Elara's eyes locked onto Kai at last. There was a glint there - curiosity, awe, and something close to fear.
She turned away and reached under one of her cluttered tables, pulling out a sleek black case that hissed faintly as she unclipped it open. "For you," she said, her voice quieter than before. "This one's… special."
Inside the foam-lined case sat three slim vials filled with crimson liquid that shimmered faintly, like blood infused with light. The glow pulsed, alive, as if the vials themselves were breathing.
Kai's brow arched. "What is it?"
"Super enhancers," she said, eyes bright with restrained excitement. "Mutant enhancers, to be specific. They'll amplify your Bloodweaving to new heights - stronger control, faster regeneration, sharper senses. Think of them as Nyx's serum, but an even more effective version."
Kai's gaze darkened slightly at that name, but Elara pressed on.
