"Drex!"
"Yes, Milady?"
"How is the potion coming on? I want to leave soon!" Videa is pacing up and down. The snake around her arm squeezing tighter to keep himself from falling off.
"It's almost done, Milady." Comes the drawling reply from the middle-aged hunchback.
"That's what you told me three hours ago! I need that potion if I want my plan to succeed! Don't you understand that?" Videa is fuming. This morning she found out that the King and Queen's hunt has been moved a day prior to the Feast. That means their entourage will be passing by the Jade Falls any time soon.
"Done!" Drex leaps up and does a quick victory dance in anticipation of the praise he'll receive for finishing the potion.
"Finally!" Videa chimes. "Well? Hand it over!" Her outstretched hand itching to feel the power of the formula.
"Here you go, Milady." Drex hands her the potion.
Her hands grasp the delicate teardrop-shaped glass vial to study the flourescent liquid inside.
"Finally... Isabella won't know what hit her..."
As she laughs maniacally she waves her staff and dissapears in a cloud of orange smoke.
