Leon and Alpha Adam became close as if they had known each other for a long time, they even had a close relationship in a short time.
Earlier, when Leon was resting, he chose to take a walk around the Omorfos residence. His longing for home appeared instantly, so Leon felt guilty about it.
At that moment Alpha Adam came and invited him to chat, sharing stories about life experiences. As a leader, Alpha Adam did not want to lose honor and provide comfort to his guests, he took Leon around to introduce all the places in the Omorfos area.
However, when they saw two strangers laughing and joking, Alpha Adam unconsciously smiled. "I hope they can have a good relationship in the future."
"I hope so too." said Leon, while Adam's eyes looked more serious as he watched Olivia, the woman he had fallen for. Realizing that, without compromising their intimacy, Leon carefully tried to distract the Alpha. "Alpha Adam, if Olivia meditates on balancing her power, then what about me?"
Leon tried to ask Alpha Adam for guidance. The figure called Alpha now, seemed to take a deep breath when asked about meditation. "With the talent you have, even ten months of meditation is still not enough if there is no peace of mind in you."
"What does that mean?" Leon still didn't understand.
"If by force, meditation is useless without tranquility the result will be failure!"
When Alpha Adam said this, he looked at Leon meaningfully, and said with authority, "I must say, you actually have an extraordinary ability, but there are things that need to be considered so that you can control some elements to make it look perfect."
Leon was silent, inwardly trying to scrutinize Adam's every word. "Does that mean my abilities still have a lot of flaws?" he muttered,
When he wanted to ask another question, Adam attentively explained the steps to follow to achieve a calm and focused state of mind.
"So, you need to find a quiet and comfortable place," Adam pointed towards the lush forest around them. "Maybe, there you can focus more on it."
Leon observed the natural beauty around him. He thought and felt that this place was really suitable for meditation. "Then what about afterward? Can we start now, Alpha Adam?" Leon looked so enthusiastic.
Adam tried to explain by visualizing it to Leon. When the signal sounded, he slowly sat down comfortably while closing his eyes. Remembering every word the Alpha said in detail. "Focus your attention on your breath, feeling every inhale and exhale carefully. Let the thoughts that come up slowly dissipate and focus on the feeling of calm and peace within you."
Leon felt a little awkward at first, but with each deep breath, he began to relax and calm down. With his eyes closed, the Alpha's words were still imprinted in his clear mind. "One technique you can try is to focus your attention on one object with a mantra. Repeating a mantra that has a positive meaning, will help keep your mind focused on the goal."
Leon feels closer to himself and the nature around him, meditating makes him feel an incredible sense of energy and calmness.

Olivia as well as Selena Ashley opened her eyes slowly after ending hours of meditation. "For some time now, I've been feeling so calm at heart. It's as if I'm more connected to nature after doing this meditation."
Selena Ashley, widened her smile. "True, the process of meditation can also clear the mind." Then she stood up as she looked around and breathed in the fresh air.
"Olivia, let's go now." The voice was so familiar to Selena. She immediately turned her head to confirm it. "Leon..." But unfortunately her voice was held in her heart,
"What do you mean we're back now?" Leon nodded when asked. "That's right, we've been in Omorfos territory for quite some time. Come on, let's get back to the village before noon."
Olivia turned to look at Selena. "Sister, I already think of you as my sister. We request permission to return to the village, I hope you don't mind letting us go now."
At that moment, Leon came forward to say the same thing. "We will come back and bring good news, you guys take it easy."
Behind them, the figures of Adam and the elder Omorfos watched them as they nodded.

Leon and Olivia walked until they finally arrived at the village.
"You see, everyone is so busy with their planting work. However, for some time now their crops have a low selling price." Leon was so enthusiastic looking at the farmers who were busy with their activities. "I really miss my mom's cooking, it's something I always feel at home."
Olivia responded with a smile. "I guess you're lucky, while my parents are long gone." She sighed heavily. "Everyone is so accepting of the warmth of their family's presence..."
As they passed small shops and food stalls, Leon stopped and looked towards a food stall. "I happen to be very hungry. My house is only a few steps away from here. Would you like to stop by my house?"
"Yes." Olivia smiled after nodding, although it seemed to look ignorant, but she wanted to get to know Leon's family.
When the two arrived at a rambia-roofed cottage house, Leon invited Olivia inside. "This is my house, don't you mind?"
Olivia observed everything around the house, simple furniture that had enough creativity and artistry was seen at the entrance. Even the terrace space, which was perfect with a wooden bench added as an accent to sweeten the look of the terrace. "All this, who designed it?"
After taking off his shoes, Leon threw his butt on the wooden chair. "This is our life, everything is simple, so I chose to make it instead of buying it."
Olivia sat on the makeshift seat without being told, just then a middle-aged woman and a beautiful girl whose face bore a resemblance to Leon's appeared in the terrace room. "Brother, are you home?" Sofia came and hugged Leon's body tightly. "Lately you've been gone for days. Where did you actually go?"
Leon and Olivia looked at each other, then both smiled. "You brought your girlfriend home, sis Leon?"
Leon immediately covered his sister's mouth with his hand. "Sofia, what are you talking about? He is not my boyfriend, but he is a friend and we are traveling on an adventure. You'll be surprised and understand afterwards."
Olivia kept her face full of smiles. "Olivia, don't mind what my sister says, come on in."
Leon turned on the television in his living room. "Sofia, is there any food in the kitchen? We've been starving for a few days."
Sofia quickly checked the kitchen, while her mother looked exhausted and took a seat next to Olivia. Her head was resting with her eyes closed. "It hurts, it really hurts my head."
"Mom, are you okay?" Leon looked panicked when he found his mother saying so. "Olivia, can you help me recover my mom? I know she must be in a lot of pain right now."
Olivia watched Leon's mother's expression while thinking for a moment. "I can't guarantee it, but I'll try anyway."
