After all, hope is the last thing to lose, and I've got a few pocketfuls left, plenty to spare in fact.""I'm sure Astrix is still out there.  You know, it kind of reminds me of an adventure back in the Feywild, when we had to rescue a group of pixies who'd trapped themselves in a bubble of their own making. They were determined to create the biggest soap bubble the Feywild had ever seen. It was a marvelous, shimmering thing, like a giant iridescent pearl. But their ambition got the better of them, and before they knew it, they were floating inside their own creation, heading skyward with no control!"His laughter grows as he continues, "The bubble, carried by a mischievous wind, drifted right into the frostiest, most snow-capped mountaintops. When we finally found them, they were frozen stiff, mid-argument, suspended like insects in amber. Their faces were twisted in the most comical expressions of surprise and indignation. And the best part? They were still bickering in frozen whispers, completely oblivious to the absurdity of their situation. We had to chisel the bubble in two just to free them and, even then, the pixies still only cared to squabble about who had the biggest bubble wand."Jack twirls a lock of his hair around his finger. "You know, Zeth, I'm all for gambling, but betting my life on an unknown potion?" He hesitates while pondering the frozen potion, then slowly nods, "After all, what's a bit of adventure without a gamble or two? The riskier, the better, I say.  Worst case, we learn what not to drink next time.  Best case, it's not just some healing potion but an elixir of Polar Bear Strength. Imagine the arm-wrestling matches you'd win against the toughest warriors in the Dale!"</blockquote>
