Apothecary

But complications arise when Danae discovers a shocking truth about herself. That's she's not actually Danae, but Scarlett. She must navigate the challenges of a bygone era while keeping her true identity and purpose hidden. As she and the prince grow closer, they must confront the consequences of their hidden identities and the danger that surrounds them.

When intelligent life learned to use tools, we came into existence. When man learned to convert tools to weapons, we were there. When man developed food and medicine, we were there. When man learned to speak and write, we were there. Our sect started and developed along the evolution of tools as well as weapons. We have provided mortals and immortals alike tools and weapons worthy of legends. We have forged countless tools and weapons that made mortals and immortals into legends. We have forged legends. We are the called the Soul Forge. I am Radix Lightink, the Wordsmith of the forge. I am the first chronicler of the forge. Ever since the establishment of the sect, I have been here, keeping record of all the tools and weapons forged by sect. Now, I am not alone. Along the passage of time, I have trained ten disciples and they in turn trained theirs in the art of keeping records as wordsmiths. The sect has three main forges, the armory, the smithy, the apothecary and the library. The armory focuses on the forging and development of weapons and armors, the smithy focuses on tools and jewelries, the apothecary creates medicine and the library keeps records of all forging and transactions. This is a record of our history.

Ream was always a curious a kid. From a young age he loved being outside, he loved the wilderness, but he was forever shut into his house by his father for fear of his safety. Though this seemed like a punishment, his father, Main, didn't let the time go to waste. As an apothecary who made a name for himself, he taught his son everything he knew while he kept an eye on his activities. In their small store in the middle of the woods, sick visitors came... for a cure and each time they were treated... Until he got sick himself. But he hid it from his son. Every night, he would stay contained within his lab dredging away at a cure only to fail time after time. Ingesting a slurring of herbs and medicines, his father was only able to freeze his body completely, putting a pause on the spread. "Ream. It's time to make your mark on the world. Go, my son. Go now, find a cure. Remember father... well he will always be here waiting. I love you, my son." And thus Ream, age 15, charged out into the world to find his father a cure thinking that he'd become a high-class apothecary to save his only family, his father... only to become a Master of Poisons. Will his curiousness be his downfall? ------------------------------------------ I'll update when I want. Let's say once a week, for now.

Donovan rose from the ashes of his childhood home born with nothing at hand as his family which consisted of Apothecaries often gave their medicine and services for free; leaving Donovan wanting more from what fate had dealt him. He ran away from home, away from those martyrs who did not think of their child, away from the constant memories of being so hungry that it stung his stomach, away from the selfless freaks of nature. He began to steal little by little from food into valuables, then valuables into entire stores. He wanted more, he dabbled with the Arts of the Shadow with tidbits of Arcane to balance out his weaknesses. He travels in the guise of a bard collecting information in the taverns he visits gathering his forces after all Knowledge is power. His infamy grew yet no one knew his face, his grasp upon several kingdoms' underworld tightened. He had it all; Money, Power, Charisma, and Knowledge, so why? Why does he feel so hollow? Perhaps an Enthusiastic Walk at midnight would help fill his void.

"Tasha..." She turned. He was right behind her and they stood so close that she could smell him. It was intoxicating. She hadn't realized how much she had loved the smell of him until having gone without it for so long. "We can't be here for long, people will start to wonder-" "You have no idea how much I missed you." He stepped even closer to her. She was almost holding her breath. "I thought about you every day. You're even more beautiful than I remember." He reached up and ran his hand through the hair that framed her face, her eyes closing involuntarily at his touch. "Calder, you know we can't." She had had every intention of simply getting him alone to speak with him, to search inside him while he opened up to her, but her mind was having a hard time focusing and all she wanted was to feel more of his touch. "I spent five years with nothing to keep me going through the hardest trials of my life but the thought of seeing you again," his hand touched her cheek. "holding you in my arms, kissing you." His thumb trailed across her lips and every fiber of her being felt like it would burst into flame. His eyes, like the ocean, looked into her soul, his body standing over her, so close she could feel the heat of him, and it made her yearn for more. "Please, it's forbidden." Her voice was barely a whisper. He looked at her for a moment, taking her in, his eyes searching over her lips that were slightly open, her eyes that danced with flames of desire. "I don't care." ------------------------- The young sorceress Astasha had only wanted to settle in with a small coven and start an apothecary.
