「Early morning.」
After breakfast, Zorn settled onto the sofa near the fireplace and picked up the day's Ogrande Steam Daily.
A fire roared in the hearth.
He warmed himself by the fire, digesting his delicious meal while absorbing Gang Qi and Evil Energy. As he read the daily paper, a picture of the world slowly unfurled before him.
From his quiet corner, he watched the tides of the world ebb and flow.
The past few days had been remarkably pleasant.
The weather in late October was growing colder by the day.
A cold wind blew in from the northwest, blanketing all of Ogrande City in a gray mist.
The entire city had been shrouded in a hazy fog for some time now.

He had been quite pleased with it after unsealing it.
The portion from Lady Sun was a full three times the size of the one he had first acquired.
