Dark Choco X Herb Novels & Stories

Carol pleads, and I just nod still not able to form words yet. I dig through the food items until I find a box of expensive chocolates. I tear them open and put one straight into my mouth, I don’t even stop to check what the flavour it is – I just need the sugar. It’s coffee liqueur and dark chocolate and I know it’s a little early for the small hit of alcohol, but it’s just what I need to bring some sense back.

It had been a while since we were there, and bringing Olivia to Octsiam today was not one of my best ideas because Anna and Estela had brought a specific poison for me to take. Knowing how she liked Greek mythology, she would soon understand why the poison was called Hecate, but I could not postpone it, especially when my time was so short. I took the poison without delay; the slight bitter taste soon became present in my mouth. I left the glass aside, going to the couch that was there. It was almost always boring to do these things; I just had to sit and wait for it to take effect.

“N-No! What are you talking about? This is a lawful Chinese medicinal pharmacy, we don’t do that illegal business here.” The chubby shopkeeper explained though it was evident that he had something to hide. “I’ve found it, Mr. Clarke!” Right then, Tiger appeared from the back of the shop with a large case of medicinal herbs. Then, behind Philip walked out an old man with a headful of white hair. Glancing at the case, he confirmed, “Indeed, Young Master. Strychnine tree, Jack-in-the-pulpit Tuber, Aconite root…” The middle-aged chubby shopkeeper could not defend himself.

'' ''Um,'' Hans answered briefly while nodding. ''Why?'' Halvir asked, focusing on Hans, ''You changed the medicine again?!'' Halvir asked again curiously. ''The one earlier was *Coca Leaf... It is addictive. The effect is too strong and if too much it will be poisonous. I will only use it in an emergency.'' Halvir frowned at Hans' explanation just now. ''This one is Kratom. It is a sedative. It has similar properties to the *Coca-leaf but is milder. It is safer even if used more often,'' Hans added an explanation.

And regarding Quirino who answered that he would come over to her, Morana just shrugged indifferently. How did Quirino know that she was here? Morana muttered along to the song she was listening to while finishing her coursework. She was indeed suspended, thanks to Quirino, but that doesn't mean his job will be finished either. Exactly ten minutes after she was there, Deane came with chocolate ice and cheese toast, the menu that Morana always ordered when she came to visit. Morana tends to always try the same thing over and over again, starting from food, drink and others, as if all of that has become a habit for her.

"There are no accidental Meetings in between the SOULS" DUA-ARIN .. .. One week later of DUA's death:- In one of the basements of Kashyap, The Beast was planning something scarier in his mind. Arin turned to a man named Hubir of the security team given by his younger brother Ariv and then he spoke softly, "Give me the mixture of Honey, Milk, and flour" Hubir was scared by Arin's black empty eyes.

Tamara said while passing me a pair of gloves then taking out a pair for herself "this long row is obviusly ice cream we got chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, birthday cake, cookies and cream, cookie dough, mint chocolate chip, butter peacan, pistachio and cotton candy" Tamara said while going down the line and pointing at each flavor I looked as she pointed trying my best to memeorize at least one or two flavors "don't worry you'll get it, it took me a month to memorize where each flavor is" Sydney said

But then. *spill* *cough!* *cough* The growing bitterness caught Cemal off guard, nearly causing him to choke. "What on earth is this taste?" He inquired, struggling to regain his composure. "It's an alcohol-quitting mocktail. I've also infused it with Abiding Guduchi powder. The medicinal properties and health benefits of this herb are extensive enough to fill an entire essay. However, the intense and enduring bitterness at its tail end seems to have a powerful effect. Everyone at my place who has given this a shot has decided to swear off drinking entirely. It's a wonder, though—I believe I've managed to replicate the taste quite accurately based on my own experiences."

"But if she screams, I am taking your head." Malachi knelt on the other side of the pallet. He began crushing the herbs, the smell sharp and bitter charcoal and vinegar and something that burned the back of the throat. "She will scream." He looked at Elena, then at Sloane. "True healing will hurts more than the poison ever did." He poured the dark liquid into a clay cup. The herbs followed. The mixture began to smoke, a thin gray vapor that curled toward the ceiling. "Hold her down," Malachi said. "And do not let go."

But tonight, his work was different. He ground the herbs with measured strokes, adding a pinch of powder that glittered faintly under the torchlight. It smelled sharp, metallic. He stirred it into a vial of amber liquid, the mixture swirling like molten gold, glowing faintly as if holding a secret. His lips curved faintly as he corked it. To anyone else, it was a tonic for strength and recovery. To Silas, it was a thread in the tapestry he had been weaving for years—slow, patient, invisible.
