aurora borealis appear on other planets too

[Gadgetrocks]

Auroras are caused by radiation from the sun, called solar wind, interacting with Earth's magnetic field. When magnetic storms occur on the Sun, electrically charged particles (ions) from the corona and solar flares are added to the solar wind produced by the corona.

*********************

Prologue

The sun. That blistering, bubbling ball of fire that would change the Forgotten Snows forever. The sun sent out a solar flare, the heat soaring through space, and down on earth, a Aurora blazed bright. And so it blazed... At least, intill it became restless. A thousand years shining in the night sky, and nothing to show four it, except the human travelers who came to see her. Being so very lonely in the sky, the Aurora, using her powers, created a friend. And so Polaire was born.

*********************

Chapter 1: Descent

"Why mustn't I go down there mother?" Young Polaire squeaked."It is dangerous for such a small being as yourself." Her mothers smooth voice echoed back. Polaire knew this was not how most grew up. Her mother a string of lights and colors barely formed into anything, of course, at the time Polaire was just some lights too, but that aside, this was not a normal childhood. Looking down at the young Viscets wrestling each other in the snow, Polaire yearned to go down there. The longing felt like a painful ache in where her chest was supposed to be, and like any teenaged celestial being, when they've experienced pain and being told not to do something, they do it. So one day she did. She floated out of her mother's protective range, but little did she know, that once out she would fall, down, down, down. The earth, seeing this falling spirit, decided to create her a body, using her memory of the playful Viscets, the earth shaped Polaire into the form of a Viscet. But alas, not even the earth is a perfect creator, and it had created this new body with no magic control, meaning if she can't figure out how to control, it could corrupt her, and that would be a very, very big problem.

*********************

Chapter 2: A barren world
"Mom?"The sound of Polaire crying for her mother echoed across the desolate snows. After no response for about two hours, Polaire sat down,
defeated and lay in the cold, soft, snow. "Cheep-Chu"Polaire was awoken by what sounded like a distressed bird. She tried to stand up, but a blizzard had been raging as she slept, and she had to shove about three feet of crunchy, miniscule ice crystals off her back. "Cheee..." The bird called again, its call fading away with a gust of icy wind. "Bird! Where are you? I'll help you."She called back, the frosted wind stinging her eyes to tears and whipping her voice away, as if it had been there. She soon found the bird, half frozen, nearly a birdsicle. It was a young gyrfalcon, its black and white wings splayed out and its slick head feathers coated in frost crystals. It was still breathing. She quickly and carefully lifted it, holding it to her chest to give it warmth. And with this, she fell asleep, cold but happy,
feeling the life force of the falcon, grow warmer and stronger.
Chapter 3: Ice
Polaire stirred, the awoke, startled to not feel the falcon laying against her. She then noticed she was in a sled,
with a stack of blankets on her.

Name: Aurek
Gender: Female
Fact: The colors you see are the result of high energy particles interacting with nitrogen and oxygen ions in the upper atmosphere where auroras occur.
Character Writing:
Aurek checked her watch again, and tapped her claws against the table. A song danced in her head, just itching to get out. There weren't any scraps of paper around her to write down the notes that swirled in her head and swam before her eyes. She had always wanted to be a songwriter, and she was quite good at it, too. However, the other skills that went hand in hand with her musical ability had all but made it impossible for her to seek out a career in music.

She checked the her watch, again, for the tenth time that minute. The door to the interviewer's office opened. She was next in line and she gracefully stood up and entered. The interviewee before her had been human, and there was a quick and efficient change of seating so she could sit for interview. The woman that sat across from her had her application in hand. The interview went smoothly, but the entire time Aurek wanted to leave, but she was too polite and needed this job too badly to let it show. When it was over, she went to a cafe down the street from the huge office building.

To her, the building was both beautiful, and the epitome of what it meant to have money. The building arched gracefully to the other block. She could see the office workers going back and forth between the two sides of the building like worker bees. She knew that on every single floor was solid marble or marble tile. There were even some decorative pieces she suspected were real gold. Everything spoke of money. Normally, she wouldn't be looking for employment from a company such as this, but she was overqualified for many other positions. That almost always meant she got no return calls, let alone interviews.

She sighed and took a sip of her coffee. She was glad that this cafe had places for a viscet to actually sit up off the ground. Most cafes didn't bother with more than one booth, or something similar. They usually had tables with the customary cushions. At least the cushions had a material on the floor side to keep it from sliding around. She resisted the desire to spin back and forth on the stool; if it squeaked she didn't want to irritate the other patrons. That's when she saw another viscet cross the street towards the cafe. He had left the main building, and was busy chatting into an earpiece.

