He vowed to set up the altar and perform the ritual for that extraordinary beauty, no matter what. For love! Once everything was arranged, Iskandar began to chant softly.
"O great Mother Goddess, you are the embodiment of the earth, the ancestor of all beings, you who show mercy to the world, you are the greatest deity."
"Your devotee, Iskandar, offers these sacrifices and prays to you."
After reciting the incantation, Iskandar took the mouse blood he had prepared and splashed it on the altar. Immediately, a strong scent of blood permeated the air. The candle flames flickered suddenly, and a light breeze arose over the altar.
"The wind is rising!"
Iskandar gazed at the altar with a dazed expression, his heart filled with immense excitement.
Although he didn't understand the principles behind the ritual, the fact that the wind arose on the altar clearly indicated that the peerless woman from his dream hadn't deceived him; setting up the altar indeed had an effect.
