John made his way into the town and up the pathway leading to the coliseum, while Iris followed closely behind. After standing there in stunned silence for some time, the other youths all rushed forward towards the coliseum as well, not wanting to miss a single moment of what was to come.
John quickly arrived before the coliseum and entered it. The arena came into view, as well as Alderen who still sat calmly on the central platform on the arena. Sensing the newcomers, Alderen's eyes opened slowly, locking onto Johns.
His eyes opened wide in surprise, as he had not been expecting to see John again.
"How…how are you here?" Alderen asked, unable to comprehend how John was the first to return. After turning everyone against John, Alderen had calmly watched as John attacked Vildren and took him to fight outside the coliseum.
