DEIMOS
And in your darkest hour,
I hold secrets flame
Eventually, the pot ceased the boiling, and he permitted it an opportunity to cool, for the molten heat to permeate away under shadows of trees and the occasional bramble of his incantations. From there, it was easy to pour the proportions out, some for him, some for Ray, another potion assembled, topped off, and capped, the lids tight and secure for storage. Glancing at the little line formed, he nearly laughed – because some days he didn’t know how he ended up in these directions.
She must have sensed he wasn’t quite done, because there was almost an insistence layered within. The Sword did manage a smirk, careful and precise. “I only have one more request,” and then he’d leave her be – their bargains struck. “Is there anything that could cause limb paralysis? Or loss of control?” Perhaps something numbing, making the adversary incapable of contorting, of utilizing, their motives, their stratagems, for they were too busy attempting to move. master of nothing place; of recoil and grace |

Ray
A panther in the night, Ray's brow furrowed at that last one before she gave a small sigh. "You really like to request difficult things. There are numerous plants that can work as sleeping potions, delirium inducers, and paralyzers. But nearly all are lethal." She gave a small, cynical chuckle. "Coming up with something for the sleeping and delirium is one thing, but this? You can't just come up with a paralyzer that only paralyzes limbs. If a poison paralyzes you, it paralyzes you. And I mean it paralyzes everything, including your diaphragm, heart, etc." She explained, thoughts racing. A fire burning bright Ray pulled out her books again and flipped to a page, and pointing to a diagram of deceptively simple looking plant. "This is hemlock. It's the best thing for paralyzing but it's highly lethal. To get it to do what you want, we need to seriously dilute it down. And I mean to an absurd level." She started writing down instructions, and dosages for the individuals that Deimos noted previously. Ray continued her explanations as she wrote. "We're going to grind the mature plants down, excluding the seeds, into a paste. And then we're going to dilute it with the amount of water per dosage that I've written. That is the best that I can do. But you need to keep an eye on your victim, ok? If they look like they can't breathe or something else severe presents itself, you need to give them this." She handed him a small vial of shimmering liquid that was clear but had the words 'Lethal Poison Antidote'. "It's my own brew and it should save their life. And bring the victim to me after as well. Actually.." Ray paused and pulled out a handful of identical vials, thrusting them at the Sword. "Take these too. They should work on any of the mixes we've made. Just please be careful with this last one especially." the only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existance becomes an act of rebellion -Albert Camus the Resurrected Sword

Ray
A panther in the night, Deimos' sheepish grin only made Ray shake her head with mild exasperation. She was at least thankful that he seemed to be absorbing her warnings. Maybe he'd even heed them. The herbalist certainly hoped so. The things that the Sword had requested were no laughing matter. The capability to harm practically cloaked the vials. But from how diligent his note-taking was, and from how they'd prepared the concoctions, Ray was hopeful that they wouldn't be misused. Beyond their intended purpose that is.A fire burning bright As the hemlock plant manifested, Ray gave a nod. "Yes. A mortar and pestle. And you have to wear gloves. Don't take any unnecessary risks with this one, ok?" From his grim expression, she doubted that Deimos would. the only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existance becomes an act of rebellion -Albert Camus the Resurrected Sword

Ray
A panther in the night, Ray put on her gloves and carefully monitored Deimos' work. She had to make a few adjustments to his tempo and force but overall the Sword had it covered. When he asked about water, it was right on time. Nodding, Ray grabbed the water and carefully put the calculated amount into each labeled vial. "Alright, so were going to take a teaspoon's worth of the paste and put it into each of these. After that, we'll seal the top and give it a good shake."A fire burning bright That would likely be the end of that brew and Ray hoped that her calculations were correct. Hemlock could be devastating if something went wrong. But the pair had been careful and methodical, so she wasn't too worried about such a case occurring. the only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existance becomes an act of rebellion -Albert Camus the Resurrected Sword

Ray
A panther in the night, Ray continued to watch Deimos' action carefully, not allowing a single mistake. As he properly added the paste, she gave a small smile. "Just until it dissolves and becomes homogenous. Then it's ready." With all of the portions divided out, Ray too began to give the other vials a shake. A fire burning bright The final potion complete, Ray wiped the sweat from her brow before eyeing Deimos. "Whatever you plan on doing, just promise me that you'll be as careful as possible. I'm glad you're not looking to accidently kill anyone, but don't forget that it's a possibility with these." She gave him a small grin. "Is there anything else that I can help with? If not, feel free to ask some other time. I'm in Torchline so just send a letter or something and I'll meet you somewhere."
