The Ascension of Soren

After swiftly handling the last of the subordinates who had tried to block their path, Rosaline returned to where Vargus was waiting, her expression one of quiet satisfaction. However, as she neared him, a sudden shift in the atmosphere halted her in her tracks. She turned sharply, her senses alert to the faintest disturbances.

Vargus, too, had noticed the change. His eyes narrowed as he focused in the same direction as Rosaline, his warrior instincts finely tuned to the nuances of the underground energies. "This aura... this person is going to break through past grandmaster," he murmured, his voice low and filled with a mixture of respect and excitement. The prospect of encountering a being at the cusp of such a powerful transformation was rare, even for someone of his experience.
