Chapter 53 · Nova

"I know that," I said with a smile proud to know at least one thing that was being talked about "Bane explained it to me."

"Good at least you know something," Wick started until he noticed me glaring at him "Sorry, sorry I didn't mean it like that I was just happy I didn't have to tell you something so basic."

"Wick maybe you should just get on with it," Zoe said with such a tone I could almost hear her eyes roll.

"Right sorry, where was I, oh yes aura. So how much did Bane tell you?" Wick asked

"Um well she said it was eating itself or something, oh and that it was like my soul," I answered trying to remember what it was she had told me.

"Right, well I guess she not wrong but it's not your soul or 'eating itself'. Here let me look," Wick explained as he flicked his glasses which caused it to almost I want to say flashed a deep pink.

After a few seconds, he sighed " as I fault. First, it is not your soul but it is your mana mixed with that of the air around you however it can change with the mood your feelings or illness so some would say it's a kind of soul or at least a look into it but personally I wouldn't say so."

He took a deep breath before starting again " and as for it eating itself that is just a perfectly normal even. When you first get mana pump around you it causes your weaker aura to collapse and then replaced later with a more dense and powerful aura, most of the time, like, oh I don't know the forming of a supernova."

"Is it's normal," I asked a little bit of fear relaxing inside my stomach I didn't realize I had.

"Well with so many types of magical types and force's of power it can differentiate now and then but its nothing to fear. However, I must say with the changing of your aura it would be stupid to check it. I'm good but as aura form, they become utter chaos to read which I'm not so good with," Wick concluded tapping his glasses again stopping the odd haze around them.

"So what type of..." I started to ask before I almost fell out of my chair.

'BAM'

"Tada, can I get ya something to drink," Ruby asked slamming her hands on the bar scaring the life out of me.

I look at her as I tried to stop my heart from bursting out of my chest.

She didn't look much different than before however now a grey apron covered her front with a little brown logo on the right side just above the heart. The image itself was of a brick and the name of the bar under it in the same deep brown.

"Oh so you work here also can I get a coke," Zoe asked

"Yep its not the most exciting job but money is money. Also, I'm sure I told you that I worked here," Ruby said half muttering the last part as she started pulling out a glass bottle and a glass filled with ice of Zoe's drink.

"You did say that, indeed. Could I get a sparkling water?" Wick commented.

"Sure, Jade you getting anything?" Ruby asked now looking at me.

"Um, ok can I have a, umm, orange please?" I whisper unsure what to get and just going with the first thing on my mind.

"No," Ruby said loudly before a smile split for face "of course you can. Ha, you should have seen your face, like I'm not going to serve you or something,"

I half laughed as I tried not to make eye contact with anyone. I had forgotten how much of a meanie Ruby was.
