42 In the first step, Paulo has to break his pact with the darkness, a pact which is a
promise to abandon his dreams p. 111. In order to accept forgiveness, Paulo has to do a ritual called The Ritual That Demolishes Rituals, and make a bet, as the
last process.
a. Break a Pact
The first step is conducted in the abandoned gold mine p. 95. Paulo and Chris come to meet the Valkyries and they go deeper into the gold mine. After ten
minutes walk, they stop and Valhalla starts the procession. She asks Paulo to break his pact with defeat, which is about destroying what he loved most p. 96.
On the beginning, Paulo does not confess that he has a pact, a pact which makes him raised his hands on himself, a kind of self-betrayal p. 114. But, Valhalla
insists that he has to mention and remember his pact with the darkness. Paulo finally tells the story about his pact. Then, Valhalla continues with the ritual, she
helps Paulo to break the pact with forgiveness. Paulo has tell the truth and the truth gives him freedom p. 114.
b. Accepting Forgiveness
In the second step, Valhalla asks Paulo to come in the Golden Canyon to make him accept the forgiveness through The Ritual That Demolishes Rituals,
which would be conducted using hatred p. 138. ―…what is the Ritual That Demolishes Rituals?‖
―Since a magus is unable to change the magus. It‘s kind of Sacred Theater in which the magus has to play a different character.
‖ p. 141
43 This is a sacred moment in the life of a magus p. 148. Paulo and Rotha,
the youngest Valkyries, make a trade in the second ritual. Paulo asks her to teach him how to see his angel while Rotha insists that Paulo should tell her the rules of
victory. There are five rules of victory, first is the morality rule, second is the weather rule, third is the space rule, fourth is the choice rule, and the strategy rule
is the last rule of victory p. 149. The secret of this ritual is hatred and in this process, Paulo feels his hatred emerges. Paulo, then, recalls that he has always
been wrong and he has always forgiven —not because he is a good person, but
because he is a coward p. 152. He realises that he, too, should learn how to forgive others in return, just as he is always forgiven p. 154.
