HM Hendrik returned to his office carrying the small wooden box given to him by Professor Bannister. He placed his medallion inside the box and sealed it with a special charm to ensure no one could open it. He walked over to a spot beside one of the windows and tapped on an oddly shaped stone three times mumbling something under his breath. A hidden compartment opened up and he placed the box inside. Once inside the stone reappeared.

He walked over to check on the armadillo bile.

"There, that should do it....no more dregs. I'll just add this to the cauldron....now where did I put it...I know!" As HM Hendrik reached for the cauldron the creature in the corner tank became aggitated again.

"Oh, I almost forgot! Sorry about that, a growing boy needs to eat! Here have a nice healthy horseshoe crab." He walked over to the tank with the horseshoe crabs in it and took out a rather large one and carefully lifted the tarp and tossed it in. As before, the creature in the tank aggressivelytook the horseshoe crab, devoured it and settled back down.
"Hahaha! With all that blue blood in thoses crabs, one would think you are royalty!"

He carefully took the cauldron from the shelf and placed it on his desk. He then took the armadill bile and gently added it to the cauldron.

"One would think we could develop a spell that would make this stuff smell a bit better!"

He then carefully stired the contents of the cauldron. As the two ingredents mixed, a grey-sparkling paste formed.

"Now to get this to Professor Bannister...."

He levitated the cauldron, left his office, and made his way down the halls of the castle.
