Still in deep meditation, Vinoh is able to feel emotions around him, letting them affect his grove, so that he may maintain some sense of what was happening.
As he sits there, in his grove, Vinoh feel his body become one with the earth. He is a small tree, gently feeding off of the positive energies around him. Then, slowly, his friends appear. He attributes animals to them, so that they may be included easily in the most sacred place of his mind. Two wolves appear, a grey one then a black one, followed by a salamander and an owl. Then, he sees a miniature dragon, a minx and a ferret. This last animal is slightly out of focus, whic means it's probably Sexodus, whom the mind mage had just recently met, so no strong connection existed at this moment.
They all seem occupied: the grey wolf is busy gathering wood for something, the black one stands aloof and the owl is perched on the tree next to Vinoh. The small dragon seems to have found something. Some of the other animals gathered around. The ferret joins him quickly and starts pawing on what appears to be an old wood... box or something. They open it and bright light spills from it.
For a moment, the mind mage is blinded by feelings of relief and sadness. Those and... mischief?
Suddenly, he feels the salamander climb on him for a moment and feels happiness.
Turning his attention back to the box, he sees a small butterfly fly out and land on the ferret, directing him to and fro.
These are most interesting images and Vinoh continues to regenerate humself as he watches events unfold.
