Back on Planet D-418, Zion made his way toward the marked area.
Yet with every step, that strange feeling of being watched crept back over him, heavier than before.
"Uriel, can you check if there's anything around?" he asked, slowing slightly as his gaze swept the forest.
[Affirmative,] Uriel replied after a brief pause. [I'm only detecting small creatures. Nothing threatening within a thousand yards.]
Zion's expression darkened slightly. He nodded once and attempted to shake the feeling off as he continued walking.
He continued at a steady pace, rapidly approaching the mid-grade herb.
As time passed, the feeling only grew stronger.
Just as he was about to dismiss it again, Uriel's voice echoed through his mind.
[Host,] it said, voice sharp. [I'm detecting a life force high up in a tree ahead.]
Zion slowed immediately, his eyes darting upward. "Can you show me its location on the map?" he asked.
