Master Of None

"Alice! There's fire!" The healer elf had realized while the group was traveling that there was a light in the distance. After the wind had changed, she had figured out that there was smoke in the air and the light that she could see was the fire of grass on fire.

They had just left the small farming village and were only three or so hours away. The sun was not all that warm yet so they knew it was not anything that was caused by the heat of the day. There had been no clouds in the sky so it was certainly not anything to do with lightning strikes. "What should we do? The fire could travel this way."

The healers were very distraught to see such a danger ahead. However, Alice remained calm. She was not going to overreact. She had seen much more dangerous scenarios that monsters had caused.

"We go and help." Alice took off in a run. If anyone thought that it would limit her singing, they would be fools. She started to sing the same song she had sung before that sped up the carriages. She used it so that she would be able to reach the patch of grass on fire.

She had no idea what she could do to resist the burning flames since she was not able to control water or fire elemental mana. She was limited to what she could do with light elemental mana. This meant that she was going to have to perform a song on the spot.

Performing a song on the spot was a little dangerous. Mostly because Alice was not able to predict the proper way for her to add meaning to the words. Her songs didn't function on the pure idea behind them, they needed the addition of emotions so that they could condense the light elemental mana to a denser level.

As the other healers caught up with her, they focused on the burnt areas finding that a large circle had been burned. "It looks like a camp was made over here! There may be injured!" This connected the pieces and they all knew what had seemed to happen. A group of adventurers may have set up camp and ended up with their fire catching the dried grass ablaze.

Alice abruptly changed her song. She was thinking of hope Su had been able to copy the light shield and add it to her shield bash and shield charge skills. If she were to think of that and expand it the same way that Su's earth spirit partner used the earth fortress skill, then it may work. She was about to use a lot of mana but it was not an issue. There was a fire that needed to be put out and potential injuries hidden behind the flames healed.

The protective song that she sang came from the inspiration Su had given her. Many times Alice had seen Su focus on improving her ability to defend those she cared for. It was the same kind of energy and feelings that every healer had for those they wanted to heal. Therefore, Alice already had the emotions to improve the slowly growing dome of light after the flames she could see.

The heat was making her sweat while she could tell her breathing was rushed. It wasn't that she had just run so much as it was her speed at singing. The flurry of words was putting the pace faster and faster so that she could create the dome sooner. She wanted to protect whoever could be there sooner.

Further pushing herself, Alice managed to create a dome that trapped the flames using the condensed light elemental mana. The song was stressing her body and she could feel the words becoming raspy. It wasn't just the dry air that was affecting her but the strain on her vocal cords.

"I can see a group huddled under blankets!" The forest elf healer rushed to the side of the people she had seen as soon as the flames died down in to smoking pulled of burnt grass.

"Demons! These are demons!" The picture became even clearer. The demons had clearly fled the demon lands with almost no possessions. They had made a camp without realizing the dangers of where they were to stay warm at night.

"Heal them." Alice was struggling to get the words out. She had learned the harsh lesson of what would happen when using something she had not practiced nor keeping her calm. It was a heavy price to pay but one that was acceptable. Yet, when she felt the warmth spreading around her neck she found that one of the healers she was with had used a light healing skill on her.

"I can't let our fearless leader feel too bad." The healers all knew the hardships that came with what they were doing. They did not have the heart to let each other suffer without helping. It was just the people they were and what drove them.

"Three children with severe burns and two adults. We need those healing potions too." The healers had already started unwrapping and soaking bandages. They wired like a perfect team. The area around them was no longer at risk so they could fully focus on what they could do to help the demons that had fled the dangers of the demon lands.

"There's more than just burns. They have many cuts and slashes along their backs and arms. They fled from some evil people." The forest elf healer was cruising while she worked. She could not imagine such treatment by their own people.

"We will help them. They will have a safe home." Alice was still a little raspy even after the healing, but she said this with such surety that none could doubt it.
