"I do think that she did what she believed was right, though it would've been alot easier to have placed Zargga's spirit inside the book, but I fear that my wounds and perhaps sudden death during the fight against Zargga made her feel fearfull with her just making sure that it wouldn't be easy for him to return" , Ipius says sounding rather saddened though the spell that he used couldn't be done without falling towards the darkside and it's magics. Hopefully Valena won't realise that yet as it might ruin his plans for her though once the ring is placed around her finger it's not like she can stop him from doing whatever he tells her. Sofar things seem to be going well and with the return of his journal they could starts to collect the items needed within the journal as Ipius would need them to ensure that  Zargga won't be able to return though she has no idea that it will actually mean that the Evil Wizard is able to return to this world once again.<br/><br/>With him being rather far away from her and the ritual spot his form does look rather dim though he didn't expect that as his soul should've been locked inside the book and linked to it just as he'd planned. I would mean that now he would be weak but each of the items getting into his possession  he would grow in strength while his spirit would shine more brightly. With none of the other items in his possession his magical powers are limited just like how dim his spirit it, the more items returned to him the greater his powers and the brighter he will be while he'll be able to move further away from Valena at the same time. The journal won't affect that but honestly he can't recall where the items have been placed so he will need to be able to consult it in order to get the locations of all the needed items. For now he moves a little bit back towards the ritual spot while doing his best not to look to confused or suprised that he isn't able to move away from the ritual location.<br/><br/>Looking at the girl from a distance he waits patiently for her to retrieve the journal with him trying to look as neutral as possible as too much excitement might just make her grow weary. " Yes that it's , has it passed the test of time?", he asks only to smile softly. "Great" , he adds hearing how most of it is still<b>legible. " In the start of the journal you should find a mention about a ring and a city, I can't recall the name of the city but I know the ring was taken there by Zargga back when he was still my student. I suspect that he might have infused the ring with part of his soul and if we're able to get it, we might be able to find the other piece of his soul. We might not directly find the item that my apprentice used but that would be fine as we atleast be able to find the pieces while it would reveal if his soul has been set free at the same time" , he explains kindly as that hopefully would be a plausible explanation though he'd still need to be able to get away from this spot or else he's in trouble as the ring won't have the same the effect on the wearer if he isn't close to it. Besides he corrupted a person ages ago, one that will snap out of it as soon as the ring is placed around the girl's finger with that person needing to be dealt with straightaway but once he's able to control Valena it would be a easy to solve problem.<br/>

Moving a little bit further away from the ritualsite the spirit looks a little bit confused at the girl. " I don't understand I though that my spirit would've been bound to the book so why can't I leave this place?", he asks clearly confused as this is a setback and one that he didn't expect. Could it be that his spell has went wrong, that his spirit hasn't been bound to the book or did Valena do something to distrupt that part of the spell. This is a mystery that Zargga would need to solve first as it could jeopardize his entire plan and he can't afford to any mess ups as it could peraps even ruin the spell to bring him back. Moving back towards the girl he stops just a few inches away from her. "What do you think, why is this happening?", he asks confused but he doesn't seem hostile, despite looking a little bit restless though any spirit that has been locked away for ages would look rather restless right now. The wizard does hope that they'll be able to solve it soon as perhaps the spell has made people aware that Zargga's spirit is roaming this would and in his current state he wouldn't be able to stop them if they are to try and lock him away once again so time is of the essence.</b>
