Chapter — The Aura That Took Shape.
The blue light slowly faded.
Luke blinked, his vision swimming as the brightness receded. Shapes returned one by one—the edge of his bed, the wall, the faint outline of his desk. Then something else came into focus.
Something floating.
A small creature hovered in the air before him, glowing with a soft blue tint. It was tiny—small enough to fit in his palm—its form delicate and light, like condensed mist shaped by intention. Faint streams of light flowed through its body, pulsing gently.
Luke froze.
For a brief moment, his mind went blank.
Fear surged.
His mouth opened instinctively, a scream rising—
That creture waen Luke not to shout.
Luke stopped himself.
Luke clamped his hand over his mouth, eyes wide, heart pounding violently.
If I scream… everything ends.
His breathing turned shallow as shock and disbelief fought inside him.
Footsteps approached outside.
"Luke?" his mother's voice came from behind the door. "Did something happen?"
Luke swallowed hard.
"No!" he replied quickly, forcing calm into his voice. "I—I dropped something. It's fine."
There was a short pause.
"…Alright," she said, footsteps moving away.
Only when silence returned did Luke lower his hand.
He looked back at the floating creature.
It hadn't moved.
It was watching him.
"…Who are you?" Luke whispered.
The creature tilted slightly, as if curious.
"What's your name?" Luke asked again, quieter now. "Are you… my enemy?"
A gentle voice echoed directly in his mind—soft, calm, female.
"I am not your enemy."
Luke stiffened.
"I was created by the gloves you are wearing," the voice continued. "I am formed from your aura."
Luke's breath caught.
My… aura?
Understanding struck him all at once.
The gloves.
The control.
The secret his teacher never finished explaining.
"…So this was it," Luke murmured. "This was the secret."
His teacher's teasing smile flashed in his memory—the way he stopped mid-sentence that day. Luke almost laughed now.
He probably thought this would depress me even more.
"So you're made from my aura," Luke said slowly. "That means… you know everything about me."
"Yes," the creature replied. "Your thoughts. Your restraint. Your fear."
Luke looked away.
"That's uncomfortable."
The creature drifted closer.
"Master," it said gently.
Luke flinched. "Don't call me that."
There was a pause.
"…Then what should I call you?" the voice asked.
"Luke," he replied. "Just Luke."
"Understood," it said. "Luke… please give me a name."
"A name?"
"Yes. I require one."
Luke stared at the glowing form. It didn't feel threatening. If anything, it felt familiar—like his own nature given shape.
Luke said at last. "Because you're made from my aura. I will give you name ...…Auru"
The creature shimmered faintly.
"Auru," it repeated. "I happy with this name."
Luke exhaled slowly. "If I wear these gloves, won't people notice something strange?"
"No," Auru replied. "Glove and I become invisible at your command."
Luke's eyes widened. "Invisible?"
"Yes."
"…Do it."
Auru shimmered—and vanished with glove.
Luke stared at the empty air.
"…Appear."
Auru returned instantly.
Luke lowered his gaze to his hands.
So that's why sir never removed those gloves.
Auru replied "Yes Only those you permit may perceive me and glove.
"There is more," Auru said.
Luke tensed. "What?"
"I cannot be detected by electronic devices," Auru explained. "Cameras, sensors, or systems cannot see me. "
Relief washed over Luke.
Then—
"There is a cost."
Luke stiffened. "What kind of cost?"
"If too much aura is released," Auru said softly, "my presence may become visible unintentionally"After a paused,If any person has aura creature like me it can be possible that that aura creature can sense me but if the creature also got to know about me it cant tell his owner about that. "
Luke understood immediately.
This is the price.
"…I have to hide you," Luke said quietly. "And control myself."
"Yes."
Luke leaned back on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
A small, invisible companion was far easier to hide than an uncontrollable ocean of power.
"…I accept," Luke said.
Auru's voice softened.
"Then I will help you control what you were never meant to release all at once."
Luke closed his eyes.
For the first time since the world changed, the weight on his chest felt manageable.
"…Welcome, Auru."
And in the quiet of his locked room, Luke took his first true step toward mastering what the world never wanted him to have.
