Master Of None

"Knock Knock. Are you two in there?" Walker had made his way to the cathedral and looked for Alice and Onyx. he thought that they would be training again but found them nowhere to be seen. It meant that they could only be in one place, the heavenly serpent egg room.

​ When he had pushed open the door, he had found that the room was filled with extremely condensed light elemental mana. It was radiating through everything and even made rainbow fluctuations in the air. The pair must have been working very hard. "What's wrong? Why do you look like you are about to cry?" Walker found that Alice was on her knees with a trembling lip and Onyx was moving around with a lot of stress.

"It cracked! The egg cracked! But we didn't do anything and we don't know why. Is it hurt? Can you appraise it?" Onyx threw his thought loudly at Walker. There was a moment that he needed to take before he could respond since it had been so loud.

"Let me see, just breathe alright?" Walker could feel that the mana within the egg was still growing. For whatever reason, it had a small crack but that seemed to be the place that the mana was being drawn to. Part of him just knew that everything was going to be fine.

'Heavenly serpent egg (hatching phase)

The hatching phase of a heavenly serpent egg lasts for anywhere between five and fifty five days. The higher light elemental mana density in the area will influence the speed of hatching. Once it hatches the shells will dissolve in to the light elemental mana and become food for the newly hatched heavenly serpent egg. This is the ideal time for someone to contract this as a tamed monster if that is the goal. This heavenly serpent egg has roughly forty days remaining until it hatches regardless of mana density.'

"We are going to find someone that can make magic scrolls. I have no idea how to put my skill in to a scroll and you need it as soon as possible." The blood contract skill was one that Walker had only used twice. However, he wanted Alice to be able to use it and bond with the heavenly serpent. He had not expected that there was an optimal time to do such a thing but since there was, it had to be done. They needed to figure this out.

"So it's not hurt! It's hatching. Was I like this? I don't remember the day so well." Onyx couldn't recall it so well. He could remember absorbing some light elemental mana but more or less being incredibly tired. Then he slowly learned by watching until he could move about and do more.

Walker clasped a hand around Alice's arm and started to pull her out of the room. Onyx was close behind. He had the idea that the mage tower would have an arcane something or other to help make a scroll. He had some paper but had not learned the runes or skills necessary to engrave any skills in to a scroll. Therefore, he needed someone with experience to ensure that they would be able to get it before they left for the ravine.

"Brother, you're moving too fast!" Walker stopped and realized that Onyx was right. He had let himself get too excited and pulled Alice along without letting her adjust her shoes for running. His apologies came out in a jumbled mess that ended up making her giggle. The single peal of laughter nearly stopped his heart.

Once everything was all set, the three moved quickly through the streets. They had become much busier as the morning had gone on. Walker was sure that Onyx had already trained hard with the dragon golem earlier but now he was getting a second round of training in dodging. He felt a little bad since Onyx was going to be the leader and they needed to be up later in the night to help Clara. Overall, he was sure that Onyx would be a little more tired than usual for the next morning when they would set out for the ravine in the fields.

The mage tower was still very busy since there were so many possibilities. The runes alone attracted people who just wanted to see a building made for mana and magic. But the real draw were the many books and elemental rooms within the tower. Walker clearly remembered the copied consciousness left behind in the tower searching for a grand mage to reign over it. Unfortunately, it seemed that the consciousness was still slumbering in wait. That wasn't the biggest deal since they had just begun to research the tower in Genesis.

"I know there are some mages that have set up little stalls and shops around the tower. The training area is still being finished so it is off limits. But we should find someone making skill scrolls." Walker looked through and found many mages selling mana crystals and magical staffs. The fact that so many robes were on display was actually a little annoying since he wanted to find something specific but couldn't see past them.

Suddenly, Alice pulled on him and Walker was the one being dragged away while Onyx chased. She had spotted a small stall hidden between a few robes and mana crystal stalls. The entire thing was basically just a large rug covered in rune covered papers along with a few ink brushes. "Can you make magic scrolls that store skills?" Alice spoke very politely and attracted the attention of the elderly man sitting in the middle of everything.

"Why yes, I can. You would be the first customer of the day. Is there a specific skill you are looking for? I have some leftover from past customers that made extra copies and did not need them." The man slowly started to organize the scrolls before he realized that Walker and Onyx were there too.
