A Room full of Sparks

Ning walked into the dining hall where everyone was gathered to say their goodbyes. They were all planning on returning to their home, no longer able to work on their experiments anymore.

A few people turned their heads and saw Ning walking in. Not many knew him but the woman from yesterday recognized him.

"Why are you here?" she asked. "Is there a problem?" 

"There is," Ning said. "I heard that you are all trying to leave. Is that true?"

"It is," the woman said. "Since we won't get to use any more Spark for ourselves, we have nothing to do here. We will take what we've made here back to our place and continue our experiments there. Hopefully, all of it won't be a waste."

"No," Ning said. "You're not doing that."

He turned around and began walking. "Where is your storage area? Take me there."

Wultz quickly followed Ning, unsure what he really wanted. The woman followed him as well, and so did a couple of the other scholars.
