Prelude: The Alchemist has been found

The Missing Pages

While on my travels, I carried around with me a journal of sorts, a diary, a collection of my thoughts. But during my venture into the Forests of Evil (named as such because a variety of potion ingredients found in these forests cause death and other such negative things), I was unfortunate enough to have lost my precious journal. To my relief, however, one of the pages has been found and was recently returned to me, so here I have put it away to peruse later. The first of many missing pages is this Prelude: The Alchemist, in which I had documented my thoughts on Alchemists and Alchemy in sum.

Now that the first of my pages has returned, perhaps the others will follow suit and come back to me as well. Therein lies a new hope in that thought.
