Flare had always been good with directions. Hence he walked straight towards the old man's place without even turning his head sideways so as to prevent himself from wasting any more time than he already did.

But when he reached the spot, he did not find the old man's place at all. He turned his head sideways and looked around but couldn't find any hint of someone's traces around the area.

It almost looked like there had never been a person that came to this place ever.

It looked just like any other spot in the middle of the forest where no one would walk around except for a few animals.

No matter how much Flare looked around, he couldn't find any traces of the old man at all.

He smelled around but couldn't find any scents. It was almost like there was never a person that stayed here before.

Flare almost started wondering if whatever he had seen and experienced three days back was nothing but a dream.
