Master Of None

”There are runes there, right?” It was Onyx that noticed them. The seemingly shimmering forms that were clearly some strange elemental runes. They weren’t normal though. Not in the terms of what Walker could say that rune carvers and craftsmen used.

These runes were different and more natural almost. They didn’t really pull in mana around them but they held the mana of the one that carved them in to the very space. Meaning that the one who made them was using some higher form of space mana while ensuring that they were anchored in.

As much as Walker was enamored with the additional life mana and then getting some pure death mana to store away and learn from, he was also stunned with the fact that someone had carved runes that to home were so useful that they could remain in one police for who knew how long.

”They are words, not runes. These are words left by another origin race member. They made this.” Walker was stunned as he felt everything was making a little more sense now.

”What do you mean those are words, they look more like messed up runes that don’t connect.” The fact that Gil couldn’t read them and that the others clearly could not either made it also clear that the origin race used more specific runes they most likely created than anything else.

Those that had placed them made a language that their races specifically used to share knowledge and information beyond what the world and existence used their wills throughout the system to translate. Yet, Walker was able to understand everything within these runes the moment he laid eyes on them.

”They use both mana and intent to allow me to read them. I can’t make them yet, but I assume it is specific to the origin race. They left this for others to understand their intent with the elemental plane as a whole.” Walker was about to start ranting about how amazing and useful this form of rune message was and if they could elan it beyond just the origin race there might be great benefits. Especially since he only saw several runes but learned much more. It was the perfect way to condense a message for whoever needed it.

If there was a scout that used this they could send incredibly detailed reports on an area that would be able to help everyone going there. Let alone how it would work for crafting projects or even city wide announcements that would change the rules and laws or even just help move events forward. It could benefit every single society and maybe even be the key toward moving with a united universal language in mind.

”Just tell us what it says!” Remey saw exactly what Walker was thinking and what would happen if she didn’t snap him out of his thoughts. It wasn’t that he would forget to explain to them what he had actually learned from the message. It was simply that he might rant about uses for the language and how he needed to go about learning it more in depth. By the time he circled back around…. Well it could be quite some time.

Walker’s somewhat eccentric side was the cause of some great leaps in various fields. But it also took a. Lots of time and focus. Time that right now the rest of the sorry wished to use bolstering everyone’s understanding of everything they were encountering, not just one person’s focus on a language that would take many years to implement and be able to utilize properly.

It was just a plain and simple logical focus right now. The information left was more valuable than pausing everything to focus on studying. And Walker knew that when he was pushed back to his attention.

”Undead elemental plane. Balance for growing death and life elemental planes with excess manas too pure for incorporation. Utilize this in areas that are in need of balance due to overpopulation and requirements for purifying skill growth in non intelligent groups. Potentially spurring intelligent growth directions and growing populations.”

They were all somewhat silent as they felt this was some big experiment.

”There’s another note after it though. Each one of these runes is a message different from the others from different origin beings.” Now they realized that they might hear more about these things, or they would feel worse.

The idea that the origin race was simply exploring the idea that they could create intelligent life, no, intelligent races was a hard pill to swallow. Especially with the fact that it could mean the world was just one big experiment.

”Undead mana siphoned to assist in balancing the outbreak of quicksand fish in a dense earth elemental plane. Caused an imbalance in life and death mana until a new species of intelligent skeletal undead were created. Caused an outbreak of fighting leading to the collapse of the earth elemental plane. This method is not supported. Light mana added to purify and a guardian placed to watch over the future race to be brought to the elemental planes properly.”

Now they felt that the idea had been used and proven false. However, Walker was not done and read the next one.

”Using undead mana as a source of encouragement is now proven to be a consistent failure. Guardians are better off being placed in overwatch and guidance of any flourishing race. Undead mana is better used to curb the natural fusion of life and death mana due to natural events. Utilize the wraiths here to encourage natural growth without harming massive areas.”

”This undead plane is now used to condense undead mana and grow undead monsters. Bring to needed unbalanced undead elemental planes to encourage balance before additions to normal elemental planes.”

”It seems like there were younger origin race members who misused this and realized their errors before using the undead mana to pearly balance an elemental plane before they bring it to the greater elemental planes. They had to learn through time and it took…” Walker seemed to be counting before he realized he couldn’t actually figure out a solid number of years.

”So they took so long to figure it out because the elemental planes take so long to develop, they didn’t know they were not doing things right until they got to a certain point. Then, they shared what they learned with one another and this undead elemental plane is a fixture for them to visit and utilize only when necessary?” The way that Su saw it, the origin race had learned and begun keeping balance because that was what they had to do. Yet, they made mistakes and needed to ensure that they followed the process and what they learned exactly. Hence the notes immortalized here.

”The last one states; This undead elemental plane can be used in the process of the third wave, enhancing the fabric of the greater planes and the central core. When balance is formed the pure planes will be added and the layered planes will also be added.”

”I have no idea what that means but it sounds like what’s happening now, right?” Poking at the idea that there were many elemental planes being added to the greater elemental planes, Gil had a very good point.

”If this is making a point that the elemental planes are planned to be added in waves, then this is the third one. Would the second be when there was a cut off from the world and the elemental planes were at war? That was a major event and there was a lot of chaos due to it. The third wave will have pure elemental apples added.” Su was beginning to feel a little panic since she understood that many lives would be at risk if there was an even bigger event happening right now.

”I think that it already started and that was why the elemental kings and true sages were so focused. We didn’t even get to properly meet some of the kings or the true sages. They were all working hard to keep balance. I would guess the second wave was harder because there was no world to act as this core. That meant that balance was easier to break.”

The theory that Walker was building made a lot of sense and could go pretty far. However, he also didn’t ignore the fact that this undead elemental planes would also be added along with other layers. ”I think the other layers are different manas like space, time, life, and death mana elemental planes. It means that the greater elemental planes will expand even more outside of what we or anyone else knows. All this, will expand.”

The space, the bubble, and everything that they could see here would become the same as the greater elemental planes. They would examine while the world had already been growing and new aspects appearing. It was all a step toward growth of the entire thing. The whole of everything that the world, the greater elemental planes, and what the origin race worked for was growing. They just were being let in on the details slightly.
