Master Of None

Chapter 1374: 1374. Answers

Getting back to Ignusʼs village was a very fast process. Due to his annoyance that the enforcers were carrying Gil slowly, Ignus had directly grabbed them with his claws and carried them all the way there. It was something that made Walker think higher of Ignus because the excuse was too forced.

”Alma, tell me what you saw and why things were like that?” Walker wanted all the information. Gil was resting since he had overexerted himself. It was clear that Walker had rushed in causing a lot of drama without knowing the full story.

”When we went in to their city Gil noticed the spirits. Zephyr was even acting protective of him. The more we looked we felt off. Everything was too perfectly set up for us. Even the elves walking around were too perfect. None of them were working.

Just walking around.” This was very unnerving since it could have been someone using a magic skill.

”We were brought to the flame elf kingʼs hall. He had very bad information about Genesis. He thought that I was the one going to rule over all of it. Uniting the elves wasnʼt for equality and peace but to rule everyone. He was terrible. He thought Gil was a servant.

He didnʼt even let Gil speak at first.” Alma shook slightly becoming angry.

”It only got worse the more he spoke without letting us explain things. It was like our words were just imaginary. Then he said that he invited us there to join together, by marrying me.” Alma saw Walkerʼs eyes become wide.

”That explains why Gil may have been angry enough to not hold back…But that still doesnʼt explain things. What was that form that Gil was in? Where did the powerful wind come from that broke the flame elf kingʼs hall?” These were very important to Walker. He and Fleur had felt the mana being controlled with extreme precision.

”I donʼt know it well. The elders would know it better. But from what I do know, Gil has become the avatar of wind. Itʼs something that spirit mages have the potential for. The title is given by a grand elemental spirit or equal. That spirit chooses an avatar to bond with completely.

Basically, Zephyr and Gil become one through that skill.” Alma had a small tear running down her cheek.

”One of the flame knights was going to grab me and Gil made an arrow out of wind to knock them back. I used an attack that left me wide open and he was pushed too hard. Itʼs my fault that he wonʼt wake up.” The enforcers felt the same as Alma. they had failed their positions. Gil had paid the price for all of them failing. Their silent prayers to the world for him to be well were all they could do now.

”And now between the wind and you the entire city might be ruined!” Almaʼs face fell in to her hands. She felt that she had even ruined the chances for the flame elves to ever reunite with the other elves and join Genesis. The future she had been working toward was already lost before it had a chance to be born.

”That is where you are wrong. After I waved those pathetic fire illusions away I saw everything. That city as you call it was nothing more than rubble. To purify things they fell to ruin. It has been many years since there were flame elves in great numbers. Right about the time of the last eruption.” Ignus had been silent.

He was watching Walker carefully. These things happened within Ignusʼs territory but Walker was the one acting on what had happened.

”I also saw a lot of those fabrics and paintings erased after Gilʼs attack. That was all for show, just as he thought. I would not be surprised if the flame elf city has been slowly falling in to ruins before you ever arrived. And what was that about a grand fire spirit?” Walker was slowly assembling the pieces.

As Walker was understanding the situation, Alma was already ahead of him. It snapped her out of self pity and put her back in to her focused mindset. ”The flame elves lost the grand fire spirit they worshiped at some point. They said that they would be able to bring it back by bringing the elves together. If they have been giving everything up to attract the grand flame spirit…”

”Then they have been throwing their people aside for years already.” Walker finished her sentence. The two were disgusted that a ruler could do such a thing.

”You may be unhappy with my people for ousting the weak. But we would never sacrifice all of our people to purify elemental mana. Or to attract the attention of anyone.” Ignus found a great amount of distaste in the flame elvesʼ actions. Purification of mana should not be through sacrifice. It should be through careful meditation and learning.

It should be a positive pursuit instead of a corrupted poisoned one.

”The real question is, where did the flame elves go? There were no bodies around, no signs that they did untold evils. So where could they be?” Walker wanted to go and return there as soon as he could. He wanted to find the answers to his question so that he could ensure those responsible for any crime would come to justice.

”Banished. Every elf has the same tradition. Banish those that do not conform to the traditions. The forest elves were always less likely to do so. The forests were not a place we felt should be full of the banished. Byt the flame elves were strict, they banished their people even before they went mad.” Alma felt that she was discovering a terrible thing.

Banishment was the loss of oneʼs home. A great insult. A tragedy for the criminals that could not be punished in other ways.
