Nate made his way from the library to the city's magical police headquarters, determined to gather everything he needed to take on the Brotherhood of Shadow. The magical police headquarters had some magical instruments that could help him in his quest, and he was eager to put his plan into action.

As he entered the police station, he was greeted by a familiar face - Detective Jackson, an old friend, and fellow monster hunter. "Nate, what brings you here?" the detective asked, a look of surprise on his face.

"I'm on the trail of the responsible for the recent mysterious disappearances," Nate replied, his voice serious. "And I think you may have some tools that can help me."

Detective Jackson nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "I have a few items that may be of use to you," he said, leading Nate to a locked room filled with various weapons and magical instruments. "Take what you need, and be careful out there."

Nate spent the next hour carefully selecting the tools he would need for his mission, including silver bullets, holy water, and a powerful amulet that would protect him from dark magic. He felt a sense of determination wash over him as he prepared for the journey ahead.

"Thanks for your help, Jackson," Nate said, as he made his way to the door. "I'll be sure to bring these items to good use."

"Be safe out there, Nate," Detective Jackson replied, his eyes filled with concern.

Nate nodded, a steely resolve in his eyes. He was determined to uncover the truth about the Brotherhood, and he was willing to do whatever it took to bring them to justice. With his magical instruments in hand, he stepped out into the city, ready to face whatever lay ahead.

As the days passed, Nate became more and more anxious. The thought of the ritual weighed heavily on his mind, and he couldn't shake the feeling that he was in over his head. Despite his fear, he was determined to see it through. He had been preparing for this moment for weeks, gathering the supplies he would need and honing his skills.

The day of the ritual finally arrived, and Nate set out into the city just as the sun began to set. He carried with him a small bag containing a variety of magical instruments and talismans, items that he hoped would help him in the task ahead. He made his way through the city's dark, rain-soaked streets, his mind focused on the abandoned cathedral that lay ahead.
