to get it right the first time, second, third and it's the forth time where I started laughing nervously. This is proving to be harder than I thought it would be and it's also understandable as I don't just want a simple invisibility potion. I want this potion to not just make me invisible but also the clothes and things I have on me which means I'm not gonna drink it for it to work. I'll have to pour it on me. I want this potion to not just make my body invisible, my breathing and scent have to also be included. I don't want the monsters to detect me by smelling or hearing my breathing.

Zik's confused gaze that never left my back as I work frustrated me, I know he is wondering what I'm doing failing cause I've never done that before. I need to get myself in the zone by forgetting him and the world avd just focus on successfully making this potion. When trying for the sixth time I was successful or at least I thought I was but something didn't feel right about it. Luckily there was a cute pot plant and I tested the potion by pouring it on the plant. I nearly jumped when seeing the plant slowly turn invisible but I immediately frowned as I could still smell the plant when sniffing. It really is an invisibility potion but it's a simple invisibility potion and it's sadly not what I want.

Thankfully when trying for the eight time I finally got what I wanted. I felt myself being taken over by exhaustion but I forced myself to ignore it because I needed more than one invisibility potion. I had to at least get to five but my body gave out after making four more. I would've had five but since I had to do a test with one on a plant I was left with four. I wasn't happy with the results and Zik must've felt that, he was the most surprised and delighted when the first successful potion turned the plant invisible. Even more so when he couldn't she'll the plant at all after testing the second successful potion.

"You did great- amazing actually and I've never seen anyone create something like this. This is huge and to think you're powerful to make it's effect last for ten minutes is monstrous!" I appreciated his words even though I knew he'll be visiting Vale later on to tell him about this.

I was also happy that I didn't see Vale today or yesterday which means he is busy expertly looking for the Vampire's informant. I know it's unrealistic but I'm kind of hoping that the person or people are quickly caught before we leave to kill all the monsters that come in our way. It will feel uncomfortable fighting while being watched by someone who'll later on inform the vampires on how you performed.
