Potion Concoction
Sunday, 1st May 1581.
It was yet another bright sunny day in Damascus City. The sun shone relentlessly as the white fluffy clouds drifted lazily across the bright blue sky.
A gentle breeze blew by as the lush green leaves of the different trees planted across the street swayed ever so slightly. In the blink of an eye, winter had already passed and spring was almost at its end.
In the northeastern part of the city, close to Augustus Street, was an area that was home to a bustling market full of shops of different kinds.
This was Richard's Market, a place where people could buy almost anything. From fruits and vegetables to high-end furniture and garments, and even herbs and medicine.
Towards the east end of the market was shop number 43, Hemlock's Garden. This was the apothecary store that Livia had suggested to Bryan, the place where he could get all the supplementary ingredients for his potion recipe.