She watched as he walked to the pick up line. Apparently he was a regular because the baristas quickly found his drink and handed it to him. She was mildly surprised when he honestly thanked them and went to sit a few stools down from her. Aurek wanted to stare at the other viscet, but she made do with small glances from the corner of her eye. That was when she noticed the bandanna tightly wound around his wrist. She gawked at such a personal item on someone who seemed to be ranked fairly high in the company. Everything else about him screamed professional, and the white markings on his face only added to him.

Another viscet came into the cafe, with an elementary school aged viscling in tow. The viscling hopped up onto the stool next to the other viscet. She prepared for some sort of outburst, but instead saw him ruffle the main of the viscling before wrapping him in a hug. Her jaw dropped. The viscling giggled at her before wiggling out of who she now realized was his father.

"You look really pretty, Miss!" he nearly sang.

If she had been human, her cheeks would be red. She thanked him and quickly turned to look very intently at the far wall. She could hear the sound of one of them getting off a stool, and now padding towards her. She risked a glance over and saw the viscet Hop on the stool next to her. She looked around for the viscet that had come in with the viscling, but couldn't see them.

"So, did you have an interview today?" he asked.

She nearly jumped when he spoke," yes, I did. How did you know?"

"I've never seen you before. There aren't a lot of viscets working here, despite how hard my superiors try to hire more for their inclusiveness campaign. What position were you going for, if I may ask?" he said.

She kept stirring her coffee, and realized she had been stirring it almost nonstop since he came in; she stopped.

"Not exactly a position, but as a lawyer. I think they said I'd be on call, and would work with their regular group if needed," she said, hoping he wouldn't ask anymore, but she still wanted to talk.

He nodded his head, "Well, I wish you luck. These interviews are competitive. Depending on your resume, and where you got your degree, could really hurt or help your chances. Past employment, too. They're really digging into their inclusiveness campaign. Which may just end up excluding very capable people," he snorted.

That's when his son chose that particular moment to shove some papers in his face. She noticed music notes on some of the pages, and heard him quickly say something about band.

The viscet looked back up after calming down his child, "He's excited about the new pieces they're playing in band, he has a concert coming here in a few weeks. Oh, I never caught your name? My name is Njord."

"My name is Aurek," she said, extending a paw. She tried to hide her intrigue about the music, but she failed.

The viscling came up to her, and asked her if she knew hot to read music. To his surprise, she said yes. That's when he went on about how his father didn't know how to read music at all and that aunt Eli was always sending him new stuff to read, and wouldn't she like to read his new music? She laughed at his excitement, and said that she'd gladly read his new music. She didn't see it, but Njord gave her an approving eye.

She didn't get the job, but she still met up with Njord for coffee at least once a week. He used his connections to find her a place at a local firm. Every night when she got home she wrote down the music that danced and sang in her head, because now there was someone else to share it with. Kurt, Njord's son, was an avid music lover. They both got along very well, and she even got him a piano. Njord had balked when she told him the price, but she assured him it was no trouble. They spent the rest of the evening listening to Kurt play different songs on the piano. That was how one of the best friendships of her life came to be.

In more superstitious times, the northern lights were thought to be a harbinger of war or destruction, before people really understood what causes them.
Username- Abraxis
Name- Deviless Bellatrix
(Mate of Tronis (Her Devil))
Gender- Female

The most common aurora colour which is green, is produced by oxygen molecules located about 60 miles above the earth. The rarer red auroras are produced by high-altitude oxygen, at heights of up to 200 miles. Nitrogen produces blue or purple aurora.
Character Writing-
Bellatrix is one of the two last viscets you want to cross paths with, while the absolute last is her mate Tronis. These two are the devil, deviless of all existence there is no evil more powerful, more threatening than them. They have conquered Vigintillions upon Centillion of universes, and together they have conquered and destroyed nineteen trillion realms. Alone they have individually conquered and destroyed undecillion universes, as well as two hundred fifty million realms individually. Deviless Bellatrix and Devil Tronis have survived so many battles, wars that their names have spread all through-out every realm, existence. They are the most heavily feared villains to ever exist. Being a couple makes them that much more threatening, dangerous, feared. Bellatrix will waste no time tormenting her enemies in most fights, while in others she likes to show just how superior she is over her enemies.

