The sun had already descended, painting the sky with a beautiful blend of yellow, orange, and red hues. Inside the Valentina potion shop, Damian and Kaelen could be seen sitting near the counter, while Ivy stood on a stool to reach the counter. She was separating some small plants and herbs that had been brought in by her master.
Damian and Kaelen watched with curiosity as Ivy carefully placed the herbs into glass containers filled with a mysterious liquid. Just then, the sound of footsteps filled the air as Valentina appeared and said, "Ivy, let's go to the market to buy some vegetables for dinner."
"Master, you just came back home. Why don't you rest? The market isn't too far, and I can go with these two here," Ivy suggested, motioning towards Damian and Kaelen.
Both Damian and Kaelen immediately agreed to accompany Ivy. Valentina handed Ivy some money and a list of the required items, while Damian and Kaelen went back to their room to grab their belongings.
