‘Where did you get this book, you say?’ Sergey asked, clicking the scans.
‘An old woman sold it.’ Victoria was busy with her own business.
‘It’s a good book. I’m sure there’s only one version of it… Keep it in safe.’
‘Where did you get yours?’
‘My great-great grandmother left it.’
‘Are you a witch?’ Vic asked amazed.
‘A witcher. In the 6>th generation. I’m studying to be a witcher. You, on the contrary, seem to know nothing how the magical world is organized.’
‘I don’t conceal it. I’ve discovered this world since recently. Honesty I’m not still sure that it really exists. It’s too much unusual…’
‘You have lots of time to make sure that another world exists. You’ll understand that we are always observed. We have guardians, they guard us. Surely, you had such moments when you wanted to take a step on the road and in the nick of time you stepped back. There were good reasons why. A car rushed out of the corner at the last second and if you had taken that step, then there’d have been coronach at your home. We have those who misdirect us. Bogies, witches, pucks and water spirits, all of them are real. Why do you need Lucifer, by the way? What a dispute does he have to settle?’
‘Nothing. I just wanted to ask him for help.’
‘To ask Lucifer himself? I’m not sure he’ll want to interfere in the petty crime of the lowest level demons.’
‘What is he so busy with? Formalizing vacations and recalculating?’
Sergey looked at the girl and smiled.
‘If he were, people wouldn’t be so afraid of him. You can find an active ritual in the scans which I gave you. I don’t know if that ritual which you sent works…but you can try. But I advise to start from mine. If Lucifer doesn’t come, you’re doing something wrong.’
‘What if he doesn’t want to come, is it considered to be?’ the girl cautiously asked
‘Maybe it is…But there is no “he doesn’t want” in demonology. If you call, then a spirit must come. If you call in a wrong way, a spirit, probably, won’t come but it gets you’re calling him, anyway.’
‘Have you ever summoned Lucifer?’
‘No, I’m not so cocky and bold to come into a contact with Lucifer himself. It’s too dangerous. There’s also information how to tie a demon to. Be careful with that.’
‘Yeah, I’ve got it. May I get your phone number to connect with you if something goes wrong?’
‘Are you getting to be friends?’ Sergey smiled again.
‘Well…’ Vic was confused. ‘Yes, I think, I am.’
Of course, she would be against a friend-witcher when she almost got directly across to The Dark World.
They exchanged phone numbers and went out to on their own errands. Victoria was burning up the road home at rapid-fire pace. She wanted to tie Kharon to her. Then he was going to be near her, supporting and protecting. His face didn’t come out of her head. She was buried under devilish beauty press and weight. Vic didn’t know his personality and his soul if he had the one, she just saw his face and felt his touches. It was enough to bog down in marshy quagmire of love.
There was a cup of hot coffee. The midnight. Victoria was seeking for the needed spell and she found it on one of thousand pages. She needed next components: to draw a pentacle in a circle, five candles. She had to picture the demon’s seal, which was going to be tied to, in the pentacle centre. Then she had to depicted planetary symbols in the corner, begin with Uranus in the upper corner and against the clock there should be: Mars, Saturnus, Neptune and Pluto. That was all. And the last was to read the spell at every pentacle corner.
