Y’know, I don’t know that actually? All I know are these growing/shrinking concentric rings of light and darkness. Shrinking, I think, but I can’t seem to reproduce the effect right now.
I only ever get green patches. To answer the original questions some shade of pastel orange that is not red, with an aggressive vibe, but a nice orange evoking a sort of mysticism.
Yes this, patches or rings depending on what I was looking at before I shut my eyes; never pastel for me though. Very dark in there! I expect some of that is because physically, bright light hurts me and so I think of darkness as more soothing.
An empty black void that turns white when talking to good spirits, black when talking to evil ones, gray when I’m in charge, and the colour of a persons soul when I know them
Pale whites with translucent glowing figures against bright white background. I think more of the spirit realm rather than the underground. (@Darth P you make me chuckle!) (smilely face)
My soothing Ghost dimension is probably underwater, specifically in a small lake. That means it would be blue, with white sand and brown kelp. This because underwater is the quietest place I can think of off the top of my head.
Probably a light purple with darker ones mixed in. Or, alternatively, it looks like the spooky dimension that I made up for my personal novel, with blues, purples, pinks, and reds all swirled together.
I think my spooky ghost dimension is like a little magical clearing surrounded by trees. There are a lot of greens and some blacks. Also little floaty yellow lights, and the floor is moss. Just…moss
Soft ambient white without shadows, and I float in solitude. There, I pick my form and my setting, and the light fades to reveal whatever it is I’m imagining. This is how I do most of my writing, or at least the planning for it.
probably the same color as this one, i lovee love love blue it just relaxes me so much. to be more original, another answer i think a brownish green would bee soothing too!!!
It’s probably more a Victorian study filled with books that can be opened to learn things that I’ve forgotten. Basically, the Eighth Doctor’s TARDIS console room.
If it is hard, well really, what’s it to ya?
Whatever battles he must fight
There will be someone by his side
Through holy and through broken hallelujah
I do not know whether answering to this violates some Aurora Question Rule or so but yes. Erin. Erin, always and forever. 🙂 I mean, I live everyone and everything deeply, but he hits different.
Erin is also my favorite, followed by Tess. But I thoroughly enjoy the whole story. The only downside si that I keep running uot of story. Thankfully Red is continually making more.
This is just pure awesome in every sense. Kendal finally found a motivation and finally internalized that he isn’t alone. This page made me tear up; kudos for that.
One half of my brain is getting flashbacks of watching The Sword in the Stone from years ago; the other half is getting Legend of Zelda drawing the Master Sword vibes.
“I won’t be alone”. I hope this means he will rely on his friend for support and help; he spent a good part of the Tynan fight trying to get them to go away and leave it between him and the storm god.
Not only is he going to wake up, he’s going to do so with a smile and renewed determination to both complete his mission and live his life. Now, how quickly will that smile fade when he learns of the state the rest of the gang is in?
I do compose music for my own purposes, and I have a really emotional melody in Eb minor in mind for this as Kendal’s character theme. It would be played in a triumphant manner here, with strings playing the melody and brass forming the harmony, and in fact, after only hearing fragments throughout Kendal’s earlier moments of arc 1 that line up with what he wants to do, this would be the first time that the whole melody plays all the way through, to match Kendal figuring himself out and wanting to keep living for the first time in his life.
Of course, since there isn’t an animated adaptation of Aurora in the works (yet), I think I’ll appropriate that piece as a theme for one of my own stories’ protagonists.
Yeah well, mental health can never come too early. Plus, the few weeks between now and his birth have already been filled with enough trauma. Kendal deserves it.
speaking of Kendal (the sword) it occurs to me that its unusually thin, smooth hilt could be interpreted as evidence of its divine provenance. Vash didn’t need to make it ergonomic as he didn’t interact with it as an object outside himself but rather as a part of him, of his domain. That he could wield it was as natural as that he could use the arm it had once replaced.
Man, I’ve missed Kendal. I didn’t really realize it until he showed up again. I wonder what he’ll think about Tess being there when he wakes up instead of the other party members he’s much more familiar with. I imagine it might go something like this:
Kendal: Oh, hey Tess… Where’s everyone else…?
