Master Of None

”Small problem? You already solved it? How could you have already solved it? The fields are still blackened and ashyQ” Walker was now questioning what the king was saying or if the king was actually the king at all. The change in clothing and the decree that he had already solved the food issue made him very suspicious. 

”Ha! I knew you would be skeptical.” The king looked at every party member and saw the same confused and quizzical look as Walker had on his face. ”Just go outside. Bt my estimate you should be seeing the first of the coming deliveries. It cost us a decent amount but it is why we have allies.” 

”What is he talking about?” Remey was the first to break the silence as the entire party moved out toward the open square of the cathedral. They had their attention drawn by the commotion at the cathedral entrance but had just assumed it was a last minute injury. Now they were not so sure since they found a group of people looking straight up at the sky. 

When Walker looked up he found that he was not looking at the pure light griffin that had been taking everyone’s attention. Instead of the griffin, there was a massive hawk descending towards the open square. 

”You all see the giant hawk right? It’s not just me?” Gil had never seen such a massive hawk in his life and thought that he might be seeing things. The light from the griffin may have messed up his eyesight after all. 

”No, I see the goliath hawk as well. They are monsters that live in the deserts on the other side of the mountains.” Su was still amazed by the sight but was able to answer with the knowledge she had. She had come out on top with her knowledge once again and Walker made sure to store it away in his mind for later use. 

Midnight let out a soft growl until she began to bounce aro d happily. She could smell something familiar and had already told Onyx not to spoil the surprise. Walker looked at her but felt his attention pulled back to the goliath hawk. 

The wind was kicked up as the white belly of the hawk came lower and lower. The large sharp sand yellow talons came down on the stone and the wings ceased to flap. The person on the back of the hawk was all too familiar and perfectly explained why Midnight was so excited. 

Before Walker could call out another shape flew down and landed next to the hawk accompanied by a very small shadow hopping out from under the goliath hawk. ”You don’t know how much trouble you have caused me the last few weeks.” 

Elise had hopped off the hawk and was standing next to Stella and the little crow which had grown much larger than the last time they had seen it. ”First I heard the heroes were at the dwarf city saving the from slimes. I gathered up a bunch of new tamers to try and contract one of those yellow slimes. Then I get there and find out you are already gone.”

Elise and Stella were walking over to the party while she rambled on, ”Then I ask around and apparently you told them you would stop by the tamers’ branch there but ended up heading home instead because you were homesick. Next, I get back to the demi-human branch and get told to turn back around because I am marking the path for the goliath hawks to transport emergency rations from the store houses for the demi-human kingdom.” Elise ended up right in front of the party with a massive smile plastered on her face. 

 ”It’s very nice to see you again Elise and Stella. And you are still as adorable as the last time we saw you.” The little crow cawed softly at Su while Su knelt to pet it. 

”I bet you all have some good stories to tell me, right? I want to hear all about them. But I need to head inside and give this scroll to your king. I was wondering why I was told to look for the cathedral but they are right. It is the best place to land. Oh, and that griffon was beautiful. I wish they lived in this place. But you know what they say. A summoner brings summoned monsters from elemental dimensions and a tamer bonds with existent monsters in their own dimension.” Elise rolled her eyes and jogged inside the cathedral. 

Midnight and Onyx were next to Stella in a flash. The crow was a little more fearful since it was still young and not used to many people. Luckily, the crowd of onlookers was focused on the goliath hawk and not on Stella. She was a harpy and it was odd for one to be around but the goliath hawk was much more to look at. 

”Alright, that is that. He didn’t loo angry that I wanted to come back out here. Your king is pretty nice. He told me to make sure I was able to rest and spend time catching up.” Elise was very happy to have met the king but happier to see her friends. 

”Gil, why are you looking at Elise so weird?” Remey had caught Gil staring at Elise a little lost. ”You know Alma might get jealous, right?” Remey needed to tease him a little though. 

”No no, it’s nothing like that. I just realized we know two Elise’s now. One that is a tamer and one that is an elf who can speak with spirits. Pretty crazy right? If they ever meet we can just say hey Elise, and we will have both their attentions.” Gil laughed a little but he had caught Elise’s attention. 

”You met another Elise!? I want to hear everything about my elf twin!”
