"Remey, what do we need to do?" Onyx had checked on the hatchlings only to find that they had been constantly sleeping to absorb more light elemental mana. Their days had been filled with an attempt to grow with Ibis there to care for them.

"Well, first things first. We need to prepare the herbs that we have. Walker dropped them off and they are not even close to being properly dried and cured." The fact that the brunt light leaves still had moisture in them was fairly amazing. They had grown in such a tough environment where heat would evaporate everything.
"What do you recommend?" Onyx was a novice when it came to alchemy or herbalism knowledge. Everything he had heard had mostly come from Remey.
"That's simple. I have skills that help dry them properly. Add the alchemy fire from my partner, and we have it done in half an hour." Remey was very proud of this and set to work pulling the leaves from the crate they had been stored in. She was extremely careful not to break them.
Separating them in to different qualities was also a must. Since Remey had been careful to show Onyx the difference in quality, she had mostly mature burning light leaves. The few that were too only or too young would be used in lesser potions.
"Now we wash them in water that has been boiled. The boiling process kills anything we can't see living in the water. The trick is passed down to every alchemist because if the water isn't boiled and cooled the right way, mold might grow on what you wash later." This trick was used for food and many other places. Some people didn't have the skills to purify water without boiling it. Therefore, this was the best method for cleaning most things.

Remey lit the flames with the help of the alchemy fire spirit. She noticed that the fire was a little more powerful than usual but that could have just been the fire elemental crystals used as fuel. She had to avoid using wood to boil today since it could more easily catch the burning light leaves on fire.
Onyx watched carefully as Remey used her skills to add heat then pull it from the water. The way she moved was well trained. Part of Onyx was actually jealous, he felt that he had trouble controlling his body to such a strict level. "Remey, do you move that way because you have practiced this often or because you are a brawler?"
"Hm?" The unexpected question was not one that Remey had expected, but she answered honestly. "Both, I have watched the old man do this more times than I can count. But I have fought with my siblings, anyone that made fun of them, and even sparred against trees so I could get stronger. It sounds dumb, but it made me who I am…" Remey trailed off remembering the days.
"You know, my last little brother and sister moved out of the mansion this morning. They both unlocked their systems. They are going to be sailors. Apparently, they saw a small boat in the merfolk and water elf side of Genesis. They touched it and then they had a system. They found someone to teach them that day."
"Then it's a good thing I'm not going anywhere. I would hate to lose an older sister like you. And if you tried to run, I am bigger than you, so." Onyx could tell that Remey was both happy and sad. She had achieved one of the major goals of becoming an adventurer.
Since she had come to Genesis, every day her siblings from the orphanage that had journeyed with them had found their path to walk. It made Remey feel that her feet were being pulled from under her. However, it only gave her the time to push for her dreams. For her to continue to ensure that no more would lose their families. Especially the demons who had lost them due to cruelty.
"Onyx, do you know how I became an orphan? What happened?" Remey was not one to look for pity. She had never spoken of this at all. It just wasn't something brought up in conversation.

"Apparently, before I could even open my eyes my parents were moving from another village to come to the city. They wanted to make a better future around a safer place than a small village. Can't say that's a bad idea. But out of everyone that left with them in a caravan, myself and four older siblings were left alive. They never told me what monsters attacked because they didn't want to talk about it before they got older and left the orphanage. It doesn't matter though. If none of that happened I wouldn't be Remey the alchemical brawler, master of the alchemy guild, hero, and older sister."
Remey's hand fell roughly on Onyx's head. She struggled to maintain her composure before refocusing on the drying leaves. Neither of them needed to say another word. Onyx was filled with more motivation to help than ever. This led him to move right next to Remey and use his tail to fan the air helping the leaves to dry.
"Next we will use your control of dark and light elemental mana to maintain the balance while I create a base potion. The materials will be simple until they collide. The two separate base potions will be mixed with these leaves to balance it. From there we will use a few special methods the dwarves came up with to create light and darkness affinity potions. But we will use my skills to make you a balanced potion of light and darkness."
Remey couldn't say if this would be successful. They had gathered enough leaves to try fifteen times. But with their motivation and focus, she didn't doubt they would succeed before the tenth attempt.
