Master Of None

”Are you dead?” There was a single question that Walker had not expected to hear. But when he opened his eyes, he found a familiar face looking down at him along with another standing nearby watching them from the door. It seemed that when the three of them had passed out, the protections the wandering blacksmith put in place had let the door open.

Walker felt a finger poke his cheek again before he could move around and gather the information he needed to even be surprised. ”Su! You’re back!” After a rush of adrenaline, he began to feel that there were more changes than he knew.

”Your eyes changed, and you have wings!... you’re a half dragon now!”

”Of course you used the all around appraisal. I didn’t even get the chance to surprise you.” Su laughed a little but felt that this was just like Walker. Passed out training somewhere. Working harder than anyone else could see.

As Walker looked around and found the wandering blacksmith asleep at a table with blueprints and a few books he had clearly been writing while forcing his mind to remain awake without mana to spare, Walker stood up. He could feel that Fleur was resting within her spirit mark and that she was exceedingly happy about their work.

”Brother?” Midnight pulled on Walker’s other arm and pointed at Alice who had also some with Su to see what was happening.

”We went to the cathedral to visit with Alice so I can show off how much stronger I got. Then came here to surprise you. But now we find you asleep again? What? Were you tired from helping the spirit race gain their natural rights? Or were you just making some weird flames that we can’t even sense or go near?” Su’s teasing seemed more energetic than what Walker expected.

It appeared that Su had more than climbed out of her shell and become a much more energetic and happier person. Not because she had gotten stronger though. Because she had accepted all that she was and taken her determination to the very core of her being. She had been able to advance herself mentally and physically. The strength she needed to protect everyone around her had finally fallen in to her hand. Now she would enjoy the bonds she had with everyone.

”I wanted to awaken them. I just thought it was right. But it went very well. Fleur can even help the younger ones take new paths if they want. But she’s pretty tired now.” Su looked at him and nodded.

”She has been hanging around you so, what else would she be doing if not working until she passed out too?” Su teased Walker again before she looked around and pointed at something floating above his head. ”So, before I share my adventure story, what’s that?”

Walker looked up and saw the last thing he had seen before passing out earlier. The eternal orb was floating above him cages in elegant metal with multiple vines of metal moving around it. The shifting and changing of manas surrounding the image of an endlessly growing and changing tree.

’Eternal codex

This is the essence of all that is mana. Almost every form of mana is represented within this and can eventually be represented within this. It is completely linked to the soul of the true hero, Walker.

Due to this, it is able to change and shift forms according to his will. It enhances all of his senses when it comes to manas and true mana. It is able to allow a path to learning other manas depending on what the starving steel is able to absorb..

The smallest breath of unknown mana has been absorbed in to the center. This allows it to be able to grow along with Walker.

The ability to gather manas and use them is greatly enhanced. Every skill related to Walker is recorded within this along with massive amounts of knowledge. It will only grow more as Walker grows.

The unknown essence that has taken root in the center can be studied through meditation and extreme events. The world has limited this item because it is unknown to it. A greater force appears to….’

Walker found that the all around appraisal failed after this. It was filled with a strong of unintelligible words that none of his skills or focus seemed to allow him to read. ”It’s...well, it was the eternal orb but now is known as the eternal codex.”

”We added unique materials to help make unique flames. The little fire spirits grew and changed it help us but I still can’t even comprehend them to be honest. Now the eternal codex has the ability to absorb manas that I didn’t even know were really there. But there’s more that the world is blocking and that a greater power is blocking. Basically, I have no idea what I made.”

”So much confidence to say that you don’t know?” Su wasn’t teasing or mocking. She was just surprised. She had never seen Walker looking at something with awe and confusion like this before.

”You can learn.” the sweet voice of Alice spoke up as he leaned on Walker a little. It was comforting enough.

”You’re right, it’s just more mystery to discover and explore. Just part of going on an adventure, right?” The air seemed to become warmer just as he spoke, Walker could sense the manas being drawn in to the eternal codex. Just enough to make him curious, but not enough to cause any worries. He would enjoy this new adventure.

Before they could say anything else, Su moved a few chairs and began to tell him her story. The fighting in the underground temple that had once been above ground. The scorpions that had caused Rise to have trouble sensing the light manas and the light dominator dragon’s knowledge left behind for her.

It was amazing to hear that she had embraced and altered herself. But even more that this was just something she had been holding herself back from. However, Walker felt that Su was always growing. Even when holding herself back, she had just been taking things on her own, step by step. Her path was clearly carved out by her and for her. No one else had done what she had.

”Take your armor.” the wandering blacksmith spoke up, shocking the three as they spoke together. He had woken up and begun writing again. New forging techniques that he had just imagined. That he was creating within his mind.

’Reflective dragon armor

This armor was made to mirror a dragon’s scale. It was made with extremely pure and valuable materials. It is both lighter weight but can be made heavier if the user allows their mana to flow within the armor’s rune formations.

multiple manas can be brought in to this armor and used to direct the flow of such mana. This allows for certain magical attacks to be deflected back at the ones that are sending the attacks at the wielder.

This can be enhanced with the shields that are paired with this armor. This is due to the highly skills craftsmanship that is forged to the certain person that these armors and shields fit. No other person can wield them after they have been properly bonded because the mana flow will cause massive backslash.

This error can only be wielded by someone with, guardian, within their class title…’

Walker read the all around appraisal and Su glanced at the armor. She was amazed by it. Shocked that it was so detailed and amazing. Each piece of metal had been forged perfectly to fit her. To deflect and channel manas.

This meant that each rune formation had been carved on each scale of the armor. Such detail was not what anyone else would be able to create this but the wandering blacksmith.

The amazing things that Su had imagined would be possible with such armor only grew as she touched it and felt her own mana perfectly flow in to the runes. She glanced at the twin shields and saw that parts to add to them were already made. That the wandering blacksmith was still finishing this amazing pair. That the twin shields and armor would be one and the same.

”It might need a new name. Maybe the dragon guardian armament?” su saw that the wandering black sith ceased his wiring for a moment before he smiled and nodded. Su would wait for that to be finished. She could tell that it would be something she would adjust and use for the rest of her life. That was just how she felt. What she understood. It was a pure and perfect match for her and her new strength.
