Phoenix Drop High: Ashter's Story (COMPLETED)

Chapter 25: Ashter's Mental State

Ashter stands outside in his backyard, meditating as his body is slightly coated in small burst of flames, concentrating on whatever he's doing.

"This should be right..." Ashter thinks to himself as he is shown in a sort of mental space as red and blue swirls flow out of Asher's body (Thanks Rubyrose645 for the inspiration). Ashter felt the wind blowing, the grass growing, and the energy of the world around him... As flames flicker as he concentrates more and more as the wind swirl around his body as the fires unite with it. Ashter's eyes glow as they were closed, revealing veins of white and red as they flow throughout his eyelids like a river running along with the land. But Ashter felt somebody coming near... A presence of a highly trained Magic-user as his concentration breaks apart as his mom calls for him,

"Ashter! A friend of yours is here!" Zina yells as Ashter gets up, as he is surprised to see an aura of yellow and purple around his mom.

"Woah..." He says as he can almost feel it, the friendliness and protectiveness of the aura was intense...

"Did you say something?" Zina says as Ashter shakes his head, responding with,

"Uh... No, sorry, mom." Ashter says as Zina weakly smiles at her son, as Ashter felt the same presence as before, only to realize who that is when Zina introduces her.

"Ashter. This is one of your classmates, Lucinda." Zina says as she presents Lucinda as she waves at Ashter.

"What's up, Ashy," Lucinda says as Ashter excitingly greets her.

"Lucinda! I haven't seen you in a while!" Ashter says as Lucinda chuckles,

"Yeah, family stuff, you know. Potions." Lucinda says as Zina invites her to sit down.

"C'mon in sweety, I'll get you some tea," Zina says as Lucinda was surprised at the calm mother,

"Oh wow... And I thought Werewolves were more... Wild." Lucinda says as Zina gives her a giggle as Ashter chuckles along with her.

"Did... I say something?" Lucinda says as Zina reply,

"No my dear... I'm Ashter's adopted mother." Zina says as Lucinda's eyes widened in response,

"Wow... I just thought... Differently because your boy has the looks of a playful women cub as yourself." Lucinda says as Ashter's eyes perk down as he blushed a tiny bit, Zina was surprised at Lucinda as she smiles.

"My boy was told he looked like his mother... When he was born at least." Zina says as she places a plate with two cups of tea. It smelled very tense but contained a sweet aroma.

"Enjoy you two!" Zina says, leaving the two teens as Lucinda smiles.

"You know... You and your mother have very different Auras, it's incredible." Lucinda says as Ashter can slightly see Lucinda's Aura as it only glows a faint orange,

"Oh... Yeah, surprised me too." Asher says as Lucinda smiles, congratulating Ashter on his work.

"Wow, and it usually takes a while to learn how to sense the Aura of another person, I'm impressed," Lucinda says as Ashter compared hers and his mom's Aura.

"Yeah... But with people who never practiced Magic, their Aura felt... Intense... It's almost as if I can-"

"Feel the Aura?" Lucinda says as Ashter was a bit shocked to hear the answer, as he nods, looking down as he felt a blue and red glow radiating from him, Ashter smiles as Lucinda gets up, placing down the tea.

"Now that that's out of the way, I always wanted to see your room~," Lucinda says as she darts to the stairwell as Asher jumps a bit in his seat,

"Wait! Lucinda-!" Ashter says as he places down his cup as Lucinda was already opening his door, Ashter rushes up to his room as he turns the corner... Only to see his room and Lucinda was amazed by it. Ashter froze upon entering as she stares around the room,
