Chapter 67: Palpable Situation

Kael and Carter packed their bags efficiently, ensuring that they had everything they needed for their upcoming journey. Thea had already left the inn that morning, leaving a note of gratitude and her contact information in case they ever needed to reach her. Kael and Carter decided to bid goodbye to the temporary friend they had made on the road.

As they stepped out of the inn, Thea\'s absence was palpable. Kael and Carter shared a brief, nostalgic look, acknowledging the uniqueness of their encounter with her. Thea had brought a spark of intrigue and camaraderie into their lives in a world often dominated by darkness and uncertainty.

They continued on the road, the sun casting long shadows as it dipped toward the horizon. The wheels of their camels creaked as they moved along the dusty path. Carter broke the silence, his curiosity getting the better of him.

"Kael, I\'ve got to know," he began, "why were you so sweet to that woman, Thea? You\'ve never been this friendly with a stranger before."

Kael glanced at Carter, his expression contemplative. "You see, Carter, I had my reasons. The first time I saw her yesterday, she was draped in a towel. Her moon mark on her left thigh caught my eye."

Carter\'s eyebrows furrowed, clearly intrigued. "Moon mark? What\'s so special about that?"

Kael\'s eyes remained focused on the road ahead as he explained. "The moon mark is a rare and unique birthmark. It signifies an individual\'s ability to sense the aura of a person. Thea mentioned that she\'s looking for a missing child. And, Carter, it\'s not just any child she\'s searching for. It\'s a child with a potential dark user aura."

Carter\'s eyes widened in surprise. "A dark user? That\'s...that\'s rare and dangerous. But how can she identify a dark user just by their aura?"

Kael nodded, his expression growing more serious. "Exactly, it\'s not something you can easily detect. But those with a moon mark have an innate ability to sense the darkness within others. They can perceive the subtlest shifts in aura, which allows them to identify dark users even when they\'re concealing their true nature."

Carter fell into deep thought, grasping the significance of Thea\'s abilities. "So, that\'s why you were friendly to her? Because you think she could be a valuable ally in our mission to find dark users or kids with aura?"

Kael nodded. "Yes, Carter, exactly. She might have knowledge and skills that could help us on our journey. And I believe that she\'s definitely searching for someone , just like we are."

The two friends continued their journey, the weight of their shared secrets hanging in the air. Kael and Carter had always been cautious and selective about the people they trusted, and Thea had unknowingly entered their world, bringing new possibilities and dangers along with her.

Kael couldn\'t help but harbor suspicions about Thea. The notion that she might be connected to the ritual kidnappings and child abductions weighed heavily on his mind. While Thea had intrigued him with her unique abilities, he also knew that her powers could be used for nefarious purposes.

As Kael and Carter approached their destination, a sense of unease settled upon them. The city they were heading to had become a hotspot for the slave auction, a sinister event that had claimed many innocent children in the past year. Some had vanished under the cover of darkness, while others had been forcibly taken from their homes.

The recent wave of kidnappings had shaken Kael to his core. He was determined to uncover the truth behind these abductions and bring the culprits to justice. The bond he shared with his own missing brother, William, fueled his commitment to this cause. Kael couldn\'t bear the thought of other families suffering the same anguish he had endured.

As they neared the city, Kael resolved to keep a close eye on Thea. He was prepared to do whatever it took to ensure she wasn\'t involved in these heinous acts. Kael had always been vigilant and unwavering in his pursuit of justice, and this situation was no different.

Carter, too, shared Kael\'s determination. He knew that they were venturing into a treacherous territory, where they could encounter those responsible for the ritual kidnappings. Carter\'s loyalty to Kael was unwavering, and he would stand by his friend\'s side, ready to assist in any way necessary.

The sun hung low in the sky as they approached the city\'s outskirts. In the distance, they could see the palladium where the slave auction was set to take place. It was a chilling reminder of the darkness that had pervaded this world.

As Kael and Carter drew nearer to their destination, they steeled themselves for the challenges that lay ahead. The road they had chosen was fraught with danger, uncertainty, and the ever-present threat of evil. The fate of the kidnapped children and the mystery surrounding William\'s disappearance weighed heavily on their shoulders.

As they entered the city, they knew that the shadows of deception and malevolence lurked around every corner, and their pursuit of justice would test the limits of their courage and resilience.
