Master Of None

The news of the project to create a mountain began to spread like wildfire. Many people believed that they could bring something to this. An opportunity to take their names a little bigger. To shop for their unique skills. The dragonkin that had been allowed to work as they desired to grow stronger also joined to assist Terron’s dragonkin. Their solidarity was something that spurred many of the other races. Especially since theta dh all heard of the differences between the royal dragons and past battles. Eventually, as the news had spread, Terron had been forced to find more people to help manage everything. Walker and Gil could not work in that level fo things. Especially since Walker was focusing on the thing she knew about mana. How to manipulate enough of it at a weaker state than what he was used to. The reason that Walker had made that change to what he had imagined helping with was simple. Natural mana. He was one of the people with the best understanding. While Fleur had been moving around Genesis and not benign around Walker that often, she was still very interested in things like this. She also was deeply attached to Walker mentally. The spirit mark was more part of their souls than anything else. Especially when they needed to share manas. Fleur was a mystery to the spirit race itself. Because she had bonded with the will of the world and had a chance to become a world spirit, she had been thrown for a loop when the world had changed and the greater will to existence itself had melded back together with the world. Since that was the case, Fleur still was a nature spirit of sorts. Better than a grand nature spirit, but also embodied a greater form of natural mana. Closer to what Walker could manipulate than anything. This could make her one of the first and only known spirits to have broken the flow of what the spirit race could be and would ever be. Hence, she had been moving around the city and interacting with many other spirits. But, she had grown to sense that Walker needed her assistance. Therefore, they had moved to the decided site where the mountain would be raised. The two mediated while focusing on the present manas and how they would assist in guiding them. Natural mana would be ideal to help push the project faster while also allowing life mages to come and assist with boosting the growth of plants and monsters. Because they had been here for three days straight now, Walker had begun toi grow a sense of understanding about how he and Fleur had changed. While he was now an entirely different race, so was Fleur in a way. She had managed to take on some of the true mana that Walker could sense within her more solid and defined body made of mana. Due to all this, he was able to feel their bond and sense the true mana within him. Something he had been ignorant of. Could he tough it or manipulate it? Could she touch it or manipulate it? No, neither of them could do so. They Were unable to do so because of their weak understanding of true mana as a whole. Where things were more positive when it came to this though, was the fact that both of them realized that their understandings of singular manas was growing just by taking the chance to pull those mana sin to their bodies.

Since Walker had changed and become an origin race being, he was able to survive off mana alone just the same as a spirit race. It made him feel that the spirit race might have a little deeper connection to the world and existence as a whole. Regardless, he was very enlightened to find that he was able to circulate manas within him. Therefore, he was combining the natural mana in to his body and strengthening himself through meditation. This was just another example of how the world had changed. He was gaining experience just through meditation. And it was not small amount. But that was neither here nor there. The two had focused on the manas her for a deeper reason. With the assistance of multiple mages probing around, both Fleur and Walker were able to meld their senses for manas and find the best route in to the deeper earth where they could find a laval flow. Find the magma that would fill the space where the mountain would rise from. After that, it would be up to the water mages, ice mages, and a few other unique class users to cool the mountain as a whole. This would be an important step tio ensure that the mountain would not collapse. It was inevitable that the magma would flow up the mountain. The method to stop it from doing so was to use a lot of mana. Yet, if they just did that, they would limit the creation of a plateau on the top of the mountain being made. Therefore, they had to ensure that the magma did not burst out of the mountain anywhere. This would take a lot of guidance from the pair as they were focusing on the sources of manas and the flows of manas. Due to the fact that they also ended to ensure that there were no weaker sections of mana for those helping, Terron needed to be unblocked focus. He could not be distracted. Ignus knew he also had a large role to play. When Terron had come to him, he had made it clear that this could be part of creating the fire dragon village section. creating a controlled flow of lava would allow for the fire dragon area to be better than it would be if it was artificially made with runes. Terron could ensure that there were the toughest, most heat resistant rocks around the places where the lava would flow. He could also ensure that it flowed back in to the earth and continued the natural cycle of flowing lava. There would also be unique earth and fire runes that were carved by the best rune carvers. The hopes of both dragons in this case were that a certain new dragonkin rune carver would grow faster. From what they had heard, Mordant had discovered that one of the youngest and newly born dark dragonkin had a very high affinity for runes. So much so that as a youngling, the child had already begun to play with runes. Much to the dismay of those that were caring for it. This aside, Walker and Fleur began to record what they discovered. The magma mages copying things down in greater detail than what they had been able to sense earlier. ”You two have been here for three days. Take a break or else I go and get everyone else to drag you away.” Gil’s interruption made Fleur fly around the air and mock him. She was nowhere near ready to just leave. She had enjoyed this time meditating with Walker on such a deep connection to the manas around them. ”If you keep arguing with Gil and everyone that comes to bother us, they are going to stop being nice to you.” Walker found that the normally sweet Fleur had become a little spoiled. But she had been forced to rest for a while after they had fought the demon lord. And now that she had seen the world return to a natural flow, she had wanted to explore. It was the reason for the mischievous nature. He also worried that Fleur had spent a little too much time around Remey lately. ”Also, Gil, we have a lot of natural mana stored up around here. We have been drawing it in and making this entire area more dense with natural mana. Event eh eternal codex had started to revolve a little.” Walker showed Gil the orb which was slightly beginning to turn and move again. While Walker did not understand true mana yet, this was putting him on the right track. He would be able to use the eternal codex again much sooner at this rate. ”That’s actually great. You should meditate more then. Maybe you will move the mountain instead.” Gil went right to messing with Walker. But Walker wasn’t having any of that. Before Gil could react, a ball of water was tossed at his head. ”Fleur, we are going to see the others, let’s leave Gil to handle the work here.” Walker smirked as a few of the mages came over to check and see what their next task was. Gil felt duped. With all that aside, Fleur and Walker had advanced a lot helping here. So much that neither felt that they could miss the chance to head to the mage tower again. Especially with the denser manas within. …
