Grandpa Thinker reread the letter that Theanore had sent him, and he sighed. Some sicknesses had no cure, and chronic coughing was one of them.
But how does he tell that to the nymph? She wanted everyone at her grotto to be happy and healthy. Maybe if he pursued the old legend... but it was just that, a legend.
He went to his bookcase and pulled out a book on herbs. Inside was the mythical Angel's Tear, an illustration with a description. It used to grow like a weed before he came here, but Hades stole it.
The description read:
Because God Eomis loved the people who lived on his continent, which he raised from the sea, he created the plant Angel's Tear. It can cure even the incurable, but there is a price.
Each plant ingested reduces the patient's lifespan by one year. Warning: Angel's Tear is only consumed as tea.
If not boiled, it has another name—The Reaper's Key.
