As the afternoon sun filtered through the canopy, Lira set up her worktable near the pool. She began crafting a new series of potions, blending her knowledge of plants, Kelpies, and water magic. Each vial of Essence of Flow required delicate handling: a drop of river water, a petal from the grounding apple, a trace of mushroom spores, and a hint of sunlight caught on a dew-laden leaf.
The Kelpies watched curiously, occasionally nudging ingredients with careful precision. One, smaller and playful, flicked a stream of water onto a petal, and Lira laughed at the accidental brilliance—the water enhanced the petal's magical properties, giving the potion a subtle shimmer of vitality.
"See?" she said to her companions. "Even mistakes can teach us something new."
