I woke up, startled by the crackle of thunder...

It was raining non-stop since sunset, with sparks of lightning and growls that seemed like predators...I laid there on my bed along with my thoughts.

The Luna Crystal is gone...

What was that power?

And most of all...Hisashi is gone...

All these thoughts lingered in me, which made me stressed out.

*sighs*
"What do I do now?"

I rolled over onto my side, facing my Aura, my weapon, gleaming from the moonlight. This,made me think back on the day that I graduated in training.

~Flashback~

"I'm so excited to receive my Aura today!" , 10 year old me had proclaimed.

"I wonder what color mine will look like!" , said little Lilliana.

"Okay! Mamoru and Lilliana line up!" , Hisashi called.

The both of us along with our other classmates ran to the shrine where we were about to receive our Aura's.

Aura's are weapons that were created by our leaders to match our skills and become an aid in our life. Some are simple, like a bow and arrow, and some were big and elegant like a long sword.

But it didn't matter how small or big your weapon was, it was how much power and passion the weapon had.

"Next is... Mamoru!"

"I stood up from the wooden floor and walked with my chest out proudly, ready to receive my Aura.

Hisashi took out a long burgundy box and placed it on the table. He then lifted the lid revealing a bluish light shining from the Aura. He then carefully picked up the weapon and presented to me, bowing down.

"Here it is, your Aura,

Forctis... (latin for brave)

Facing me was a long but moderate figure glistening in the light. The body was a mixture of royal blue and a light blue with appealing embellishments. The base was a reddish brown with a turquoise bottom. I was in awe.
