Grand King Daemonikai stopped himself, studying the Oracle's expression. The regret in her eyes was answer enough. "Let me guess. You cannot tell me." The last shred of hope slipped from his grasp.

The Oracle's grip tightened on her staff. "I'm afraid this is something you must figure out on your own, Great Grand King." Daemonikai's lips pressed into a thin line, his frustration showing. Ahead, Emeriel grabbed Ackcira from behind, catching her off guard and sending her basket flying, its contents scattering across the grass.

Aekeira let out a startled yelp that quickly melted into full-

if one is willing to lose something of great value in return. It is either dark magic or magical artifacts."

Daemonikai's heart sank.

"This will crush Vladya," he told her. "He was so hopeful..."

The Oracle wavered. "There is a ritual I can attempt."
