She wanted to yell but that would be a waste of oxygen. For some reason, she was walking back onto the station with Utolian at her side.

Avina wanted to rail, wanted to punch him, but instead, she sent her senses out in a wave. This time, there was no walking through the station, no looking for clues.

Yartu was being sneaky. He had laid traps in the entry hall, but it was easy to disarm them; they were using her energy, after all.

She didn’t want to speak to Utolian, so she placed her hand on his arm. His energy rippled through her, so she jerked her hand away. He really was a walking aura in a physical body. It was the most surprising development so far.

Avina knelt and coaxed her energy into parting from that of Yartu. Once her power was separate, she pulled his into her with a snap and sent it out to eliminate the bits of herself that were waiting for her to set off the trap.

She heard his bellow of shock when his traps were destroyed. She only had to wait, and he would come after her.

The bellow was on the astral plane, and she could feel the heavy thuds of his feet through the hollow station.

Avina shifted her stance to a fencer’s footing. It could be disorienting, being in the physical and the aural world at the same time, but as Yartu appeared, she was very focused on his every move.

She needed to make contact with him to take back what he had stolen, but as he grew larger, Utolian stepped between them.

To her shock, he moved with the grace of a bullfighter, grabbing the Grafthian as he ran past and pulling him up short, just a few inches from Avina.

She wasn’t stupid; she grabbed at the aura with hands and senses, pried her own power away from him and embedded it in the walls of the station. It was simple enough to shatter him in the next moment, leaving Utolian holding nothing.

Avina shrugged, dusted her hands off and told her separated energy that it would be a good idea to do a scrubbing of the station, aura-wise. She couldn’t control her lost power, but she could coax it along. It was fairly agreeable to suggestion and another Aura Speaker would be able to coalesce it into a living ghost. It wasn’t the first ghost that Avina had left behind somewhere, and she doubted it would be the last. When the station was occupied again, her ghost would fade.

Utolian paced out with her, back into her ship and through the airlocks. In the second airlock, he asked, “Why are there two?”

“Because, if an aura piggybacks me in here, the second round of locks will notice it. It checks my brainwaves for invaders.”

“Why is it letting me in?” He was genuinely curious.

“Because, my mind isn’t registering panic, fear or uncertainty.” She smiled as the cycle chirped its completion.

Including her unconscious time, they had only been at the station for four days.
