Formalities

Once the chaos of the battle had subsided, Karl realized that a significant amount of time had passed while they were inside the trials, and the night shift was about to start their rotation on the line.

It was strange to think that so much time had elapsed since the start of the trial, when the second group had only taken a few hours at the most, but the sun's position didn't lie.

Karl was waiting and watching, to ensure that the Hill Giants didn't try to push their luck and return, when a friendly hand patted him on the shoulder. 

"You can return to camp for dinner. The next shift is here. I think that the Administration Staff are going to want to talk to you as well after that incident with the trial. It appears that your team got some pretty serious rewards, and they are all excited." The soldier informed him.

Karl chuckled at the man's gift for understatement, and nodded his head.
