"I still don't understand. Why Ciri? What's so special about her bloodline?"
Ella immediately raised her head toward Lenny.
"Everything, everything is special! You see, in only a few years, I turned Ciri from an acolyte to a senior witch and then to an elder witch. I did it so I could get my hands on them."
Lenny could suddenly guess what she meant.
"You wanted the invitation stone?" He asked.
Ella nodded. "Once more, you are catching up. But you got one thing wrong. It is not a need for the invitation stone, but a need for the invitation STONES.
Lenny Tales, You cannot even begin to imagine the kind of power that the invitation stones possess. I needed them.
But of course, creating them had to happen.
For the centuries of my life span, I have orchestrated one vile stage or the other—wars, diseases, you know, anything that could quicken their creation."
