"Been a long while since we've last seen you, Valyr."
After feeling like they've fully acclimated to the improvements they obtained from consuming their respective treasures, Valyr and Ataraxia began to make their way to the actual territory controlled by the latter's guild.
Of course, as it had been quite some time since the last time Ataraxia met up with the other members of his guild, the young man went ahead and sent a message to Thomas and the others, informing the group of his return.
At the same time, he informed them through message that he would be arriving at the guild with a special guest.
"Feels like you've gotten stronger than before," Thomas remarked, faintly whistling in admiration. "Did you ascend to Rank 5 yet?"
"Soon," replied Ataraxia, giving the group a slightly mysterious smile. "Once I finish tying up some loose ends here and there, only then will I proceed with the ascension."
