door and closed all the windows.  She said that it needed to be as dark as possible to show us the full effects of her potions."
    "What happened next?" asked Jaida.
    Nemeth's eyes widened and he took a couple of deep breaths.  Nemeth gripped his sword even tighter.
    " Well we expected some sort of magic show," continued Nemeth.  "She decided to just throw vials filled with Stone Curse Potion at us instead!  Maybe that was her sick idea of a magic show.  There were only five of us from the academy in the shop.  Aria, Bastilone and I were there along with a boy named Yusip and a girl named Trinifi.  We headed for the door but it was locked.  Bastilone used his strength to break the lock and managed to open the door.  Aria and I made it out safely with Bastilone.  We ran back to the academy before Madame Magica could turn us to stone.  Yusip and Trinifi weren't so lucky.  They were turned to stone.  Fortunately, the effects of the Stone Curse potion didn't last long.  Both Yusip and Trinifi returned back to the dorms a short time later.  They told us that Madame Magica let them go but warned them never to come back otherwise they would be killed."
    "Why would this Madame Magica do such a thing when you were being polite?" asked Jaida.
    Nemeth's face began to show more and more signs of anger and stress, as if telling the story to Jaida were making him relive the experience completely.
    " Well, I believe I know why she did that," answered Nemeth.  "There was a rumor going around school that years ago one of the female professors that taught how to create and use potions was fired by Professor Phantas for not living up to his high standards.  She was not given another position at the school and was forced to leave.  I don't know what her original name was but she supposedly changed her name to Madame Magica.  She supposedly then opened up this potion shop outside of the school in order to compete with the potion shops inside of the academy."
    "This Madame Magica sounds like she could be a big threat," replied Jaida.  "I w ill detect her threat levels if you want me to."
    " No, that won't be necessary," said Nemeth.  "Well, at least not at first.  Oh but before I go on a rampage…is there any way that you can hide Jaida?  I'd like to speak with her alone at first.  I think she will be suspicious if she sees a Guardian Spirit floating around."
    "Yes master," replied Jaida.  "Anytime you need me to hide, I can vanish inside your body.  You just have to tell me.   If you need to summon me, just call for me and I will reappear.  It's just that simple.  If I sense that you are in extreme danger, I will be forced to show myself to protect you from harm.  Like I told you before, I will not have you die on my watch.  Oh and if you think that if she sees me she'll freak out, what do you think she'll think of a boy carrying a sword with drops of wolf blood on it?  Please sheath it before it going inside!  With that said, I'm going to hide.  Good luck master."
    Jaida vanished inside of Nemeth's body through the insignia of The Great Phoenix D'hal Natar, causing him to glow for a few seconds.  Nemeth walked up to the potion shop and knocked on the door.  Nemeth cleared his throat and tried to deepen his voice.
    "Hey, I'm a cu stomer looking for some potions," said Nemeth in a deep voice.  "I really hope that you are open today.  I heard you create some of the best potions in all of Tyraneus.  Plus, I've got plenty of money to spend!"
    "Why ye s of course we are open!" replied a high pitched voice.  "Come in!  Come right in and make yourself at home!  There's no reason to be shy!"
    The door to the potion shop magically opened.  Nemeth proceeded to make his way inside.   A foul stench filled the air.  Nemeth looked around and saw an assortment of potions lined up on various tables.  Each potion had a small card in front of it indicating what type of potion it was, what it did and its price.  Nemeth
