R the Poison Master

Ream was always a curious a kid. From a young age he loved being outside, he loved the wilderness, but he was forever shut into his house by his father for fear of his safety. Though this seemed like a punishment, his father, Main, didn't let the time go to waste. As an apothecary who made a name for himself, he taught his son everything he knew while he kept an eye on his activities. In their small store in the middle of the woods, sick visitors came... for a cure and each time they were treated... Until he got sick himself. But he hid it from his son. Every night, he would stay contained within his lab dredging away at a cure only to fail time after time. Ingesting a slurring of herbs and medicines, his father was only able to freeze his body completely, putting a pause on the spread. "Ream. It's time to make your mark on the world. Go, my son. Go now, find a cure. Remember father... well he will always be here waiting. I love you, my son." And thus Ream, age 15, charged out into the world to find his father a cure thinking that he'd become a high-class apothecary to save his only family, his father... only to become a Master of Poisons. Will his curiousness be his downfall? ------------------------------------------ I'll update when I want. Let's say once a week, for now. Maybe I'll increase my writing pace later if I get interested and if viewership increases. Updates will probably be sporadic. ------------------------------------------
