Karen stepped away, glancing back at Olivia, who appeared astonished by what she had overheard. Although Olivia had kept her distance, her sharp senses had picked up on the exchange.
“You can come out now, Luna Olivia!” Karen called out.
Blinking in confusion, Olivia approached and noticed the patrol guards seemed completely dazed. “What did you do?”
Karen shook her head, smiling. “Nothing at all. They agreed to let us leave. Don’t worry about it, Olivia. Let’s get going before they change their minds.”
Olivia stared at Karen in confusion. *I sense a red flag, but why do I feel blind to it? Are my abilities failing me? I detect danger, but not from Karen. In fact, the danger seems faint… so why do I find myself following her? Why do I feel so oddly relaxed?*
Karen took Olivia’s hand.
