Mirage forced himself to calm down by taking multiple huge deep breaths. He also chose to suppress his hearing and ignored the angered roars coming deep inside the forest to his east.
Then, he remembered that Bella seemed to have flown off towards the east direction and he couldn't help but think to himself.
'Is she related to the changes inside the forest? There's just no way for that to happen, right?'
Mirage became solemn once again when he faced the direction towards the dark forest. His eyes flashed a trace of doubt before he shook his head in dismissal.
He decided to not waste his time in hesitation any longer thus he prepared himself to take proper rest and get a full recovery for tomorrow morning's possible upcoming fight.
Mirage sat in a lotus position and entered a meditative state by clearing his mind of distractions. His empty mind became emptier as time passed by and his perception of his environment slowly changed as well.
