In the early morning sun, a young man sat in the lotus position. His breathing matched the rhythmic chirping of the birds.
In his mind, Ikasa observed his still body, as if he was a separate entity. When he focused on his ears, the sounds in his surroundings amplified.
Not only were the louder sounds like the chirping of the birds clearer, but he could also hear the more subtle noises like the footsteps of ants marching to find their food.
'This is a new world. This is Sense Realm!'
He marveled at his newfound abilities. After indulging himself for a while, he decided to end his meditation.
Ikasa let go of a deep breath and gently opened his eyes. Feeling refreshed, he returned to Villa. The boisterous cacophony inside formed a stark contrast to the silent serenity of the grounds.
And obviously, these bustling noises were made by the Kids and their chaperone, Xin Ruo.
"What fox? Does your big brother know of this?"
