Chapter 359: Brewing A New Potion - First Trial
The next morning was another one when the snowfall disturbed all their plans and instead of practicing her weapon skills with Silas, Ezra, and Damien as initially planned, Annalise found herself in the company of Esmeray, Valerius, and Elder Elaron who were in the process of preparing a special magical trial for her to test how much she had improved in the past couple of weeks.
Annalise couldn’t help but feel the tension rising in her body as the three men set up the trial for her. Thankfully, Kenric and Damien were there to provide her with the much-needed support.
Having two of her husbands by her side while the third one set up the trial for her seemed like a funny scenario but she didn’t have enough nerves to focus on the funny side.
"This is just a test, don’t be so nervous, Princess," Damien whispered the words softly against her ear, reassuring her that he was there for her.
Not wanting to speak at the moment, Annalise just nodded her head. She was happy to have her husbands’ support even if all they could do was just whisper encouraging words to her.
Eventually, it was time for her to start the test. With everyone wishing her the best, Annalise stepped inside the magical hologram prepared by Elder Elaron, Esmeray, and Valerius, and she was immediately teleported into the magical illusion that was prepared specially to test her.
What surprised Annalise was that instead of a forest or a similar view that she was expecting for her trial, she found herself standing in a small room which immediately changed all her theories regarding what kind of trial she was about to face.
She took a deep breath, surveying the room before her. The wooden shelves, laden with bottles and vials of herbs, beckoned her to explore their secrets. The cauldron, its flames dancing beneath, promised a test of her magical prowess like she’d never faced before. She knew she was being watched by Elder Elaron, Esmeray, Valerius, Damien, and Kenric, but she couldn’t let their presence distract her.
A message appeared in the thin air, written in green ink that said - she needed to brew a potion that could heal injuries, enhance the five senses, and could also help one to get the power of speed.