Tess: They said something about a “zombie dungeon fun-time adventure” and went off
Gosh this whole arc is so freaking pretty, i wish Kendal stayed dead(?) forever /j no but fr this is so emotionally powerful for him bringing back the people of cash to reassure Kendal of his identity and his purpose i’m not crying you are
Also is anyone else having trouble commenting?? Maybe it’s because I’m so late but on mobile whenever i scrolled down to the bottom it kept going back 1 and 2 pages, I’m typing this on desktop but even then i still have to scroll down slowly or the same problem will persist
I… I think my soothing ghost dimension would be some kind of deep DEEP purple full of mist so thick you can lay on it. Something about that just feels right in my head.
I think it’s because they’re still bound to Vash, so their souls aren’t free. Making them still carry the same injuries they had just before they died indicates that they still have some kind of connection to the mortal world and possibly to their bodies.
For mobile readers.

Aurora Question #83: What colour is your soothing Ghost dimension?
You know when you close your eyes and there’s like those moving batches of red or green or purple? Exactly that, but it’s pastel colors.
Y’know, I don’t know that actually? All I know are these growing/shrinking concentric rings of light and darkness. Shrinking, I think, but I can’t seem to reproduce the effect right now.
I only ever get green patches. To answer the original questions some shade of pastel orange that is not red, with an aggressive vibe, but a nice orange evoking a sort of mysticism.
“FOR THE HONOR OF GRAYSKULL!”
He’s got the hair going already
Yes this, patches or rings depending on what I was looking at before I shut my eyes; never pastel for me though. Very dark in there! I expect some of that is because physically, bright light hurts me and so I think of darkness as more soothing.

My soothing Ghost dimension is probably underwater, specifically in a small lake. That means it would be blue, with white sand and brown kelp. This because underwater is the quietest place I can think of off the top of my head.
A shifting landscape of purple-grey mist that solidifies into scenes before dissolving back into mist when finished.
Probably a light purple with darker ones mixed in. Or, alternatively, it looks like the spooky dimension that I made up for my personal novel, with blues, purples, pinks, and reds all swirled together.
Deep reds and blues. It’d be trees and my desk probably.
I think my spooky ghost dimension is like a little magical clearing surrounded by trees. There are a lot of greens and some blacks. Also little floaty yellow lights, and the floor is moss. Just…moss
Dark void with stars and nebulas like outer space. My spooky ghosts would be like comets, swooping around leaving trails
Soft ambient white without shadows, and I float in solitude. There, I pick my form and my setting, and the light fades to reveal whatever it is I’m imagining. This is how I do most of my writing, or at least the planning for it.
probably the same color as this one, i lovee love love blue it just relaxes me so much. to be more original, another answer i think a brownish green would bee soothing too!!!
A world full of puppies and vague neon lights, all purple and fluffy
Sea Frost Green
if you’re talking about amorphous semi void place, then purple to a translucent pink that highlights a navy blue background.
It’s probably more a Victorian study filled with books that can be opened to learn things that I’ve forgotten. Basically, the Eighth Doctor’s TARDIS console room.
Green
Either purple and sparkly or grayscale
So now he has the strength to go
And with his friends defeat the foe
If it is hard, well really, what’s it to ya?
Whatever battles he must fight
There will be someone by his side
Through holy and through broken hallelujah
OOO, two goodies! (smile)
Oop, you covered both of these last two pages. One to go lol.
Anonymous Aurora Question #6: What is your favorite thing about Aurora: Like, characters dynamics, or artstyle, or plot…?
everything, all of it, the art, the characters and their respective arcs, the plotlines it’s just,, so good
Yes.
I really enjoy the world and the lore, though I wish we had more. A political map with cities and the like would be super great.
Erin.
I do not know whether answering to this violates some Aurora Question Rule or so but yes. Erin. Erin, always and forever. 🙂 I mean, I live everyone and everything deeply, but he hits different.
Erin is also my favorite, followed by Tess. But I thoroughly enjoy the whole story. The only downside si that I keep running uot of story. Thankfully Red is continually making more.
Art and character dynamics and good story telling and good lore detail! (and good quips and…)
I like the characters and their dynamics, and the lore is pretty cool. It’s just pretty neat overall.
I love the entire thing. All the minute details, the personality of the comic, the ability to theorize about it, it’s all so good.
I just read the word “personality” and agree with that. I’m just having a lot of fun here.
If I had to pick a single favourite, it would be the magic. It’s nice and visual.
