"I would imagine she has," Brian said. "She knew my name without me telling her, so it stands to reason she's been keeping tabs on me for some time now. Jonah did say that his descendants would be keeping tabs on my side of the family, to ensure the mistakes of the past wouldn't be repeated."
He wasn't surprised to hear that they didn't know what had wiped out the Monks. Theories were all that was there, it seemed, but could Brian's newfound ability be put to use to find out what had happened? "Is it possible there might be more Time Flowers?" he asked. Aura echoes? He'd never heard of them, but the more Riley spoke, the more intrigued he became. So the ability to see them wasn't exactly common, but why was he able to? That was when Riley mentioned something he'd never heard before. "Aurametry?" he asked. "That's not something I've heard of before. What exactly is that?"

"It's possible, the hard part is always finding Time Flowers. They 'grow', if you want to call it growing, along the roots of the Tree of Life, or rather that's what legend says. I can confirm that where they grow there is an abundance of life energy, or aura. They can also grow where a large concentration of aura once was, like here, with all the Monks of Was manipulating aura. So yes, this is the long way of saying you can find more." Riley answered Brian and then gave an additional explanation on Time Flowers.
"Aurametry is just the fancy way of describing the ability to pick up on aura echoes. Way back when some people tried to scientifically describe the abilities of Aura Guardians, so it's just a holdover from those times." He continued. "So, with all that said, are you still interested in pursuing the ways of aura? Despite knowing it will certainly lead you into conflict with your distance family? And that's not to say how difficult the training will be. Think you are up to the task?"

Hmm, so it was possible to find more Time Flowers, just difficult to actually find them. Perhaps that was something he could look into at a later date. For now, however, he had other things to worry about. Riley's explanation of Aurametry cleared things up a bit, as it seemed it was more a fancy word than anything else. Hearing Riley's question about whether he still wanted to continue the training gave him pause for a moment. Did he really want to keep going, knowing that he was setting himself up for more encounters with Maeve and her side of the family?
It took only a moment to reach a decision, and when he looked at Riley again, there was determination in his eyes. "I don't care that the training will lead to conflict with that side of my family," he said. "Let them come. Aura is a gift that, from what ye've told me, very few people have the ability to use. If I were to decide not to pursue the training, it would be like saying I don't think I could handle it. I want to prove that I'm nothing like the cretin that was my ancestor. If ye're willing to train me, I'm ready to learn."
