A Talk with a Transcendent

Gale asked around for Agnes in several places, but no one seemed to have any news of her. It was as if she had vanished without a trace. Even more troubling was that no one knew anything about her enigmatic, transcendent master either.

In the end, Gale decided to take matters into his own hands, scouring the secret camp in hopes of finding a clue. He wandered the area for what felt like hours, loitering around quietly, trying to blend into the surroundings as best as he could.

It was sometime during his aimless search that a figure suddenly swooped down from the sky, landing unsteadily before him.

"What are you doing?" Agnes asked, her voice laced with a mix of amusement and warning.

Gale glanced up, shrugging nonchalantly. "Just a bit of natural sneaking around."

"You can't do that, you know," she said, the amusement fading as her voice hardened. "You cannot sneak around the residence of a transcendent ranker."
