Master Of None

The earth proved to be the easiest yet again for Walker. A small spike easily rose from the ground with minimal mana from him. Next Walker held it and began to manipulate it like clay in to the form of the basic arrow that Gil held. All in all the fins were nearly exact when it came to comparison. The weight proved to be the issue. When Walker formed the arrow heads, he was compressing them to be sharper. Yet this was also causing the problem of making them heavier.

O know if it isn’t heavy that they will fly straight. But if I don’t condense the arrow head then they will not pierce something. I don’t want you to hold an arrowhead that will just shatter when it hits anything slightly tougher.” Walker was focusing on the form and making sure the shape was exact.

”Then don’t focus on the shape completely. If you can’t make it so that the weight is the same then change it. This is a basic arrow and a template for a design. What if you change it to not have an arrow head at all. Just make the end a very condensed spike. With my aim, If I aim for armor or spaces in scales then I will be able to hit it better. It means the rest of the arrow and the fins need to be better balanced but that’s easy.” Gil had watched the same arrow be formed multiple times. He was going to let Walker attempt to keep the same since it was comfortable when fired. Yet, if he changed it and had to adjust to a different arrow that was fin too. What kind of archer couldn’t adjust to multiple forms of arrows in a battle?

”That’s what I will do then. I think the earth is just difficult because of the way that the ground is here. I can’t miraculously change the characteristics of the earth around me to make the arrow head metal, the base stone, and the fins copper.” Walker realized he had been trying to do the impossible. As soon as he started to change the shape he could condense it very well in to a spike that had six fins. ”I’m going to make the fins angled so the arrow spins and stays straight better. I saw some arrows like that when we were in the forest elf city.”

”Perfect! I wasn’t even thinking about that. It should help with balance too.” The idea seemed to work perfectly. Gil fired the first one and saw the spin but it was slightly off. Walker quickly saw the issue and formed another. After seven in a row that flew straight, Gil was over the moon. ”Think we should move on to water? You can make ice arrows. They will be weaker in strength but I think they will be better at causing bleeding when they melt. Good for large armored monsters that we can’t take down immediately anyway.”

”So they are just going to make arrows the entire time they walk?” Remey was walking next to Alice and Su trying to make sense of why the two boys were so entranced by making arrows out of elements around them. Yes, they were getting a feeling for the improvements that Walker had after meditating properly and discovering his problems within his body. But this was still burning in Remey’s opinion.

”I can do that.” Su and Remey both looked at Alice who spoke then started humming. When she hit the right note, Alice began to sing about the arrows of the moon falling upon those who do not enjoy its beauty. The single phrase was enough to cause light to form in to ten condensed arrows in front of her. She had to be just as much a poet as a singer to make such things happen while singing. It was always inspiring.

”Well, that was interesting. I wonder how long she had thought of that song or if she is making it up right now?” Su was amazed that Alice had suddenly stopped and done something like that. Her silence had been to think of this and develop a new way of using her skills. When Alice reached Walker and Gil, Walker partnered with her to take the light elemental arrow out of the air and solidify it more. The two of them together made a condensed light elemental arrow that was strong enough to pierce the shadows. Gil seemed very invigorated seeing this since he wasn’t sure it would be possible to efficiently make light elemental arrows that would dissipate extremely fast.

”Hmpf, they can worry about their arrows all they want. I am going to have Midnight challenge me to a game of tag so I can work on dodging.” Su looked at Midnight practicing her flying nearby by jumping and flapping her wings in less and less flaps to get to the top of the massive carriage.

”I will come too. I always deflect and block. Dodging should be on my to do list.” Su decided to get better control of her own body as well. She had felt a little off in her own skin after the fever. It was clear to her that she was getting more and more balanced with the dragon blood in her body. If she did not take the proper care to relate to it and understand it then her body might be foreign to her all together.

The ensuing game of tag made those marching wonder what was happening. The party was split up making arrows and also playing tag. However, through all these motions and training, the party was staying in pace with the march. The march was not slow at all. It was an entirely odd way to show that the party was leaps and bounds ahead of what would be expected from those of their age.
