Choice
Emery didn't hesitate and chose to take the [Elysian Tree] as his first choice, recognizing its immense potential despite its current seedling stage. The sheer rarity and hidden worth of the plant were undeniable. Even though he wasn't certain how soon it would benefit him, he knew that passing up such a rare opportunity was out of the question.
The elder's expression grew heavy; however, Tessa remained unfazed. She looked at Emery with a soft smile and said, "Just promise me you won't just cook it into one of your potions."
Emery nodded solemnly, agreeing with the request.
With that assurance, Tessa carefully retrieved the container, and Emery reached out to touch the grass. As his fingers made contact with the roots, they seemed to swirl and wrap around his hand. A sudden warm, refreshing sensation washed over him, filling him with a sense of calm and rejuvenation. He knew this plant was extraordinary.
