Experiments

Even if I wanted to hurry up and secure another place for myself, without any idea whether or not I would be able to move the parasitic core, my hands were bound.

After asking the Bonger to find a location where it could teleport me and keep the spell ready at all times, I made sure to heal all of my wounds before bringing the tattered, makeshift bag inside the tower. 

Just like I expected, only half of the items that I managed to salvage, was still usable. 

Most of the herbs died off with their medicinal properties and energy gone. 

While this was an expected outcome, it still pained my heart as I moved to plant them in my private garden. Even after I went out of my way to gather twice the amount of plants that could fit into the first compartment of this folded space, I could fill barely a half of it in the end!
