A normally tranquil evening in the bowels of the College of Lioi was interrupted by the sound of a blasting wood, profanity, and screams echoed throughout the tree-school. Elven fire-marshals rushed towards the disturbance, as quickly as they could before the fire consumed the rest of their school. Upon arriving, the magicians did their best to quell and disrupt the elementals birthed in the ranging inferno. Moments later, a hurtling and screaming being rushed out of the fire. The marshals were just about to bind the fiery being, right before it burst in an explosion of water. There, panting in shock, was the bare form of Innara maah Tshaina.
"Oh what the hell did I mix?" Innara spoke. She looked around to see one of the fire-marshals rolling their eyes.
"We should've known." Another whispered right before he got back to containing the raging blaze. Innara huffed and quickly tapped her Domni ring. Specially crafted to act as a transporter for any Domni's personal items, Innara mainly used it to store her personal equipment. In just a flash, the white-haired elf was covered in her signature black cloak and purple scholastic robes.
"Innara." The deep voice of head fire-marshal Nikhoro came from behind the alchemist. Innara turned to see the elven male with his distinctive glare.
"Nikihoro." Innara responded. "It appears that my latest endeavor has decided it wants to follow the path of its predecessors."
"What is it this time? Will we be dealing with mad homuncului again or what about incarnated imps?" Nikihoro questioned.
"Oh please,Nikihoro." Innara responded. "Those only happened once and each several years apart."
"And yet I can still see them in my sleep. So what was it you had cooking this time Domni Alchemist?"
"Well. It was a study of transmutation that quite fascinated my mind." Innara began to explain. The pair moved farther away from the blazing door to allow more fire-marshals into the space.
"It was an Akantat mixture." Innara stopped as she looked at Nikihoro's face. The fire-marshal's eye was raised eyebrow.
"Yes. Yes. I know, that the dammed lizards are not to be trifled with, but these notes that I had managed to acquire were of the most excellent quality. They could've potentially revolutionize our plans against the gakijin and dwarvana-oro."
"Let me guess." Nikihoro interrupted. "They were lost in the fire?"
"Absolutely not. I had them specifically coated by Mojimata. Those things could probably survive the eruption of this entire college if it came down to it. But I shan't elaborate on that subject."
"Yeah, I don't wanna think about the college erupting." Nikihoro chimed in. Innara waved him off.
"In any case, I was doing all the steps that were written on the paper, but it seemed that I accidentally translated 'I,G,C,' and 'D' for 'H,F,B' and 'C' in those papers."
"Wait, how'd you figure that out?"
"I did it while I was burning. You know how my fire-proofing potion speeds up my thoughts. It helps bleed off that thermal energy and convert into my own." Innara happily explained. "But yes, it seems that instead of whatever normal concoction I would've gotten if I had done it to perfect, instead I received a geyser of blue-gas."
"Do you require aid?" Nikihoro questioned, concern on his face. Innara waved him off.
"No. I believe i'm fine." Innara told him. "Of course I was sputtering and cursing for a few moments, but in all honesty, I seemed to be quite well. That was until my concoction burst into flame, which caught fire on all the more flammable equipment, and now here we are."
Nikihoro nodded as he digested her story. "All right Innara, I heard enough. My elves and I will contain this mess, but you're lucky it wasn't Ishagojo this time around."
"Yes the boy is always doing his best to throw the book at me." Innara huffed. "Now anyways, let me go explain to my colleagues what mishap I had concocted this time."
Just as she was about to walk off, Innara heard Nikihoro speak.
"Quick question. Innara..."
