"Very good. I am impressed that you morized that in just a few hours. Your tenacity has outdone even so of my greatest apprentices. Are you sure you don't want to stay here and keep learning from ?" Trish had offered this many tis already. She wanted to learn more about the unique system Rey had and also be the first to hear of any other skills she was to create.
"Thank you again master alchemist. But I have an old man waiting for to co back. Soone needs to give him a heart attack when he finds out I can make potions he's never heard of and I've used herbs he's never seen." Naturally, Rey didn't want to actually give him a heart attack. She was extrely excited to finally have sothing to give back to him.
"Wait, don't tell you are going to bring the old master alchemist here?" Gil realized that Rey was making a slightly mischievous look.
"What if I am? He would love a vacation to another kingdom. Especially one with a hanging garden full of tons of herbs he's never seen."
"I hope you have a revival potion of so elixir of immortality then. He will spend the rest of his life studying if you bring him here." Walker was laughing already. He had long caught on to the intense study an alchemist would put themselves in to learn sothing new.
"We both know that if I don't bring him here before he dies he would haunt , you, and everyone in the kingdom." Rey didn't doubt that this was a possibility in the least.
"He sounds like an interesting man. I look forward to eting him. Just make sure he brings his own notes to share as well." Trish said this like it could be an option but they all felt that it was an order from another master alchemist. She could not hide her own desires to study as an alchemist.
"I think we should all begin to get in to position. The moon is going to be cresting the horizon any mont." Wade had been watching this exchange revolving around alchemy and knew that they would all soon be lost.
"Yes of course. Thank you wade for the reminder." Trish moved and placed the potions she had made around the pedestal and motioned for Gil to also co. "Place your quiver here and make sure you are watching for the correct timing. You will know when to add your mana."
"Understood." Gil kneeled next to his quiver in the ground and made himself look as small as possible. He knew that he could get in the way and wanted to be as compact as he could.
"Don't worry too much Gil, the dance is a wide one. It doesn't get close to where you are. Just focus on how things feel and jump at the right mont." Wade had been through the sa process for his own quiver and knew that it was a very important mont for any archer. The bond between them and their gear was sothing that words could not describe.
"Is there anything that we can do?" Walker didn't want to be rude and just stand around being useless.
"I would recomnd that you focus on the elents and how they react during a full moon. You might just learn a few things. Especially since I was told about your ti with the mages while I walked over." Trish had been updated by an enforcer on what the other party mbers had been busy with. She was becoming very invested in the human party.
"I will do my best to sense the changes in the elents then. I assu I should focus on the water elent and light elents in particular?" Trish nodded and moved toward the edges of the platform.
"If you two would like to spread these seeds for I would appreciate it." She handed Su and Wade two bags of small seeds. They were shaped like petals and would most likely float to the ground slowly from the height they were at.
These are spirit orchid seeds. They need wind elent and moonlight to start sprouting. After they hit the ground they will rapidly absorb the natural mana to take root. They will bloom in four or five years during a full moon. Anyone can spread the seeds but they need to be planted when the moon reached the peak so watch for the signal to throw them."
"What are the spirit orchids used for? Are they very rare?" Walker could tell that Rey already knew and asked her without hesitation.
"Spirit orchids are the only flower that can be ground to create a soul healing balm. Most of the ti if a soul is injured it can be healed by the body and soul itself. But when one is close to the end of their lifespan and receives an injury to the soul it can send them in to slumber until they wither away. There are also so skills and soul injuries that can only be healed this way. Out of the hundreds of spirit lily seeds planted tonight there might be one or two flowers."
"Wait, out of all of the seeds in my and Wade's hands we may only be planting one that flowers?" Su was stunned. It was such a low rate.
"That is why I am going to plant this bag as well. Even out spiritual farrs can't force them to flower. They have used mastery skills to no avail. The chances are just slim and the requirents incredibly rare. But that doesn't an the sights will be any less beautiful tonight." Trish held another pouch of seeds in her hands waiting for the first sign the priestess would move. "We are just lucky that the seeds form regardless of the flower blooming."
Like a seer predicting the future, no sooner had Trish spoken the lunar priestess opened her eyes and began preparing herself to dance.
