Fascinating. I love a good short story. This is an excellent piece of work. You have an interesting style of writing.

Bildungsroman

Beautiful. Creative. Amazing.

Keep up the excellent work.

While i don't really like the procrastination from "Aura" I like this. The first thing I noticed though,

They like are lights

: I think you meant "they are like lights". I think, :)

I know I've said it before but your way with words is amazing. Its like putting the reader in the character's place so that they can almost see and hear and feel what they do. Its talented detail, and I totally envy that. :)

Wow.

Wow, I have to say, that's good! The description was nice, and the whole piece kept me interested. I have to say though, for the longest time, up until the end there, I didn't know if the narrator/main character figure was a man or a woman. Maybe I missed something earlier on, but... Oh well, I guess you can probably infer from the war aspect of it. (Plus, I'm not the brightest bulb so, you know!) I was rather confused about the war, the creatures and their powers through the whole thing, but if continued, it will be cleared up later, correct? ^^ I really like the style of writing, and I'll look forward to an update!
