He entered the door to find a staircase leading down to a room that looked like you could make potions in. There was a shelf that contained empty glass vials and a dust book. He opened the book and found out it was an instructional book that shows how to make potions. He flipped to the regeneration potion chapter and read the steps and ingredients needed.

Ingredients:

1. Glass filled with water

2. Amethyst

3. Absinthium

Instructions:

1. Throw in the amethyst gemstone.

2. Add plenty of Absinthium (depending on the injury).

3. Say the phrase:

Dique deaeque omnes , in hoc te accerso potione viribus tuis avertere regenerationis fiat!

He found glass bottles which were empty of course. He looked around to find no source of water. Then he looked to find a small source of water only to find it glistening. He found a bucket and filled it up. The strange thing about the source was that it seemed to refill itself and never end. Probably an enchantment. Alex thought as he filled up an old cauldron.

He started filling the glass bottles and adding the ingredients he found in a drawer, finishing off with the Latin phrase. The glass bubbled intensely as he closed it and waited for it to settle. He read the rest of the supplies and could not find the bones. He was a little worried and exited the potions room.

Some bones were laying near the door. Who put that there? Am I being followed? He thought as he picked up the bones, put it in the chest and headed for his home.

After getting some matches and his shovel, he located Otlius's grave and started digging up the grave until he struck the coffin. He opened it up to find bones that looked centuries old and a foul smell. A smell that would make you wish you hadn't eaten those fish tacos...

He performed the ritual and ended with setting the oil on fire.

He stared down at the bones to find them growing flesh! He backed away half terrified, and half relieved that he performed it correctly. The bones, now filled with flesh, hair, and everything else a normal human body would have, arose, leaving Alex paralyzed.

It was him. The same man that visited him when he was 8 months old.

Otlius opened his eyes to reveal them fully white, until the color darkened onto his irises.

"Hello, once again, Alexander Smith."
