Getting the materials for the ritual was one thing, and finding the other vampire participant was another.
It was only more difficult when it came to finding one that was extremely powerful—which was near impossible, since no one strong enough would risk their life on a ritual they didn't need.
Liora had offered huge sums of money and still no one came forward. The few that did were much weaker than the vampire guards she had already hired.
This continued for a while until Liora's impatience finally won. She called two of her vampire guards to her and offered them a proposition.
"Do you want to sleep with me?" she asked, satisfied that they were good looking enough—with bulging muscles—that they would have to suffice.
Since she couldn't find one very strong vampire, she figured doing it with two of them would more than make up for the gap.
