A scene

The Alchemists' Guild of Acheron has an urgent order for a healing potion from the palace, and there is no time to brew it the usual way. The alchemist Nebet lays the ingredients out on the bench, the powdered root, the oil, the crushed blue beetles, and her partner, the sorcerer Rekhmire, passes his hands over them and murmurs a dense, careful formula. Nothing seems to happen. But when Nebet sets to work, the mixture takes and settles and clears in half the time it has ever taken before. The palace messenger does not wait long.
