Manifestation of Mystery

Angor was carefully strolling inside a mountain forest while searching for something.

Mountain wind came and caused the trees around him to rustle.

He halted his steps and listened closely.

"Got you!"

Following the unnatural air current he grasped, he leaped into the air and landed on the thick branch of a giant tree.

Following the branch, he reached the center of the tree's crown. Using what light managed to slip through the large leaves, he discovered a yellow birdling huddled inside a small nest.

The creature was sleeping sound as its chest rose and shrank.

"Stay right there…" Angor reached out a hand into the nest to catch the bird, but it sensed danger and quickly fluttered away from the nest.

Angor spent the next two minutes going after his target.

Fortunately, the forest wasn't real—it was an illusion made by Angor, which meant the bird could not leave it.
