How's He So Lucky?

After leaving, Grey didn't see a need to head back to the ceremony, however, he couldn't leave like that as well. 

'I hate these things.' He couldn't help but complain. 

When he got back to the ceremony, the geniuses on the Sage Plane were still performing on the platform. He didn't say anything and sat down close to Alec who was still looking at him suspiciously. Alec sensible didn't speak of what happened nor did he ask why Grey suddenly disappeared. He noticed Grey wasn't the only one who disappeared, and that some of the Elders were gone as well. 

'Hey, what happened?' Void asked when Grey came back. 

He tried to follow them, but he was knocked back by the person who created the spatial tunnel that sucked Grey in. 

Grey told Void about everything that occurred after he disappeared. 

'Oh wow! The flame is gaining sentience? That's amazing!' Void exclaimed.
