Will of chaos

When the meeting was over with everyone at the mansion, after I woke up I was talking to Layla to get to know each other better while talking her I realized that she has more knowledge about Aura than me, maybe she knows some things I don’t.

I look over at Layla who is taking the sandwich I gave her earlier from the place where she kept it with her space element, it was like the sandwich just appeared out of nowhere.

“What do you know about Auras, Layla?” (I)

With my question Layla stops eating the sandwich and crosses two of her arms while holding the sandwich with the other two, her expression is like she’s trying to remember something.

“The information about souls is common sense to Fairies, so it’s one of the things I remember well.” (Layla)

“Can you tell me more about this?” (I)

“Aura is something that emanates from everyone and everything, Auras for living beings are the representation of everything that a person is, be it their powers, race, lineages, works, titles, soul, personality and emotions.” (Layla)

“But there is a difference between a person’s normal Aura and Aura Ability, Aura abilities are people’s personal traits, one of the countless traits they have in their Auras.” (Layla)

“I do not understand.” (I)

“To put it simply, an Aura is a set of one’s own traits, an Aura skill, on the other hand, is the crystallization of a single trait that stands out in the Aura.” (Layla)

“An example of this are mages, when a mage reaches a certain level with his magic he gains the Skill [ Magic Aura: 1 ] if that mage becomes even stronger in magic if he specializes in an element such as fire for example and reaches the maximum level of your Aura skill, then your Aura skill can evolve to [ Fire Magic Aura: 1 ].” (Layla)

“Do you understand master?” (Layla)

“I think I understand, you mean that the two abilities of Aura in your example are characteristics that stand out from this Mage, so those characteristics gave rise to this ability.” (I)

“What I really meant was that these Aura abilities are the very characteristic in your normal Aura.” (Layla)

“You have been hiding the characteristics of your Master Aura well, but your normal Aura is still very visible to incorporeal beings like Fairies and Spirits, people who have training in controlling their Auras can also feel your Master Aura, for me, I’m a Fairy it looks very inviting and I feel very comfortable around the master.” (Layla)

“But to other people, it will seem like a bottomless abyss.” (Layla)

“(Now things start to make more sense, so my Aura skills leveling up can be considered as the traits getting stronger, so the notification saying that my Aura has become stronger should be referring to my normal Aura.)” (I)

“Does the master understand now? Normal Auras are a part of a person just like their arms and legs.” (Layla)

“A person doesn’t gain an ability for each member of their body but can gain skills on characteristics of those members such as strengthening those members to make them more resistant or stronger.” (Layla)

“I see, thanks for the explanation Layla, but what do you mean by Fairies and Spirits being incorporeal beings?” (I)

“Our bodies are not made of flesh and blood, the bodies of Faeries for example are materializations of magical power along with elemental power, they are vessels for our souls and minds, while a leftover body part can recreate the part we lost with enough time. if we still have enough vital energy, but that doesn’t mean we don’t feel pain, our minds and souls being connected to these bodies allow us to do everything other living creatures can do like eat, drink, see, hear, feel pain, feel the temperature, etc.” (Layla)

“If I remember right, powerful mages can create these types of bodies they are also called [ Avatar Elemental ], but I don’t know much about it, the memories about it are still a little fuzzy.” (Layla)

“…” (I)

Layla’s explanations are very clear and easy to understand, but I feel like she’s telling me very important things.

“So the bodies of spirits are also the same as the bodies of fairies?” (I)

“No, the Fairy bodies are built of pure magical and elemental power imbued with vital energy, but the Spirits’ bodies are made of spiritual power and pure elemental power also imbued with vital energy, they are similar but fundamentally different.” (Layla)

“Is there also how to create a body similar to a Spirit as you have for the Fairies?” (I)

“Yes, there is, but this memory is a little confused too, I just remember what it’s called, I think it was [ Astral Body ].” (Layla)

“(So this is what an astral body is, that shadow should be my astral body, it seems that my Blood Pact skill forced the creation of the astral body, so the two skills are sealed now, to use my astral body I will need to train techniques spiritual by the looks of it, so it’s going to take a while, for now, I’ll keep focusing on magic.)” (I)

