Silence was the only thing remaining as Phoenix's victory was declared. Broken by the system announcement of their victory after a few seconds. Spurring the audience back to life.
Confusion ran rampant as everyone tried to figure out what had just happened. One second, Eldrian had been somehow attacking the players in their ghost forms. The next, everything went white.
"Phoenix took the victory!" Oier announced with as much energy as possible. Trying to recover the flow that a commenter ought to have.
If he stayed shocked in silence, the audience would wonder what was going on. Even if he was stunned and didn't understand what happened, he had to say something. Even if it was only airing out his own uncertainties.
"Even I'm not sure what happened there in the end, and why the heck is Eldrian back in his guild's castle? And why is there a massive creator? Wait, where is the forest?"
Apologies for the long delay in releases. I am doing fine, just tired from work and all that. Hard to find the energy to write after a day wracking my brain on coding.
