Simon pulled a green vial from his pocket and downed its contents in one gulp.
Although the liquid was lighter in color, it shimmered as though tiny stars were suspended within it, exactly like the mystic potion Yohan had drunk when he first arrived in the past.
'Could it be?' he wondered.
But Simon's reaction was nothing like Yohan's had been.
Instead of collapsing unconscious, Simon's veins bulged beneath his skin as the green liquid coursed through his body. Even his pupils changed, a faint green glow emerging behind them.
"Was that also made by the Baker?" Yohan asked. He was used to seeing the man's creations in the form of food, so this was new.
"You're familiar with him?" Simon asked, genuine interest flashing across his face. "No wonder you managed to take down everyone downstairs."
He held up the nearly empty vial.
"Well, it doesn't matter. This is something you've never seen before."
He rotated the vial between his fingers.
