At the same time that Dart and Eck were meeting, Ethan and Shadow Elf remained in the abode of the High Priest, lost in deep contemplation over how to awaken Sherry from her slumbering state.
They had poured over countless books, documents chronicling almost every spell and ritual known to the Shadow clan.
Yet, despite their exhaustive search, a way to rouse Sherry remained elusive.
During this process, several elders of the Shadow clan had approached them, offering their advice.
However, the suggestions put forth by these elders proved to be futile, bearing no fruit in their desperate situation.
Ethan's frustration grew with each passing moment, culminating in a fit of rage.
In a sudden outburst, he hurled the books before him across the room, turning to Shadow Elf with a voice thick with emotion.
