Strength and Weakness (Part 1)

Yondra had stopped wheezing, but she was still far from being strong enough to fight. Lith gave her an alchemical flask that Solus had prepared for him which contained all the necessary nutrients for a speedy recovery after being injured.

"Thanks for the offer, but I already took a tonic. One more would do nothing but drain my energy." Yondra politely refused.

"This is no tonic. It will complement the effects of the potion you already took. Also, I'm going to give you a bit of life force. I can't afford to lose you." Lith insisted.

Yondra gulped down the potion. It had a really weird taste, as if someone had blended together grape juice, steak, and vegetables. The problem with tonics was that even though they enhanced the metabolism, they still required food to work.

Yondra had eaten but she had yet to digest the food, whereas Solus's concoction could be instantly assimilated.
