After venturing into the forest, Ikem found himself surrounded by a sight he had never experienced before. This was his first time in the open like this, as his father had mainly focused on training him and providing occasional knowledge about the outside world. Now, witnessing it firsthand was a wonder for Ikem.
The two treants, also unfamiliar with traversing the forest, shared in the novelty of this experience. However, unlike Ikem, who openly gawked at everything with wide-eyed fascination, the two treants maintained their composure. Ikenga would have found it amusing if he had witnessed their behavior, as they mirrored his behavioral pattern.
The treants suddenly halted, observing Ikem as he walked toward a massive flower. Amusement played on their faces, sensing that flower was weirdly alive but still was of no threat to Ikem. They quietly watched, knowing there was no need to intervene.
