Camp Halfblood

Phae: *shrugs*

Lilith: why don't you get some rest... I'm ok now,

Stef: *has also been up most of the night, though not to the extreme of her sister. As a result, many different vials line the counter, golden liquid in each. Each one holds a different mark and some seem to glow even.*

Phae: I'm afraid the potion that you truly require will take a long time to prepare... Even after I have all of the ingredients *she looks deep in thought*

Lilith: really I'll be ok... You should really get some rest.

Phae: I feel fine... *she continues meddling with some vials and counting seeds*

Lilith: well we should at least get something to eat..

Phae: Camp is a half mile in that direction... *she points south* We are at the very edge of the protective barrier

Lilith: well I can catch something to cook if you want... That would probably be easier..

Phae: *laughs lightly at the irony and grins as she simply states* Vegetarian... *she then closes her eyes as many trees begin to grow on the outside of the cabin, the trees begin growing various fruits: apples, plums, pears, peaches, etc.*

Lilith: *smiles* then fruit and veggies will be good too.

Phae: *nods* easier as well

Lilith: for you, yes. *hunting is usually easier for Lilith because of her abilities* would you like me to gather some?

Phae: Gather whatever you wish to have

Lilith: would you like me to get you some thing while I'm at it?

Phae: *shakes her head* I'm alright *she furrows her brow in concentration as she gazes upon a book*

Lilit: *goes and gets some food... Comes back.. Hands phae some fruit* you must eat something eventually..

Phae: *searches in the book, oblivious to Lilith's presence*

Lilith: *sighs...sits down and eats*

Phae: *slumps down onto a chair made of thick vines, looking defeated* no no no! Anything but that!? *she hangs her head*

Stef: *mixes on of the lesser glowing potion in some seeds, a small booklet clutched in her palm as she stirs it, bringing it to a boil. A purple steam evaporates from the pot*

Lilith: what's wrong?

Phae: *stares blankly* Mandrake root. It is often used as a weapon and is therefore forbidden... *she looks up at Lilith* That is your-how would you describe it-complementary herb? *shakes her head* It causes nightmares and madness if prepared in a certain way, it can also heal the mind and reduce pain... To make a concoction specifically for you, I would need several *looks deep in thought*

Lilith: where do you find this forbidden root?

Phae: That's the problem. No one knows... Or at least no one you want to be asking. It is used for very dark purposes, regardless of its power to heal.
