1)The Room
Master Mersin was waiting at the long corridor looking at the door of Alchemy room. That was it. The last day of The Trial of Grasses. Last five students were inside the room, trying to survive from the potions they drank a hour ago. It was the last test for their evolution. The potions will unleash their hidden genes... If they can survive.
He thought what was taking so long. But then he realized that they were just kids. He once was too. Maybe it wasn't so long ago but he was feeling like it was ages. He wondered how many kids would survive. He woke up from his thoughts when the door opened. It was the priestess Mara who was looking for children if they survived or didn't. She looked at Mersin with an unreadable expression which comes from the experience of years.
"Three. Only three of them survived. Other two died after they drank the poisons." she said quietly, almost whispering.
Mersin thanked her and went to room. But Mara caught his arm and said "They need to rest. They went through so many things."
" We talked about it. That's the part of the education. We must do the ritual while their genes are still active so they can use them every time." he said with annoyed voice.
He shrushrugged and escaped from Mara's hand. He took a deep breath and stepped inside.
