Bab 194: The first day

'The silence is creepy.'

Hex stood on a thick branch and focused his senses on the surroundings. But to his surprise, he didn't see or hear anything alive nor did he sense any energy fluctuations. 

At his level, Hex could sense energy fluctuations no matter how faint they were but not even the trees possessed energy. 

The absence of energy could mean two things. One, there was indeed nothing with the Blessed energy or it was at a level he couldn't sense. Both things disturbed him greatly. 

After not being able to sense anything, Hex decided to forego his passive stance. 

'Waiting won't help. Let me first check around to see if I can track my current location.' 

Wherever he looked, he only saw trees around him. From his bag, he retrieved a handmade map. This wasn't the general map provided by the camp. It was something he received from Sterling.
