As Howl flew above the burning city, he spotted a small cottage standing amidst the ruins, inexplicably unscathed by the destruction. Intrigued, he thought to himself, "This must be the home of that powerful sorcerer who specializes in healing potions." Suffering from wounds from the intense battles against the other wizards under Madam Suliman's command, Howl saw this as an opportunity to obtain some much-needed healing potions.

With the cottage now in his sight, Howl began to descend towards it, his keen eyes taking in every detail of the quaint, yet unassuming structure. The cottage stood like an oasis amidst the ruined city, untouched by the chaos around it. As he got closer, he could see smoke curling from the chimney, a sign that the cottage was inhabited. He gently landed outside, his 'crow' or 'raven' form transforming back to his human form. Drawing in a deep breath, he approached the cottage's door.
