After Michael was done with whatever he needed to in Aurora, he returned his consciousness back to the land of origin.
His last thought in his original world was envisioning how after getting to his territory, he might have more than enough free time on his hand to be wherever he wanted just like back when he had just awakened.
Back in the land of origin, he was just about to continue mediating, normally this time without a spirit crystal when he heard a knock.
"Huh?"
The thing was that it didn't come down from his room door.
It came from his front door.
Spreading his senses out, Michael also found the signature of the person outside unfamiliar.
A knock came again.
Michael decided to check it out.
Before making his way downstairs, he unsummoned Spartan.
Michael moved through the house with calm steps, the faint creak of the wooden stairs beneath him barely audible.
