Taking advantage of the time today, Shard and Lecia went out together, with their first stop being Old John's pawnshop. Not only did he spend over 100 gold pounds to order a sufficiently strong alchemical crossbow from the old man, but he also purchased materials needed for the "Water of Moonlight" and "Sunfire" rituals.
Although it might be cheaper to buy at Coldwater Port, Shard wasn't in the mood to wait.
He decided to set up the ritual in his attic, where the windows allowed both the noonday sunshine and moonlight to shine directly onto the ritual circle. Since the positions of moonlight and sunlight vary by season, to prevent himself from making a mistake, Shard went with Lecia to find Luviya.
The girl with purple eyes was skilled in astrology, and upon learning that Shard needed help, she took leave to follow him back to No. 6, Saint Delan Square.
