Chess and Soap
A week had passed ever since Ethan locked himself in his workroom. The formula for making the soap was nearly ready and Ethan was simply working on a few details.
The room was even messier with papers and ingredients all over the place, glass jars with oils and various liquids were around Ethan who was on the floor. From those jars, the pungent mixtures of disgusting animal smell and the sweet scent of flowers drifted all over the room.
Making soap in itself wasn't difficult at all. Ethan knew the procedure well and it isn't rocket science. But Ethan didn't just want to make an ordinary soap, he wanted to make a soap that would make the skin glow and healthy. For that, he needed to search for and test special herbs that would not create any side effects.
