"Do you know something about it?" Ayame asks.
She nods quickly, urgency written all over her face. "Yes! My parents... they are alchemists who were secretly researching how to turn adults into Wizards. They spent years on it... and finally they had a breakthrough last week when they found an old note in an ancient tome."
"What did it say?" I ask, skeptical but very intrigued.
"They discovered that the elixir alone obviously isn't enough, but almost is." She explains, her voice trembling as she speaks. "To turn an adult into a Wizard, you need a special ingredient... something called [Geimroot]. It's incredibly rare, and as far as they could tell, it only grows in one place - a location that turns out to be heavily guarded by the kingdom."
I frown, suspicion creeping into my mind.
Oh no…
