A Fallen Knight-Lost art of Necromancy

Chapter 32: Gutter soup

"Power and desire of immortality leads us to darkness"

------------

Severus didn't reply. He didn't know how to say it. Earlier he was reluctant to face reality but now, for the sake of survival he needs to acknowledge it otherwise, one day he will die in suspense. He would die without knowing the name of the real culprit.

"Do you remember that gutter soup?"

Noworry really thought Severus was going to tell him something earth-shattering or some kind of top-secret but here....it was back to the gutter soup.

[Gutter soup!!!!!!! Seriously Severus. I know you hate that soup but at least don't name it as gutter soup. Someone prepared that medicinal bowl of soup for you and what you did? You insulted them. Instead of thanking them or being humble, you just insulted them at their face. Sigh!!!!!!!! Where are your manners, Severus?] Noworry chided.

The more noworry spoke, the ugly Severus expressions became.

"I will never be thankful to someone who wants to kill me"

Noworry choked.

[Wha...t... What did you say? Kill? Who wants to kill you? Who dares to lay a finger on you when I, the great Raven is protecting you? Tell me, I will burn them alive.] Noworry said through gritted teeth.

Noworry was a character who was extremely loyal and devoted to his friends and dear ones. Although he was an arrogant bird, it didn't mean that he was cruel.

"That gutter soup was a poison"

Bam!!!!!

Another shock.

Noworry thought that today he really might get a mini heart attack.

[What are you saying? Are you out of your mind? If it really was a poison, then why did you drink it? Or perhaps you are joking. If you are really joking, then let me tell you that I am in no mood to joke around. DO YOU HEAR ME?]

"I am not joking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

FOR YOUR KIND INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Listen first and then speak. That gutter soup wasn't a gutter soup in reality but was an herbal soup"

Noworry [....]

[Why was the smell so horrible then?]

"Aren't the herbal soup meant to be bitter and pungent in smell?" Severus asked sarcastically.

[Well not all herbal soup is bitter and pungent, and even if they are, why the hell did you throw a tantrum then if it was an herbal soup? Can't you drink something that is beneficial for your body? Even if it smells or is bitter, still it will help your body in the long run] Noworry ranted like crazy.

The memory of that day was still etched in Noworyy's mind. That day Severus behaved like a 3-year-old kid. No matter how much he persuaded he didn't drink that cup of soup but when he thought of giving up in his persuasion, just then he picked up the bowl and emptied it in big gulps. The expressions which Severus made while drinking it were hilarious. It looked as if he ate a fly.

"How do you know that it was an herbal soup?"

Noworry was flabbergasted by Severus' question. He couldn't help but curse himAre u kidding me? You just said it was an herbal soup]

"It's true that it is herbal soup but it isn't beneficial for me. For me, that bowl of soup was a bowl of poison."

Bam!!!!!!!

Another shock

[What did you say?]

"Poison"

Noworry asked in disbelief.

"The herb which was used to make that soup is known as Icetra", Severus replied coolly.

[Icetra.!!!!!!!!! Umm this herb. I think I have heard this name before.]

"I don't know if you have heard it or not but as far as I know, Icetra is not something which a mortal can consume."

Noworry was stunned on the spot. What did Severus mean by can't be consumed by mortals? Wasn't Severus a mortal? What the heck was with this poison and Icetra? His mind was swirling with various questions and different theories.

[Are we playing riddles? Tell me clearly what you mean by that?]

"Icetra is an herb that can't be consumed by mortals nor can it be grown by a mortal. Only some peoples who have fragments of the divine soul can cultivate that herb. This herb is actually used for increasing the power and can only be consumed when it is served with the blood of a person who has died due to a heart attack. It's actually a cruel practice to increase your strength but in this power-hungry world, people do anything to achieve their goals. Although you can't consume it raw but with adding the blood of the deceased person it is somehow consumable however risks are high"
