Liora: holds up the herb Yo, check this out! Found it in the Enchanted Forest. Looks wild, right?
“What’s so special about it?” I ask as I look at the herb.
Liora smiles, her eyes sparkling with excitement
Liora: Well, this herb is super rare and only grows in the most remote parts of the Enchanted Forest. It's called "Moonpetal," and it's said to have incredible healing properties. Legend has it that if you brew it into a tea, it can cure even the deadliest poisons.
Liora looks up from the herb It's an anti-inflammatory herb. Really potent stuff. Can be used to treat injuries, like those bruises on your face. She points at some bruises on Peterson's face
woah… where did you get that? that’s super rare…
smiles, holding up the herb I found it while collecting herbs in the Enchanted Forest. It's called 'Moonpetal.' Very rare and hard to find. Only grows in places with high spiritual energy.
giggles You're not exactly filled with excitement, huh? Come on, lighten up a bit. It's not every day you see such an exotic plant.
yeah cool I say distractedly looking around have you seen my pendant it’s golden with a diamond on it it was last around my neck…
looks at you, noticing your distraction Your pendant? Yeah, I saw it on the ground near the south entrance to the forest. You must've dropped it when you were messing around in here.
Liora looks at the herb, examining it closely Well, it's an unusual plant, and I can't quite put my finger on it. But there's something about it that seems...familiar.
That’s crazy! Did you get burned by any of those flames?
No, I'm fine. The fire didn't reach my part of the forest. But many people died... including my parents. It was a total disaster. Liora sets the herb down on a nearby table and looks away for a moment, remembering the traumatic event.
oh wow I’ve never seen anything like that before what’s it do?
Well, I haven't had a chance to examine it thoroughly yet, but it looks like it has some strong spiritual properties. It might have healing properties, or it could be useful for rituals. I'm still studying it.
Yeah…looks like something a healer would use. You planning on adding it to your collection?
Yeah, it's pretty rare. I'm gonna add it to my collection, for sure. She carefully places the herb into a small pouch. So, have you been feeling okay lately?
hey I have something to tell you
looks up from the herb Oh? What's up? You look like you've got something important to share.
yeah cool… I stare at my hands then look back at her uhh.. I need to tell you something
notices your gaze What's up? You look troubled. Spill it.
I know what it is, my father used to make medicine from it when he was alive.
raises an eyebrow Really? Your old man knew about this plant?
Yeah, I thought the same thing. This herb is called 'Eclipse Bloom'. It's rare and only grows once every hundred years. Guess I was lucky to stumble upon it.
Wow… what are you doing out here anyway?
she shrugs Just wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the academy for a bit. Plus, I like being out here in nature. It's peaceful and quiet, unlike the chaos of the academy.
I don’t know much about herbs but they look interesting
smiles slightly Ah, well, that's why I'm the expert here. This one's called Dragon's Claw. It's said to have healing properties, among other things. But it's super rare and only grows deep within the forest.
nice find! what do you plan on doing with it?
inspecting the herb closely Well, it's quite rare. I'm thinking of brewing a potion using its essence. It might have some unique properties, considering where I found it.
wait… I take the herb from her hands it’s one I’ve heard about….it can control the spiritual energy….
raises an eyebrow Control spiritual energy? That's pretty heavy stuff. Are you sure about that?
yeah I'm sorry but I don't really care about herbs
Liora rolls her eyes Of course you don't. You're more interested in flashy magic tricks than actually understanding the real power of nature.
