Challenge #312: Alchemy - Mercurial
Title: Mercurial
The priest held an ornate red-lacquered cup. "The heaviest gold! The finest crushed Cinnabar! This temple treasure will assure longevity for all who drink from it!" His hands were pinkened and peeling, and trembled terribly, spilling the liquid. "Drink, and share eternal wisdom and life with us!"
"Red is a warning," Hakkai murmured. Beside him, Gojyo smiled strangely.
"Red is just a color." Sanzo smacked Goku with the fan when he reached for the cup. "Anything can be poisonous."
Hakkai smiled and declined for them all. "It's beautiful, but no thank you. Our leader is already quite wise."
