Due to the wild playing at the wedding celebration on Tuesday night, Shard practically did nothing this Wednesday. But by Thursday, it was time to resume handling the matters at hand.
After getting up early, he first used the manuscript pages he had to schedule an evening meeting with librarian Miss Danester. Then, he caught the energetic Mia, strolling around the house after breakfast, and despite her fierce struggle to stay in, took her with him to Huntington City.
Yesterday, Shard had already left a message for Sister Delphine at Midshire Fort, agreeing on the specific time to use the Magician's Escape Box.
He arrived at White Valley Vineyard half an hour earlier than the agreed nine o'clock. To prevent the Ancient God Statue from affecting the "escape ritual," he specifically left the cellar and arranged the ritual at the vineyard house.
