Once upon a time in the land of Moniyan Empire, there were two mischievous young mages named Harith and Harley who studied in the Academy of Magic. They were best friends who loved experimenting with different potions and spells. Their mentor Aurora is a kind, amazing and talented mage. Also, she had a very nice body.
Boys being boys, Harith and Harley decided to concoct a potion that would magically strip away a person's clothing. In an old barn within the House of Vance, the two boys spent hours mixing different ingredients and casting spells until they finally succeeded in creating the potion.
As they were about to test their creation, an unsuspecting passerby, Harley's big brother, Fredrinn, walked in on them. With a raised brow, he confiscated the vial from Harith and examined it. The two boys gasped and cursed under their breaths. They were foolish enough to display the purpose of the potion—which was unveiling a person's garments upon spray. Fredrinn gave his little brother a disappointed look.
"What on earth is this?"
The two mages gulped in unison, panic visible on their faces. Harley hastily waved his hands in front of him. "Nothing, brother! Just something we'd like to learn from the grimoire!"
"It's nothing to worry about, sir," Harith added with shaky tone as he hid the picture of their mentor, Aurora behind him. "We're not actually gonna try it to someone. Right, Harley?"
Deciding not to listen to the rest of their yapping, Fredrinn pinched his brother's ear, scolded them for their mischievous antics and asked them to leave the barn. With their heads hung low, the two mages complied and left the scene.
But before Fredrinn could dispose of the potion, he sneakily took a sample into one of his pockets, thinking he could try the potion to someone he'd like to see naked. He would like to test the potion on Xavier, the apple of his eye, the cute priest of their town.
Fredrinn couldn't help the grin on his face as he imagined Xavier without all the white vestments covering his delicate physique and the little blush on his face due to embarrassment. That surely would be a sight to die for.
Later that evening, the two young mages secluded themselves in Harley's room, playing cards. As Harith and Harley reflected on their actions, the door burst open and Fredrinn appeared wearing nothing but his underwear, much to their surprise and amusement. The two boys' jaws dropped on the floor.
"Harley! Your stupid potion won't wear off. Return my clothes this instant!"
Harith and Harley burst into fits of laughter at the sight of Fredrinn in such a comical predicament. Fredrinn, embarrassed but trying to maintain his dignity, quickly grabbed a nearby blanket to cover himself.
After the initial shock wore off, Harley managed to compose himself and said, "Brother, what on earth were you thinking? Trying out the potion on yourself?"
Fredrinn, still red-faced, sheepishly admitted, "I was thinking of trying it to someone to see if it works. But guess what? I tripped and poured the whole thing on myself." He closed his eyes as the tormenting memory of shocked Xavier seeing him in his underwear haunted his mind. "I guess I got what I deserved."
Harith, wiping tears of laughter from his eyes, chimed in, "Well, at least now we know the potion works. We're such geniuses. Right, Harley?"
Despite the awkward situation, the three of them ended up sharing a good laugh together. Fredrinn learned his lesson about meddling with potions, and Harith and Harley realized the importance of being cautious with their magical experiments, as to prevent things like these from happening again—such as seeing his brother in nothing but his underwear. And Fredrinn, well, he never knew when the potion would wear off, he just wished his little brother could device a potion that could remove a person's memory so that he could have the guts to face Xavier again.
