Tears from a moonflower, the essence of a mythical healing herb that only blooms under a full moon, and a fragment of the fabled Healing Crystal. All unique, all vague, all hard as hell to find any information about. I started my research on the moonflower since I had at least seen a drawing of it in one of my older books.

I called dozens of my fellow plant enthusiasts, and one man heard of a man who he said might know about the flower. It took a week to get his number, but it was a start. I left two voicemails and sent several emails. I contemplated asking for his address so I could send a letter, but didn’t want to come off as too crazy.

In an emergency situation, well, you don’t need to be faster than a shark, just faster than the person next to you. If something goes wrong, having another guard or two could be lifesaving.