She was once a happy young viceling, who was loved by most, besides those that knew believed that she would bring total destruction upon them. She would always be playing with her family, friends. Always having her adorable smile on hand. As she became older she began to train, and notice that she had very strange powers. When she decided to head north to visit Lord Mason, she decided that she was going to train under his watch. While Mason was training her to be a powerful warrior, he too noticed that she indeed had strange powers. When he looked up he noticed lights in the sky above them.

"Bella, how are you doing this? I've never seen these lights before in my life. I noticed strange lights coming from outside my bedroom window but when I looked out, there was nothing but a strange light becoming dimmer until it vanished. And this was but a few days ago."
She looks up at the sky.
"These lights are what made me decide to come here, to train under your wing."
"Ah, I see. I'm not sure how we can manifest your power to help you fight exactly since every power user I've encountered has had a different power than all of the previous users. But surely we can figure out something."
She smiles.
"Thank you, Lord Mason!"
He laughs.
"There's no need to thank me, Bella, this is simply what I do. Help others understand their powers, abilities, even if I know very little about the power itself."
"My mother told me, that the day I was born an aurora appeared in the sky. It wasn't like any normal aurora, it became super compressed as if it was about to do something special. Wich it did do, the aurora stayed high up above us, changing colors while going around in circles above us. She had said that once I opened my eyes, she saw that my eyes were changing color as if my eyes were the aurora itself. Within a matter of seconds it started to rush straight for me, it became part of who i am, as well as how I appear to others."
He tilts his head.
"I see, there must be a reason why it decided to fuse with your body."
She tilts his head.
"It wasn't acting on its own. Apparently, it was part of a prophecy, that one day. Someone would be born, and become one with an aurora. I can't recall the rest of the prophecy, for before I could finish reading. The book it was being kept in was taken from me, by our elders."
"I wonder if the elders knew of something, about the future. Didn't want whatever it was to come true."
She shakes her head.
"I doubt it, seemed like they were hiding something from me."
All of a sudden she appears to shut down as if she was robotic. Within herself, is the real Bellatrix who has been getting stronger the entire time the elders locked her away, in a prison made in her own body..
"Mason, you must run. She is coming, i have done all i could to fight her but these last few days have been incredibly tough to fight her. I need you to run before she..."
"Well, hello there Mason. I see she was trying to learn how to control my power, to better be able to control me. Ha! As if a mere pest could unleash my full might!"
Bellatrix begins to open her eyes, looks straight at Mason. With eyes full of pure rage.
"Bella, i want to help you."

A large aurora begins to appear outside above Mason's kingdom.
"What in the world, Bella! You don't have to do this! Me and my people just want to help! Bella!"
"I do not care, this world, this realm, shall fall into darkness and a new era shall begin. An era full of darkness, and evil."
"I'm sorry Bella, but i can't allow this. I am a member of the high council, and i will use everything i have to defeat you."
Mason begins to engulf his fists with his own fire, shortly after he surrounds himself in an aura of flame.
Bella releases an Aurora beam from her mouth, which goes straight through Mason. But it doesn't kill him, it simply passes through him, as if he is made of fire itself.
Mason grins, Bella growls.
Mason makes flames shoot out of his mouth, while Bella shoots her aurora beam again, but this time amplifies its frequency to make it more powerful. As well as make it to where it can damage him, so that way his flames can't protect him from damage as much. Bella makes the aurora fill the ceiling above them, vanishes from his sight. Masons fire breath ends up shooting out the window. Everyone nearby looks up to see the flames, recognizes them as Masons. The guards immediately rush to his quarters. Bash there way through the door, to be met with Bella grinning right in their faces. The guards are all spooked. Charles, who is Mason's right hand, warps in beside him just as the guards meet the end of their lives by an aurora strike (an aurora version of several large lightning bolts).

