The Chase

For a moment, the team channel descended into chaos as multiple voices chimed in.

"It's true! I don't know how he did it, but he jumped so high, then suddenly accelerated, flying right over our heads and heading down the mountain!"

The team members shouted what they had witnessed into the channel.

Frostflame's last shred of hope turned to ice. He turned to the only woman behind him and said, "Xandria, your guild's rogues are on the perimeter. Send them after him!"

"Oh," the woman replied indifferently, her black scarf covering her face as she twirled a dagger between her fingers.

Her lukewarm response nearly made Frostflame explode. What kind of answer is 'oh'? But he didn't dare lash out. This woman was not someone to be trifled with. Her name was Xandria, the leader of Nocturne Order Guild.
