At the entrance leading to the Forbidden Forest, Emery's senses flared and he could feel eyes watching him. He followed his senses and approached the bushes. There, he saw a man standing watching him
It turned out the man was one of the villagers that was merely assigned to check and report any news about him or any changes to the stone formation. Apparently, Chief Brennus was concerned that Emery was gone without any news.
Emery told the man he was alright and he would visit the village when he could. At the moment he was occupied in trying out his new spell.
When he was ready, he once again tried to spread the power of his spirit force to his surroundings.
From his time in the academy, he had learned about the use of spirit reading. Though he was not very talented in using the spirit force to move items or enchant minds, he could feel that his ability to probe and detect things in his surroundings had increased significantly.
