Darbouk laughed again. "No, quite the opposite. Your case is interesting, and I love interesting things. But first," he said, raising the bottle, "we must finish this wine."
"I'll do whatever you want in exchange for restoring my powers," said Reizo.
Darbouk closed the book and thought for a moment. "First, I need to prepare a potion for you," he said and started taking bottles from the shelves behind the bar. "This will take some time, but it will be worth it in the end."
"Give me your nail clippings and some hair, then you can go," said Darbouk, gesturing for him to leave.
Reizo pulled out a few strands of hair and cut his nails. While handing them to Darbouk, he asked, "Well, when should I come back?" As Darbouk put the materials in his pocket, he said, "Three days from now, at sunset," and smiled again.
