The Alchemist of Ashwick. Content Warning.
Dr. Elara Voss was a name whispered with equal parts reverence and dread at Ashwick University. A biochemist with a mind sharper than a scalpel, she commanded the lecture hall with an intensity that silenced even the most rebellious students. Her classes on genetic engineering were legendary, not for their content but for the way her eyes gleamed when she spoke of "rewriting life’s code." To the faculty, she was a genius seeking tenure.