“(If I remember correctly Kira is learning some spiritual techniques from Byakko who remembered that I’ll save that for later.)” (I)

“Why do you Fairies know all this?” (I)

“Every fairy knows about her own body, we also know about Auras because we can see them and feel them normally the same way you can see and feel water or air.” (Layla)

“The reason we Fairies, as well as Spirits, can hide from people is because we can hide our Auras within us and make our bodies disembodied, for normal or weaker people we seem to be invisible.” (Layla)

“Thanks for clearing up a lot of things for me, but I’m surprised you know all this.” (I)

“For us, it is common knowledge, the same goes for you people, you also know what your bodies are like, you know that your bodies are made up of skin, flesh, blood, and bones.” (Layla)

“It’s normal for someone to know what makes up one’s body.” (Layla)

“You are right.” (I)

“Tell me something, érica once taught me that pure elements are very rare and that they allow the owner to use that element with any type of energy, be it mana, Ki, or spiritual power.” (I)

“But I’ve never seen Byakko use his elemental powers other than with spiritual power.” (I)

“What the master said before is correct for other races, but a Fairy’s body is made of Mana and her element, as such we can’t use any energy other than magical power.” (Layla)

“The same goes for Spirits, their bodies are composed of spiritual energy, so they are only able to use spiritual energy.” (Layla)

“Talking to you helped me understand a lot of things.” (I)

“I’m happy to help the master.” (Layla)

Talking to her in this short time has enlightened me with several things, I may not know much about this world, but I am lucky to have people I can count on.

“You know a lot about Auras, could you teach me how to control mine?” (I)

“Unfortunately not, master.” (Layla)

“A Fairy learns to control her Aura the same way as walking or flying, I don’t know how to do it consciously, I just do it.” (Layla)

“Can you explain to me how you can move your body for me or tell me how you can make your heartbeat?” (Layla)

“I should have known it wouldn’t be so easy.” (I)

“When I have time I will have to find someone who can explain these things to me.” (I)

I look at the little fairy and one thing comes to mind, how am I going to walk with her on the streets? 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡．𝙤𝒓𝙜

I don’t know the normal appearance of a Fairy, but I find it difficult for them to have colorful and transparent bird wings like Layla’s or have four arms like her.

“I wonder how we can hide her appearance?” (I)

At my words, Layla stands still and I see tears appearing in the corners of her eyes.

“The master wants to hide my appearance?” (Layla)

“Am I that ugly to the master?” (Layla)

“What, that’s not it…” (I)

“I’m so ugly that the master wants to hide me, I’m sorry for this appearance master.” (Layla)

“I didn’t mean…” (I)

“Shame on someone as ugly as me getting so close to the master.” (Layla)

“Listen to me please, you’re not ugly, you’re beautiful, I meant hiding your four arms and wings so you don’t draw attention in the streets when we leave the mansion.” (I)

When I see that she is going to start crying for having misinterpreted what I said I try to explain myself only to be interrupted several times by her, when I finally get desperate to comfort her I take her in my hands and try to stroke her head gently as I explain. clear way for her to understand.

At that moment she starts to laugh.

“Hahahaha, the master believes in anything, hahahaha.” (Layla)

“..” (I)

“I already understood master, I was just playing with you a little.” (Layla)

“I can’t believe you fell for it, ha ha hahaha…” (Layla)

“You little…” (I)

“You won’t be irritated by a simple and innocent joke, will you?” (Layla)

As she told me not to get angry she looked at me with innocent and tearful eyes, for a moment I felt like she was seeing a puppy.

“Fine, I won’t be pissed off just about that.” (I)

As I say this, I see Layla’s innocent, tearful face turn into a face of someone having fun with a big smile.

This little Fairy is just kidding me, I thought Fairies were sweet, kind, and innocent.

Looks like I was wrong, on second thought the Faerie Kings didn’t seem innocent at all, let alone this little Fairy who’s been pestering me.

Sigh

Well, it’s already night so I think I’ll go to sleep, tomorrow I’ll get up and try to do some light training and study more about magic.
