Mildred found peace in the darkness, the powerful wind moving through her long, dark hair. The six stood under the soft moonlight falling in the clearing, surrounded by immensely tall trees. The loud rustling of leaves was chaotic and amplified by the powerful presence that now persisted through the land. Yet there was the comfort of nature in the sound, and a deep care for the demons. The land was their home, after all.
Over the course of many years, Shadow-Trappers and Demons developed a hostility due to emotional influence. Entropy increases with time and so does the disarray of emotions, causing the birth of Demonic Creatures and Wind Phoenexias. When and how had it all happened? Mildred wished to see the time when all Shadow Beings were in absolute peace, when they shared their worlds.
"I wonder what sort of trees they are. Brier would know," Kasia spoke with curiosity yet remained vigilant, observing her surroundings.
"Brier always knows. She can speak to nature, to life. Oh that must be amazing!"
Zoey spoke with pride, the moonlight momentarily in her brown eyes. She explored the land with haste, her movements causing her ginger braid to bounce about excitedly.
"Don't wander off. Looking for you would be the greatest task of all."
Zoey shot a somewhat proud look towards Kasia, earning an unimpressed expression.
"Don't worry. Ethel's there. The guy can locate my exact position in the universe."
"You leave me to my peace, please," Ethelred responded at the mention of his name.
"Never."
Zoey shot a wink towards him, shifting her focus to the land. The six soon resumed their exploration with only Mildred observing in a stationary position. Her eyes remained open with no expression on her face, realising the energy of the land. It was the same all across, a tranquillity amidst the chaos, though a burning sensation had begun to form in various pockets of this universe.
"Ethelred, can you amplify the electromagnetic radiations of that area?" Mildred entered Ethelred's mind for a brief moment, making his senses recognise the only odd aura in a large region.
Ethelred nodded slowly as he took a few step towards it. Not losing the sense of the aura for the smallest moment, he brought his Yuran out. A long and thin sword formed in his hand, little red sparks going around it. Ethelred concentrated further and the blade disappeared, only the hilt remaining.
As if water drifted towards the source of the aura, the light travelled in visible waves, spreading across the area. The surroundings gradually brightened with a green glow, the red disappearing as they continued to amplify the infrared light.
"It's very cold, isn't it? I sense an enormous wavelength," Zoey said as she moved towards the spot.
"Keep your distance, Zoey. But yes, you're right. The wave is constantly changing, as if something is interfering..."
Zoey rushed towards her previous spot, a blue leaf sitting where her hair was tied.
"Everyone stay back. Zindel, please...do your thing when you sense an objects particles. And do not levitate it accidentally, please."
Seeing the woman in an anxious state was often next to impossible. Ethelred already worried, though he remained focused at the tasks at the present, keeping his Yuran's effect at a low level.
A thin and short man came forward, holding an aura of confidence and curiosity in his brown eyes. For a brief moment his hand rested on his hair as he fiddled with it to ease his mind, returning to the present with a casual look.
