Chapter 4 Potion basics

"Lets see if I can remember the basics of potion making. Its been 1000 years since I made my last one after all, and a refresher wouldn't hurt." I say and then clear my throat. "To begin with, most potions need a base of some kind, in the way I make it,  its water. Holy water, dirty, regular, magical, and more. Then there's the categories I put the potions into. The way I sort them is body, arcane, physical, and other. To start off with, body has the most sub class' as there's a lot you can change. Such as the horn, wings, mane, tail, eyes and so on. Arcane effects one one magic. And as such is very hard to make and get right. Physical stuff mainly refers to endurance, strength, swiftness, and so on. These are relatively easy to make but also easy to detect with the magic spell. this way they can't be used in competitions.  And any that don't fall into these broad categories goes into other. I believe thats potions 101 done. Class is dismissed." I smile and let out a yawn as being awake for over 1000 years. So I got in my bed and fell asleep for the rest of the night.

**NEXT DAY**

It was the next day and after waking up and getting ready I find that the guards wanted me to follow them. So hats what I did. Soon I was in quite a large dining hall with a warm breakfast waiting at a spare seat. After taking my place on said seat I dug right into the food eating the very tasty breakfast. to my left was where Luna and Celestia where enjoying their meals as well. But soon Celestia began to speak.

"So Glass. What do you want to do now that your out and about once more?" She inquired 

"Probably the same thing as before. Experiment with potions, open a shop maybe, and settle down in a new town as well. Don't get me wrong, being in the capital was quite good for getting stuff and making connections, I don't have any here. Which reminds me of a few more families who owe me favors and some I owe as well." I state recalling them after thinking about it.

"Mind telling me the families who owe you and who you owe as well then?" Celestia asks.

I just nod and start giving a small list on both familes of who I owe and who owes me. "Though not sure if I can call upon those favors now... except for maybe one which you helped." 

Celestia looked puzzled and then remembered. "You are talking about the life debt they owe you for saving the wife and kid, right?"

I just nod. "Since it was a magic bond it should still be in the descendant of the family most likely." I say hopefully.

"I can also easily find out who has it as well." celestia said lighting her horn up and checking "That's a surprise. Seems my student and captain of the guard have a trace of the original spell I casted way back then. What would you like to do."

"Well for starters I would like to meet them if at all posible." I stat to her

"I will make a few arrangements then. Should be ready in a few hours at most." celestia said. "I will send them to your room when they get here as well."

"Thank you very much. I shall be waiting for their arrival." I say smiling and then head to my room to wait for them and NOT getting lost on the way as well.
