Adventures Of The Animations: The Corrupted Lands

Chapter 9: The Potion Maker

Blue sat atop the throne where the rainwing queen normally sat. He couldn't care less about the throne but Dark had insisted he sit on it, so the rainwings know who is in control.

The blue rainwing then got up, stretching his long legs, and wings and flicked his long tail, grabbing a potion. He then drank the potion, tossing the empty bottle letting it shatter.

That's all he had been doing since corruption. Since he had discovered the potion to make the drinker more durable, and able to take more hits, Blue always drinks at least one a day to ensure that if an attack were to happen he wouldn't be defeated.

As he walked out of the hut where the throne was located, he scanned the rainforest. Mostly all rainwings stayed inside their huts, terrified of the aggressive, corrupted rainwing. Those who were out gathering food or getting supplies, would quickly dash into their huts, hiding from his sight.

"Dark could have put a virabot in charge of these jumpy lazy creatures."

Blue then headed down to a rock that was by the pond. The rock was in the sun and Blue always loved to sit on the rock, making potions.

As he arrived, he snarled in annoyance as he saw rainwing dragnets playing on the rock. "Of course the littles ones can't be lazy like the adults." He muttered then walked up to the rock. Blue sounded an aggressive snarl and all the rainwing dragonets screamed running in terror, hiding.

Blue then climbed onto the rock, laughing, and set to work, making more of the durability potion as well as other potions that can be used in battles, specifically potions that can harm his enemies.

"Um, sir, you have a visitor." A rainwing stood at the base of the rock, her scales starting to ripple to a pale green.

"Who?" Blue lifted his head, glaring at the rainwing.

"A hivewing, with spider markings along his arms."

"Ah, Viro. Wonder what he wants." Blue then climbed off the rock and flew back to the main area. He quickly spotted Viro and landed nearby. "Viro, what brings you here? Did Dark send you to ensure everything is going well here?"

Crimson flicked his tail, then held his head up like Viro did. "That he did."

"Well, all is good here. These lazy creatures barely leave their huts so I never need to worry about them." Blue pulled out a small dagger and began to spin it in his claws. "How's things in the night kingdom?"

"Well, Cadet is starting to rebel. That's actually why I'm here. Her rebellion has gone to the point where she left the night kingdom. I am currently out hunting for her."

"Well, need anything? Potions? Supplies? You name it, I got it."

"Actually, I have one thing I need. For you to come back." Crimson whistled and suddenly Fallen jumped Blue, tackling him.

Jade then ran over and jabbed a dart into Blue's neck. Bright green sparks flickered around it, and the contents inside entered his bloodstream.

Just as with Crimson, Blue collapsed to the ground.

"Now, we wait to see if it works." Goldfinch flicked his tail.

"It should. It worked on Crimson and he's been corrupted for years now." Cadet spun her glitchy dagger.

"What's going on? Yel, Green, Red, where are you guys?" Blue slowly lifted his head.

Fallen held a claw out, helping the young rainwing up. "Welcome back, Blue."

"Hold up!" Blue then began to rummage through the bags he had on him. He then smiled as he opened the one around his chest and happily began to munch of netherwart.

Jade laughed. "That's the real Blue alright."

"We should focus on getting to the other kingdoms and freeing the others of the corruption, before Dark notices what we are doing. The more time we waste, the more time that runs out for Second."

"Second? What's wrong with him?" Blue stood to his feet, worry filling his eyes.

"Dark has Second, and he going to drain every ounce of his powers. That's why we need to hurry and free you all of corruption so we can get a team and go save Second."

Echo looked at the group. "IF all his powers are drained, what will happen to him?"
Fallen sighed. "I've never heard of a hollowhead having all his powers completely drained. It could kill him or weaken him terribly. Both are awful. Yes he lives if he is weakened but he is left at the mercy of Dark."

Blue then looked at the group. "We should go for Red next. The mud kingdom is nearby."

Cadet suddenly appeared in the middle of the group giving everyone heart attacks. "I just checked on Second. He's still going strong. His healing powers are keeping his strength up. But his strength is going to give out soon. We need to hurry."

The group then shot into the air heading to the mud kingdom.
