Enemies everywhere

As the day came to an end, the trials were put on hold; the remaining ones would be held the following day. The witch had participated in all the tests, and Ares was curious to see how well he did. 

He retreated to his room and went through the answers the witch gave in the tests. His name was Sylas, and there was no doubt that he was a clever man. Yet Ares couldn't help but notice that some of his suggestions for solutions were extreme. Almost sadistic. 

Most of the other answers were brilliant. Even more impressive, he was good at discussing the flaws in his solution, which was exactly what Ares was looking for. Someone self-aware and analytic. 

As he continued to go through the papers, the door to his room creaked open. Nazneen peeked inside and then slowly stepped in. Ares had been so engrossed in his thoughts that he had almost forgotten it was night, and going to his room would imply he had gone to sleep.
