Blanketing the assembly hall after the chaos was this pin drop silence. The shadows had long receded, but the weight of what had just transpired still lingered in the air.
At first, no one even dared to move. All of them still left in uncertainty of what they had seen, the Students were now murmuring, soft whispers filling the vast room like the rustle of dry leaves.
Amongst the crowd of confused Students, Daria turned to Alexon. "What the Hell is happening. Why did Quade disguise to be Spheris? And what is going on with Spheris? Why would he do that?"
Alexon looked at her with wide eyes. "I... I don't know," his voice trembled. "That just wasn't like him at all."
Sapphire looked at the both of them with trembling eyes, not knowing what to say herself.
Back on the stage, the chosen Bearers stood frozen as eyes, staring at the spot where Spheris had vanished. Morrigan was still trembling violently, even though he was now free from Spheris's grasp.
