In the afternoon, in the warden's office, Aiden was tending to his work as usual.
Suddenly, he felt the grey mist before his eyes churning.
He realized that the Great Witch's token was pulling him into the summoning space, and at this moment, he could actively sever the magic power exchange with the token or distance himself from it to interrupt the summoning; however, his work at hand had just come to a pause, affording him the time and patience to see why Abigail was summoning him so abruptly.
Sure enough, Abigail's summoning space soon materialized before him once more: the room wrapped in grey mist, the long table, the pile of pumpkin lanterns, the high-backed armchairs, and the five Great Witches sitting on the chairs. This time, Vila and Habanis also had returned after a long absence to attend the gathering.
"Why the sudden summon, I'm still working," Aiden said offhandedly.
"..."
Silence ensued; no one responded.
