Kael sat quietly on the edge of his bed, the soft rustle of night wind brushing through the window.
There was a gentle knock, and then the door creaked open. A boy stepped in and it was Kael's classmate.
In his hand, he held a small glass bottle, glowing faintly with a soft blue light. Inside swirled a magical liquid that shimmered like starlight.
He walked up to Kael and held out the bottle.
"This is for you," the boy said, his voice steady but a little distant. "It's the Elixir of Body Control. Veyla asked me to give it to you."
Kael blinked, caught off guard.
"Eh? Oh… thanks," he muttered, taking the bottle and gently placing it on the table beside him.
The cool glass clinked softly against the wood.
The boy gave a slight nod, then turned to leave. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight," Kael replied, watching the boy go.
