~ At the City of Empire ~
Today was the day Mheera would give the potion she created to Hannah. Hannah was already expecting her arrival.
She was excited to find out what kind of power the potion possessed. Mheera was the only one who could answer that.
Hannah decided to cancel all her appointments today since she would be waiting for Mheera. She didn't know the exact time Mheera would appear at her doorstep.
Mheera didn't even have a cell phone so she couldn't communicate with her. With that Hannah had decided to buy a cell phone for Mheera.
She went shopping yesterday. Aside from the cell phone, Hannah also bought clothes for Mheera. Her clothes were a little bit unique as if she came from an ancient time.
Mheera was also a pretty woman with her long wavy gray hair cascading down her waist. If she would doll up and put on some makeup, she could be mistaken as an entertainment artist because of her beauty.
Hannah would love to give her some female accessories and jewelry although she was not sure if Mheera would like them or not.
She wanted to be good to her since Mheera was the one helping her to go against Zhen-Zhen, whom she thought was a witch.
She was also confident that Mheera would be able to protect her from Zhen-Zhen's threat.
Hannah was putting all her gifts for Mheera in a paper bag when she heard the ringing of her doorbell.
She put the things down on her bed before standing up to check the person outside her door. She was hoping that it was Mheera.
Her wish was granted since Mheera was the one waiting outside the moment she opened the door.
"Hello, Hannah, I am finally here," Mheera's bright smile greeted Hannah.
Hannah hugged Mheera right away. She was so glad to finally see her.
"Please, come inside." Hannah invited her in.
She stepped to the side, letting Mheera enter as she guided her to the living room.
Hannah let her sit on the couch as she went to the kitchen to prepare some snacks for Mheera.
Meanwhile, Mheera peered at her surroundings. She could see that Hannah's house was much bigger compared to the house she was staying in for the past few days.
When Hannah came back, she was already holding a tray of food. She only prepared juice and sandwiches since she didn't know Mheera's preference in food.
When the two of them settled down, they started talking about the potion.
Mheera picked a small transparent glass from her pocket. It contained a purple substance inside. She handed the glass over to Hannah.
Hannah accepted it. She was examining the glass with utmost curiosity.
"What do you call this potion? What will happen to her once she drinks this?"
Mheera smiled at her meaningfully before answering Hannah. She didn't want to shock her by giving all the details so she just simplified her explanation.
"This potion is called Crystaline. Since you told me that she can control fire I created this potion to counter her power. Fire is vulnerable to water and ice."
"One drop of this potion was enough to absorb any fire element inside her body and seal them in a form of crystal."
"So what will happen to her after drinking this potion?" Hannah asked her, feeling a little bit confused.
"She will be frozen inside," Mheera said matter-of-factly.
Hannah's eyes widened in disbelief when she heard.
"Frozen? As in freezing like ice? Is that really possible? Will she die?"
"No, she will not die. She will just be frozen for an hour as the potion absorbs the fire elements inside her system and seals them. After this, she can no longer use her fire element power."
"But how can I expose her if she will no longer be able to use her power? I mean, I want to expose her to the Davis Family so that they will know she's a witch!"
Mheera fell silent for a moment. She was thinking about ways on how she could help Hannah with her goal.
It did not take long when she picked up another small transparent tube-like glass from her pocket. This time it contained a transparent liquid as if it was just ordinary water.
"Here, you can also use this mind control potion. Since she would be paralyzed and unconscious for an hour, you can control her mind and body using this potion. Before the Crystaline absorbs all her fire element power, let her use it in front of everyone."
Hannah's eyes sparkled with delight upon hearing that. She accepted the other potion with a wide smile on her face.
"But how can I control her mind?"
Mheera gave her a small crystal orb. It was smaller than a golf ball. "Here, you can whisper the things that you want her to do using this magical orb."
"Oh, this! Thanks, Mheera! This will be helpful!" Hannah was so happy knowing that she could expose Zhen-Zhen's power to the Davis Family.
'I can use this to make Grandpa Lu hate her.'
"Your problem will be solved now. I give you your weapons. Now, it's in your hands now on how to implement everything. Just make sure that she will not know you put something into her drink. Be careful with your actions." Mheera reminded Hannah.
Hannah bobbed her head frantically. "Yes, Ma'am! I will keep that in mind."
"Oh, one more question, Mheera. What if a wrong person accidentally drinks the Crystaline. What will happen?"
Mheera was taken aback when she heard that. If Hannah would commit a mistake, and someone took the potion instead of Zhen-Zhen, then that person's life would be put in great danger.
"Good question, Hannah. If an ordinary human accidentally drink this potion then he or she will be frozen in an hour. You already know what will happen. Imagine yourself being trapped in an icy place for an hour without any source of heat? You will eventually die."
"So Hannah, make sure that she is the one who will drink this potion, not other people."
Hannah suddenly became nervous about this. One mistake could cost someone else's life.
"Okay, Mheera, I understand."
Mheera started eating the snacks she prepared for her when Hannah remembered something.
"Mheera, I almost forgot. That Witch is pregnant. What will happen to her baby?"
Mheera almost dropped the glass of juice in her hand when she heard that. She massaged her temples, not giving her an answer yet.
"How many months?" She asked Hannah.
"I think her baby is still less than a month old," Hannah said, not sure about it.
Mheera heaved a deep sigh. She didn't know how she would tell this to Hannah.
"Do you wish for her baby to be killed?" Mheera asked Hannah.
Hannah became silent for a moment. She was having conflicting thoughts about this.
After a while, she answered Mheera.
"No. I don't… but is there a way her baby will not get affected by this potion?"
Mheera knitted her eyebrows into a frown. She couldn't understand Hannah. She wanted to chase out the woman but at the same time, she didn't want her and her baby to be killed.
'There are only two options here, either you want to stay good or bad. You can't be good and evil at the same time.' Mheera thought to herself.