"What the hell, i just got here, and already i can't see. damnit who did..."
Bella slams her left paw into his gut, he slowly backs up, holding his paws against his gut.
"Damnit this hurts... Whoever just hit me you sure do know how to land a cheap shot."
As he recovers his vision, he begins to see everything that's going on.
"So your the one that my master is having trouble with. I'm not surprised, your power is well beyond both of ours."
"Yes, i noticed. She has just re-awakened so she is releasing more of her power over time."
"You two, are beginning to bore me with you jibber jabber nonsense. I suppose i might as well end this now."
A transmission for Mason begins to play on the transponder.
"Mason, readings are showing an incredibly powerful entity in your vicinity, do you have eyes on the suspect?"
"Yes, i have eyes on her. Her name is Bellatrix, the elders of her village put something in her mind to control both her and her power. But now Bella has broken free from her own prison and is on a rampage. I'm sorry i couldn't notify headquarters, i had my hands tied dealing with her. Her power is well beyond my comprehension, getting a read on it is impossible."
Bella keeps increasing her speed, and power as if both are infinite. She quickly ends Charles life in an instant, without anyone even seeing what happened.
Mason stands there in shock, with sweat pouring down his entire body. As if he just ran around the planet thirty thousand times.
"Mason, what's the current situation. Mason!"
He doesn't respond.
Instead, Bella kicks his chest, forcing him to fall backwards, with the transponder falling into her paws.
"Yeah, hello, this is Bellatrix. I'm going to end Mason's life now, and there isn't anything you can possibly do to stop me. If you even think of warping him away from me, i will be warping alongside him to exterminate everyone there as well."
"Are you threatening us!?! Do you have any clue who we are!?! Who our leader is!?!"
"I don't know who he is, nor do i care. But i do know this, none of you are anywhere close to being as powerful as i am. The aurora that struck my body when i was born, apparently had some secret power, ability locked away within it. Apparently, it also had its own conscious. It told, and taught me everything i know today, and much more. Even as we speak it continues to teach, train me. For without it, i would not have been able to escape that prison, and without me, it wouldn't be able to teach anyone, nor feel alive once more.

Aurora borealis', the lights of the northern hemisphere, means 'dawn of the north'.
Extra-
The entity that was in the aurora, that has joined bodies with me, goes by Trix. While i have always been called Bella. I was the perfect candidate for Trix. From what she has told me. And the only one able to manifest her power, since she was killed long ago. But when we are working together to fight, we go by Bellatrix.
"We want to help you Bella. Let us help you."
She aims her paw right at Mason, charges up an aurora beam.
"You say that lie one more time, i will end you right now, do you understand me?"
He shuts up. But the person she's talking to through the transponder decides to say it.
Bellatrix, launches the aurora beam for his head, kills him on impact.
"I hope you guys are happy, you got your own agent killed."
She crushes the transponder in her paws.
"Those fools, i have their locations now. What utter high council rubbish. Well, i guess it's time for us to make ourselves known Trix."
Bellatrix kicks Mason's head off the balcony, into the crowd below. Watches for a few seconds, as its people go into a panic frenzy.
"Feels good to be back in control of my own body once more. Oh, and Trix, thank you for caging everyone within the city. This will be a good warm-up for us."
Bellatrix leaps off the balcony, begins to slaughter everyone in the kingdom till no one remains.
After that, she heads to where her tribe was to end the elders. She comes to quickly realize no one is in the village beside the elders. For they ordered everyone to evacuate.

Several years later, Bellatrix becomes known as Deviless Bellatrix. After she went up against the strongest fighters in the high council. Shortly after her victory over the high council, the most powerful kingdoms of five different realms declared war against her. And although all of those five million kingdoms were the strongest of their individual universes, solar systems of the realms they were in. They were no match for Bellatrix. She didn't even have to use a tenth of her power to defeat them all. Not even against their captains, commanders. Eventually, though she crosses paths with an extraordinary fighter, one who is as evil as she is. Their name is none other than Tronis, he has been a devil ever since he was born, turned up on the most wanted list of all realms when he was only 3. Bella became the second most wanted when she was only 7 years old. Standing against either one of these two is a death wish. It doesn't matter how strong, powerful you are, Bellatrix, Tronis are in a league of their own, with no equal in power.

"Bellatrix, where shall we head to next?"
"I don't know, we already laid waste to most of the entire quadrant. What else is there to destroy, besides those in the divine sector?"
He shrugs.
"I don't know, i mean look at us. We are the two most powerful beings in all of existence, on an unstoppable path of death, destruction."
They both laugh devilishly.
Tronis sneakily charges up an energy blast, but right as he launches it. The auroral hologram disappears.
"Nice try, i was expecting you to try something."
He laughs.
"That's good, i like your keen senses."
She smiles, launches an auroral beam straight for his head. Tronis doesn't bother trying to counter or dodge. He just decides to straight up tank the explosion
"I love how powerful you really are."
Tronis smirks happily.
The type of collision also makes a difference to the colors that appear in the sky: atomic nitrogen causes blue displays, while molecular nitrogen results in purple.
