Master Of None

”I believe that it is the right time we begin the actual building process.” A dwarven architect sat in front of all the Genesis representatives. He had a team of ten advisors behind him and countless more waiting outside for the decision today.

There had been many more changes from the time that the plans were being created and how everything would be done since the idea of a second Genesis city was to be built on the Sigil continent.

Whoever, a sudden push from the dwarves and angels had made things all that much busier. There wasn’t much explanation either as to why they had doubled their efforts. Whoever, they had also brought many more rune carvers sin and even true to recruit those who knew the witch rune knowledge and were working to learn it.

”I would like to know why you have pushed this meeting ahead by more than a month and a half. None of us had believed there would be a plan in place or even enough clear land yet.” Since Walker found himself one of the most surprised since he had not heard many rumors about the building plans, his curiosity pushed him to ask right away.

The meeting has been called and not a single representative present was missing it. Those who were busy with other matters had sent their direct subordinates, showing off that there was a major focus on what might be said in this meeting.

”I entirely understand that the previous plan showed we might even fall behind by a couple of months due to the monsters and the terrain challenges. I am glad to announce that the efforts to clear the land only improved with the newer additions to the building forces and the fact that the angel race doubled their efforts.”

This didn’t answer the main question just yet, but Walker and the others could see that there was more to be said.

”We also would like to announce two major breakthroughs that our teams have learned.” two diagrams were brought out. They were hand-drawn rune formations that were familiar to most as being part of the angel’s floating cities.

”Due to the study and successes of the floating ship, study of runes, and study of ancient rune formations within the ruined angel cities we have discovered and rebuilt the gravity runes. The two floating angel cities are not properly controlled and stabilized by the masters who have the right ability to repair and re carve the runes necessary.”

The flurry of conversation was halted quickly as the dwarven architect spoke again, ”this allowed the angels to focus on the fact that the new city built by Genesis will be the central teleportation and link to their floating cities. In turn, there is a high chance that the craftsman and masters born of that city and our alliance will be able to make the forgotten, lost, and damaged cities of the angel race able to float again.”

Now everyone understood clearly.

There had been a major discovering in the runes which were stopping the floating cities from moving properly. It also was the reason why many had collapsed before and were unable to even be lived in.

If a single floating city could rise again, it would be a testament to the strength of the angels and the benefits they gained by joining the alliance of Genesis with all other races. It would also be a whole new home for many to live that were not smaller and more dangerous villages that the angels were forced to live in now.

The cost spent to help those villages was high and would definitely be a large sum added back to be used in other projects. This included the manpower sent to help and protect those villages.

Both a return to their roots as angels and a saving of money, effort, and time.

”This is what we have established as a proper gravity tune and an enhanced gravity rune formation.” The rune and rune formation stood out very clearly. Walker had already used the all around appraisal in to a few times as well.

The gravity rune was very similar to what he’d known of them before. It was partially an earth rune however with unique changes creating a form of rune that used space and earth together.

Knowing that space mana could interact and make a unique mana in this way was special to Walker who had attempted to learn such things recently and prior to this.

However, looking at the turn he could sense that it was greater than just earth and space mana together. It was a mix of two manas that came together due to an innate fact of existence. No of how the world itself maintained form.

The rune suddenly burst to life and everyone felt the room become harder to sit and stand it. Walker snapped out of it and halted all his mana.

”I am sorry for that. I just understood another bit of mana revolving around that rune and what gravity means.” He apologized for the sudden scare and many looked at him shocked.

They were not afraid but shocked because he had understood mana enough to cause a reaction that should mainly been Impossible. The rune was just drawn, it wasn’t infused with manas or activated by a rune carver. It should have needed a mana source too.

”Gravity mana is a unique mix of earth and space mana. It’s also a base for the world as well since that mana is present everywhere and at all times. Everything is drawn to the center of the world by a dense amount of gravity mana. I understand that now. It is also how the bridges to the elemental planes attack space mana better to the world and the elemental planes.”

He spoke as if he was putting together a puzzle had had been missing out of for years. They all looked at him some people sweating slightly as they couldn’t grasp how it all worked. These ideas were well above what many could call a normal conversation for people to have.

Even the crafters needed to know some unique aspects of the world, but gravity theory based on space and earth mana? None of them were at a level like that. Even the masters would struggle to incorporate it.

It was why some had begun calling some masters grand, above a mastery skill. Above a level of mastery. Above the best that used to be thought to be impossible to step beyond.

The wandering blacksmith would be considered one who was a grand blacksmith above a master. It went beyond that though, just Walker couldn’t say how far someone could develop as the world changed and they drew closer to expeditions in to the elemental planes.

”I see. Thank you for enlightening us. I believe some will pursue gravity magic now that we have proof the ancient race were able to use it more readily. They might not have mastered it, the runes have been improved but this tune here is what we believe is a core rune unable to be altered unless added to. Not subtracted.”

The calm returned as the explanation grew more in depth. How these rougher runes were around the cities and now partially incorporated in to new plans for floating ships. The idea of floating transport carts was also being tossed around.

The plan for building could easily move forward with the angel race’s entire two floating cities repaired and moving to assist in the building. They just wanted to see their honored and respected fallen cities float again or repaired enough to not be lost ruins. Anyone would wish that.

”The production can begin within one month-”

”We will start this week. I can lead a large group to begin shaping the earth and also changing what must be done for foundations.” Everyone found it odd that Terron was speaking. However, they all knew he’d come from where he rested with the earth wyvern queen for a reason.

”I plan to bring some of the earth wyvern there to follow the underground city ideas the dwarves use. This way they can have a home nearby other wyvern homes and help link the two cities by splitting their race safely.”

This also seemed to rely on the fact that the earth wyverns were gaining more intelligence along with the other wyverns. They needed space and this would solve that. Terron had also had his elf held back for some time. He didn’t need to do this. The world had changed and the earth wyvern Queen was already protecting her recently born new clutch of eggs.

That announcement began spreading like wildfire. Enlightening many who knew that the first dragon egg or half dragon or wyvern born to the Genesis alliance showed a major step for them.
