It's time! I can finally go to Rehndon but first to the trolley stop. The sun may be at its peak in the sky but there are no crowds coming to this poor country station. It's a pity not to get out and discover the world while others are riding around for 10 coins, the sum of an apple crate. Farewell to my land, I am here Rehndon:
"Excuse me sir, do you know where the examination centre is?"
"Yes, you can't miss it, it's in the town's center next to the town hall."
"Thank you very much."
I expected the regional capital to be imposing, but looking closely one can see in the dark alleys some beggars. The atmosphere is oppressive, people are in a rush, and young armoured men are roaming through the streets. Is it because war is at the doorstep of the country? Well, I got other things to worry about.
So it is in this building which looks like an old inn that we can learn more about the Aura.
"Hi I'm here to pass the exam. "
"Good morning, the test will be done in 8 steps each to evaluate your potential. The first test will be behind this door."
"Thank you ma'am"
was there a door here?
I walked in.
What's this desk in the middle of this dark room. Records, one from the universal language and the others from some local dialects, am I supposed to read them?
"Young man, please read the texts in the order and manner you wish."
"Roger that, sir."
Tiring, but not exactly what I expected.
At the reception :
" Welcome back."
"Yeah, not a very conclusive result."
"Don't be too worried, why don't you take this same entrance for your second test."
The same door, No the ornamentation has changed, a couple of people are adorning the door.
I entered.
A circle of people all back to back with a chair facing each one.
"Please stand in front of each person in the order of your choice and then tell us how tour feelings."
Strange 4 of the people appeal me while the other 4 repulse me but all for different reasons, why? I'll start with one of the people I'm attracted to.
Up close you can tell that nothing seems to sweat from these people but my instincts don't lie to me they're all different, that one I was just in front of seemed to have an interest for me.
The second person seems to accept that I sit down more easily than the first person. Yes, that's it.
"I don't need to seat in front of the other people, they all represent an emotion: vigilance, admiration, ecstasy, astonishment, grief, rage, aversion and terror.
"'Go out, then, if you believe you have the answer."
