Hidden in the Forest

Malachite stood over the simmering cauldron, the blood from his cut arm dripping into the liquid. The sludge colored potion turned crystal clear and began to boil violently. "Quick bring me two of the fingers and eight Narklewort leaves." He ordered one of the students closest to him. The boy was lanky and tall with straw colored hair and an unpleasant air about him. He hurried to bring the ingredients over and dropped them into the mixture. "Good, now make sure the werewolf's heart is ready for use. That will be the next step." Malachite said distractedly as he mixed the potion counterclockwise exactly 47 times. After adding the rest of the ingredients he stepped back. "There, let that brew for six months and I'll finally have it." The nature dragon was quite proud of his work. So far everything was going well. Unfortunately he'd had to hide the brew deep in the forest because it was banned from the school. But he was confident in the spells and charms they had set up around the area to keep the potion hidden and safe. It would also hide them from prying eyes and silence them to anyone outside. As he wiped sweat from his dirty face he pointed to the tall boy from earlier. "You, go tell Ambrose that it only has to brew and it will be ready by mid year."

I popped out of nowhere and smiled, "Watcha up to?"
