Procession

The psychic feedback brought Hao Xuan back to his senses, forcing him to take another look at himself.

'What the hell is going on?' he muttered inwardly while plopping down on a nearby sand mound out of frustration.

'Even 'Regis Officium' is barely able to contain these outbursts anymore and I need to be in control at all times. Things are hard enough as it is- I can't take any more risks.'

*Sigh*

Hao Xuan closed his eyes and crossed his legs while regulating his breathing.

He wanted to meditate while Ryuk looked around for some prospective creatures but it was so quiet and tranquil that he almost immediately slipped behind the veil.

His soul peacefully separated from his body and stepped into the Umbral Planes.

'Huh?'

Hao Xuan's consciousness took hold of his moon-like form as he examined his surroundings.
