Percival to Lucien

“Could we summon Melinda and Gerald? So that we could learn more about Trevor, and summon him to maybe see if he will tell us how he saved Joan? Then maybe we can try to save Daniel with his technique.”

"We can try? But they are dead. Can you talk to the dead? Or do they just lay there?

“One of the spells Polk taught us, allows us to summon the spirit of the dead, it can vary to how much the spirit is able to communicate to us, but it might be possible to get information from them. He warned us to never summon those we had been close to.”

Percival ponders a moment, “Or do you think the spirit of the Strega would be more helpful?”

Melinda. I don't trust the witches, and we got her killed.

"To Percival: Another idea, what if we could solve two problems. Counsel needs to hide, we need more magical knowledge and help for this. What if they portalled here, or we portalled there. We just share portal names. We can protect them. They can help us fix this.

“I already sent a message to Andre about that with the circles required. But I haven’t received a reply from him about it. Oh and I’m sorry I didn’t bring it up beforehand.

When Percival can get a moment with Lucien away from the others, “We might have to use the bells. It’s might be our only chance to kill off all the creatures in one fail swoop. Of course that depends on how far it can actually reach.”

"If it is, it might be a set up to draw out the bells. But it is worth putting on the table."
