《Ringmaster's Ambition》Interlude 2: How Does He Know
Advertisement
I can't breathe right now. I'm scared. How... how does that monster know?
I've been monitoring him for the past three Arcanian year cycles. At first, I thought that he'd regressed into a mind of an infant, but his late-night escapades during the recent year have shown that everything that he was doing was probably a mere facade. He acted as if he was no different from an ordinary infant, but his experienced craftiness surfaced once more when he monitored the rooms and contents of his own home. I watched him from afar as I see through the walls of his own home for almost two years. As I was even about to report to the Chief Keeper that there seemed to be no trace of him having his past memories, that maybe the beast's mind could not handle the void caused by natural conception, he suddenly starts acting as if he was no longer the weak and lazy infant he was supposed to be. How could he act like a child for almost two years without revealing himself? Was he aware that he was being monitored?
Although, I eventually thought that this may be his natural curiosity for things; that his restlessness as a growing infant may have fueled this nightly residential exploration, the sudden thoughts in his head as he finally left his house for the first time made me shudder, finally confirming my greatest fear and worry.
'Hello, is anyone watching me or reading my mind right now? Notpil, if that is your name, are you watching right now? Yeah, I know your name! If that dream was actually really whats happening behind the scenes, then I'm aware of it!'
What prompted this!? Was he aware that he was being watched by the Keepers this whole time!? And the fact that he knows Notpil's name... Keepers would only reveal their true name within the Realm of Keepers, so if he knew of this fact, then that would mean that he was the outsider peering through that day the Lord Progenitor made his order! Lord Progenitor did mention that someone was spying, but he could not determine who. So it was this monster all along! I have to tell the Chief this instant! This may be a dereliction of my duty and sentence, but this is definitely critical information I have to share immediately.

I then initiated a [Realm Transfer] but my requests for a transfer had no response. What's supposed to be the problem?
"Look what decided to drop from the higher realms."
A sudden sarcastic comment jolted me to vigilance. Before I could react, I immediately lost all control of my bodily functions. My senses started to dull until all I could hear was an exchange between a man and a woman.
"Tyrian's [Celestial Detector] really works wonders. He really thought of everything when he decided to install a miniature one in almost all of his inventions"
"He did say that Celestials do provide a strange signal that is unique only to them. I'm amazed those beings high up haven't found out about this"
"Tyrian did say they are rather preoccupied with something at the moment. Something to do with an anomaly? Anyway, what did we catch this time?"
"Let me check... A Keeper, named Amonos"
"A Keeper? What are they doing way out here in the countryside? I thought they never leave their realm?"
"Don't ask me, we might as well bring this up with Tyrian later"
I then hear one of the two slowly approach me and pick me up while I was still in my frozen state.
"Well Amonos, seems to be your unlucky day today"
That was the last thing I heard. Then I completely lost consciousness.
