Part One

H ave friends who need teaching? Have enemies? Have a cheating husband? Get your all in one potion solution right here! Guaranteed to turn their hair green for days on end. Custom colors can be ordered as well. Get your potions here!

Philliya Wridall kept up the chant for over an hour before finally someone came over to look. Who would have thought to find the youngest Wridall sorceress reduced to selling in the marketplace like a common peddler? But, money was money and she was in dire need of it.

The woman bobbed her head and vanished into the crowd. Philliya picked up a new bottle and began her chant once again, this time starting with the cheating husband
