Elias knew the reason he had been created by his master, and as he returned to his room, he was grateful that he did not see any of his teachers along the way. At this time, he wanted to be alone and slowly think about what was happening.
Commander Yseult had told him that the best time for the Great Houses to have stopped the plan was at the moment the Void Echo had descended, and she was right.
What Elias could not have known was that at the moment he crushed the Void Echo, a beam of power that was invisible to the naked eye but was clearly perceived by Commander Yseult, had erupted into the space, following the path that the Void Echo had used in its descent.
Soon this beam of power disappeared, but the connection that it had created with Elias and the Void was permanent, and because Elias was an Ascendant Candidate with three more Incursions ahead of him, the connection he had with the Void was far stronger than usual.
