There was a slight pause before the whole group gasped, the two men letting me go. "Henry what do you mean?" The old man stood up and walked towards me. "Her aura might be similar but it is still underdeveloped, as if she has never trained to control it." He observed me before sighing.

"What is your name girly, my name is Henry." I raised a brow crossing my arms. "My names Lee Miller." I said plainly making him nod. "Miller..." He scratched his untamed beard before nodding. "And where are you from?" I sighed looking into his green orbs. "Not from around here that's for sure. Where I'm from there are no creatures like the ones here!"

He blinked a couple of times before pressing a hand to my head. His palm was against my forehead and it began to feel warm. After a while he stepped back and let his hand drop down. "It seems you came to this world just like Beatrice did."

I looked to my hands before looking back up. "Who is this Beatrice girl?" Henry looked at me sadly. "A very kind girl that had saved us many years ago. Unfortunately she wanted to explore this world so she left this land to travel. We haven't seen her in over four years." My eyes widened in surprise as I nodded. "That's a long time..."

"What did you mean about my aura?" I tilted my head in question. "Well in this world everyone can see auras if their magical abilities are very high. If your magical abilities are high then so is your own aura. It seems you have a lot of raw magical energy so your aura is quite large." I frowned and massaged my temple feeling extremely confused.

"But like...I'm not from this world so how can I have magical energy?" He smiled and chuckled softly. "That I cannot answer. Beatrice also had quite the big aura when she first came to our world." I nodded and squinted my eyes. "If I have such a big aura then how come I can't see auras?"

"I suppose it's because you haven't controlled your aura, it's quite active despite being a newbie." He watched me, well my aura. "Is there a way I can go back to my own world?" I stared at him with hopeful eyes. He frowned and shook his head, "Not one that I know of."

I felt my knees grow weak before I collapsed. The people around went to help me up but they quickly scattered back. "H-Her..."

Does that mean I can't...go back?

My chest was paining and it felt like I couldn't breathe. I knew I was devastated but I didn't realize that my aura they spoke about was going out of control.
"Lee, you to need calm down." I looked up at Henry only then realizing that tears were falling.

"I...can't go back?" My voice broke and I noticed Henry take a step back. "Lee you need to calm down. Your aura is growing out of control, it's very dangerous." I wanted to stop but the thought of not being able to see my father again was terrifying.

Henry stared at the crying noirette, her black aura growing with each breath she took. It was hot and it was powerful. If it wasn't for Henry's own powerful aura he would have been badly injured.

Her aura had began forming a creature-like appearance, right out of her back. Even though the emotions coming from her aura  were not blood thirst, the sadness was still painful. Her aura was sending her pain to others and it even managed to get through Henry's aura.

The group of people that had escorted Lee into the office had passed out. They must have been too overwhelmed by her aura and couldn't handle it. "Lee, we'll find a way. You can't give up just yet."
