“Oh okay, That makes sense” Nivel responded with a smile.
Nivel felt a little bad for forcing Alex to explain himself to her when she knew he shouldn’t have had to. If it weren’t for her overbearing pycon curiosity she would have just let it lie and not brought his uncomfortable memories to the surface.
“The past is the past, I seriously doubt your Aura is corrupted.” The pycon reassured the squire. “I probably wouldn’t notice those subtleties anyway, the mind is very hard to read. It’s mostly the physical and Magical properties that I can sense in people. Though if you really want to know what I can see I’ll gladly take a gander and tell you what I can learn.”
Nivel began the process of meditation with her usual breathing exercises. She would slowly fill herself up with hair like a ballon and then inflate herself until she had reached the desired level of calm.
As if she had opened up another set of eyelids her vision drastically changed in an instant. The dull neutral coloured archives became full of life, movement and vivid colour as she saw how things truly were.
The brightest aura was of course Alex, it carried a softness and realized nature to it but with quivering strands that might elude to a touch of inner turmoil. The light was a mild pink that faded to a brighter turquoise near the fringes, it was quite beautiful to behold.
After taking a brief moment to admire it, Nivel focused on the aura and let it’s presence into her nexus. A flood of information and imagery overwhelmed her and she concentrated on what she wished to learn. She started out simple by thinking about his age and what he eats. Nivel could see lines appear with in Alex’s aura and in an instant she could feel that he was around 20 or so years, maybe less. Not to long after she could taste a sweet fluid in her mouth and while the sensation was foreign to her she knew it was orange right away. Alex also had some crispy bread full of grains and eggs witch Nivel didn’t enjoy as much.
The next thing Nivel looked into was injuries of abnormalities that Alex may have have suffered recently. The damaged areas began to glow on his body and Nivel could feel sense ever ruptured blood vessel and every freckle or mole. Alex mostly had mostly healed bruises on his arms and torso and a few tiny cuts on his shins. His intestines were running smoothly but she could tell he would be getting hungry any time now. He had a small patch of frost bite on his cheek and a tiny bean shaped birthmark on his outer thigh. She felt she had learned enough and severed the connection and reverted her vision to usual.
“Well, you’re just under 20 years old with a touch of frost bite on your cheek, a brown spot just bellow your waist and you have a few mostly healed injuries on your arms and legs. You ate an orange, a cooked egg and some bread with lots of grain in it and while you aren’t hungry now but you will be soon. That was some of the information I could gather but it’s all mostly physical, I couldn’t get much of your feelings or your past from this reading.” The tiny mage recited “I will say though that your Aura is very beautiful and calming. very colourful too.” her ears fluttered as she put the squires fear to rest.
“Auristics and shielding are pretty safe, I find the magic that is typically used to harm others are the ones that are likely to hurt the user back. Auristics is mostly used to gain knowledge and Shielding is for protection its nearly impossible to hurt people with them. Though I have been confined in a cage that was covered in shield magic so it can’t always be used with good intentions.” The time she was held captive ran through her nexus and she wondered if she would ever find the ones that imprisoned her. She hoped they were brought to justice soon.
“I agree with you there, It sounds like it would be easy enough but some people are set in their ways as you said before.” The pycon could now see what Alex was getting to with their earlier conversation. Some people were like rocks when they should be more fluid like clay.
“I wonder what else this tower needs?” Nivel said as she notice Alex surveying the tower. “A roof perhaps?” She walked backwards a bit to get a better view of their work.
