Hey everyone! I just wanted to write another one of these, but less, you know, dark and weird. So, here is a fun little chapter! It explains why you don't mess around with potions.
Rythian was working on a few newer potions. He was almost a master at alchemy now, but still, thousands of things could go wrong. He carefully added the ghast tear, and then, the door flew open. Teep had leant against the door, and the dinosaur's weight haa opened and nearly broken the door. Rythian's usually serene and peaceful environment was filled with the sound of splintering wood hitting a marble floor. It startled him, and he dropped the potion he had been working on.
Teep, unknowing of the certain Mage's presence in the room, picked up the door, and replaced it. Then, he continued his trek to the kitchen to get some fresh meat to eat.
Zoey had been wondering where Rythian was, again. Probably in the magic room, now she came to think of it. She skipped down to the room, and peered inside. She had spied on Rythian once or twice, because he usually liked to be left alone. But the room was empty! She called out,
"Rythian!" She began to leave, when she heard a muffled noise. She paused, and listened for a minute, before calling out again.
"Rythian, are you in here?" She walked into the room, looking around. The room looked absolutely norma- Ouch! She looked below her feet, and saw a pile a shattered glass. "Rythian, if you're hiding, I found whatever you broke!" Rythian occasionally broke things at Blackrock. But that's another story. Zoey listened again, and this time heard the muffled noise again. Zoey looked around, and approached the brewing stand. Then she heard a voice.
"Zoey! Zoey! Do you hear me?!" It was very faint though.
"Rythian, if you're invisible from one of your magic thingys, just say so!"
"Zoey! Look down!"
"Oh, are we watching that movie? I thought you said it was a musical-"
"Literally, Zoey." Zoey looked around, and then noticed something near the brewing stand that made her smile. Rythian, now looking very annoyed and tired, was tiny!
"Rythian! How are you small? Can I be small too? Or am giant?"
"Zoey, I'm small. I was working on an invisibility potion, when the door broke down. I dropped the potion, and it broke. Unfortunately, I got covered by it." His voice was the same, just really quiet.
"So what do we do? I'm guessing we aren't watching the movie."
"Zoey, I need you to make a potion to fix this."
"I'm not good with potions! What if I turn you into a wolf? Or worse, an aggressive mob, like an Enderman?"
"I'll help. You just need to get the ingredients, and do exactly what I say." Zoey could hear some worry in his voice.
"How about I just shrink myself too? That way, it''ll be more fun!"
"No, Zoey. Well, maybe. After I'm normal again. Well, normal sized anyways." Zoey immediately knew it was going to take the better part of the day for her to even find the right ingredients. It would probably take forever.
Rythian knew it was a long-shot. He had tried teaching Zoey alchemy before, but to no avail. She didn't have the patience. By the looks of it, he and her were going to need lots of it now. He called out to her,
"Zoey! Get a blaze rod, some redstone, and a ghast tear out of the alchemical chest!" Unfortunately, she didn't hear him that time. "ZOEY!" Her head turned backs towards him. "Get a blaze rod, redstone, and ghast tear out of the chest!"
"Which one?" Her voice was louder than he originally thought.
"The one on the north wall!"
"Alright...which way is north?" He sighed.
"The one nearest to the living room!" She walked to the east wall. Figures.
"The other one! By the staircase!"
"I can't hear you! Wait a second!" She then walked over to the table, and picked him up.
"Zoey!" Her hand was huge!
"Sorry! Which one now?" He was just glad she didn't have long fingernails.
"The one near the staircase!" He voice had already hurt from calling out from before, but now it ached. She walked over to the chest, and put Rythian down in it. Then, she got the items before closing the chest, leaving him the chest. He was engulfed in total darkness. "Zoey!" He called. He gave up, and wondered if his Void Ring would work in miniature form. Luckily, it did. He wondered why he didn't think of that earlier.
Once he was out of the chest, he saw Zoey looking around for him. He tried his flying ring, and it didn't work. He then quickly noticed the incoming foot, before narrowly avoiding it by teleporting.
"Zoey! Watch out!" Her steps sounded like earthquakes. She stopped, which helped Rythian's ears.
"Where are you?!"
"On the floor!"
"Oh." She picked him back up again. "Where did I leave you?"
"In the chest."
"I thought so! I was going to search there next." Zoey picked Rythian back up, and carried him over to the brewing stand before setting him down.
"I already have water bottles in the stand, all you have to do is add the ingredients. First, take a handful of Blaze powder, and slowly pour it into the water." However, Zoey did quite the opposite. She picked up a huge handful of Blaze powder, and dumped it into the water. The potion turned a sickly green.
"Is it supposed to do that?" Rythian shook his head, even though he was too small for Zoey to take notice.
"No, its not. Replace the bottles. This time, try to pour in only a few grains at a time."
Zoey took away the green bottles, and found some normal water by the brewing stand. Then, she took a more modest handful, and carefully poured it into the mix. Instead of turning green, the water slowly swirled into a light pink.
"Now take the Ghast's tear, and drop it in. Make sure no drops spill out of the bottle." Such instructions and mistakes went on for hours...
Eventually, Zoey got a splash potion that was a fiery orange. When Rythian had made sure it was ready, she walked away from the brewing stand, and threw the potion. Rythian quickly grew back to normal size. It had taken all day and most of the night. Finally, it was over.
"Good job, Zoey. I think you're better at potions than you thought you were."
"Now I can add "Alchemist" to my long list of life achievements! Oh! Rythian! You said you could make me timy like you once you were normal!" Rythian paused for a second, before saying,
"Just make sure you don't wander off." As he turned back to the brewing stand once more.
Well, I've been wanting to do that one for a while now. Now that that's done, please review! Really! I feel like they are necessary! And, tell me if you think the previous one should be continued. Or for that matter, should this one be continued. Anyway, I'm Star of Roselight.
Bye! :)
