Master Of None

"Wait, but I was going to help the healers prepare the next bundles of healing supplies. It needs to get done in advance since we used so many when we were passing through the river snapper bends." Su had attempted to argue with Mordant.

However, before she realized it, she had been pulled in to the shadows and appeared to be in the forge. "Don't worry sister. I was taken the very same way from the patrol I was going to go on to stretch out and get fresh air." Onyx felt the very same as Su. He had other things he wanted to do but had been captured by Mordant.

"There are so many warriors and healers that can do those things. You two are here to get stronger before you help us deal with a wyvern. Or maybe a hundred wyverns. Have you forgotten your duty to uphold those promises?" Mordant was as sneaky as ever. He played right on their promises to deal with the greatest threat the dragonkin faced.

Su felt that she had no choice but also saw that Walker, Gil, and Remey were there. Even Midnight had been brought down from where she was sleeping to the forge. "If everyone is training together then I should be part of it. I can't let everyone work without being here." She saw that Gil was going to actively attempt to escape but Rise was there to ensure that everyone worked together.

"Walker, if you ever become as pushy as the other royal dragons I will teach you a lesson." Remey's threats seemed to carry the weight of her fist but she didn't punch out. Instead, she looked at the fires of the forge and wondered how her alchemy fire would react when there was light or dark elemental mana being mixed in. it was something she had not needed to do when creating potions.

"If you are thinking that this would be a good chance to experiment with flames, I agree. I have seen you create a potion and I am very familiar with alchemy flames." Mordant was also there to learn something. But he had been interested in the potions that Remey made for some time.

"Normally I can make the affinity potions by manipulating the materials I use. They change their affinity and burn off the parts that can't be used. Sometimes I can make one cauldron in to two different potions based on the byproducts. But if I add mana to my flames I am not sure I will be able to manipulate them the same way as alchemy fire."

This seemed to be the current conclusion of Remey's theory, she could control, alchemy fire which was a purer version of fire elemental mana. It did not branch off by incorporating any mana other than her very own mana.

The question of whether Remey could even add other elemental mana to the alchemy fire was also in the air. Walker could hear the conversation slightly as Midnight woke herself up. Rise was very encouraging since she had managed to learn how to bait Midnight through seeing her eating habits. There was also the fact that Rise saw Midnight as a hatchling and naturally leaned toward treating her as one. Which was fair, Midnight only acted mature because that was what she had learned. She was still very young.

The environment in the forge was already home to a few of the fire elemental spirits. But they sensed a grand fire elemental spirit instantly. Therefore, a few started to move around Remey waiting to see what she would do. It was the attraction of even stronger fire elemental mana.

"Then let's get on with this. I will bring my alchemy fire and walker can make it fake or light infused. But don't get angry at me if it doesn't work." Feeling that things would get interesting, Remey began to spark up flames the same way she would when she worked on a potion. But instead of directing them around a cauldron, she let the fire elemental spirits manipulate them toward the forge furnaces.

The two forges next to each other were meant for blacksmiths to work on two things at once, but this was also a perfect use for them. Walker was able to manipulate both at the same time. He could also feel that there was more or less fire elemental mana in one or the other.

Onyx took a place in between the two forges and so did Su. she was a little unhappy still that she had abandoned the healers in their preparations. However, she saw that it was an ideal chance to meditate as Walker did between opposing elemental manas. She didn't keep her armor on and fully exposed herself to the elemental manas. The thin training garments were too basic and made for working out instead of defensive training. They worked perfectly for this.

"So you want me to work on guiding a few different elemental manas while I wait for the blacksmiths to gather me a few different materials?" Gil was ready to manipulate what he could since he could actively pull the elemental mana from any elemental crystals. From there Walker would have more mana to work with.

"Yes, take the dark and light elemental crystals from over there and start to let them bleed their mana out in the air. Alice will gather the light elemental mana with her song and Rise's help. Then I will work with Mordant to condense the darkness elemental mana. It will work out pretty well since Rise and Mordant have the best elemental control of light and darkness mana than anyone else here."

Mordant and Rise looked at each other with a little confusion. "Oh? Are the two royal dragons of light and dark elemental mana unable to help experiment with the things they want made? Would the product be so poor if you helped?" Walker's mocking made the two freeze. Mordant was usually calm and collected and Rise wanted to remain over everyone. Yet, at the moment they were also put on the spot and did not like it one bit. Especially since they had been cooperating for the first time in a  while without issue.

"Let's start then," Walker smirked as he watched the two remain silent. He felt like he had won already. The flames that Midnight had woken up to were the brilliant reds that came from alchemy fire. She saw that Remey was fully focused on bonding with the fire elemental spirits that were helping guide the alchemy fire.

Seeing that this was the process, Midnight stood slowly and did not interrupt things. She instead moved toward the place where the flames were being split. She knew that Walker could manipulate the flames when it came to her golden dragon flames.

"Midnight, if you are going to add to the fires use the light elemental flame breath and the darkness elemental flame breath on either forge. We are going to make darkness elemental alchemy flames first to see if it will help make a mana gem better."

The order was enough to make Midnight cruises about how this had all happened. In a daze, she had just gone along when dragged to the forge. But after waking up fully she was lost. Everyone was here though and she could only be excited that the entire team was training together. They were family and it was better to do things together than apart.

The mana that there was darkness elemental mana. Mordant directed some towards Midnight, helping her more easily form a strong decaying flame. She was being guided by an expert to make a stronger black flame influenced by darkness elemental mana. It was teachings that most darkness dragons would never have because they usually were left to learn themselves.

The first breath of black flames that Midnight released caused a drastic reaction with the alchemy fire. It would normally just change the flames of the entire forge but the alchemy flames resisted it. They were stronger fire elemental mana that would usually stop the decaying of herbs because the alchemy fire had to make a better potion. So coming up against the mana that often caused the alchemy flames to purify an herb was tough.

Walker tried his best to pull the two together but found that the more he forced it the worse things got. That was until he began to add the natural mana. The fire elemental mana began to calm down the temperature of the forge rise slightly.

The darkness elemental mana also stopped reacting in such a violent manner. It caused a strange balance where the decaying flames seemed to remain lower in the forge and the alchemy flames ran along the top of the forge. Everyone could only wonder what the result would be when something was heated doing so.
