Master Of None

”You really started something big there, huh? I was relaxing and enjoying learning more about the elven archery techniques and then this all happened. Zephyr is even more excited and rushed off to tell the new wind spirits about everything.” Gil had managed to find Walker after this large event. He was certain that Walker would say more.

”Well, I was working on the theories and puzzles we have to deal with to figure it all out. Is actually understand things a lot more. The corrupted mana is just chaotic mana without any balance. I can’t even manipulate it because I don’t know how it really works at all.”

”Then the natural mana can somewhat counter and repel it because that’s the main mana in the world. How the manas balance. So it’s more balanced against unbalanced mana. But the elemental spirits helped with that since the world was weaker because of the demon lord years and years ago.”

”Now that we fixed some things, the spirits woke up and we woke them up. But the grand spirits still had to balance manas. That’s why they had to exist. But it’s still changing. We are helping the world return to the flow it should have and now they don’t have to be pillars of balanced manas.”

”Basically, the elemental spirits were free from their roles since the world is stronger now. Basically, that means they were free to fully become a race when they had developed the right number of them. That’s the spirit race. And yes, they are still very close to the world. Similar to the echidna but a little different.”

This long rant was somehow unending to Gil. he had no idea what Walker had been up to and this was all out of context for him. He wondered just what Walker was doing to have these ideas and what else he had learned.

”I know I am out of the loop, but what else is there to do now? Can I just hang out and celebrate with the others? Or do I have to meet your new undead and plant friend?” it was clear that Gil had misunderstood the two spirits moving around Walker. They were still acting curious but not speaking a word.

”This is a death spirit. The only one that stayed behind. And this is a life spirit, the only one that stayed around. I think they are curious about everything but also sensed that I could pull a little wisp of those manas in toward them. I feel like there were other spirits there too but I can’t comprehend them enough. There was definitely a space spirit. I swear.”

These were all based on Walker’s instincts. Overall, he had no idea if there was actually more. But in his mind, there had to be. No other way that the spirits hadn’t gone dormant or weren’t in the world at all. Regardless, he was clearly strong enough in understanding to attract said manas to a degree to help the spirits awaken.

”I just wonder when they will start to speak more and make their own names. What kind of systems they will have. They can still form bonds like we have with spirit marks, they can still help control golems, but they can do more now. I have a good feeling about it all.” Walker also thought about the systems that already relied on the spirit race that would change or grow.

”The more you dig this hole, the more you are going to be buried in it. You know that, right?” Gil was laughing because he knew that Walker was still well in to his own head. This could go one forever too. But it was all a good thing.

”Just because I am making big events, doesn’t mean that I need to slow down or hold up. you’re the one who caused the last big stir through the city. Mr., I am going to marry the first elf queen of all elves because I am a hero that the elven race recognizes and respects.”

The mocking tone was just enough to make Gil take his best Remey style punch to Walker’s shoulder. But the two were laughing like fools while they moved through the crowds. ”You know that some of the images are trying to convince the spirits to teach them magic. One guy even said he would purposefully stop everything he had done before to learn fresh. It’s a good idea. If Zephyr didn’t show me my wind affinity, I would have been way behind the rest of our party.”

Gil’s point was clear. This was also one thing Walker was excited for. ”They are made up of their own mana. They are unique for a reason. If they start to teach, then everyone will grow along with them while they learn the other race’s ways. It’s Genesis after all.” Walker smiled a little more knowing that they were a part of how this all came to be.

”Did you really need to make so much trouble? I was just meditating as I needed to before leaving for the Sigil continent again. And here you caused so much chaos for mana. My elder dragons are very unhappy to not come and celebrate.” Mordant appear from the shadows. His elder dragon with a dragonkin form by his side.

”Well, the celebration will extend to the outside edges of Genesis. If they are careful of the farms, then they can come eat and enjoy too. Plus, the farmers might like their attention since the farmers usually stay outside the walls to care for the crops.” Walker saw this as an opportunity.

The farmers were very strict with their crops. Therefore, meeting the dragons that would be creating their villages outside the farms would help unite the two before the dragons entered the city. It was a good way to smooth the knowledge gap between them.

”Ah, thinking ahead again. Fine with me. But my partner has also left. Apparently, he sensed some shadows that were new and needed guidance. I can not hold him in one place.” Mordant looked a little sad. But the spirit mark was still there. He had a bond with the grand darkness spirit. They would not be apart forever. They both lived extremely long lives.

”Go and pass this on to your fellow elders. Let them know that there will be food brought to them. Genesis dishes that they had never thought they would taste yet. I assume that the farmers may share some home brewed alcohol. It is a very unique family delicacy that they sip in small amounts.”

This was a thing that the farmers from the demi-human kingdom brought over. A habit of making their own unique wines. A small but was a nice flavor and varied from farmer to farmer based on their family and what they grew. Walker had no interest, but the dragons had all taken some liking to such things since they rarely had such things in their village.

”Well now it will be a real party!” Gil was joking a bit since he was surprised that the dragons would want to be involved so quickly.

”I take it that you also came to tell us that you were really leaving for the darkness dominator dragon ruins?” Mordant nodded slightly to Walker.

”I sent some others to search for it. We actually traveled near it and my dragonkin managed to discover the hidden entrance. It appears that a few of the monsters in the caves found it and use it as a nest. Their mana made it harder to sense. But I will be handling it. I will come back sooner than you may expect.” Mordant was gone in to the shadows after this.

”It think he will be the strongest of the royal dragon by then. Just a feeling.” Walker knew how close Mordant was to being able to step in to the darkness elemental plane. This closeness meant that he had reached the top of a royal dragon. But the next step wasn’t to go to the elemental plane where he would be a weak monster. He had to become a dominator dragon first. The missing step.

”That’s pretty much every dragon now. Right? The last before Mordant was Rise and she took Su with her. I wonder how Su is doing?” Gil was a little worried. He knew that Su was tougher than all of them. But she was their family. They would always worry to some degree.

”If anything bad happens they will let us know. But I have a feeling that Su is rediscovering her instincts and what she really is now that she has such a powerful bond with a dragon. I trust her and Rise to come back stronger than ever.” Walker’s pride seemed to light up the streets while he and Gil kept messing around and enjoying the upbeat atmosphere.
