Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang flew back to his branch and arrived a couple of minutes later. Since he was back within the range of the Keeper's Spirit Sense, he didn't need to avoid all manners of beasts anymore. He could just directly travel to the branch in a nearly straight line.

Eventually, Shang reached the Yellow Sunbreaker. At first glance, it didn't seem any different than usual, but Shang knew that this wasn't true.

The Yellow Sunbreaker was currently in a state of slumber.

Shang had heard the Keeper tell him that she was going to receive Mosuma, which meant that she had to leave the Yellow Sunbreaker for a while. Obviously, she couldn't just leave it awake. Without her there, it could crush the entire branch with its roots.

Some seconds later, Shang landed in front of the entrance root, but he wasn't alone.

"Welcome back," the Keeper told Shang from her spot in front of the root.

The time it took for Shang to get here was enough for her to deal with Mosuma's acceptance ceremony.

Shang only nodded without saying anything.

CRRRRR!

The Keeper's mind lifted the incredibly heavy root, and the two of them entered the branch. Shortly after that, the Yellow Sunbreaker slowly woke up from its slumber.

Inside the branch, Shang walked down the stairs behind the Keeper. The Keeper sat down at her usual spot and resumed managing her territory. Shang couldn't tell what the Keeper was doing all day, but he assumed that she was probably communicating with all the different Keepers of her territory.

"Have you found what you were looking for?" she transmitted to Shang with a neutral voice.

"You already know," Shang answered.

"That's right. I do," she answered.

"Then why ask the question?" Shang asked.

The Keeper remained silent for about two seconds.
