Chapter 17 - Conceal

Their two aura then this pocket is where those three kids fell into and lucky for us two of them have aura. They must be the brat's helpers. And somehow one of them has a unique aura, the power is unimaginable. Kon thought as they simply walked around.

Even talking normally my voice echo then this pocket can barely hold. Keeping five people in same pocket, wrong move. Her aura must have depleted that she could barely use her power. I bet she's rushing to regain her energy to get her comrades out of here. Well no rush, the pocket we're in is small and it is easy to look for just a bunch of kids and it takes time for her to regain her energy. Drei confidently thought then something clicked.

It takes time to replenish some energy but she is still a Nightshade and has many sources to regain her aura back to its natural strength.

"What now?" Yuna said nervously as they could hear their footsteps towards them from both sides.

If only we could go to the Boundary but even if we could, only our soul body can go their and our physical bodies remain here. Hecate? No, I don't even know how to contact 'Her' and I should not always depend on 'Her' when such things happen. Think! Yuna, Think!

'Ariella, is it possible to take control of the air in this dimension?' Rei asked.

'Possible as it exist. Are you planning to fly and knock them out? Hahaha just kidding, They are stronger than you think they are.'

'I know. I'm planning let these two fly above or across us.'

'And you? Sacrificing yourself for them? Nah ah, brother. Sacrifice is not our thing. We guide those who can fight and support them. We are the ones who strike other way round to succeed.'

'No one can fight among the three of us. Marlon is still a kid, new to this world despite seeing auras and Yuna has limited movements since her wound might open.' Rei said taking a glance to both of them worriedly.

Marlon has been watching the two dark auras walking around to find them stating their current distance from them. "They are about 20 meters or less from both direction. Should we run to the center?"

They do not know our specific location. Thanks to Marlon, he is able to see their auras giving away their location. They've been walking around searching but their movements are weird. Something's off. From what we heard, they felt something that made them know there is/are somebody in here beside them. And base on their movements they are pretending to leisurely walking as if they think we don't know that they know the direction towards us. Rei concluded.

Yuna, also thought the same thing. Feel... Then something clicked in her mind. Aura! They felt a presence of an aura in their surroundings which is us, both Rei and I have aura but not Marlon. Possibly they are after the two of us.

Drei, not underestimating Freya's ability to regain her energy in a short time, he started to move fast and Marlon noticed this. "The one on our right change his pace. He started to move fast. The time he change his speed his aura also wavered for a bit."

Wavered? But Marlon said only one of them sped up walking. He must have felt our presence nearer. What should... 'We strike other way round to succeed.' Then an idea pop up on Rei's mind.

'Ariella, Can you lend us a hand?'

'You've been calling me Ariella, Ariella! As if we are complete strangers. Hmph! Call me sister, or big sis. Anything but—' Ariella complained but before she could finish, Ariella heard the word that satisfy her the most.

'Ate Ari, Can you lend us a hand? Please.' Rei did his best to speak politely and especially using the dialect from his place that would definitely satisfy Ariella.

'Hmm~ Sure, will do. But I can't help you that much my spirit there has limited powers. It can only assist you for a bit, do not worry its not that it is weak.' She then agreed.

Formulating the plan in his mind at the same time Rei talked with Yuna and Marlon.

"Marlon, I need to ask you something."

...

"It seems the aura is stronger than we imagine, Kon." said Drei.

"Definitely, then shall we? Two of them might have an aura but still they are still kids."

"Do you mind if I do the honor?" Drei confidently said walking towards them. Kon nodded.

After a few steps the presence of their auras vanished. 'What? They vanished? No, they must have known that we used to detect them using aura therefore they concealed theirs'' Kon also noticed this.

They might conceal their auras but they cannot hide their presence. As they moved forward before they were able realize their absence a strong wind blew towards Drei and Kon. And within the strong wind there were blades in wind form.

Drei and Kon were able to dodge or block most of them but there are still some that made a few cuts to them.

"D*mn brats!" Drei shouted using aura to encounter the 'blades' then used a long-range attack to where the wind came from. The wind stopped but they waited a scream or a noise that caused Drei's attack but nothing happened.

During the short counter Kon frowned, they might have concealed their aura but somehow he cannot feel their presence. He scans his surroundings but to no avail. What the? Where did they go? It's impossible to leave Bulsa unnoticed because if they have left there would be a portal opening and within this cramped space we would have noticed this. Then they should be somewhere around.

...

"Marlon, I need to ask you something." Marlon nodded in response.

"When did you noticed you have the ability to see aura? "

"Just a moment ago"

"Specifically when? the very moment you saw our aura? " Yuna questions.

Marlon calmed himself then went into deep thought recalling when did he started to see aura. Was it when we ended up here? no, well kinda yes but nit in an instant but somehow it is not an that time a bit earlier when... Marlon then finally remembers so as the emotion he felt that time that made him forgot the moment he were able to see aura.

"It was when Rei and I arrived in the dark street... That time when I felt the pressure that they were giving off... I saw a bit of your and their aura before we fell here." Marlon answered.

That must be the trigger then Yuna confirms, "Then when we arrive here you saw our aura instantly when you woke up?"

Marlon shakes his head, "No, I were able to see your aura by the time you asked a question confused."

Emotions. That triggers it. Earlier when we fell here we got confused, scared what place this is then our aura intensified when we heard the two men therefore they have sensed our auras stronger. That means we have been giving away our location from the start.

Yuna called Rei and after a moment of silent conversation, eye-contact, They were able to understand each other. It seems impossible just to understand each others mind but to both of them being ten-year partners in dancing eye-contact with their pairs is a way to communicate with one another which is an easy task to both of them.

"Marlon, would you mind to tell us if we succeed concealing our aura?" Rei asked and Marlon nodded in response.

Both of them focused. Calming their mind and soul then to concentrate their aura from appearing out. Ariella did not even bothered Rei or he might lose his concentration.

In Marlon's point of view, their aura was still has a strong presence but eventually it slowly shrink entering their soul body. Most of their aura entered their soul body but there were few amount of it surrounding their physical bodies. Even though they were not able to retract their aura it is still enough to conceal the power or the presence of their aura.

Their aura were nearly invisible but seeing that it didn't budge even further Marlon told them that that would do to conceal their aura. Satisfaction can be seen in their faces thus proceeding to the plan.
