Master Of None

The conversations between the five of them kept going for a few hours. Walker began to look at the manas from their perspectives again. He saw how he had once looked at the elemental manas from their positions and realized that he had yet to change a few of the ways he thought. When it came to the changes in forms of manas, he had forgotten how he had used more force than understanding to meld the manas to the forms he wished. At the beginning, that had been the flaw in his thinking. Nwo that he realized it, he had to go back and think of the basics. The foundations of all learning were at some point carved in to the muscle memory of those that had trained them for many years or a higher amount of time. Walker has done so with himself to assure he could act at a moment’s notice to defend the others in his family. That meant that he still had some lingering muscle memory of force over the flow. Therefore, as he delved within his own mentality, he was able to sense where he was still pushing force over the flow. When it came to making water become ice, he exuded more mana than was normal for the process. This was because he saw that as the way to make the ice form faster. In actuality, he had to follow the formation of ice through nature better. The idea that ice could be slower water with less fire mana affecting it, was better for the way that cue formed. It also added a sharpness to it that was greater than what he could force ice to do. This was because a natural ice crystal was much sharper than anything that he could have forced in to form before. This was a great way to start thinking too. It would allow him to begin showing off the ways that elemental manas could change their flows to be able to take on purer forms overall. If this was done with stone or earth, there was a higher chance that he would be able to push for better building as a whole. Many of those within Genesis that were focusing on rebuilding and improvements would have a great time learning this. Especially the mages that focused on building. With the changes in the world, certain classes of earth mages, had changed. Instead of focusing on earth sculpting and manipulation, they had entirely taken a step toward building as a whole. Specifically, toward how the earth was built. They changed in to stone mages, or they took the class builder mage. Other specific classes like those were enough to prove that they had a proper path to follow. What was even more amazing were people like patterns, they had become magical sculptures, or sculptures of earth and clay. Even more specific which allowed their skills to advance in the very aspects of what they were best at. This meant that they were not creating things that were massively more high quality than before. The Genesis walls had been rebuilt to some extent with such people helping. The density and strength of the stone used was beyond what the current rune carvers could have carved. Now, they were advancing to match this construction and pushing to learn how to carve in to the walls the best runes for defenses. To follow this lead, there were blacksmiths needing to make them new tools that were also able to carve in to better things like this. It was raising a standard all around since there were better ores that needed to be found. Better mining skills needed for those changed ors and so on. This entire domino effect caused many changes just for this one reason. It was an amazing thing to witness. Walker thought of these things while he and Fleur had left the mage tower. They were certain that the three mages would be working well for the time being and taking what they had learned within themselves. Above that, they also knew that mage tower master would appear within the next few years. Something that would make Genesis grow again. Finding himself wandering through the streets again, Walker was surprised that he barely needed sleep. He felt that he was always being filled with energy since the manas naturally flowed through him at all times. Especially since he was always focusing on the flow of it around him now. His senses of all manas had improved. Just walking around he was feeling his body growing syringe regain. Growth was something that was much more available to him with the flow of the world restored. He was still a jack of all trades master of none. That being the fact allowed him to gain experience from everything. He was also not limited by the heroic leveling which the world had done to help them as heroes. He looked back on that and recalled how they had grown faster. They had also been guided to do smaller things that were heroic since they were able to put others on the paths that they needed to be for the greater improvement of the world. It was an interesting way to think of how the smaller tasks would affect the greater whole. Now Walker could see it all much more clearly since he had matured even more. But as he had matured, he also felt that existence was more hands off on how everything developed. That the world had needed to be controlling in a way since things had broken from the natural flow of what everything should have been. Now that it was as it should be, that hand was not there any longer. It was a little sad to think this, but Walker just shook that off. Everything was as it should be, why should he want the old ways to return? They Were incomplete and had the risks of harming others. Especially with those that ended up going against the methods that the world needed so that it could flow properly. People had been cursed due to their titles. Now, that could change. He already sensed a change between the ways that the mana flowed around the sleeping grand water spirit and who had once been Gluttony. The water mana heading through their haad increased and the manas that gluttony had been freed of were changing, his body as well changed. Maybe he would be able to free himself from the suffering of his title and take a new path after many years of being cursed as such. That idea made Walker more hopeful for the future than anything. But he also realized that these peaceful times were not what he could focus on entirely. The development of the dragon villages were a focus that he had to take right now. Besides that, he had to look toward the elemental planes. Would he have the chance to learn about this Origin race that he was now? Would he be able to see the other dragon souls like Remey? What would the beings in the elemental planes look like? Had they already begun exploring the bridges to the world now? So many things could be asked, but he had to focus on what he could do right now over what he might be able to do in the future. Because if he focused on the what ifs, he would forget what was. He could lose the current reality that he faced. Stepping in to the air, Walker felt the wind ripple skill was easier to use. He also felt that Fleur had drifted off elsewhere to explore on her own. She was a free spirited being too, she liked to see what the night would bring Genesis. ”So, you finally wandered my way?” The question seemingly came from nowhere. ”Ventus, I see that you have come back from what you were doing.” Walker was surprised to see that Ventus had been sitting in the air seemingly drifting here and there. A calm wind blew around her. ”I have, my children are doing well. The dragonkin following me are looking to build new homes. It’s very much a benefit that we are all together. I just need to wait to see what will happen with this mountain being raised. I might get to use the wind currents around it, you know.” She appeared very interested in everything happening right now. ”I think you will be able to use them a lot more than what you expect. The entire flow of mana around Genesis will be based on the elemental dragon villages next. It will almost form a massive nature rune. The center will be a haven for manas as a whole.” The two contemplated this before heading towards where the mountain would be raised. Their goal to help the process. …
