It has come to the time where I require your assistance once more. I have altered the serum of the White Claudia somewhat, and now I wish to use it once more on you, as you seemed to be one of the most affected of the subjects. However, this time I also require the use of your partner, and so I have sent her a similar letter. You will both come to my shop at noon today, and you will both inject the serum into yourselves. If my theory is correct, you should both enter the strange limbo that you mentioned the last time, but beyond that I'm afraid I simply don't know what will happen. Come at noon, and be prompt.
-S.M.
Odin could tell how interested in this serum the doctor was, simply due to the lack of insults or mockery in the letter. Mabuz was being serious, and so Odin would have to reflect that and do the same, this was not the time for games or messing around. It was time for another job, and Odin was looking forward to it. After reading the note, he would dress himself in his usual bar attire of a white shirt and black waistcoat, trousers and dress shoes. Once he was ready, he set out for Mabuz's shop, ready to arrive at noon on the dot.
As he arrived, he saw Nastasya there too, and they both wasted no time in entering the doctor's shop. He, too, was in no mood to wait around, instead directing them both to the underground room in the back, but he had removed the chair that had been there last time. Also, instead of entering along with the subjects, Mabuz handed Odin the serum and stayed outside the door, watching from a long window that allowed him to see everything that happened in the room. Holding the serum in his hand, Odin looked towards his partner, somewhat concerned as to what they would both end up discovering about one another over the course of this quest. The last time Odin had done this, just a few days ago, he had seen an angel of purity trying to remove all evil traces of the demon from him, including his magic, and his anger, everything that made Odin Odin. if that was what he saw, what could Nastasya have seen that would have her threaten the doctor with death? If they both entered this world, they would both see each other's deepest fears, and Odin wasn't sure he was ready. But, the pay was good, so Odin walked over to his partner, injected half the serum into her, and then did the same to himself with the other half.
"Well, here we go."
