  3. Thanks to:
    Nessa; I think most would use the word 'Aura' more 'conventionally'.
    Aayushi; In medical terms 'Aura' is a condition experienced before a seizure - an icy chill, accompanied by blinding flashes of light.

  11. Thanks to:
    Mojo; You could be right, but I'll leave it as it is.
    Loch Rob; 'Intice', or perhaps 'Entice' would be a good substitute for 'Herald'.
    Carina; Haiku is an appropriate way of expressing many things in few words.
