68. Echos

Kai searched for a long time, but he didn't find a single living being on his path.

'Something is wrong with this place.' Kai soon realized the problem. 

The fog started affecting his mind, and he had been walking around a circle for the entire time.

'But why did it affect me?' Kai thought about the reason. With the existence of Will Power, he should be able to find the difference, when he is under an influence, but Kai didn't find any influence on the fog.

Soon, Kai found out the reason after an investigation. The fog didn't affect his mind directly; instead, it affected him using his sense of smell.

It is odorless, and Kai wasn't able to find it, after getting inside his body, it easily confused him.

'Why are these terrifying mists on the periphery? Is this forest sentient and put this fog in it to protect it from invasion?'
