He produced a pristine white spirit bottle, which he placed in Jared’s hand. “We don’t have anything valuable here in Castenada Town. This has been passed down through my family for generations. They say it contains the blood of a water dragon. I want you to have it.”

Jared took the bottle, feeling a powerful, almost primal aura radiating from it the moment it touched his hand. There was something familiar about the aura, though its intensity caught him by surprise.
