Chapter 139: Chapter 139 : Sweet Tooth

The streets of Eldoria bustled with the midday rush, the scent of freshly baked bread and sizzling meats wafting through the market stalls. Elias weaved his way through the crowd, his mind singularly focused on his destination—a small, unassuming food cart at the far end of the square. It was home to the best lamb bites in all of Eldoria, possibly in all of the Heartland, and it had become Elias' favorite snack since he'd first tasted it during his early days in the kingdom.

As he rounded the corner, the familiar sight of the food cart came into view, but something else caught his attention. A flash of light and energy, subtle but unmistakable, rippled through the market. The aura was powerful, familiar, and oddly comforting, almost as if it radiated warmth and joy wherever it touched.
