With nothing else to do at Midshire Fort for the rest of the week, Shard dedicated the upcoming Friday and Saturday mornings entirely to preparing for the sealing ceremony.
Sister Delphine had provided the complete process of the ceremony, which Shard would procure the materials for from Coldwater Port, seeking assistance from Old John for the alchemical items. As for conducting the ceremony, it would be jointly assisted by Dorothy, Luviya, and Dr. Schneider, though its actual undertaking would likely have to wait until the following week.
With time to spare, Shard, aside from browsing the "Book of Pink" at home in an attempt to learn useful sorcery, also took Mia to visit the lighthouse outside Coldwater Port, paying a visit to Mr. Edmund of the "Guiding Light Hermitage" residing there.
