The hollowdome, once a sanctuary of magical prowess and intellectual exchange, now quaked and convulsed with a violent energy that threatened to consume its very essence.
The guards, acting with urgency, ushered the audience out, their faces etched with a mix of confusion and concern as the tumult within the maze spilled over into the grand arena.
Amidst the chaotic evacuation, Ashfield, flanked by Yralissa, Vanuc, and Morana, recognized the gravity of the situation. Their collective gaze turned towards the maze, now a focal point of arcane turbulence that sought to breach the confines of the hollowdome, or maybe past the dome.
The urgency pressed upon them, leaving no room for contemplation. They had to act swiftly to contain the chaos energy before it engulfed the entire arena.
As the last of the students were guided to safety, Ashfield, drawing upon his seasoned understanding of magical forces, took charge.
