It is the ultimate invocation and once cast, nothing will be able to stop you. You will soon have the item that your father did not possess which led directly to his downfall, and once in…

I shake my head, ready to fight, but when I see who it is, I hesitate, a nervous fear consuming me. “Flich,” I gasp. Flich stares down at me, his expression unreadable. Inside, I instantly worry.
