"So, after my mother approached me, and I expressed interest in joining Exalt, a few days after that, I met with some of their members. I did consider arresting them on the spot for interrogation, but after seeing how fanatically dedicated they were to their cause, I surmised that they'd be unlikely to talk.
I figured I needed to get more information one way or another, especially on how many of them there were and exactly who was involved. So, I played along and joined them, and not long after that, they brought me to their hideout. The location...is inside the Quartz Ruins."
"Wait, what? Did the Inquisitors not search that place?" Frowned Aster in disbelief.
"No...it was ruled out as a likely possibility and set as a low priority to search in, since there are so many Monsters down there, not to mention how old and decrepit the place is, so we concluded that they were unlikely to be there," Admitted Siele sheepishly.
