((you might want to wait before you go ahead and just summon something you know nothing about. Also for a summon of this level, sacrifices are needed))
Bartimaeus gives Alucard a suggestion....though he shudders when he describes it, and regrets mentioning it as soon as the name slipped his tounge. Aphestadil. The arbiter of Lolgrammoth, the second most powerful entity of that domain. Some argue strongest. The curse that she brings has won more battles, has razed more strongholds and has destroyed more lives than the entire rest of the domain combined. She is an incredibly out of place entity, as she does not represent speed, restlessness or anything of the sort. Aphestadil is the bringer of deadly procrastination. Depending on the severity of the curse, and how well it is placed, she can make you be late to an appointment, or completely make you too lazy to do anything against starvation. It is maybe that contrast alone as to why she is part of this domain, as conflict and arguements, things not fitting together nand finding no harmony is the core of this domain. Not only can she throw you deadly neglect of your activities through sheer apathy, she is the only of the uncreated that can - even if only to a small extend - manipulate time, so strong is her ability to slow things down. Many have summoned her simply as a convenient method to get rid of a rival during important contests. That precise use of her power could bring down entire nations is something most people have not considered. Or if they have, then the influence was so subtle, that nobody could have identified it. Bartimaeus is more than hesistant to involve such an entity in this fight.
"Yes. But it's okay. How is the shield doing?"
