Prospectors are from all over, not just from the seven kingdoms. So, the aura around then is based on their spirit animal or anything that makes their soul pure. But prospectors recognize instantly where another prospector is from, because of the symbol of their birthplace , which is embedded in their aura." Li Jen explained.
"Oh. So if a prospector is from the kingdom of Dragons, the dragon symbol-" Kai scratched his head when he became a bit confused, which made Li Jen laugh before she continued to explain.
"Say, if a prospector's spirit animal is a dragon, and he or she is from the kingdom of Dragons," Li Jen smiles as she uses her kingdom as an example. " The Prospector's aura of the dragon will surround him like a blanket of protection, while the dragon symbol of our kingdom will act like a protected sheild on the back of the aura dragon. Do you understand now?"
Kai nodded his head, but he was still a bit confused as to why he could see the auras.
"Li Jen, one last question."
"Hm?"
"Are you sure that only prospectors can see the auras?"
"In every book and scroll I have read, and every telling and teaching I have received. The Prospectors are the only ones that can see the Prospector's auras."
Kai nodded his head, but that still didn't quench his curiousity. Maybe he should tell Li Jen about what he saw, and also about the weird feeling and strange voice he heard.
"Li Jen." He called Li Jen as she was about to walk away.
"Yes Kai?" He open and close his mouth, second guessing his decision. Should he tell Li Jen? Maybe he was just hallucinating because of his narrow escape from the cabbage cart that almost ran him over. Even that event is still bugging him. How did he jump so high in the air?
"Kai, what is it?" Li Jen ask again when she didn't receive an answer from him.
"Ah, when are we going to switch?" Kai laugh nervously. He decided not to mention anything that had happened to him earlier.
"Oh, why not tomorrow. It's nearing to dusk now, and it would just be a waste to switch with just a few hours for me to explore." Li Jen smile at him.
"Ah, that's true." Kai agreed, still skeptic about the whole situation.
"Come," Li Jen took his hand in hers. "I had prepared a little birthday feast for you. Let's go before Li Jie eats all the cakes. You do know that he has a rather very uncontrollable sweet tooth." The two friends laughed as they left the balcony and to the garden where the feast is being held.
