As he waited for the end all The Gravemind could think was 'My sentence is extended once more.
As he was then blinded by light but no pain he could have sworn there should be pain.
And yet there was not just a dull emptiness in the pit of where his stomach should be and a voice.
Yes a voice saying a sort of prayer asking no begging for him.
"Well then" he stated.
"Perhaps I should answer" and with that he was gone.

There was a sudden flash. When it faded in its place was a big red lizard.
"Excellent job Ms. Zerbst. Now would you please finish the ritual?"
Said a balding professor by the name of Jean Colbert.
"Of course professor."
Was the swift reply of a redheaded girl presumably the one called Zerbst while everyone else clapped or complimented her.
Then the girl said a set of words causing runes to appear on its leg.
The professor then inscribed the runes in his notebook before saying
"You may step back now Ms. Zerbst."
To which she nodded and walked back into the crowd of students.
"Now I believe thats everyone."
Professor Colbert stated causing a sigh of relief from a strawberry blonde in the background when Ms. Zerbst said
"Not everyone professor Louise has yet to summon."
"Oh yes Ms. Valliere would you please come forward."
This resulted in the strawberry blonde now known as Louise to step forward.
Professor Colbert then said,
"Now would you please start the ritual Ms. Valliere?"
At this there were murmurs among the crowd which as one stepped back as Louise started by saying,
My familiar, that exists somewhere in this vast universe, I plead from my heart, answer my guidance, come forth, and appear!
Suddenly as if by bad luck there was an explosion so powerful that it covered the entire court in smoke and in some cases even more than that.
Then one of the other students a Curly Blonde haired boy with two buttons undone said,
"As always the zero manages to ruin everything"
Causing laughter as everyone who was still awake and standing to laugh.
Then as if to counter that statement an ominous shadow emerged from the center of the circle.
Setting off alarm bells in Professor Colbert's mind as he drew his staff while a student by the name of Tabitha whom had also sensed danger used her staff to clear away the cloud.
What they saw next chilled them to the bone.
There before Louise a creature beyond all description.
Then a student asked in fear
"W-what is that?"
It turned what was presumably its face and said
"I, I am a monument to all of your sins."
