Even if she succeeds, it is only then that the horror truly begins. Mam's letter not only explained how I must sacrifice Alice; it revealed other aspects of the ritual. One requires the use of a living skelt. I have a strong sense of foreboding about the creature a images and references to it keep cropping up. And it bothers me that its head decorates the hilts of the sword and dagger.
I think about the task that faces us. If we fail, the Fiend will eventually win and a new age of darkness will begin.
Knowing nothing of the ritual and what it involves, my master is chiefly concerned with the whereabouts of the Doomdryte, the evil grimoire that we saw in Mistress Fresque's library. He is right to be worried. In the hands of our enemies, that book could be very dangerous indeed.
Despite all that's happened, I'm still a spook's apprentice a though I must start to think and behave like the Chipenden Spook. I must antic.i.p.ate the time when John Gregory will no longer be here a even to offer me advice.
Thomas J. Ward.
