Zou Yi called out a few more times still not willing to accept the present circumstances. When calling out didn't work, he decided to cautiously look around.
He took small measured steps, with his body angled at the best position for retreating, defense, or a counterattack. Whichever proved more suitable at the moment.
However, all that preparation proved to be for naught. There was nothing but chilly white mist around him. With no direction or landmarks to work with, Zou Yi decided to walk forward in a straight line. If he zig-zagged around he may find himself moving in circles without knowing.
Thirty minutes went by and he was still walking with no end in sight, and no change experienced. The same silent white mist kept him company.
Outwardly he seemed calm and composed, but inwardly he was a bundle of nerves in worry for himself and his sister.
'What I'm I supposed to do here? Just walk around? Am I missing something?' wondered Zou Yi.
