"Now, picture that feeling spreading through your body," Captain Hugh continued, not knowing what she was thinking about to have such a nostalgic expression on her face. "Feel it moving from your heart outward."
As Aristia concentrated, she felt a tingling sensation spreading through her body, starting from her chest and radiating outward.
Opening her eyes slowly, she saw a faint glow beginning to shimmer around her, like a soft halo of light, enveloping her and pulsating gently with her heartbeat.
Captain Hugh's voice broke through her concentration. "Well done, Princess," he said, his tone filled with approval. "You're beginning to manifest your aura. That glow around you? It's your aura, a special part of you now. With practice, you'll learn to control it."
Aristia looked at him in awe. "It's... it's beautiful," she murmured, watching the faintly shimmering colors dance around her.
