Toxic Ooze

Lane woke up with a gasp, instantly jumping out of the bed. His stomach grumbled, as always when returning from possession, but he had no time to satisfy his hunger. The clock on the bedside table displayed 1:03. He was already late.

He quickly grabbed a pair of shoes, activating his cloaking ability as he slid them on, and rushed out through the balcony, charging toward Northwall Park with his Sky Step.

The park was quiet and dark, with no lamps to brighten the empty paths. Only some critters and the trees rustling could be heard. A peaceful and serene atmosphere.

Lane circled above the park, activating Mana Scan just so that he could spot Xavier more easily. As expected, the young man was there. A few minutes were not enough for him to leave the place…

But were enough for the hypnosis to wear off. The man had arrived, but now was no longer under the spell, looking around in confusion.
