While spaced out he slowly crossed his legs and closed his eyes, hands resting on his knees he breathed in an out. The act of naturally entering meditation was rare, and provided benefits. As one needed to enter meditation naturally to unlock Aura.
As he Meditated a pale white flame flickered around his form, compressing and decompressing constantly, growing and fluctuating, until it stabilized. Breathing in compressed the flame, breathing out decompressed it.
As this process was ongoing Avra had the dream again, being in a deep pool of water, calm, collected, silent, but slowly he was rising. For the first time he didn't see an abyssal black, he saw the colors lightening to a dark grey. This brought about a intense reaction to the flame outside.
Its color changed from a pure white to an Ivory white by 1%, the flames burned stronger. Their purity grown slightly.
This process continued through the night as the body grew adapted to aura, blood learning to carry it. Muscles learned to contain it, bones learned to weave it inside itself.
When Avra woke up in the morning he saw a panel infront of him.
Curious Avra pulled up his status, and it showed a new category.

Curious he inquired about what Aura was and the system responded.
A RARE MUTATION OF THE WOLRDS MANA WHEN IT BECOMES ATTUNED TO THE SOUL, ALLOWING THE WORLD TO AWAKEN CONSCIOUSNESS, YOUR WORLD ATHENIA TO BECOME A LIVING BEING AND GROW, YOUR WORLD AWAKENING IS WHAT BROUGHT UPON THE ABILITY TO USE AURA BY ITS INHABITANTS
AURA IS GRADED THROUGH STARS, PURITY IS THE STRENGHT OF THE AURA, MEANING THE STRENGTH OF YOUR SOUL, THE STRONGER YOUR SOUL THE STRONGER YOUR AURA CAN BE TO HARM OTHERS OR GUARD AGAINST SOUL ATTACKS. AURA IS A SPIRITUAL ENERGY, IT CANNOT CAUSE PHYSICAL HARM ONLY SPIRITUAL>
This was good information for this new power, as for how to control it, Avra had no idea and probably wouldn't for a long time, as anything he has to fight he can with his bare hands.
"Aura, the energy of the soul, wonder if a intelligent beings soul is considered an alchemical ingredient." Avra said before setting it aside.

2/2 if you enjoy this put it in your collections and comment, it helps motivate me, also there probably won't be romance for a good 3-4 volumes (if anyone was wondering), I don't have the skills to write realistic romance and I don't have a want to this early in the chapters, if yall think otherwise comment it with a reason and you MAY convince me to implement it into the arc :3
