Laila's turning ritual was successful without any problems. Although there was always a chance of failure… of never coming out alive from such a ritual. But physical condition, personal beliefs, and mental fortitude gave a greater chance of survival. Eleanor had been confident about Laila's success, but she became slightly worried when the white light descended and Laila let out an ear-piercing cry.
This was the first time Eleanor had observed a turning ritual. Although she herself had been turned, it had happened under very different circumstances. At that time, she hadn't been thinking clearly. Whatever life presented in front of her, she simply accepted it… without questions, without resistance.
