On the other side was a huge overgrown city, but the place that stood out the most was a small 'herbal remedies' shop. The man led them inside, took the girl from them, and rushed her into the back behind a curtain. Lucian looked around at the dried plants and little bottles. Books littered the counters and a table was set up in a corner like a work station.. with some scary looking objects. Cupid and Lucian glanced at each other in worry. The man returned after a few minutes. Sit please he said gesturing to a sofa set against the front window, my name is Yew, I'm an apothecary, a chemist, an botanist, and a psychologist, would you like some tea. The boys sat and nodded. So Yew began, what exactly is going on here. We found her in an old barn Lucian hesitated, there were a few piles of bones in the area as well, I don't know what happened to her. Yew looked intrigued. interesting he sighed, and what are the two of you up to. I'm on a mission to find allies Lucian told proudly, so that I can kill the king. That's impossible a boy snorted as he came out from behind the curtain. He was about Lucian and Cupid's age, with very pale skin and long white hair. He also had ruby red eyes and four arms. Ah Vermillion Yew smiled at the boy, how is she. Stable Vermillion replied, still in terrible condition. Thank you Yew nodded and turned back to Lucian, that seems like quite the goal. I know Lucian sighed, but I think I can do it with the right people. Nothing is impossible Yew assured, especially not in this day and age. Exactly Lucian grinned.
