With his heart beating a little faster out of fear he'd gotten Gerald killed, Brent peered deep into the forest. Finally, he sensed a human presence, and it was only in that second he wondered if the nearby human was even Gerald. Then when he heard the name Benjamin, Brent couldn't help but grin. Yup. The nearby human was indeed Gerald. "It's me...Benjamin!" he called back. The branches parted and revealed Gerald, and apparently he'd heard Brent say he'd found the way out. "That I did. Come on. It's just this way," he said, remembering the flowers he'd left at the start of the path.

Brent guided Gerald back to the conjured flowers and down the pathway. As they walked, light filled the forest, and the temperature seemed to settle into something a lot less chilly. This had to be it! It was the way out! In the blink of an eye, he'd stepped out the forest and into a grassy area, and a sense of normalcy met him. "This is it, man! We made it out!" he said, turning to face Gerald. Only--... "Gerald! You okay, man?" Duuuuude! Was the challenge NOT over after all? Brent just stood there, eyes wide open, as Gerald changed more and more. It was like there was nothing he could do to help. In another blink of an eye, Gerald the human was Gerald the dummy, and Brent breathed a sigh of relief as he realized what had happened. Shame...he actually liked Gerald and was glad to see the older man make his way to safety.

He didn't have time to think about Gerald the dummy much longer. There was suddenly a Ministry official standing before him presenting him with a...rusty can? Not exactly the prize he'd been hoping for... Oh, wait...it was a portkey! "I'm done? I completed it?" he asked, grinning at the official. "Awesome!" He reached out an accepted the portkey and gave a quick "Thank you!" just as he touched the rusty can. Within moments, he was whisked away.
