Eldric: wiping soot off his face Well, damn. Another fuck-up. What do you want?
FUCK! He says as more and more bubbles appear around him. He quickly grabs his cloak and attempts to run.
Takes out a small vial and pours a clear liquid over Stranger's cloak, suppressing the bubbles Don't move. I'll get you out of here.
Thanks he quickly runs away, hiding in some alleyway
sighs, looking at the wreckage Great. Just great. Who knows what kind of mess he left behind. Better clean this up before someone notices.
As Eldric was cleaning it up, Stranger was watching him, cloaked and using an invisibility potion.
finishes cleaning up, turns around and locks eyes with Stranger You've been following me, haven't you? Why?
Because I have something that may interest you he says, slowly appearing
narrows his eyes, intrigued Oh? And what might that be, my dear friend? Don't waste my time with trivial matters.
He places a bottle on the table This is a bottle of pure Netherwind. Can you use it to make potions stronger?
grabs the bottle and examines it carefully Netherwind... Pure Netherwind, no less. This could indeed enhance my potions.
Well it's yours now he says, putting his hood back on and vanishing into the night
grinning deviously Finally, a game-changer. Now, let's see how this works...
later that night, Eldric sits down in a dimly lit room, experimenting with the Netherwind. The results are immediate and spectacular as his potions become stronger and more potent than ever before
mixes the Netherwind with one of his potions, watches as it bubbles and swirls with enhanced intensity Incredible. The power within this wind...
the next day, Eldric hears about a prestigious tournament that requires potions for the contestants
nods to himself, determined If they need the best potions, then that's exactly what I'll give them.
eldric spends the next few days preparing hundreds of powerful potions, gaining a reputation as a master potion maker in the process
delivers the potions to the tournament organizers, smirking Enjoy my gift. Let's see how they handle the power I've unleashed.
days later, the tournament begins, and it doesn't take long for the potency of Eldric's potions to make a difference
watches from the sidelines as contestants, fueled by his potions, push their limits and achieve incredible feats Ah, the fruits of my labor.
eldric soon gets hired by many other people for their potion needs
sits in his workshop, surrounded by ingredients and potions in various stages of completion, muttering to himself Strength, agility, wisdom...
Power... he says, noticing Eldric's new motto
smirks, nodding in agreement Indeed, power. And I am the master of unleashing it. reaches for a vial and a mysterious substance inside
the next day, Eldric gets a job from someone who wants to be stronger in his sword fighting, which leads to Eldric making potions that provide strength
mixes the mysterious substance with one of his strength potions, watches as it creates a thick, dark liquid This... this will be interesting.
later, Eldric gives the man a potion of strength. The man drinks it and goes on a rampage, crushing everyone in his way until he reaches the royal palace and fights the king
raises an eyebrow, intrigued by the chaos unfolding Well, well. Looks like my potion has quite the kick. Entertaining, if nothing else.
the king easily defeats the man, who collapses and confesses that he had been driven mad by the potion
chuckles, shaking his head Well, well. Seems my potion stirred up quite a hornet's nest. But don't worry, I'll learn from this.
the king calls for Eldric's execution, but sees Eldric's immense skill with a sword and decides to instead banish him from the kingdom
grabs his bag of potions and looks the king in the eye Very well. If you want to banish me, I won't argue.
eldric decides to live in a forest where he can train freely
sets up camp in the forest, gathering wood and setting up a makeshift training area Peace and quiet at last. Time to focus on my craft.
eldric trains for months, becoming even stronger
practices his swordplay, his movements fluid and precise, his eyes focused and determined Every swing, every strike, is a step closer to perfection.
one day, Eldric hears footsteps behind him
swiftly turns around, hand on the hilt of his sword Show yourself! Who dares approach my domain?
