Grave Glovewort 5 Novels & Stories

I sighed deeply, taking a seat. “What is that?” Draven said, scrunching up his face as he looks at the cure in the grimoire. “The Bloodbloom Petal,” I said, softly. It takes him a minute to recognize one of the most dangerous plants to attain.

Gorrum launched another attack on Jethro and Draven before running to his agitated wife. He held her shaking shoulders and took her in his arms. He waved his arms, throwing a powder that blocked their vision. In an instant, Gorrum, his wife and the hut disappeared. “What just happened?” Crystal asked in confusion. Draven wiped the blood on his hand with a piece of cloth he tore from his cloth, “He used a powerful masking spell. Not only can it hide their traces, but also the whole hut and everything inside it.” “How powerful,” Jethro exclaimed.

It glowed subtly in his hand. “What is that?” I whispered. “Blackgold Florentis,” he said. “A cleansing soap made for recovering mages. Burns away the stinking odor of the miasma, restores the mana, and stabilizes the Core.” He rubbed it between his hands, and the water around us gleamed faintly. It was a beautiful sight. A glowing gold sunset with the love of my life. The soap had a rich amber, night lotus, and something more sharp, and it made me more lucid.

Maggie runs over with an ancient book of herbal lore clutched tightly in her jaws, dropping the heavy, leather-bound tome onto the flags before shifting back into her human form. Her face is pale beneath her wolf-form scruff as she flips frantically through the brittle, yellowed pages of the ancestral archive we managed to rescue from the vault during the initial siege. Her finger traces a faded, ominous illustration of a corrupted heart, pointing out that this particular curse is the dreaded "Phantom Rot," which can only be slowed by a rare frost-lily found exclusively in the deepest, most perilous cavern of the Frostpeak Highlands.

Azai looked down at the old symbols. "Three days of heated frostroot and ironleaf," he translated slowly. "Then moon-thistle mixed with bloodwort to draw the poison towards the surface." I wrote quickly. "And after that?" He leaned closer. His shoulder pressed against mine. "Black winterbloom." My quill stopped. "What?" "That's the final ingredient." "Is that bad?" Azai was silent. I turned towards him. Our faces were suddenly much closer than I expected. "Azai." "It hasn't grown inside the fortress territories for years."

Last, I throw in the wolfsbane root, my hands not trembling despite my worries. The combo lights up aggressively. I feel a surge of energy move through the room, causing the jars on my shelves to shake. I hold onto the counter to keep my balance. This is way more powerful than the Confidence Elixir, and it seems more dangerous. The spell was written at the bottom of the page, almost like they're etched into the parchment. I inhale deeply and read softly: “From earth's core to the storm's embrace, Give me some strength, show me some grace.

Therefore, I had no right to complain about the outcome. This, however, was a divine delicacy. I could perceive it from the door, but when it got closer, I could perceive something else. Foxglove. It’s a plant that grows ornamentally, and sometimes, could grow as a weed. If ingested by a werewolf…or really anyone with a humanoid heart, the consequences could be fatal. I took the bowl from her and looked her dead in the eye. She avoided the contact at all costs…indicating guilt.

I didn’t take my eyes off Lex. “Talk,” I said. Lex exhaled slowly, almost like he was bored. “Ghostshade grows in two nearly identical strains. One heals. One accelerates blood corruption. The difference is in the root coloration after harvest.” Maeve froze. “That’s not in any known record.” “No,” Lex agreed calmly. “Because most healers die before they can record it.” Silence hit the room like a physical force and my wolf surged hard beneath my skin, pressing against control I was barely maintaining.

"Moonflower essence, dragon's blood resin, silver sage. That's a revealing potion recipe. Illegal in most territories." He leaned closer, studying my face. "Why does Frostveil's Alpha need ingredients for exposing hidden magical signatures? Who are you trying to reveal?" "That's my business," I said coldly. The trader shrugged. "Your funeral. Just making conversation." He pulled out a small leather case from inside his cloak, opened it to show vials and wrapped bundles. "Moonflower essence is the easiest, expensive but available through proper channels if you know who to ask. I can get you that by tomorrow."

“Okay then. Hunt the beast with the big horns and lead me to it. But don’t let it notice you.” With a soft bark, Bella darted away. She had never failed me in a hunt. I bent to collect river pokeroot before turning my attention to the stammerwort. Crawling stammerwort was a night-loving plant, rare and delicate, clinging to the shaded branches of trees as if it had crawled up on thin roots. Most people never looked up high enough to find it.
