The abandoned fortress had a rich collection of books. Leon couldn't tell if they belonged to the Mage's ghost, but he truly appreciated them. They left him feeling fully satisfied, though a bit dazed after reading, experiencing an inexplicable sense of being worlds apart.
Leon shook his head and decided to take a rare trip outside. He kicked off the mountainside and spread his wings to glide down to the ground.
Walking through grass and stepping over bushes, Leon noticed a low tree covered in red berries. On a whim, he bit into one, without any concern for poisoning. After all, he was a Dragon, with his current physical constitution, exemption to poison, coupled with the effects of Samadhi True Fire working internally, hardly anything in the wild could poison him—if anything could, it would have already been foraged by someone else.
