"Do you see it?" Zephyr asked Aurelia, standing nearby.
"Yes," she replied, her eyes narrowing as she focused on the patch of dirt.
"Can you use the detection spell you spoke of?"
"Hm."
Aurelia didn't hesitate. She drew a breath, activating the spell engraved deep within her core.
A pulse of mana rippled outward.
It wasn't violent. It was a soft, invisible wave that traveled through the air and into the ground.
Zephyr, with his refined mana control, felt the mana wave as it washed over him. He could feel his own body blocking the energy, a portion of it reflecting toward Aurelia like an echo.
'Like sonar.'
The mana pulse was like a sonar, scanning for anything that could stop or react with it.
"I see." He said.
He took a few steps towards the ladder and the overturned patch of soil.
"Rabbit!" Suddenly, Aurelia exclaimed. "Not one. There are many." She said a few seconds later.
