"The journey to enlightenment," the woman said. "You have come to this place because you are seeking something. You are seeking knowledge, you are seeking power, you are seeking enlightenment. I am here to help you find what you are seeking."
"How can you help me?" Lucas asked.
"I can teach you," the woman said. "I can teach you about yourself, I can teach you about the secrets of this place. I can help you on your journey to enlightenment."
"Then tell me how can I obtain the strength I seek," Lucas said.
"Then let us begin," the woman said.
And so, Lucas began to learn under the woman. She showed Lucas how to manifest the aura of the ajna chakra, a bright yellow light covering the palm of his right hand. She explained that aura can only be manifested after one reaches a certain level of control, but that the aura of the ajna chakra is especially powerful and can substitute for mana and sword aura.
Lucas's journey was long and difficult, but now he saw hope that he could finally reach a level that was once beyond his grasp. Up until now, he had only wanted to get revenge on the assassins who tried to kill him, but now the dream of revenge against his family who threw him out was resurrected.
The woman saw that the spark of hatred in Lucas had grown stronger.
"Boy, you must remember that hatred can only take you so far," she said. "If you truly want to become stronger and reach the peak of chakra aura, then you must subdue that hatred of yours."
"So you can see what I'm thinking?" Lucas asked.
"No," the woman replied. "I have simply lived long enough to tell what someone is thinking. But I can see that your hatred is clouding your judgment. If you want to truly reach your full potential, you must let go of that hatred."
Lucas was silent for a moment, considering her words. Then he said, "I will try."
"That is all I ask," the woman said. "Now, let us continue your training."
