Tale 15
We Bring Menace to Ourselves
"A challenge??" amuse na tanong ni Amara
"Yes! A challenge! They must be out of their minds! That woman said that you are a wicked woman that would ruin the reputation of us alchemists!" tugon ni Ayla
"Hmm? Interesting.. Within a day that Master Donovan managed to heal that girl's injuries. She's already jumping around again, she would bring manace to herself.." saad ni Amara
"That's not the point! That pair of master and disciple are a bunch of hypocrites! They are accusing you instead of thanking you! You helped her and even helped to perfect their fertilizer formula.. But they claim white as black! Hypocrites!" nanggigigil na saad ni Ayla
"Ayla calm down.." Lyndon
"Grrrrr." Ayla
"Lady Amara is not someone they can easily bully." Lyndon
"But this challenge is dangerous. We don't even know what they want." Master Flint
"It doesn't matter. I'll accept it." Amara
"But—"
"Don't worry. I wont disgrace the name of our guild." Amara

The next day, maagang nagtipon-tipon ang lahat sa Garden of Serenity. Normally, isang lecture ang dahilan ng pagpunta nila sa lugar. Subalit espesyal ang araw na ito. Mainit na balita sa buong Bloodmoon ang challenge na ibinato ni Master Donovan sa Level 5 Expert na si Amara ng Thousand Crows.
Isang dyosa ang tingin ng mga believers ni Amara sa kanya. Subalit wala silang magawa dahil ang pinakamaimpluwensyang Elder ng kanilang guild ang kalaban ni Lady Amara. Hindi sila makakapagcheer para dito kahit gusto nila huhu.
"Huh! You have the guts! Akala ko ay tatakasan mo na kami.." Tala
"Why would I? You're just a small potato, I can beat you in everyway possible even if Im blindfolded." Amara
"You!" gigil na saad ni Tala
"Hmm? You have a poisonous tongue. Interesting." Master Donovan
Nilingon ni Amara ang matandang lalaki sa tabi ni Tala.
"So what kind of a challenge is this??" Amara
"Pill refining challenge! You have lectured about alchemic theories and methods these passed few days. Everyone claims to be very enlightened by your words. You already proved how knowledgable you are! But do you dare take on this challenge?" Hamon ni Tala
"Yes, an alchemist who only understand principles but do not possess practical knowledge is useless on this field." Komento ni Master Donovan.
Sa angking kaalaman ni Amara, hindi sila naniniwala na mahusay din ito sa actual process of pill refining. Someone of her age must have dedicated her years studying principles and theories. At her age, she surely didn't have time to practice refining pills.
Ito ang rason kung bakit nila ito napili. Nais nilang ipahiya ang babae! Bago pa man nito maipagaspas ang kanyang pakpak, puputulin na nila ito agad! Amara is a threat. She must be dealt with!
"Ok." Amara
"As for what kind of pill.." Master Donovan
"I have an idea!" Tala
"What idea?" Master Donovan
"Why don't we put a twist to this challenge? Instead of normal refining contest, why don't we create Unfriendly Potions!" Tala
