She flips open the book to the back page, Appendix A, where she finds the faint outline of the Serpentime, spiraling outward.
On top is an overlay of the planets and their trajectories. There is a harsh red line at a certain point through each trajectory, labeled with the term “Agweldt Alignment. Do Ceremony NOW!” Along the trajectories are faded spheres for all of the planet’s locations, except Mercury.
That planet is in full color.

Seven more to go.

“Who’s next!”
Uh oh. She started in the middle of the line! Which way should she go next?!
Since Mercury came first, maybe she’s working away from the sun, so Venus would be next. Or it could be something completely different; it’s hard to predict a pattern based on a sample size of one. Plus, unless I’ve forgotten something, Rubi didn’t actually choose where to start, she just reacted when the snek showed up. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
Wouldn’t it be eight more to go (assuming pluto is still considered a planet in the Rubiverse)?
Earth probably isn’t counted, so 7 more.
