Longtail just sat still and eventually closed his eyes and began to breath deeply and listened to the sounds around him, as his uncle had taught him to do. He could hear water flowing, the trees moving with the wind, and even a few rocks sliding nearby. He smiled and gave a content sigh as these sounds began to lull him into sleep.
