The Wolf Cub

"Congratulations," Aether walked up to Alden.

Alden raised slowly. Now that he was not in mortal danger and relaxed, his injuries hurt worse than ever.

"Here," Aether threw a potion at Alden. 

Alden caught it and looked. It was a blood-red potion. "Could this be...A tier 3 perfect healing potion?"

Aether nodded.

Alden didn't hesitate and immediately drank the potion. The liquid was dense. Immediately, he felt a warm sensation wash all over his body.

He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.

The time flew by, and a few hours passed. Dawn arrived.

Alden let out a sigh and opened his eyes. All his external and internal injuries have healed.

"Alden, follow me," Aether said. 

Alden followed without hesitation.

Aether led the way to the forge.

They reached there quickly and entered.

"Sir Aether, what are we doing here?" Alden asked, looking around.
