When the darkness dissipated, Aramith squinted as light shone in his eyes.
He opened his eyes to find himself in a large hall.
It was shrouded in dark grey and gold colors.
Lots of students were scattered inside, all turning to face Aramith.
But he didn't look at them. Instead, his mind went to Father Ilthane.
Right before his eyes, the man's appearance changed.
He didn't look as simple as he did back in the testing grounds.
His robes turned black and gold, shifting to more intricate designs, and his hair became long.
His dark skin made his appearance look more menacing and demanding of authority.
What surprised Aramith the most was how everyone in the room ignored Ilthane.
Instead, most of them were all quietly observing him as if he'd grown fur and was walking on all fours. Some of them even seemed to want to get closer, but didn't approach.
He had no idea that they didn't even see him and only noticed the energy from the spot.
