The GobStompers (2)

Third Person's POV

Ethan was fascinated and watched as the parchment dissolved into shimmering sparkles, which ascended in a slow, mesmerizing dance.

The glowing fragments drifted upward until they merged with the surface of a large transparent blue crystal embedded in the ceiling of the guild hall.

A pulse of magical energy rippled outward signifying the completion of the process.

The atmosphere in the room changed instantly.

Velcy and Virelle stared in stunned silence and their faces were pale as they realized the full weight of what had just transpired.

It was too late.

Their team name had been permanently recorded in the official guild registry.

Even the usual silent and unexpressive Velcy was frozen in horror and could barely form words.

Meanwhile, Virelle was unable to accept the reality of the situation as she forced out a shaky question while her voice was laced with dread.
