New Information.

Looking at Cassandra, Loki almost instantly realised that she had used his theft magic since the wand gave him a slightly familiar feeling.

'So she did whatever she had to do?'

'Will she tell me about Elane then? Or will she still keep it hidden?'

Walburga and Cassandra spent some time talking to each other in close quarters while Loki distracted the children with his strange stories about a land far far away where the people lived in almost complete darkness, trying to survive by eating the demons they slew.

It was a little scary for all the children but that was only until Loki introduced the main character of the struggle who could bring light and could become the Sun for all.

'Praise the little Sun!' Loki cheered.

Eventually, however, Walburga called Loki inside for a few minutes abruptly, much to the disappointment of the children who were invested in learning more about the character called Mr. Error who helped 'Little Sun' by making him stronger.

"What do you think?" Walburga asked softly as she sat back down beside Cassandra.

Loki frowned.

'What do you mean what do I think?'

'What are you asking me abou-'

'Is this some sort of weird test?'

'No grandma wouldn't try to test me in such a roundabout way, she'd probably say it as it is.'

'So something she can't directly talk about?'

''Adam'?'

'Hmm…? But what about him?'

'The Order of Phoenix?'

'And Aunt Cassandra seemed to be working for Grindelwald…so something Grindelwald and 'Adam' are working together on?'

'I see…if that's the case they likely want Mr. Error's support.'

'I can just tell them that I'll talk to Mr. Error about it.'

Walburga knew about Mr. Error from Loki helping her rid the parasite leeching off her and Cassandra from when he handed over Mr. Error's gospel to her since he promised he'd be showing her his Beyonder abilities once he reached Sequence 4 and became a demigod.

Loki didn't trust Cassandra too much to show her his Beyonder abilities and didn't want to reveal his pathway to her since that would just be careless since he knew she was in someway shape or form related to Grindelwald and by extension Dumbledore.

So what he did was simple, all he did was convince Cassandra that he was still a Darkness pathway Beyonder, but in actuality, he was the blessed of an Evil god and could show her the spells he had blessed her with.

He showed her those spells and passed them onto her the gospel so that she could use them herself, which seemed to have satisfied her.

Loki was about to open his mouth to speak but he froze mid way when his eyes spotted Cassandra's hands quiver as Walburga held them tight.

'...oh, I see…it's also about Elane.'

'Aunt Cassandra probably divined that it would be much better to break the 'news' about Elane while she was with Walburga. Or Grandma probably convinced her to do so because she knows just how protective of her I am.'

'....I guess they still haven't realised that I already protected Elane by giving her a locket parasitised by one of my worms of time…'

'Nothing can get close to her without me noticing it anymore…and for a limit time, I'm sure I can use the Sequence 3 Mentor Of Deceit characteristics to attack anyone that gets close to her by deceiving the position of my attacks so that they emerge at her location directly.'

'...I just have to figure out how to take care of the side effects of the Sequence 3 Mystical item…since the darn thing always keeps deceiving me into thinking it doesn't exist!'

'Hehe~ Let's give them a hearty scare!'

Loki's gaze finally fixed on Cassandra as he spoke in an even tone.

"I already know, probably more than you do. If possible I'd like to know what Grindelwald has planned, maybe even Dumbledore if possible."

Cassandra's mouth hung slightly loose and Walburga froze in place.

"You can't take those names so casually!!!!"

Loki shook his head.

"Don't worry about that."

Loki had actually figured out a simple way to use the true names of anyone he wanted to without letting the person they referred to know anything about it.

After Loki had gotten to being able to seeing his own spirit body threads he realised on accident while using Voldemort's name that each time he spoke the name his spirit body thread would nearly almost cause a fixed ripple.

As such, as long as he made sure to dampen that one thing he could take Voldemort's name without 'Him' even ever realising that 'His' name was spoken.

And Loki found that the idea could be extended to Dumbledore.

He'd done all the testing in the Sefirah Castle first and then inside a space sealed by Salazar before using it anywhere outside.

Loki savoured the expression that Walburga and Cassandra were making before restating his question just for the giggles.

"So what are Grindelwald and Dumbledore planning? I know Dumbledore is trying to perform his advancement ritual, but do you know of the details? Perhaps the timeline of his advancement?"

Blood drained from both Walburga and Cassandra's faces as they realised that they weren't dreaming and that Loki had actually named 'Him', not that dreaming about 'Him' would be any better.

Loki stood there for what felt like a full minute before Cassandra and Walburga seemed to come back to themselves after they realised that nothing was happening.

Dumbledore had not suddenly appeared near them to capture them or turn Loki into 'His' loyal follower as he had done with Cassandra's daughter or do something even worse than they could imagine.

Loki was simply standing in front of them like it was a casual Tuesday.

Cassandra and Walburga looked at each other, *gulping* audibly before Walburga gathered herself and spoke calmly.

"You can do this because of 'His' help I assume? Mr. Error?"

Loki nodded, 'I mean it isn't really wrong right? I am Mr. Error? So me being able to do all this because of Mr. Error is the same as me doing it because I can?'

'Hehe~ the look on their faces is priceless! I should show Sirius Walburga's face later…in secret.'

"So? Do you know when he'll perform his advancement ritual?" Loki was using the term advancement ritual on purpose. He didn't know if Walburga and Cassandra knew about the apotheosis ritual and as such Loki was playing it by the ear.

"At the 'end of this year'. Both of 'Them' are going to perform their advancement rituals together at the end of the Hogwarts academic year." Cassandra immediately replied after she had calmed down.

"I see…" Loki frowned in thought.

'This year?'

'That's too quick…'

'Isn't it?'

'Is Dumbledore planning to advance to Sequence 0 by making Harry fight Voldemort at just Sequence 3? But even the Sequence 1 Author ritual required one to predict the flow of times quite accurately...what would the Sequence 0 apotheosis ritual involve?'

'And what about Grindelwald?'

As if reading his thoughts, Cassandra continued speaking-

"I know the advancement ritual of my master because I've seen the blasphemy card for the White Tower pathway several times."

Loki's frown vanished and he looked at Cassandra with full focus.

'She's seen the card of blasphemy for the White Tower pathway? So Grindelwald has the White Tower pathway card? Why didn't Prenelle ever take it from him? Shouldn't she have the higher authority in the pathway? Or did they leave it with him for a reason?'

'Did Prenelle foresee something?'

'A prophetic vision?'

"What's the ritual?" Loki asked calmly.

"Give meaningful advice to a High Sequence Beyonder such that the flow of times is impacted meaningfully. The higher the better." Cassandra repeated, seemingly word by word straight from the Card of Blasphemy.

Loki frowned but didn't speak another word.

'Something feels off about all of this…'

'Why wait for so long to perform the advancement ritual? I mean Dumbledore surely could be higher in Sequnece than Prenelle and Nicholas since they are both only Sequence 2 Angels while Dumbledore is probably Sequence 1, but…something stinks…'

'Why does he need to involve Mr. Error in all this by preparing to hurt Elane? Why does he need me?'

But before Loki could speak again, Cassandra spoke faster, "I want to destroy 'Their' advancement rituals. 'They' cannot be allowed to gain power! Under no condition!!!"
