章 345: Crow and Dove

The first page of the ancient looking book Zagan held in his hands had an old black and white drawing of two birds circling toward each other in the air. The two birds—one black and one white—looked as if they were preparing to fight.

It was elegant, Zagan thought, this moment that was depicted before the first draw of blood that would inevitably break the black and white spell with its garish splash of red. The inscription "Crow & Dove" was the only other thing on the page.

It appeared as if Nelo had given him the wrong book, which would be a huge inconvenience. Zagan was willing to go back to Gray Vale if he had to in order to retrieve the right information when it was regarding something as crucial as this, but it was certainly not ideal. He gritted his teeth, drawing blood from his own lip with one of his fangs.
