Master Of None

”Draconic? You are a guardian of dragons? Wait, the dragon in your party, is it a single elemental affinity dragon? Or multiple?” Bree rattled off these questions wanting to know everything. 

”She has a darkness elemental affinity within her.” Walker left it at that and didn’t explain further. This gave Bree the misunderstanding that Midnight only had one affinity. It confused her since every spirit reacted to her in some way that would have signaled something to do with every element.

”Well the darkness elemental spirit did react the most strongly, and if you spent a lot of time guarding a darkness affinity dragon then it makes sense,” Bree mumbled softer and softer about things that made sense.

”I’m sorry, but we are a bit lost again.” Su was very confused about what this all had to do with the new system she had. 

”I should probably share a little more then. Normally draconic guardians are members of the mountain villages tasked with guarding young dragon hatchlings. They tend to gain elemental affinities that match the dragon they guard. I just can’t fully understand how you would have the system when you should have had the system before meeting a younger dragon. You also have the residue of multiple elements with the darkness element just slightly stronger. I am very confused myself.” 

Walker and Su tensed up a little making Bree stop her thoughts in their tracks. She realized that she might not be getting the entire truth, but if she wasn’t she knew there was a reason. ”I see, then I won’t bother with it anymore. Just know that from what I have read and learned from the rock dwelling elves who have long locked themselves away in the caves of the high mountains, that the draconic guardian system has elemental affinities. You should focus on learning about the elements as well as defensive skills.” 

”Thank you for your advice. However, I will learn of the elements whether I like it or not. I have a certain party leader that experiments with elemental magic often.” Su relaxed a little but was far from dropping her guard.

”That is good then. I hope I did not pry too much. It is rare to have those with information I do not know these days. Well, I guess the more races that start to visit the more I will encounter. How much have we been missing.” Bree trailed off while the spirits realized the watchful eye on them had disappeared.

They rushed to Walker and Su and the two of them could feel the constant poking and prodding. Walker could sense the small waves of different elemental manas but had no idea how to understand them. 

He watched as the full water spirit stopped and was looking intently at the dormant full water spirit. It was very intrigued by the spirit at rest and soon every spirit was looking at it. None of them dared to touch it but the constant waves of elemental mana made Walker feel that there was more going on, almost like they were whispering secrets to it. 

Bree snapped out of her dazed thoughts as she had just heard something ridiculous. ”You all need to stop saying those things to that little spirit. It is trying to rest, how would you all feel being woken up by such things. It will go where it wishes and it can’t be forced.” 

”Do we want to know?” Walker was a little curious but he wasn’t sure he should ask. 

”No they are just saying foolish things about coming here with them and traveling the world. They are just trouble makers.” The spirits rushed and hid around the shop like scolded children, the waves of mana they let out toward each other erratic.

”Let me finish your order and then I can send you on your way. For once I have some work to do with dual elemental crystals. I also want to think about the things we spoke about, I won’t go blabbing about it but I will be here waiting for your next visit.” Bree moved to box up the crystals while the two watched. 

The crates were soon filled and in front of them, there were many more than they had expected. ”If you are looking for something that will act as a good material to bond all of the crystals you may want to have your eye out for some petrified wisteria branch. It is a little rare and useless for anything but small wands, but I hear there are some with skills to turn them in to unique staffs. Especially when unique crafting skills are used.” Bree said this knowingly, he had an idea that the light and dark mages had spoken of his crystal crafting skill.

”Then I will be looking for them before I leave or while I travel.” Walker thanked her and stored the chests while pulling out his gold. Su helped him count out a much lower amount of gold than they expected and then headed out the door. 

”Everything that could cost thousands of gold only costs hundreds. Everything that could cost hundreds is tens. The city will be booming if we don’t hold people back.” Walker could only express the worry of how many people would swarm the entire city for the low prices when it came to what they thought were exceedingly rare materials. 

”I am less worried about the gold problems the city will face than the fact that miss Bree was easily guessing things about our little dragon.” Su could tell Bree grasped more than they caught in to. ”How many others do you think noticed?”

”If anything is a problem it would be the systems, for all we know there could be a dragon with a quest to come here and find her. But we need to just lay low and wait. We can’t stress about it forever. We were lucky here, once we make it to the dwarven city in their small kingdom we can try to glean some information on the dragons since they are close by.”
