Master Of None

All of the commotion left the entire city very busy during the next few days. Terron was dragged to help Current move more land so that the water dragon village could be built. The flowing water had been planned by multiple of the mages closest to the natural flow of water. This involved the echidna who were sure that they could assist in these things much better than the others that offered. Simply because they were closer to nature as whole. But the time that the earth was moved, there were water channels created in the forms of water runes. As the water flowed through them, there was a massive lake with various water channels connecting different sections. Eventually, it all flowed in to the river again. This allowed the small sections of islands within the area to be used for specific herbs and crops. Current actually supported this more since he was sure that the herbs and crops would be helping to keep the water cleaner. Walker had agreed to this as well since he had been asked for his opinion. While he had not been asked for help in the sense of manipulating mana, Walker found that every single dragon but for Mordant and Rise had asked him for his opinions. Even Ignus had commented a few times about how he could improve the flow of flames without causing the what to radiate outside of the village he was building. The reason for all of this, was because he was a nature dragon. Whether it was how he was born or how he acted with this itinerary title. That did not matter. He was now an important aspect of their culture. Now that they had become dominator dragons, it did not change that. Therefore, as more things came together and the flows of the basic four elemental manas grew, mordant and Rise were forced to begin their own planning. The two were finding themselves at the mansion with Walker and Su. the reason being, because they had to create their villages without causing damage. Su had a lot of experience related to those with light mana and she had helped Su before, therefore, Rise had wanted to have Su tell her her opinions. Mordant had always trusted in Walker. Speaking about plans and working together often. It was only natural that he would be the one that came to Walker for this issue as well. Both felt that it was a good thing though. They would be able to work together to make opposing and balanced villages., ”The darkness mana will saturate the ground. It might create a decaying swamp of sorts. The ground will be full of dark mana.” Mordant knew what the effects of dense darkness mana were. How the land would reflect them very clearly. ”Light will cause the area to be blinded. Scorched by the brighter light which will also bring heat.” From another perspective, rise understood that light could also cause damage. It could cause the place where her village was to be too bright. Cause plants to dry out more often and fall apart because they could not live in the soil there. Hence desert flat lands. ’That’s where the balance needs to come in. the manas that the other dragons have focused on are already beginning to rotate. The what and the water are opposing, because that is just normal. The earth and wind oppose one another, because that is natural. But they can also all mix together.”

”The mage tower is acting like an anchor of sorts right now. It is letting those four manas move about safely. But the two opposite ends, north and south, have nothing. They are holes where mana will leak out and in time, there will be some effects. Weather or wind, some effects that will cause those areas to have some negative side effect.” While Walker was working with a theory, he felt that this would be true. the manas would never truly be balanced without there being a light and darkness mana in the mix. Hence there would be natural mana formed. Genesis would lose a lot of potential worth it more natural mana forming all around the city. ”What Walker is saying, is that when you two create your villages from the runes on the ground, they need to be created at the same time. Allow both manas to balance one another before they are completely within the flow of the other elemental manas already in balance.” Su saw what Walker was getting at. To be able to maintain the growth in the current flow of manas over the past weeks, there needed to be a careful and controlled addition of dark and light manas. If not, they would fuse with the other manas while still clashing with the other manas and themselves. It would cause damage to all runes and whoever was within the city. Where the mage tower would enhance the manas, it would also enhance the damages being done. This was because there was not a single person taking on the lead of the master of the magic tower. That was the important factor in controlling the way that manas were enhanced by the runes on the tower itself. I already have the rune designs. It is making the rines that are the issues with us.” Mordant was unhappy with the facts of this. But, he and Rise were limited. The other elemental manas had very large followings. When compared to the light and the dark affinities, there were very few who had the affinity with these manas powerful enough to help here. Light and dark mana affinities were rarer than the basic elemental manas as well. This was just because dark mana and light mana were not as dense as the other manas in the world. The light and dark manas would not naturally gather in one place. They Were much more spread out at all times. ”We will need mages who all have affinity potions consumed before we do this. The light and the dark ruins need to be activated at the same time. From there, we can cover the runes and use them as a guideline for the construction of the light and dark dragon villages. They would have the space to create whatever was needed. It was fine if the land changed since that was already the case for the other dragon villages. The real question would be how they reacted when the day and night reflected. Both day and night had their own effects on manas. But there was a flow to it all over time. The light and dark dragon villages were the most that would be affected by the day and night cycles of the world. Therefore, they needed to be prepared to sense greater or lessening of their respective manas every single day to a higher degree than the other dragon villages. Looking at the plans that Rise and Mordant had, Walker was impressed. The light and dark runes were something that could easily be inverted and tweaked slightly to be the same rune. It was just the facts of the world since they were directly opposing. Not that all the runes were like this. The rune carvers that would take on carving the runes in to the ground, would be using smaller runes that connected together. There would even be a set of smaller natural mana runes that had been discovered assisted in the flow of natural mana. These fused runes were valuable because they could promote the balances needed. It would also allow for those balances to lead way to more natural mana appearing everywhere within Genesis. ”We will need to make changes for what runes are going to be the focal points of your villages. They needed to have the same strength.” Su saw dangers in this so she wanted to have the runes created and put in situations where they would oppose one another. A smaller scale was the best chance. This was how Walker and Su found themselves being brought to where the rune carvers would call out their own skills. A section near the crafting guild since the rune carvings were a major aspect of nearly all carving. Those that had not gotten work elsewhere were here for the time being. The challenge of two royal dragons to create a better set of tunes that were in balance attracted a lot of attention. While the rune carvers would be in charge of carving these runes in to the ground, it was mostly as a place to use as a form for them. The runes would take up their own spaces in the world. Even if the earth was moved, the runes would be there. Especially once the balances with other manas were made. This was where the four spent the next hours. Testing the rune carvers. Looking for leaders among them.
