Master Of None

It was clear that the mana the elemental spirits were bringing toward the tower was having a great effect. Once Walker got to the top of the tower, he was able to look out over all of Genesis and sense the mana coming toward it.

What was even more evident was that the mana was being condensed and balancing the elemental floors. The runes that reached the top of the mage tower were glowing brilliantly while releasing more condensed mana in to the air. This was how the tower was able to influence the entire city.

When Walker and Fleur were near the central point of the tower, they found a single rune that was more intricate than any of the other runes. This was something that Walker had not sensed nor seen anywhere else in the mage tower.

"This looks like a natural mana rune. We saw them in the ancient library." Fleur nodded agreeing. She was feeling the force of the rune trying to mix the manas that were traveling around it. However, there was a blockage. The mana was not easily mixing together.

"Wait, this means that the mage tower has still not been operating at full capacity…" Feeling that this was more than just a theory that he had, Walker began to sense the mana more closely.

Fleure combined with the eternal orb and it floated over Walker's hand. He could tell that she was trying to bring the mana together in to natural mana to send back out in to the world. She was also using some of it to help her gain strength and take a more solid form. Seeing that Shade was able to manipulate the darkness elemental mana in to a more solid and detailed body had made Fleur very curious.

"As a nature spirit, you can bring the mana from all the grand elemental spirits together. That's why we can help the most." Walker was saying this mostly for his own encouragement. He knew this would cause a lot of stress.

Without much guidance, he knew that the odds were that the mana from all the grand elemental spirits would condense to make mana that they would have to combine. The world had a high amount of mana and in an unbalance, it would naturally cause some troubles.

By creating a dense amount of natural mana, it could diffuse in to the world slowly fixing the unbalanced caused throughout by the grand elemental spirits ascending one after the other. Walker knew that it wasn't the spirits actually ascending and leaving that had truly caused the issues. It was the incredibly dense and uncontrollable mana that flowed from these elemental planes when they descended.

Without the grand spirit there to control and guide that mana, the mana had run rampant causing changes in the weather. While things were not dangerous in any way, over time nature would take an effect. The world would reflect the influence of an unbalance of mana. That was one role the elemental spirits played. They balanced mana throughout the world just by existing.

Feeling the mana suddenly spike, Walker knew that everyone had begun sharing the mana that the grand elemental spirits had provided. As grand elemental spirits, they had extremely dense mana that they stored to strengthen themselves.

The fusion of this elemental mana fell on Fleur and Walker who could use their bonds and the eternal orb to make it fuse better. Having the experience to mold and modify the mana was exactly why Walker was able to sense the mana flowing through the natural mana rune on the top of the tower.

There were many flowing shapes that began to form around the mage tower. The creators of the mage tower had carved them in to the space around the tower to better diffuse the mana it gathered. Now that Walker had unintentionally activated them to their full capacity, a rainbow of mana began to show itself.

The entire city of Genesis began to feel the uplift in mana. Many people that had been working stopped to enjoy the influx of mana that calmed their minds and bodies. That made them feel closer to the world and their own souls.

'The world feels the call of the grand elemental spirits. The mana flows.'

This system notification went out to every sentient being. It was a warning that the mana that had become unbalanced was being influenced. Such a notification would never go out to the world if it was not necessary.

The massive influx of mana made Walker fall to his knees sweating. There was too much for him alone to handle. Everyone felt the same on the tower floors before they had to use their unique elemental avatar skills and titles.

Mordant and Alice were the two who had not done so before making things harder on them. They had not felt such a connection with mana before. It also changed the way they were currently viewing the world. Their senses showing them the ways that their mana could flow and fuse with other manas in nature. It was enlightening.

Meanwhile, Walker and Fleur were being forced to catch up to where the other grand elemental spirits were. Walker had only gained the title young sage. He was not as adverse in the natural mana as anyone else was in their singular elemental manas. They had at least focused on the single one for longer or been closer to the spirits in some way longer.

Fleur was struggling as well. She was absorbing large amounts of the natural mana that she and Walker mixed so that she could reach a proper strength to release condensed natural mana. The result was that she and the eternal orb were storing more mana. Walker felt that the spirit markings on his body were also changing slightly. Becoming more defined. Becoming a better representation of how natural mana flowed through the world.

As if something in his mind and soul was unblocked, the natural mana flowed through the adjusted spirit mark fluidly. Fleur left the eternal orb showing off a body nearly double the size. She looked more fairly like. Less of a sprite floating about.

Her defined features painted a picture of beauty in nature. The different colored elemental manas flowing around her created different patterns that created her body. "Are you ready?" Walker felt that it was time. They had so much mana waiting and the world itself seemed to be subtly guiding their senses.

Both Fleur and Walker held their hand over the eternal orb and natural mana rune. The burst of natural mana spilled out and in to the sky. Walker knew that it would stretch far and wide nearly unnoticed by most people in the world.

The natural mana was hard to sense but would have a great effect on the world. The sudden loss of mana made Walker feel dizzy. Fleur was much the same but she could still remain focused and functional as they felt the soft snow of mana spread around them. The high natural mana would allow for the elemental manas in areas where a grand elemental spirit had ascended to disperse properly.

'The world smiles upon the grand elemental spirits and their avatars.'

'You have gained the title; Growing sage. This title has released the title; young sage. This is due to the level of understanding in natural mana. The world will aid you in the growth of your understanding slightly.'

Walker saw this notification and knew that he and Fleur had been able to sense things as a team perfectly. That they and the others had made a difference for the future. The world had seen this and rewarded him. He was also sure that the others would have some form of benefit as well.

'Quest: return to Genesis for the meeting of the manas- completed

The world has recognized the meeting of manas and the new grand elemental spirits. They have taken their rightful places as pillars for elemental balance.

Reward: major growth in bond between elemental spirits and any other beings.'

The following system notification made everyone in the world stop. Because new elemental spirits had taken their places, it was a very important step for the world to change. Those that didn't know of what was happening were suddenly filled with a small amount of natural mana that made them open up to the elemental spirits being reawakened across the world.

This understanding awakened natural instincts that made many feel they were closer to mana. That they had found deeper meanings they had long been blind to. The balancing of mana had only happened a few times in the history of the world. Always when new grand elemental spirits were taking the lead. This being the case meant that the world was recognizing the natural flow it desired for itself.
