Master Of None

"We will see you later, plenty to do!" Gil was walking Alma back to the water elf expansion area. She had to stop in and see how it was progressing. Gil went with her since he had planned to make himself available for the remainder of the day. He needed to ensure that his students at the academy could use any resources possible while building their mentorship parties. If they failed because he did not give the proper guidance then the only one at fault was him.

"I will see you later as well brother, I know you are busy and I will return to the cathedral with Alice." Onyx had a few plans for what he would be working on today with the hatchlings after they awoke from their rest.

The excited nodding from Alice showed that she wanted to speak with Ibis as well. "You both are doing the best you can. I know that the hatchlings and Arora appreciate it. Now that Ibis is here you will have less stress on your shoulders." Walker's words were simple, but enough to help both of them.

"I will see you later…" Alice jumped and hugged Walker. She ran away quickly after but it had been the most forward thing she had done recently. Walker, of course, was stunned. He thought that he may have made her mad by not spending more time alone with her. Yet, he had been wrong. Completely wrong.

Alice had always been surrounded by people in the cathedral. She had to heal and would need others around watching her or helping. Her father was the high p[riest, she always had a pair of eyes watching for her well being or improvement. To have Walker stand back and let her pursue her dreams while offering help if she needed it was different. It was very welcomed by her. It was just another reason she felt her feelings for him growing.

"Now, let's go find Mordant and Midnight. I took longer than I should have. I'm sure that they are out and about." Walker could tell the general area that Midnight had traveled. But when he turned toward the alchemy guild he already knew what must have happened. Mordant had plainly said that he would be trying to get more of the affinity potions. He wanted the higher quality ones and that was what he would get.

"Sir Walker!" As soon as he walked in the very same attendant that had greeted Mordant and Midnight ran to him. She had been on the look out for another party member since she was certain they would arrive. "The guild masters are on the top floor with Miss Midnight and the esteemed guest."

"Thank you very much. I will go and see them." Before Walker could even get near the door he heard the voices.

"What do you mean you only want me to use shadow grass as the base ingredient? Are you a fool? All those years lived and this is what you have to offer?"

"Ha! You might be old for a human, but you are clearly still a child. Adding the bleeding roots will cause the entire potion to separate water from oils. You should know this!"

Walker slowly pushed open the door for fear that he would be coming in to a battle scene. However, what he found was a calm Mordant watching Trish and the old master alchemist yell at each other.

p "These two are quite interesting. They argue to force more ideas out. They innovate. Then they accidentally let slip slight praise before returning to the argument. The process is very interesting." Mordant rarely witnessed others fight like this. The way the alchemists were deriving new formulas was unique. He could honestly say that he was impressed by how much the pair had pushed themselves to understand in a short time.

"Midnight, I see you helped Mordant out of the mansion. Good job." Walker glanced at Remey who was already writing down a formula. She was totally in her own world. "And yes, they have a strange way of doing things. But you should see the things they can do after they straighten out the theory. The affinity potions were something that the old master alchemist was stuck on for years. He just needed the right spark to put it all in the works. Now that there is an entire guild to push him, I am certain that the research will advance rapidly."

"I agree. With The advanced knowledge of herbs, they should have solutions soon. I offered a variety of high tier darkness elemental herbs. This was the result. They knew more about every single one than I ever could hope to know." To make Mordant this impressive was impressive in its own right. Alchemy was a small part of dragon culture. They did not dwell on it since they rarely needed potions. Now, they had a reason for potions and had discovered a more advanced subject than they could have imagined. "I do wonder, will there be alchemist dragons born in your city?" Mordant through out loud for a moment. The potential was there if the hatchlings brought proved to become wiser and stronger as Walker had assured them.

" I could see it happening. Having an alchemical dragon would be a step to change the way dragons and other races bonded. If Ignus sends over some hatchlings then there may be a chance to obtain that. The flames are very unique. Remey has an alchemy fire spirit partner." As if it had been called, the alchemy fire spirit left the spirit mark on Remey's hand and drifted over. "Thi is the very spirit. See the difference in the flames? They are perfect for alchemy and can better influence herbs." Mordant observed the spirit while it spun around completely. The darkness spirit came out to greet it while Mordant thought deeply.
