"This cure... it involves her succumbing to bloodlust for an extended period of time," the alchemist explained. "We have tried our best to alter her cells so that once she does go down this path, it will go smoothly."@@@@ The words sounded convincing, yet Neraxis frowned the entire time. "You say that, yet for some reason, you never got the go-ahead?" he said, approaching the table and picking up a certain red vial. "You collect her blood and even experiment on it." Just like those fuckers back then. Neraxis's frown deepened as his gaze locked onto theirs. "There is no cure, is there? At least not one you've found," he accused, and watched as one of the alchemists flinched, confirming his suspicions. "We apologize... But truly, that is the only thing we came up with. Her condition is impossible to cure, and if we let her do whatever she wants, she'd eventually calm down!" The alchemist stood up and protested. "It sounds to me like you're useless then," Neraxis said, glaring coldly at the standing alchemist. "Give me all your recipes, each and every single one. Research, data, I want everything." "But—" Before the alchemist could speak out, a sword was embedded into his brewing friend's neck, effectively killing him. "I don't want to hear your excuses," Neraxis stated and went over to one of the massive books on the table. He flipped it open, only to find that the middle pages were blank. Therefore, he turned to the very start. Yet after just seven pages, all the written content was gone, and most of it was doodling of some cucumbers with wings. "Sixteen years, and you've written seven pages. You are a disgrace," Neraxis said, making the alchemist flinch. [What about that book there?] Evangeline pointed the sword toward the bookshelf, where a single book stood. He approached, but it was definitely not what he expected. Instead of research, it was the book Celina had been talking about. The Cursed Descendants, it's called, he thought, and flipped to the first page. To his surprise, the very first thing it detailed was some kind of puzzle. A whole page, dedicated to words that had to be unscrambled in order to form the correct sentences. It didn't take long for Neraxis to solve a couple of sentences, and when he did, a recipe appeared. Curse Soothing potion... These fuckers didn't do anything at all, Neraxis glanced back at the alchemist with anger in his eyes. "It seems I was mistaken—you did absolutely nothing in those Sixteen years." "I can explain, sir..." the alchemist stammered, and Neraxis decided to hear him out since these few seconds would be his last. "Our only job was to cure her, but some time down the line... We received orders from above to halt all progress because the girl's father's donations were sustaining some kind of side project." Your side? You mean that place you took me to before? [Yup, I clean it every day so it doesn't get dusty, I'm almost done now...] She trailed off with a hum before announcing. [Done!] As soon as she did that, she appeared in her sword form, flying around the room and making each item disappear into storage, all with the exception of a single vial, which he put inside his dimensional storage ring. There were still a bunch of alchemy-related stuff inside, like vials and flasks that he had yet to sort out. But now that he was finally finished with what he wanted to do, he walked back to Aurelia's room and opened the door. However, before he could fully open it, Celina closed the door on him. "She's changing. Give us a moment..." she announced, peeking through a gap in the door. "You have blood on your face." "Oh, I'll—" As he was about to wipe it off, Celina stretched her hand out, wiping it away with a handkerchief she seemingly pulled out of nowhere. "Don't get your face dirty," she said mysteriously, and closed the door, leaving him puzzled. [I think she meant to call your face a work of art. If I had to guess, of course,] Evangeline said with a giggle. Haha... That does sound like her, he chuckled in response and paced around near the entrance until, finally, the door swung open, revealing Aurelia, who now wore a black dress identical to Celina's. "It suits you," Neraxis commented, and her face immediately turned red. But since he wasn't in the teasing mood, he simply handed the Curse Soothing potion over to her. "This is?" Aurelia stared at the potion, her eyes widening. "Why is it see-through? The ones I get are always the same black color...?" "This one is higher quality," Neraxis assured. "Please drink it." "Okay," she replied with a hesitant nod before removing the cork and downing the entire potion. As she did, her body began glowing for a moment, blinding both Celina and Neraxis. But he quickly composed himself as the golden glow disappeared, revealing a slightly different Aurelia than the one he had seen just a few seconds ago. Her blue hair had grown longer, and the same applied to her skin, which had grown much clearer. She looked like some sort of perfect model, rivaling even Celina. "Uhh... I feel a bit strange," she commented, touching her own body all over. "Do that at home," Celina scoffed and ruffled Aurelia's hair, copying Neraxis. Seeing that, he put on a warm smile. "Let's take you back home, shall we?"
