Master Of None

Even Though Walker and Mordant had left, the dragonkin warriors had still been in chaos. They had never seen such a being that could learn their moves in an instant. The young dragonkin had to focus on training for years to best use their skills and swordsmanship.

Rise was equally in turmoil as well. She had called on her light dragons to gather the best of the best dragonkin warriors to come with her to genesis. She wanted to arrive and immediately show off the dominance that she and those under her had.

Naturally, this had not come over her champion's head, nor the draconic guardian under him. That meant that they would all be arriving in genesis whether they wanted to or not. Not that they had not desired to go there. They were all actually excited by this.

The temptation of something new and seeing Walker along with what he had boasted made them want to go there and stay. What was even more dramatic was that he had even offered them training sessions against many other warriors. It was something that they would not normally be able to pursue in their own village.

Overall, the lasting effect on the light elemental dragonkin had been left. All that was remaining was to actually meet in Genesis. Rose would ensure they left in time.

It was much the same with the light elves. Many had decided to follow Alma, Gol, and the enforcers back to Genesis. Some had even volunteered the light elemental monsters they had tamed as a ride back. It was why Alma and Gil now found themselves on top of a pure feather crane.

The pure feather crane was a monster raised only by the light elves. This was because the pure feather crane was very skittish when encountering other affinity monsters or beings. Through hard training, the light elves had been able to push this fear in the pure feathered crane away. Now it could resist the urge to fly away from someone like Gil who had a very powerful wind affinity.

It did help that they were accompanied by Horizon the grand light elemental spirit. This ride on the pure feather crane was the reason that Gil and Alma had beaten Walker back. Why he had been able to find Su running through Genesis.

The pair had arrived back to Genesis and Gil had left Alma to handle things with the light elves. He had a new quest to deal with. Zephyr and Horizon were with him. But Gil had been unable to say much to Remey and Su regarding the trip even though they had just noticed the light elemental spirit that was now conversing with Azar and Alvaro, the two newest grand elemental spirits of fire and earth. This meant that Fleur and Horizon were theoretically the only two other than the darkness grand elemental spirit left that had yet to ascend.

Since the pure feathered Crane had flown Gil back so fast, he was still slightly shaken from the trip. The wingspan of a beast that could fly high and fast through the wind currents were enough for it to bathe its feathers in the strongest light elemental mana from the sun. That was how it had grown so large and strong. That was also why the pure feathered crane was a respected monster among the light elemental monsters on the mountains the light elves lived.

The sudden feeling of mana around them made their eyes move to the shadow of the mage tower. Since the sun was starting to set for the day, they knew that the shadow would soon be cast over the city. Yet, when they saw Walker and Mordant rising from the shadows, everyone was still surprised.

Mordant stumbled a little. He had not perfectly recovered from the first time they traveled through the shadows. The burden on his body grew but he would remain the strength he needed to see things through. He would need to spend a few days on the darkness elemental floor to properly recover all the mana he had used from his stores within his body. But it would all be worth it.

"You all have the quests too- is that a light grand elemental spirit." Walker caught sight and felt the strength that horizon had immediately.

"So this is the nature spirit that calls us to them. How young you are. I feel that you will shine very well though." The words from Horizon made Fleur even more energetic. She had to met a light elemental spirit very much and the grand elemental spirit looked at her as if she was a valuable rate of pure sunlight. It was complimentary.

The mana that Fleur was also able to absorb around the grand light elemental spirit was purer as well. Fleur was beginning to gain much more from just being around so many grand spirits. It was as if she had been missing these puzzle pieces from her existence for a great deal of time.

"Walker! We will have to have a talk after this. Whatever we are going to do to balance mana will get done. Then you will tell us what in the hell you were thinking!" Gil held a hand out to make Walker know that he was welcomed home even though they were disappointed in him.

"I know you are all upset with me. But I had to go and convince Rise that she had to be here. If I didn't she would become another enemy or at least troublesome to deal with. When she gets here we will finish things." Walker was sure of this. He also wanted to get on with things and made a firm statement to end the conversation.

"Gil, you shouldn't say much. You left us too. You went with Alma to get the light elves here. Then you show up yelling to find Su and myself. You haven't even apologized yourself." This was a slap to the face for Gil. he felt Remey's words sting him slightly.

"Remey is right. You two need to explain yourselves. But for now, we need to worry about what we need to do with this quest." Su was calm but everyone could see the gears turning in her head. She wanted to have this all worked out so that she could push to the next level of understanding. If she was able to better bond with her partner, then she would become much more powerful. Meaning, that she could protect more people better.

"Long story short, we banned some old light elves, welcomed some young ones, and also found Horizon, the grand light elemental spirit. Now we have a quest that we rushed back for. What now?" Gil summed things up without many details. No one questioned a thing as they all suddenly felt the darkness elemental mana spike around them. The shadows seemed to begin to tremble like puddles of water being shaken by a heavy monster walking by.

,m "So we have been called. How strange it is to see all elemental spirits of my equal again. The names and faces have changed, but at least you are still here little Zephyr." The voice was soft. Almost a whisper. The mana used was not the same as any other elemental spirit. Nor was what walked out of the shadows.

Where moist elemental spirits had rough elemental mana bodies, the grand elemental spirits had more defined bodies. This was due to their strength. But the darkness elemental spirit that walked out was very humanoid with large black wings on its back. It was taller than any of them and showed immense control over the darkness elemental mana.

"Shade! I haven't seen you since I was a newly bord wind grand spirit. How are you!" the excitement that Zephyr had was enough to make everyone take notice.

"It has been a long time. As you see, I have mastered my form. I have long desired to move to the darkness plane of existence. However, I have remained so that I may master my being at a deeper level. It is all very worth it as I am able to see a new generation of spirits. Even that light spirit is very different."

"You never met Horizon! I forgot. You should have come when they grew on to a grand spirit! It was so fun. Everyone was there!" Zephyr wanted to catch up more. However, there was a feeling drawing them together. The natural mana seemed to be pushing toward them at a higher rate than before.

"It appears that we are being called even more strongly than before. I believe that little one to be the nature spirit as our center. How proper." Shade moved to take a position in front of Fleur. "It is my pleasure to meet you. May you use my mana well." a small bubble of condensed darkness elemental mana moved from Shade to Fleur. It was a very appropriate gift for Fleur who was in need of more mana to gain strength as a nature spirit.

"That's all of us," Walker mumbled while looking at the quest. He was waiting to see what the world required.
