The Key
I finally managed to get in touch with Gakin. Apparently he knew of my quest, and I'm more than a little displeased at whoever told him, but I'll leave it be. After all, he gave me the key that I needed.

The ritual is correct, but instead of a coven of five warlocks, it should be performed by myself and four of the people I love most.

I almost hate to ask them to involve themselves in such an endeavor. I think the danger will be minimal, and mostly directed at me, but they are almost to the last servants of the light. How can I ask them to assist me in bringing a demon of my father's power into this realm? Even if it is for the purpose of saving him?

I...don't know what to do. It will be another few weeks before I can attempt the ritual again. I suppose I have some time to decide.

A torn sheet of paper is tucked into the book with the heading "Ritual Assistants" and the following written below in Meadhbh's slashing, angular print:
