LOGINAzum let out a hollow, humorless laugh as he ran his tongue across his inner cheek.“You are an alchemist,” he said. “I think you already know the answer.”I shut my eyes.“The conditions matter,” he continued. “A potion created to cure harm of a certain magnitude, can only be produced under conditi
This was everything I had been trying to accomplish since his relapse.Everything I had failed to do.Ezra was finally responding positively to the treatment.A minute later, the alarms settled down.We’d still need the overhealing operation to help his body recover from the impact of under-healing.
