Chapter 15 Dio’s Journal - Entry 160
Everything has been smoother since that girl left. I’m getting to know the guys, and they’ve been great. Other than being a little distracted about the girl, that is. Actually, it’s just Lent and Fem who seem distracted. Reem has really thrown himself into the band now that I’ve joined.
We have a concert scheduled soon, so we’ve been rehearsing at all hours. I may be good at what I do, but there is always an adjustment period when getting used to a new band. The others are still figuring out how to best accompany me, and that will take them some time yet.
We’ve also been practicing our group magic work.
At some point, we will need to summon that demon again, but for now, there is plenty the other guys can teach me about working as part of a coven.
I’m also teaching them more about some of the rare runes I know.
Even without the demon, we’ve been able to produce rain a couple of times.
Not much rain, just a few drops, but weather work is challenging.
It is an esoteric practice, and knowledge of magic is already rare enough.
Of course, it is also the ultimate goal, the tool to achieve our cause.
Next time we summon that demon, it will be helpful not to worry about being interrupted.
That way, we can spend the entire time focused on this critical work.
Despite myself, I can’t help but feel honored by the way he reacted to my tattoos.
Even though he was kind of an ass. Of course, it’s not like I’ve met many demons, so maybe they’re all like that?
I’ll talk with the guys about summoning him again after the concert and see what they think. The passage of time hangs over us like a blade poised at our throats. We need to make progress on our magic quickly if we’re to be ready on time.
