章 190: Ritual Tonight

"What is taking him too long?" Derek grumbled for the nth time while looking out through the carriage window. 

After securing the requirement for the soul transfusion, Valerie sent out a message to Dorcas and informed her of his progress, so the witch agreed to send Rat Ear to receive it. 

"Calm down, Derek," Valerie said, appearing to be calm, but inwardly, he was a mess.

It was nothing short of a miracle when Issac turned up with Islinda's hair. He felt hope rise inside of him and soon he would be united with Islinda, even if she would be in another body. Valerie didn't mind, what mattered was her beautiful soul. 

At first, he had been suspicious of Issac since he worked quite fast and had assumed it would take him a few more days to make a decision. It seems he wasn't loyal to Aldric after all. Who in their right mind would be loyal to that demon anyway?
