Chapter One Hundred:
Reinhardt's Residence
It was a long time before I could answer his reasoning and he's right. It's no good if I go and disturb her in this hour, so I decided. "Fine. Tomorrow I'll go." I agreed.
"Good." Kieran answered. "Alright, I'll go back to my room and you shall too."
"Yes." I answered as I sigh.
"Are you sure you won't go?" Maury asked after Kieran was gone.
"I don't think I have a choice. Anyway, I--" what I was supposed to say was cut short when Wafi suddenly came. "Wafi!" I immediately went closer to him. "Where have you been?"
"Huh?" he surprisingly asked me.
"Don't bother to answer, just come with me."
"What?"
After a while…
"I want to know if I have anything available to summon a creature?" I seriously asked.
"What are you trying to summon?"
I don't know if I will tell him the truth but I don't have a choice. "Alright, I will tell you who I'm going to summon. It was 'The Joker'."
I don't know but something changed in Wafi's reaction after he heard what I said but it also disappeared immediately and his reaction also returned to normal. I don't know if I was just distracted or if I was really wrong. Anyway, whatever it is, it doesn't care at all. It's more important for me to know if he knows anything that can be used to call 'The Joker'.
"Fine." He answered. "I'll try to look for it but I won't promise anything. Because I'm not sure if I can find anyone who can summon a creature, so--"
"No." I cut him off. "I need it right now. As in now."
"What!" he surprisingly asked.
"Yes. I need that artifact now."
"But, Kanik. It's not that easy to find an artifact especially if I haven't tried to search the whole place so, it's very impossible to find or get someone to help you to summon the creature you want to encounter. I'm so sorry about that, Kanik."
I felt very annoyed and angry after I found out that it was so hard to find someone who could help me talk to 'The Joker'. And I hate to admit but I really need to find 'The Joker' no matter what it takes.
"What else can we do?" I seriously asked him. "Please, tell me!" I begged.
Wafi looks at me so seriously before he takes a deep breath and answered me. "We need to seek the help of an ancient Witch." He suggested.
"An ancient Witch? But it is difficult to find an ancient Witch today, how can that solve my problem?"
"I know. But let me think of it."
"Do you know anything?"
"My father." He answered. "He knows someone that came from the Cabot Tribe. And maybe, he can help you. Though…"
"You haven't seen him for a long time so it might be difficult for us to talk to him, right?"
"Yes, indeed." He agreed and deep sighed. "And I also don't know if he will face me when I show up to him."

The next day…
"Who can help me to check what is happening to me?" Siara asked me after our breakfast.
"She will be here soon." I replied. "So, let's wait for her, alright?"
"Fine. I'll wait."
Afterwards…
What I've been waiting for has finally arrived.
"I'm glad that you are here, Sybil." I said and she is the only daughter of Norward and even though she is a Vampire, the power and the ability of her mother as a Witch, was inherited to her that is why she can help Siara from her problem.
"Where is she?" she straightly asked.
"She's at the study room. Let's head there." I said that she just nodded as she followed me. "Love, here she is."
Siara turned around to see us. "You are?"
"I'm Sybil Sage the only daughter of Norward Sage. I am a half Vampire and half Witch but the powers and abilities of my mother I inherited it entirely. So, you don't have to worry I can help you out."
"Did Uncle Norward know about this?" she doubted as she asked.
"No, he isn't." Sybil answered.
"Why?" she asked.
"I don't think it is--"
"My father and I did not get along." Sybil suddenly cuts me off and answered it instead. "So, now, can we start?"
Siara and I look at each other before we both answered. "Yes, we can start."
Manu Clan
Keir's Residence
How many times did Wafi sigh as we stared at his house? I can't count how many times but it looks like Wafi isn't really ready to face his father yet. So, I don't what to force him further that is why I decided to go back home.
"Let's go." I spoke.
"Huh?!" he was surprised from what I said.
"Don't worry. We are not leaving to face your father but just to go home and then think of something else we can do." I explained.
"But you need to find this 'joker', right?"
"Yes. But maybe there's another way to talk to him so we'd better go back home," I said.
Wafi looks at me for a long time before he answered. "Alright, if that is what you want but I'll stay here for a while. You can go first."
"Why?"
"Well, at least from a distance I was able to see my father and that was enough for me."
"Fine. I'll go ahead." I said and he just nodded before I leave him alone.
…
"Where is Wafi?" Maury asked me as soon as I came home.
"He was left to see his father from a far."
"But he was unable to talk to his father for help?"
"No, he isn't." I answered as I deeply sighed. "And I think I really need to find another way to summon 'The Joker'."
"Are you sure you can find a way?"
"I'm not." I honestly answered as I deeply sighed.
