Acceptance of the dark stone

Cillian could understand Julie's thoughts, because most of the witches had gone through it. He stated, "No creature that walks on these lands is pure, who escapes darkness."

A sigh escaped from Julie's lips, "What do you propose for a sacrifice?" An uncomfortable feeling coming to settle in her stomach. 

"An animal should do. One which is healthy," replied the Corvin.  With time being scarce, Cillian said to Roman, "I will go and get the sacrificial animal, and you can set the pentagons and the fire with Julie." 

Julie noticed how the ghosts had slowly started to move from their initial spots and started dispersing through the land in different directions, and if they didn't do it fast, the ghosts would enter the habitat of the living people. She didn't know that to be a full-fledged witch, she would voluntarily have to kill an innocent creature.
