she whispered. “Pardon me?” “Nothing, I’m going back inside.” Henry watched her until she entered the tent. He heard every word she whispered, for some reason they bothered him, but he pushed the thought away. This was not the day for any distractions. He hurried to the next envoy. “Your Grace,” he called the Duke of the North, Luka Werner. He was from the small country of Aachen. “My apologies for my rudeness, my name is Henry from House Flock, may I have a word with you in private?”

Harry finally asked. “The lighthouse.” She answers. My brows creasing, “What do you mean? What about the lighthouse?” She turns to me and smiled, “The lighthouse is much bigger than it looks from afar. It’s like a massive tower filled with thousands of memories that people had left behind once they left LUAHU.” “What?” Harry and I gaped in unison. “All memories from everyone who left the island are stored in there.” Enchantress tells us. “But isn’t it where Olca is?” I asked curiously and confusedly.

Xena says and proceeds through the conservatory planes with everyone following behind. The profit from those roses does not only cover the hospital, but the wall we are currently building to secure our borders. Seeing them is another reminder of just how much my Luna has done for the pack. “What are those?” someone asks, pointing at the three-meters all-green tree. They are all suddenly very interested in everything they see. “It’s a dalo. We use its extract to treat impotence.” “Cool.” “And those,” someone else asks. “It’s a sliming plant,” Xena replies.

Until she witnessed an exchange between them herself, she was not going to encourage her dear friend. Seraphina replenished her sleeping draughts and herbal tonics. She had told her that the flowers that were needed were called Lilies Of Celeste. Lily Of Celeste was a magical plant that can heal the rarest of ailments. The problem was that it bloomed during the moonlight in the Crystalline Forest. It was a two month journey there and back. Lady Crystobelle told Calyx that Dante and his men would accompany Seraphina to retrieve the plants. Calyx promised to return a month before the dark season.

To make it short, Celine X’s antidote is the Kentoki flower that grows without sunlight. Alas! I found the last clue I need to end everything. It is the Kentoki flower that is growing inside this hidden room. I looked around and set my trembling eyes onto the white flower which makes my head very dizzy. Slowly, I raised my hand to get one. But someone held my wrist. “Master.”

“She’s my favorite disciple, and she has great medical potential. Besides, she can even work independently now.” Thea was nervous. She looked at James by her side and asked, “Is everything going to be fine?” James gave her a reassuring smile. “Don’t you worry.” Delilah continued, “Now let’s reveal Thea’s assistant’s answers.” Holding James’ answer, Kevin read them out loud, “No. 1, Hawthorn. Correct.” “No. 2, Aconitum carmichaelii. Correct.” “No. 3, Calculus Bovis. Correct.”

I know it seems odd to go to the movies in the morning, but he tells me he has a ton of other things planned, so it is just a warm up for the day. After the movies, he takes me to this really pretty indoor botanical garden. There is a huge atrium filled with countless varieties of roses. We walk along the path looking at each one until we get to a variety called Earl Grey. The blooms are light grey with just hints of purple flecks. They are absolutely gorgeous. “Look closer, Baby." He points to the little sign at the base of the bush. There is a little plaque in front of it that says: "This rose bush is dedicated to the Goddess Iokaste by Bronx Mason.”

she said slowly. "Discount sun," Dante corrected, taking a sip of his coffee. "The real one still arrives on schedule. This is the early-access version." A convoy of vehicles rolled into the compound below. Workers began unloading crates—rare flowers that bloomed only in direct light, heat-sensitive orchids, gold-thread banners embroidered with wolf motifs, crystal light sculptures shaped like howling wolves and crescent moons. An assistant jogged up with a card, handing it to Luna with an apologetic bow.

Drumbrazil, amaryllis, dahlia, anthurium, lavender, fuschia, orchid, honeysuckle, oleander, tulip, echinacea, lily. Siena was mumbling to herself, “If I take out the first letter of each word, the result will be… DADALFOHOTEL…!” So Adalfo was playing code with her! But what was D Adalfo Hotel, another hotel owned by Adalfo?

Raider exhaled, his chest pumping vigorously. “If you believe there are no animals in the wilderness, may I suggest you hit Lake Harmante?” Maybe you can pick up that lovely potion on your way back.” “You mean the Vela Harmento?” I raised my eyebrows, hoping he was talking about another thing. “Yes, the potion came from the Vela Harmento flower. The one thing that can save a dying mage and heal all sorts of magical wounds. I would need you to bring it to me.” Alpha Hector’s voice grew thicker, giving out a sense of superiority.
