Last Alchemist
Taking a measured step back, you let the ward’s protective aura shield you from the unknown. "I won’t throw my life away for a stranger’s tale," you say, your words cutting through the tension. The ward flares brighter as your spell takes hold, and you prepare to leave the stranger behind.You weave a glowing sigil into existence, the hum of magic vibrating through the air. "This will expose any lies," you say with authority, your eyes narrowing. "Tell me—where is your sister, and what am I supposed to do for you?"With a silent nod, you slip deeper into the shadows, signaling Kael to stay behind. "If you’re telling the truth, I’ll need to prepare for what’s ahead. Stay here—I’ll come back before first light so we can head to your village."From your satchel, you produce a small vial of radiant blue liquid, the cork slipping off with a swift motion. You hold it out to Kael, saying, "This will reveal the truth of your character. If your motives are pure, you’ll be fine."
