You're right, he is alive and I'll make sure to find him no matter what."
Damons legs felt light and like noodles from the last training game but he ignored it. He did decide to check the notification he got earlier and learned he had gained five attributes points in strength, speed and stamina. His stats were now.
Strength~40/1000
Agility~30/1000
Speed~44/1000
Stamina~33/1000
Vitality~125/1000
Dexterity ~22/1000
Charm~18/1000
intelligence ~27/1000
"Hmmm, I've worked out before and never received an increase in my stats. Maybe it wasn't intense enough." He thought with a smile thinking it made sense.
Thomas ticket and number was called first and so tusk and Damon watched him go up against a female with violet colored eyes and and pink long hair. Her face was beautiful with full lips and dense cheek bones.
"Looks like Thomas luck isn't too good. That's kass, she's the top teen in our city. She has extraordinary potential. Heck she even give seasond adults with ten times the experience a run for their money." Tusk said.
Hearing this Damon made sure he watched carefully as they sat inside the circle in front of eachother. Neither one spoke and just concentrated on their aura.
"Alright everyone. Auras at the ready." A man shouted out. Multiple auras surrounded their bodies as all contestants focused on their opponents.
Thomas aura was blue and wavy with a hint of yellow. It surrounded him growing in size as it shaped with his body. Damon could feel it was strong and resilient. His eyes went over to Thomas opponent, the girl called kass. She had yet shown her aura and just remained sitting down calmly.
The man over the event counted down from five and once he reached one Damon froze in disbelief. Tusk had a smile on his face as he watched. Damons face expression.
"Yep, she has that type of effect on newcomers." he thought looking at Damon, who's mouth was slightly open with frozen eyes.
As soon as the count reached one the girl called kass aura showed itself as it was a rainbow of colors dancing around her. It twirled up several feet and began to grow wide clashing with Thomas aura completly wiping it out after a minute of clashing. Thomas didn't go down without a fight but he seemed overwhelmed.
Damon couldn't describe it. Unlike other auras he felt their were certain feelings that would come to mind.
Everyones aura brought a different feel with it and that feeling could change based on someone's emotion, personality and power.
Kass made him feel grounded. He could feel how sync she was with her aura. It made him feel safe, comfortable and not worried. It was like her Aura sucked away all of his anxiety and troubled thoughts.
Damons face expression soon became relaxed and then uneasy as he felt something else.
As soon as kass aura wiped out Thomas aura and pushed him out of the circle Damon briefly felt something within kass aura that was dangerous.
It happened so quick he really wasn't sure what he felt. It was then he noticed her skin color which was a two toned pink and white.
She looked nothing like the bijou race but she wore their clothing and showed her body features just like them which made Damon question if their were other kinds of bijou people.
Kass was then matched up with another person and winner from one of the other circle's and the same thing repeated itself.
She easily won the aura battle. It wasn't until she was matched up with another female. A woman of a higher age that she began having trouble.
"You've gotten even better controlling and managing your aura strength kass, but you're still not one with your aura."
"Its still rough around the edges and not smooth throughout. It doesn't completely move with your spirit. Until that happens I'm afraid you will never beat me in this event."
A woman wearing yellow cloth covering her breasts with yellow and black shorts spoke.
Her black and yellow hat with patterns over her head made her look like an Egyptian of some kind along with her hazel brown colored eyes and jet black hair that could be seen hanging with long curls just below her neck.
The two of their auras clashed and instantly the older woman was winning as kass body began sliding back.
Once in indian style and in place of the circle you couldn't move at all. You couldn't change positions or anything. It was against the rules. You couldn't even open your eyes in this event for reasons Damon didn't understand.
The only thing you could do was talk and concentrate on pushing your opponent out of the circle.
"I'm no fool Luna. My aura is strong for my age and I have nice control over it but I know I can't win against you. Not right now and maybe not in many more moons but this isn't about beating you. Its about sharpening my skills." Kass spoke gently. Her voice was like a beautiful whisper.
The woman named Luna smiled for a moment.
" You can only sharpen your skills by facing people of your caliber, but if you want to really grow the key is finding friends to fight,save and die for."
" I'm afraid until you let others in, your power will some day stop growing. You may not understand it yet and it may take time."
You perform and grow more when fighting for something you truly care about. That is my tip for today and it will be my final one for a very long time. Luna responded.
Kass rainbow colored aura began to shake and dim down in color as a sun bright yellow aura rose up in a single wave. It was a simple pulse of Luna's aura that destroyed and took the colorful light from around kass pushing her out the ring gently.
Damon once again was dumbfounded about someone's aura and this time it was Luna. He wasn't completely shocked because he could tell she was much older and experienced but to see it still was a sight.
The event went on and Luna was the winner after facing a couple more people who had won their matches.
Afterwards Damon ticket number was called and the rules and regulations were on the back of the ticket.
He walked forward thinking of his arm wrestling match with steel back in village city.
Their auras clashed while doing so. He knew this was an entirely different thing but his match with steel was all he could go by that was somewhat similar.
Sitting down in one of the circles he closed his eyes immediately not waiting to see who his opponent was.
Calming and relaxing his body he began meditating and focusing on his aura alone. Thinking of aura control, the breathing technique sir hughes had him practicing he wondered if it could help.
The first time trying it had activated a skill without his permission and in this event nothing like that was allowed. The other few times he did the breathing method he was fine and no skill activated. Damon was at a crossroad in choosing to add in the method or just go with the flow.
In the end he decided to just go with the flow feeling their was no time for error. He followed his aura throughout his body and began pulling it out coating his feet with it first and then the rest of his body as the man called for them to get ready.
A sky blue soothing aura covered him within seconds. He could feel his opponent aura as well but chose to remain focus on his alone. He put it in his mind that it didn't matter if he won or not as long as it helped him grow. After all it was a training game.
The match had started and Damon could feel his body sliding back from the jump as his aura was being pushed back. He didn't panic and instead increased its strength. His aura turned a slight darker blue with tiny specs inside it glistening.
He pushed back with his mind and in doing so little sparks could be seen igniting within his aura.
"Ahhhh, now that's an interesting aura. You don't see that kind everyday."Spoke Tusk.
"Yes, it's unique. Although his aura balancing isn't particularly good it is strong and has a much different feel to it than any other I've felt. A rare gem, or a Diamond in the ruff that needs to be polished to perfection." A woman said next to tusk. It was the same hazel eyed woman from the last match.
A little ways down from them were kass and Thomas watching carefully.
Damons aura produced small amounts of electricity as it clashed with a red spiky aura belonging to a young man with red skin and green eyes.
Damon had pushed him back as well after upping his aura and they now were at a stand still.
