Iagano reached up without looking away from his desk. He took the paper and skimmed it quickly.
"Are all the preparations for the summoning finished?" he asked, already grabbing a pen.
He started writing fast on another sheet.
Kagano nodded firmly. "Yes, Leader. Everything's ready. I've gathered all the materials we'll need for the ritual."
"Good job!" Iagano said with a quick smile. He finished writing and held out the new paper.
"Here. Don't get our core members involved in the incident. Send only the human followers we've recruited."
Kagano took the list and scanned the names. He let out a long, tired sigh.
"Leader... are you really sure about Julius?" His voice dripped with doubt.
