Master Of None

"Now are we agreed?" The man spike again looking around.

"Agreed!" They all nodded and said in unison.

"Then welcome to our winter village, pleas make yourselves at home and enjoy the warmth of our fires. You may address us as elder while you are here. As long as you show us respect you are as good as any other rabbit tribesman however bear with me, if you fire spect us we will show our claws." These words were both strict rule and sounds advice, both of which every one of them planned to follow.

Stepping forward walker began his reply, " hello there, my name is walker and I am the party leader of the omnipotent party. I hold the jack of all trades system. This is midnight my younger sister and onyx our younger brother. Here is my second in command Gil with his ranger system. This is Su with the shield bearer system and Remey with the brawler system. We thank you very much for allowing us to stay with you, and look forward to learning many things." Walker bowed slightly to show more respect bringing a smile to the man with one ears face. How responsible and professional this boys introduction was showed he was also wise beyond his years which was a very sought after quality in the tribe.

Laurence took his turn next, " I am honored to be with the tribe yet again. I've brought with me Elise a young avian tamer, he sister Stella will most likely roam the skies if the wind is soft. Here is Riley our young wild beast tamer, please rest assured his demon boars will not be taking a walk. This is their first time here in the winter and I'm sure they will learn a fair bit of survival tricks, so I thank you in advance." These two as well seemed interesting to the elders. One that could tame wild beasts was fairly rare and another that tamed avian monsters. Having seen their fair share of avian monsters hunt the plains the tribe was adept in countering them but hunting them properly was always a task for more advanced hunters.

" ahh so much potential is always a good sight to see, feel free to join us all tonight for a meal. We often have a very lively fire with plenty of food and chatter. Otis will show you to an open spot in the meantime." With that the one eared elder seemed to be captivated by his tea. Otis made a wave with his hand to follow him. It appeared they were done with the introductions.

Moving away from the square walker glanced back to see the elders discussing something. It seemed they had given everyone the once over and now were sharing their opinions.

Otis brought everyone through a tangle of igloos and pathways leading to a larger open space. " if you've got any tents this is a spot you can use. If you'd like to have you're own home built we can ask the mages to build an igloo but you'll need to trade for it, nothings free in life." Otis was about to turn away when he saw walker moving to the center of the space, why was he doing?

" I don't think we need much in the way of roofing but some walls for privacy would be nice." Walker focused on the image of four walls with one opening while using his mana manipulation. Mana was drained out while the earth rumbled. Four stone walls began to rise around them leaving just one space to exit. A few drops of sweat dripped from walker but overall he seemed fairly happy with their temporary living area. "Alright let's set up our own little sleeping area. We can get a small fire started later for heat while we sleep.

Wasn't this boy a tamer? How'd I'd he just sculpt earth? "Boy how can a tamer like you move the earth like this? Do you have a third underground tamed beast?" Otis felt this theory was the most plausible, had he brought in an underground threat to the village? If so should he risk battling this boy to kick him out?

" I never said I was a tamer, I introduced myself as someone with the jack of all trades system. I can learn pretty much any skill. Well not a mastery level skill but as you can see it's not that big a deal." Otis was beside himself, any skill? He had thought walker to be trying to hide the kind of tamer he was with a playful lie by saying he was a jack of all trades but it was true.

" what else can you do, can you I would like to see more proof you are what you say." Otis already decided to believe walker but under the guise of proof he could convince walker to show off more. This could help in a manner of ways, if walker had skills he could use to harm or help the villager he would find a way to remove or convince walker respectively.

" there's a lot but I can used a monster skill to intimidate enemies, manipulate the elements, appraise things, use any weapons...honestly I would loose track of I hadn't gained a skill called mental archive that lets me record everything in a bit library in my head. Don't worry though using it won't give me a headache." Laugh in at his little joke he soon stopped realizing he may have overwhelmed Otis.

Spacing out a moment Otis slowly turned glaring at Laurence. " I may have teased you a few times when you visited but did you really have to bring such an enigma here!" Laurence only smiled in response, in his mind he was laughing with evil intent seeing that his revenge had begun.

"No I would never bring someone here to cause you shock and confusion. I only wished for my new friends to see the majesty of the rabbit tribes winter resting place." Laurence used his sweet words but was curing Otis for the jokes he had made when Laurence tried to dance. Tonight he would have revenge.

"Ahhgg" walker turned to find Gil flat on his face. There was a slight icy patch that was almost perfectly clear. Gil had ignored the others and tried to set up a sleeping spot with some gear he carried. He felt he would trouble walker if he asked him to always store it.

Looking up a nice purple lump was already forming on his forehead. "Ummm hey walker...think I could ask you to help out with this? If we are eating with everyone tonight I should look my best." The smile he gave walker was forced as he was fairly embarrassed for not noticing the ice however walker long accepted the chance they would slip and fall as they learned the new terrain.

" well better to fall her than in combat I guess. Come over here. Oh, hey Otis I can also heal, forgot to mention it when you asked" as Gil came to walker the light heal skill was used bringing the green healing light from walkers hands. The growing bruise in Gil's forehead faded away in an instant as if it was not there at all.

" healing too? I swear if anyone fights you when you've grown up it will always be like fighting your natural enemy..." he no longer wanted to quarrel with Laurence and instead felt he had lost. He the head warrior wasn't able to push aside this amount of shock. He had met someone who in theory would always be able to play in his weaknesses.

" well I'm still limited to my mana usage so it's not like I can fight forever. But you are right, if I work hard one day I might be able to always give my party the edge in battle. Oh Su, Remey I haven't gotten your gear out yet I'm sorry. Elise Riley yours too!" Pulling out from his spatial magic inventory walker placed everyone's gear in front of them. Lastly he pulled out his own.

This was the nail in the coffin, even special magic. What was this kid? How could he do all of this like it was common every day activities. " I feel like I could spend a lifetime watching you and only learn a fraction of what you can do." Dejected Otis made his leave, Laurence wanted to feel accomplished but instead felt he may have gone too hard.

Deciding it wasn't too big a deal, " well now Otis seems to know how we all felt getting to know your skills too."

" you don't even know the half of it, we learned it first hand while on our first adventure. He literally formed a blood contract that day! It was ridiculous, since then we've just been waiting for crazy stuff to happen." Gil knew all too well hour everyone felt and wished he could say it was easy to adjust to.

" you've got that right I half expect him to start changing the weather or pulling diamonds from ash next." Dramatically Remey waved her hands as if she was conjuring a storm. Laughing at her jokes they went about setting up their home for the night.
