#10 - Potion Ingredients

Arthur hoped he was on the right track. He looked at the scars near the bottoms of the trees, thinking maybe there was something there, and he frowned in disappointment when he realized that there wasn't anything there. He was more curious when he realized there was no bark on one of the trees, and touched it curiously to see what it felt like, eventually realizing there was no sap there, either.

He continued his search for sap, briefly stopping to check that he had a few jars to collect it in before examining the trees for sap that could be collected. Arthur was curious as to what exactly might want to make wounds in the trees, and he certainly had questions about why someone would remove all the bark. Maybe it was a misplaced spell by a younger year, or a magical creature that ate specifically bark.
