Nial was not sure how much time had passed but everything felt like a dream, a weird dream.
He had no idea how much time passed but after talking to Aine, Nial was thrown out of the Fairies' Lake.
Aine told him that he could return whenever he wanted, using the Fairies' Blessing, but also that he had to leave now.
Nial could sense his surroundings by using his range of perception once again but he didn't do so. He basically restricted his own Mana perception in place as he tried to find his way through Yggdrasil.
'I rely too much on my range of perception and [Mana Sense]. I looked like an idiot when both were restricted…' Nial understood his biggest shortcoming quickly and it was quite obvious.
