He had also called Draskil to inform him about the upcoming ceremony, but the dragonkin had already known as the news had gone viral through all the news streams across the multiverse. Jake just stayed out of it and let her take charge while she coordinated with the Verdant Witches on the Order side of things. Miranda would naturally also attend, and the agreement was that Jake would go fetch them in Haven the day of, with Miranda handling everything with who from Earth would come. Once was to check up on Vesperia and ask how she was doing, and the other was to talk to Meira about seeing Izil concerning the upcoming ceremony and a potential ring upgrade.ĭuring this time, he also cleared it with the King, Sylphie, and Sword Saint that they would all attend the ceremony. It had been about two weeks since he returned from his final shopping trip, and Jake had only left his lab twice during this time.

Can you call me shortly before she is here so I can finish up and get ready?” Jake yelled back as he kept working on his current concoction, still not wanting to give the mushrooms any reprieve from their righteous suffering. I finally got through to her,” he suddenly heard Meira’s voice from outside his lab, throwing him out of his incredibly productive thoughts. “Lord Thayne?
