Uncontrolled Power

The morning began like any other, with Alaric navigating the familiar routine of getting ready for school. As he dressed, his mind was preoccupied with the various concerns weighing on him. In the midst of his thoughts, he completely forgot to put on the red cross necklace, a crucial item for suppressing his aura.

When Alaric arrived at school, he was met by his friends, who greeted him with their usual enthusiasm. They gathered in their usual spot, chatting and laughing as they made plans for the upcoming weekend. The absence of the red cross, however, would soon become evident.

As Alaric settled into his seat in class, he was completely unaware of the changes taking place around him. His aura, usually suppressed by the cross, began to seep out, creating an almost imperceptible yet potent disturbance. The atmosphere in the classroom subtly shifted, a ripple of energy that went unnoticed by most, but not by everyone.
