By the time the blinding light disappeared, Rio opened his eyes to a clear sky. No longer on the planet of Arcadia, but somewhere else.
The air was purer here, without mana for sure, but without any pollution or dirt too. There was this smell of flowers wafting the waves, hitting his nostrils that could calm anyone's senses and make them relax their guards.
The scent of nature is such a magical thing.
Looking around he found himself alone at a grassland. His hand resting on his sword's hilt, let go and relaxed as he spread his mana and found no trace of monsters or any strange creatures around a hundred meters.
He tried to trace the connection with Amy through their telepathic link, yet failed to find her too.
"Out of range or is something blocking it?" He said to himself and shook his head.
Ignoring that thought first, he sat down to the ground, letting the waist length grass cover all his traces.
