  • 11 note: the story continues -- something reddish – ochre, hardly visible anymore. i spent many nights to restore the ancient, nearly destroyed writing, and then finally, i got it! it was the recipe of a potion made from pomegranate juice and other very obscure ingredients. you better not know what this was meant for, but after removing the more dubious and dangerous ingredients, a wonderful recipe for a recreating, healthy, yet aromatic and spicy potion remained!
