When Elias returned to the Maze, he didn't appear in a flash of light or with a grand entrance.
One of the doors opened up and he was simply there—walking down one of the mirrored corridors, quiet as breath, as if he'd never left at all.
To any watching from above—particularly those staring at the floating magic circle clusters—he had simply vanished… and reappeared.
Only now his circle registered slightly differently.
Still green.
No one knew what that meant.
Except Dean Godsthorn, who simply sat with arms folded, smiling softly to himself. The other Deans spared Dean Godsthorn a few glances but they soon found out he wasn't willing to look back at them or even ask why they were staring at him.
He most likely knew they had questions for him concerning Elias and he had no plans to answer their questions. However, when the man noticed some of the other people couldn't stop staring, he sighed and spoke up. "I can't reveal anything and even if I can, I wouldn't."
