Potion and alchemical wing.

Bethany thought it would be best to go and get some potions, maybe some vials of Wilson’s elixir, a strong glue like substance. She walked the halls to the sounds of moaned and screams, she had knots in her stomach.

It was a good five minutes or so of running down the halls before she reached the causeway. The causeway had a number of enchantments on it normally but obviously if the Nexus was having issues they wouldn’t work. The enchantments which were normally in place allowed multiple locations to join to one location, it was sort of a very short hallway with entrances to every significant area of the school.

Without the enchantments, it was a hallway and a long one, with doors running off in different directions. As she entered the area Bethany started to hear low moans coming from around her, she slowly progressed, concerned that she was going to encounter something like another book. Instead she found something much worse.

She started to find students sort of glued to the wall with thick off white webbing, their clothes were shredded and hanging from them were bone encrusted worm like creatures with wings. Wolm. Beth thought to herself, What are wolm doing here? She continued down the hall, finding more and more victims of the wolm, there bon encrusted bodies sometimes glowing with the amount of magic they had consumed.

The Wolm were one of many magical creatures, but not like the things in fairytales. The Wolm were sort of leeches, flying bony leeches which fed off magic, they also injected chemicals into their victims to make them feel pleasure and put them in a dream like state. As she walked down the long hallway she saw men and women in a state of bliss, the parasites latched to them. Some were hanging from their stomach or neck, others from breasts, or genitals, during this short walk Beth saw more penises encased in wolm than she ever imagined she would. Each of the men were obviously aroused as the creature sucked magic from their body.

Thankfully, wolm were blind and with this many people around their sense of smell must be limited, as long as she was quiet she shouldn’t have a problem, at least that was Beth’s theory.

But something nagged at her, something bugged her as she walked the long hallway. It was several minutes before her mind caught up and she froze surrounded by half naked young men and women. If wolm attach to exposed flesh, what on earth shredded these people’s clothes for the wolm to attach to breasts and genitals? And did she want to hang around to find out?
