While Emery remained in closed-door training, the Gene Center of Utopia City received one of its regular patients.
She had visited the center many times over the past several years and every appointment had been handled personally by the head apothecarist.
Inside the private treatment chamber stood two women whose presence alone drew the eye.
Both were strikingly beautiful. Both had flowing blonde hair and carried a natural majesty that made ordinary people instinctively lower their gaze.
One possessed a graceful calm, the other carried a fiercer charm.
The graceful woman was Gweeneth of Earth. The other was Kayelin, the renowned Grand Magus apothecarist from a distant world.
Kayelin adjusted several floating instruments before gently pressing a crystal injector against Gwen's arm. A luminous serum entered her veins, spreading through her body while layers of scanning runes passed over her skin, measuring life force, blood vitality, and spiritual balance.
