Behold, The One {Book 1 Of The Behold Series}

~Chapter 5~ Magic Potions

Recently On Behold, The One:
On Alexander, Gaia and Oceana's way to the Celestial Kingdom, they were being attacked by Tree Giants. Being in a desperate situation, Alexander blew the whistle which called for Celestine and Electra's help. Even so, Oceana went missing during the attack. While Electra led Alexander and Gaia to safety, Celestine went to search for Oceana.

Chapter 4's ending:
Now that she knew they were safe, Celestine could hunt the Tree Giant down. You're going down Tree Giant.
---------------------------------------------------------

   It was around ten at night. Electra went back to the hotel because she could not find Oceana, nor Celestine. What happened to them? Why aren't they back yet? Were some of the questions Electra, Alexander and Gaia thought about.

   Interupting their thoughts, somebody slammed the door open. Behind the door was Celestine, good news, she was carrying Oceana!

   As soon as she reached the couch however, she fell on it. Her back faced up, revealing a deep wound. It was bleeding profusely and it stained Celestine's silver shirt. Judging by the wound, she immediately knew who was the culprit, the alpha wolf. That was the creature who kept poisoning people.

   "Alpha!" Electra exclaimed in disgust and annoyance, making Oceana jump awake.

   She looked at Alexander and Gaia, then to Electra.

   "Electra, you're here... What happened?" She asked, eyes softening.

   Filled with anger and disgust, Electra pointed at the gash formed on Celestine's back. Oceana was so shocked, even when she covered her mouth, you could see that it was quivering.

   "A-Alpha poison." She stuttered.

   Electra started sniffling as she ran into Oceana's embrace. It was shocking, but surprising at the same time. It just showed how close Oceana and Celestine were to Electra.

   "Please, can you save her?" Electra pleaded with tears in her eyes.

   "Hey, Celestine saved my life. I would be crazy if I didn't try." Oceana replied as she revealed the herbs in her hand.

   She took out her antidote book, flipping through the pages. The words on page 147 read as below:

To cure the Alpha Poison,
You will need the following:
-A few days of rest
-Aquamarine Potion
-Posion Countering Potion

How to make
The Aquamarine Potion:
Using Aqua, mix it with a bolt of lightning and there you go. Five minutes after that, it is ready for consumption.

How to make
The Posion Countering Potion: Combine water and fire magic to form the Cool Fire element, mix that well with a few drops of Terra drops.

Merge the Aquamarine Potion and the Poison Countering Potion to form a crystal aurora ball. Raise it above the poisoned person and let it shine above him/her for a few days until she wakes up. The moment she wakes up, she should be given another glass of the Aquamarine Potion.

   Oceana was shocked.

   "Cool Fire element? Terra drops?" Electra asked, confused.

   "Let's get the Aquamarine Potiom done first." Oceana suggested.

   She pulled out a small cup and filled it with Aqua. Basically, filled it with water. Electra summoned a single lightning bolt and aimed it at the cup.

   Thanks to their experience, the potion was done swift and quick. Next was the hard one. The Poison Countering Potion which Celestine cannot do without.

   "Prince Alexander, in order for this to work, I need you to stretch your hand out and summon a fire ball. One that can merge." Oceana explained slowly, looking into his eyes.

   "She saved our lives. Please do this for her." She added, knowing that Alexander feared water.

   As much as he feared water, he found Oceana's words reasonable. If it weren't for Celestine, they might have died in the hands of the "Furball". Alexander sucked in a deep breath before nodding in agreement. He outstretched his hand, forming a translucent flame ball as he did so.

   The red-tinted ball glistened under the dim light of the room, making it way more dramatic. Oceana felt smaller upon witnessing the red light. Slowly but surely, she unveiled her translucent aqua ball which was blue-tinted. Alexander shivered at the thought of it killing him.

   First, Alexander placed the fire aura into a cylinder, adding his piece into the potion. Slowly and carefully, Oceana lifted the fire aura and merged it with her aqua aura. To her relief, it worked. It became a liquid with alternated between the colours Red and Blue. The four looked in awe before going back to the task at hand.

   "Gaia, the Terra Drops." Electra whispered, reminding him.

   Concentrating, Gaia made some small pieces of terra and placed them into the cylinder. Electra and Oceana worked together to pour the Aquamarine Potion into the cylinder and the four of them mixed it together. At first, nothing happened. After some time though, it formed a crystalized aurora ball.

   Oceana raised it above Celestine who was now lying down with her head faced up. Now it was about midnight. The four figured it was time to sleep. They went into seperate rooms and drifted off to sleep.

   Before Electra went to sleep, she informed Crystalite about the situation and told her that Celestine and Electra would not be going back until Celestine recovers through her phone.

   "Alright, thank you for telling us. And for taking care of Celestine. I will see you soon." With that, Crystalite ended the phone call.

   Electra sighed. Celestine, please wake up soon.

   Alexander just did not feel like sleeping. Not when Celestine is injured like this. He walked out of his room in his pajamas and sat beside Celestine. Please, tell me why you had to be so willing to sacrifice your life as if you were a knight. You are a leader, with an important role, yet you made yourself seem so ordinary.

   "Miss her don't you?" Gaia sneaked up on Alexander.

   "N-No I d-don't..." Alexander denied, blushing profusely.

   "That is so adorable. Don't worry, we know you're just worried for her. Gaia is just teasing, as always." Oceana spoke up, shooting yet another glare at Gaia as she pushed him back into his room.

   Out of the blue, Celestine's eyes fluttered open.

   "Alexander?" She croaked.
