A tamer

The lead guard watched in barely concealed astonishment as the beast – Alex's so called mount – let out a cavernous yawn, toppled over, and vanished without a trace.

His jaw tightened as he resisted the urge to laugh out loud. The stranger and his mysterious mount had been peculiar enough, and now they just had to cause this comedic scene right after entering the city?

He stepped back, motioning for the other guards to stay alert. Then, ensuring no one was paying him undue attention, he walked over to an out of the way alley, raised his wrist mounted device, and spoke into it in a low tone.

"Subject of interest is confirmed to be a Tamer. How would you like me to proceed?"

The device crackled softly, as if picking up a signal, with static fizzing for a moment before a calm, authoritative voice answered.
