Entranced by the little mass of aura I don't notice Hannah reaching out her hand for me. 

"It's beautiful isn't it?" getting my attention a smile is waiting for me.

"Pragtagheid" is all I can manage, reaching out to her 

"Haha, yeah it is" she replied getting me to my feet. walking 

joining her on the bench she creates her own ball of aura and brings it closer to mine to compare them. bringing mine closer I saw it very distinctly. mine was a dull grey but hers was more of a sterling silver even more than that hers was a perfect sphere where mine was wriggling and struggling to stay in any solid form. 

"Now let it flow over you like water, let it become a layer to cover you." her words were clear but out of my reach even as she showed me. Her aura sphere lowered and rippled, not bursting but flowing out from itself to cover, first her hand then her arm then her in her entirety, shining as it went on. I began to look and focus on my own ball but it resisted moving at all even after a few minutes of trying.

"It will be difficult. It's like trying to flex a muscle you didn't know you had, don't worry, and take it slow." Even with her advice it still feels impossible I try everything to get it but it doesn't work.

"is it easier when the aura is inside?" A nod of approval from her and a sigh from me. this is going terribly. 

taking my aura in my hand I bring it to my mouth and swallow it. feeling it inside of me it flows down past my stomach and right back up into my chest as if I was hollow on the inside. 

"I feel it it's weird. but I can feel it." it felt unnatural in the best way, like a high of a cigarette. It behaved much more within me now than it did before. It would flow where I wanted and take any simple shape but the next part was my favorite. releasing and flaring my manna it was, absorbed? Fuled? it enlarged my aura increasing its power by a little and amount by a lot. my body now filled felt powerful like I was supercharged or maybe nitro-boosted would be more accurate. with a powerful but short exhale I smile at Hannah.

"All filled and ready for the next step." My words filled with a power and joy unknown. Hannah smiled at first but like a flash of lightning her eyes widened and she paled, her body shaking violently.

"Wait What!" Her response surprised me, but what surprised me even more was the speed at which she cast her green box. it was up even before I had truly registered what she had said. Now stuck inside the damn green box again my patients began to drain at an incredible rate. It was so tight I could bearly even move

"why am I in the box again?" my voice brimming with barely contained anger

"Because you weren't supposed to fill yourself with aura. you were just supposed to, to keep that little aura inside and begin to play with it, dilute and spread out in your body." her worry was evident even in her eyes so I began to relax.

"What does this mean how bad is it?" I ask with a trembling voice but from a different emotion than before. Picking up two stones Hannah took one in each hand so I had a clear view of both. I saw the one begin to be covered in a thin film of aura which meant the other was being filled.

"Now Check it." her words left me only a second to react but now powered by aura a second was plenty of time. First stone, she cocked back her right hand and let it loose the arua-covered stone began to soar silently through the sky even after it passed a few 100 meters its speed and incline were unaffected. Then Bang, the sound nearly gave me a heart attack, like a gun being fired. the second stone flung from her left hand tore through the sky in a fiery blaze of glory like a meteor ascending into space but it should never reach that far. Colliding with the first stone hundreds of meters away and above ground they exploded in a blaze of glory and as a shower of dust and pebbles began to fall a single sliver of charred rock fell faster than the rest.

"That is the difference between protection; covering and strengthening; fulling." now with a visual the difference was made more than clear. Even if I wasn't in the green aura box I would be too afraid to move, unsure if I would break or break everything around me.

"Now let's make sure you don't end up like that." her words were worried but stern.

"ok, what do I do." I muster fighting myself and my restaurants to get the words out.

"Cup your hands together slowly and cover yourself with aura." her voice is more stern now but it didn't need to be for me to do so, as she relaxed the box just enough so that I could bring my hands together. Slowly moving my arms together it felt near impossible as I began to flex my muscles. in my muscles, I feel the aura, and it flexes as I feel it flexes, even as I try and relax the aura the pure volume of aura causes it to feel useless. but I persisted till clasping my hands together I created a new ball of aura. Letting it flow over me felt as if I was covered by thousands of wet crawling ants my body cringed and buckled under the film that began to encompass my body. As I do so Hannah expands and extends the box till it is wide enough that I can bring my elbows out comfortably and stretch to her about 3 steps away.

"ok now just slowly walk towards me." Her worried voice now relaxing but still on edge. nodding slowly a smile began to grow, I was confident that I could do it. Gracefully I step face-first into the other end of the wall with the force of a speeding car flatening my face against it. Rebounding and lading on my back near where I began. my screams came out muffled as blood began to sputter out with the force of a firehose covering the top of the box in this red spray. My tear-blurred vision left me vulnerable as my nose was removed from my face the pain jolted and stiffened my body so I couldn't even react if I wanted to. But a second after a familiar warmth began to surround me, especially my face, it was much faster but didn't penetrate as deep as usual.

"With the domain being much smaller it improves the speed of the healing but since you are so full of aura it has to fight for its spot inside you, that is why we don't fill past about 80 percent of aura or 70 if you were a caster." her word soup was almost in one ear and out the other but I tried to hold on to it as much as possible.

"Can you lower my aura level?" I ask my voice mostly recovered and free from blood.

"Yes, but I won't as you need to learn how to balance your strength and the aura strengthening." her words were much stricter now as she

"So stand up and try again." Without sympathy a step below a command. I Wished wrong give me Hannah back, my voiceless cry fell on open ears so I slowly got up flexing my aura to move my body to little effect. then trying the reverse first muscle then aura after. it worked but was rough causing me to fight for every motion but more slowly than magic I got the hang of it enough for Hannah to step into the box and help me. Firstly Bleeding my aura as she says then getting my movement down before sending me home to rest after cleaning me off a bit.