Oof ouch owie my feelings
This is just pure awesome in every sense. Kendal finally found a motivation and finally internalized that he isn’t alone. This page made me tear up; kudos for that.
The first Kendal smile in a year people!
One half of my brain is getting flashbacks of watching The Sword in the Stone from years ago; the other half is getting Legend of Zelda drawing the Master Sword vibes.

Huh. It does kinda remind me of the sword in the stone if I think about it.
But this scene was really motivating!
Keep up the good work Red!
!!!!!!!!— AHAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAaaa~HOW‽‽‽‽
Excuse me, no, nonononono, this is TOO ADORABLE I CAN’T—!!!! A R T I C U L A T E–!!!
GO BE AWESOME–!!
The soundtrack here is PERFECT. The swelling, the incorporation of more than one of the themes, the –
….get someone to compose a soundtrack of Aurora plz, right now. I’m no composer, I just hear what it would sound like.
I do compose music for my own purposes, and I have a really emotional melody in Eb minor in mind for this as Kendal’s character theme. It would be played in a triumphant manner here, with strings playing the melody and brass forming the harmony, and in fact, after only hearing fragments throughout Kendal’s earlier moments of arc 1 that line up with what he wants to do, this would be the first time that the whole melody plays all the way through, to match Kendal figuring himself out and wanting to keep living for the first time in his life.

I think this is the closest Kendal has come to having good mental health in his entire life-
tbf “his entire life” only amounts to a few weeks
Yeah well, mental health can never come too early. Plus, the few weeks between now and his birth have already been filled with enough trauma. Kendal deserves it.
so does the alt text refer to Kendal or Kendal…
speaking of Kendal (the sword) it occurs to me that its unusually thin, smooth hilt could be interpreted as evidence of its divine provenance. Vash didn’t need to make it ergonomic as he didn’t interact with it as an object outside himself but rather as a part of him, of his domain. That he could wield it was as natural as that he could use the arm it had once replaced.
BY THE POWER OF VASHSKULL!
There once was a gorgeous boy
Who was made of the finest alloy.
To danger he’s prone
But he won’t be alone.
He goes forth in peace and joy.
Kendal smiling and at peace with himself is a beautiful sight.
The sword now has a permanent +10 to damage
the background characters really said: ?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️
Man, I’ve missed Kendal. I didn’t really realize it until he showed up again. I wonder what he’ll think about Tess being there when he wakes up instead of the other party members he’s much more familiar with. I imagine it might go something like this:
Kendal: Oh, hey Tess… Where’s everyone else…?
Tess: They said something about a “zombie dungeon fun-time adventure” and went off
TL;DR: King Arthur???
Oh yeah, time for a powerup.
YESS!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!¡!!! I’VE MISSED THIS MAN!!!! I can’t wait!! HE’S BACK! HE’S BACK! HE’S BACK!
“It won’t be easy”
“That’s okay. I won’t be alone”
Nothing in this comic so far has hit me as hard as those panels. Well done.
Hell yeah go Kendal!!!
So, Red, did you stay awake at night worrying that you missed a glowing eye?
I’m not crying, I just got some goop in my eyes from a few pages back is all?
Kendal (the sword) kinda looks like the sword from thunder cats.
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT?
Gosh this whole arc is so freaking pretty, i wish Kendal stayed dead(?) forever /j no but fr this is so emotionally powerful for him bringing back the people of cash to reassure Kendal of his identity and his purpose i’m not crying you are
Also is anyone else having trouble commenting?? Maybe it’s because I’m so late but on mobile whenever i scrolled down to the bottom it kept going back 1 and 2 pages, I’m typing this on desktop but even then i still have to scroll down slowly or the same problem will persist
This story is so well written. I just love Kendal so much. I mean who doesn’t?
I love this. It’s beautiful, from both a visual arts standpoint with the details and colors and from a story standpoint.
Music for this scene: “The Crystal Chamber” from Disney’s Atlantis.
I… I think my soothing ghost dimension would be some kind of deep DEEP purple full of mist so thick you can lay on it. Something about that just feels right in my head.
Why is ghost manz still wearing a bandage D:
I think it’s because they’re still bound to Vash, so their souls aren’t free. Making them still carry the same injuries they had just before they died indicates that they still have some kind of connection to the mortal world and possibly to their bodies.
Sonic Frontiers OST going HARD in my head for this bit. Specifically the start of I’m Here.
