The moment I set foot off the train I had the wind knocked out of me for the second time, the world around me looked something near ethereal blanketed by soft snow, everything from the platform to the station was covered in a thick layer of white, I've seen snow in New York but the it looked nothing like this, the aurora from the dragon veins danced with the wind and bounced off the white world
"You see it too?" Thea came up beside me putting her hand out, catching the aurora as it wove through her fingers, I nodded and she asked "....what is it?..."
"Mahito called it an aurora ...." I then proceeded to give her a simplified version of the lesson Mahito gave me on the train, she nodded clinging to every word, her gaze fell hard and devoid of the wonder it once had ".... everything okay?"
