Chapter VI: Apothecary

*Seto POV*

I awoke with a start. My dream was... Weird, to say the least. It seemed to suggest that I had feelings for him, judging by the way I screamed when 'he' died. Getting changed quickly, I went into the brewery to brew some potions for the upcoming battle, but alas, I had run out of ingredients. My coat was hanging on the hook so I grabbed it and went to the apothecary.

My mind had to continuously go over the list to stop it from wandering. Fermented spider eye, golden carrots, mushrooms; in fact, it seemed to me that I had run out of nearly every ingredient. It would take a while to collect all of those ingredients, let alone buy them in bulk sets. It would be near impossible.

I didn't know if my mind was just conjuring up a fake scene, showing me that I had run out of all ingredients or if I had just been making too many potions recently. But I don't remember going into the brewing room at all, making an exception for helping Brice with his potion. Wait, that must have been it, Brice was making potions by himself. I realised that this was incredibly dangerous, him making potions with no knowledge of what to do.

I hurried home and threw my coat onto the floor. Brice was still asleep luckily, no harm done. Apart from the fact that I was no longer at the apothecary, able to buy ingredients. Grabbing a pen and some paper, I wrote a note out to Brice, concerning the brewery. I told him that I would teach him when I got back.

It was still cold out, but I made sure to briskly walk over there. When I got there, I found (to my horror) that it was locked. I walked around to the back to find the shop broken into! There was a massive, gaping hole and all of the ingredients seemed to be stolen. There wasn't a spider-eye in sight.

The scene was horrendous and I wanted to investigate it even further. My mind focused onto the ginormous hole in the wall. A faint violet figure appeared outside of what used to be the wall of the shop. They placed down tnt and blew the wall up, only to run inside and try to steal everything. The shop owner came out, another purple persona, only to be thrown against the wall by powers I have no idea about. His skull cracked and the murderer ran away with the ingredients

The horrific scene stopped and all I could do was stand there. I hadn't known how powerful the enemy had become. They aren't supposed to be that powerful, not yet anyway...

*Brice POV*

I woke up later than I should've. SetoSorcerer was going to be angry. I looked around the fortress for him but I couldn't find him. Eventually, I found a note in the kitchen table written by him addressed to me. It told me (as it had been enchanted to read itself) that I had to stop making potions by myself.

I had hoped that he wouldn't find out. I guess he did. It reminded me that I had to take my potion, to control my emotions. I looked at the clock to find out that it was too late...
