Chapter 54 - The Search- War for Academies arc

As expected the thing had already taken off with Farv. Amongst the rubble, however, there was a faint scent of that presence from earlier. A presence that my enhanced senses could make more vivid. "Release." The soldier jumped as he drew his sword, stammering "Are y-you one of them? You said you were Roan's friend." Barely registering him, I focused on following the trail of energy left behind. I simply responded, "If I were, you'd be dead." Like those civilians. Maybe his words had more truth than I'd like to admit. As I followed the energy I heard the sound of a sword sheathing behind me, followed by heavy footsteps. "Wh- what are you doing?" "I'm using my enhanced senses to follow the trail of energy." Realizing his insignificance, he shut up after a meek "oh." Finally, I thought as I continued following the energy through back alleyways and other shadowy parts of the city. It seemed as though the thing wanted to avoid people.
