As people have gone through the process of finding their own element and how to activate their aura Niko stood there beside Chimera, thinking of his own image to think of. Yet it was a hard task for him for he had several finally settling down with a bunsen burner as he was most familiar with how it looked and was used. Niko wanted to calm Chimera down but it seemed that one way or another she could calm herself down by her own will or maybe with the help of her familiar, either way, it was good to see the little one overcome a part of themselves to be better.Mentions:

And when it came to be Chimera’s turn he could only feel proud of her as if she was slowly becoming his new little sister, which does feel weird for Niko but it begins to grow on him. So when she came back and sat near him he only gave her head a few pats and a quick smile before standing up just as his name was said.
“Nikola Hohenheim”
It was finally his turn at this whole thing, truthfully at this moment he was equally as excited as he was nervous, but he had to bear it in himself for now, after all, nothing good comes out of being too emotional and impulsive.
"Do you have an image?“
Asked Joan, but Niko nodded affirmatively in reply. Then to concentrate he closed his eyes and imagined things, first came the bunsen burner itself, and then he imagined his own aura being the gas that it burns, he slowly fed the aura into his imagined burner and lit it aflame, its imaginary flame slowly turned from pale orange to dark blue, meanwhile outside of his imagination. His aura began to slowly flare up as if it pulsed ever so slowly, but it picked up the intensity and speed, only fully releasing when his imaginary flame burned a stable kind of blue flame, did his aura begin to form around his body magnificently. It was hard to turn off his aura but he did succeed, it felt like it didn’t want to simmer down and be sealed back up inside him but the lesson needed to proceed and his element was already chosen for him, that card that went aflame, Bipi with his familiar of flame and heat speech, and Nikos own affinity to it meant only one of those four elements was meant for him, so he stepped in front of Josh and said proudly.
“I wish to pursue the art of Fire, as it is a force to be respected, one without which our ancestors could not survive, and yet it's the one that takes the most lives.”
Josh grinned at Niko’s answer and shook his head a bit before coming towards him and placing his hand upon the boy’s head while speaking.
“It is said that the Magic of Air, Water, or even Earth is the most powerful magic of all. They are wrong. The Magic of Fire surpasses all others.”
“Fire is destruction, it can burn fields, and terraform forests.” Niko’s head held steadfast as images of a rolling fire burning through crops and jumping over houses, an infernal blaze spreading through an oakwood forest until there was nothing left.
“Fire is life, it can seal wounds and stop bleeding. Heal grievous wounds and keep warm during cold nights.”
The images shifted from the burning forest to a cold desolate landscape with nothing but snow as far as the eye could see. A small fire blazed to life in front of him and Niko felt warmth, his cold hands stopped shivering and he sighed in relief at the feeling.
“Fire is also creation, a product of the imagination”
The landscape shifted again to an open field, firecrackers lit up the sky and burst into numerous colors and shapes. Butterflies made of dazzling fire danced through the fields and swirls of smoke molded to take the shapes of animals.
“Do not the power of fire lightly, wield this power with the knowledge that fire can be unforgiving.”
Niko stumbled backward out of Josh’s grip
“Now Niko,” Josh spoke
“Look at your fingertip and imagine a small flame. focus.”
Niko wanting to add a bit of flair of his own to the demonstration of the elements prepared his fingers to snap while tapping into his aura letting it flow through him and outwards to flare up this spark and form a flame, leaving the opening act to his snap. As to finish it Niko opened his eyes and snapped his finger swiftly unleashing his aura.
Yet this time it was different, his normally red aura flickered with that pallid azure flame, casting an eerie radiance that seemingly penetrated the veil of some sort as vestiges of flaming skulls appeared within it, their hollow eye sockets staring out of the ethereal blaze with a ghastly intensity. Not to mention the haunting cadence of the grandfather clock which reverberated through the room like a solemn toiling of a funeral bell a mournful reminder of moments slipping away from us, a shadow of mortality so to speak. It was seen and heard by probably everyone in the room, except for Niko himself as the only thing he saw was a crimson-red flame hovering above his hand, as for the sound he only heard his old pocket watch ticking away, for all that was simply happening behind him out of his view. Being satisfied with his flame he extinguished it, and along with that the sound of bells and the hellish flames disappeared as well.
"I think this is enough for right now." Niko said to himself only to return to his seat not minding the gazes of anyone else at his macabre show.
