Master Of None

"I am Monty the second ranked young warrior. It is my pleasure to meet two heroes." His hand reached out to shake Walker's and Su's. He looked apologetic still for his earlier actions but Walker did not let it bother them. 

"Sirius, no lone predator sulking. You need to be more outgoing." Scylla scolded Sirius who instantly followed her order to speak to the two. 

"I am Surius the first ranked warrior in my kingdom. I hope we can train well together." His greeting made it seem that he was only interested in getting stronger. It wasn't a bad mentality to have but Walker knew it meant that it would be harder to get him to enjoy the sights of the forest elf city. 

"I had a great idea, do you remember the monster that you told me about? The one I thought to be extinct but you proved was here all along?" Scylla was heavily hinting to Walker and Su. 

"Oh, yes. Them. If we go and meet up with Midnight and Onyx they can introduce us if you would like?" Walker had realized exactly what Scylla wanted to do and where she wanted to go. The other two demi-humans appeared much more confused by this. 

'Don't worry it is a great surprise. Leader will show you the way. I will actually leave to try and find Alma and Wade. I want to introduce them while we can." Su had her own thoughts and started to head out the door. 

"You know where we will be. If anything changes we will probably end up in a training area." Walker was already expecting to head to a training area just looking at the two demi-humans. He knew that they would want to test their strength against him and the elves around. 

"Alright, let's head out and find my other party members." Walker decided that heading back t the treehouse that they stayed in was the best move. This was because he had some elemental mana crystals there and he had a suspicion that Onyx and Midnight would head there to indulge themselves. 

By the time he and the three demi-humans reached the treehouse a familiar crunching of crystal could be heard. "Midnight, Onyx. I have some people here for you to meet." Walker called out as he entered and let the other in behind him. He easily found the two at the edge of the main room relaxing and snacking. 

Midnight perked her head up smelling the new scents and Onyx focused his eyes on the two. "This is Sirius and Montey. They are two young warriors that represent the demi-human kingdom." 

"Hello, I am Onyx. Sister says she will remember your smell." The surprised looks of the two came from the fact that onyx could speak within their minds. It was enough to shock most people but even more so the demi-humans who were not used to magic since it was less used in their kingdom that valued non magical attack styles. 

"They are hoping that you two can introduce them to the friends you made. The ones that you and I trained with. In the field." Walker was careful not to drop any hints which onyx picked up on. 

"Brother, you mean the unicorns correct?" Onyx spoke only to Walker making sure that this was the thing he was mentioning. 

"Yes, you got it. Scylla is the most excited though." Walker could see the eager expression that Scylla had which was mostly because she would be able to brag to her entire kingdom about meeting a unicorn. 

"Sister says she will come too. We will lead the way." Onyx slithered on to Midnight's back and let her take the lead. Walker couldn't help but find the two adorable as ever before he quickly calmed his thoughts. He was a proud older brother with two very exceptional younger siblings. 

"Here, I have bought some falling petal charms for everyone that comes to visit the elves. If you happen to fall off the tree they will activate runes carved on them to slow your fall. They can only be used once but are worth the saved life." Walker handed the charms to Montey and Surius. 

"Thank you for the thought. We will rest much easier. I may have monkey traits, but it is rare for me to be this high.' Monty was constantly looking down since they had climbed the branches of the tree. Sirius looked more comfortable though.

"It's no problem. There are plenty of other interesting charms like this. I will show you the store on the way since we should pass it." Walker said this because it appeared that Scylla was slightly sad to not have a charm at all, however, Walker thought it silly to give her one. She had the skill to fly through the air if she so desired having a falling petal charm would never be useful to her. 

With the safety measures in place, the group followed Midnight and Onyx through the city. The looks from elves out and about grew even more not that there were both humans and demi-humans within the city. The feeling of being on display made them a little uncomfortable but for the young warriors, it was nothing. They had grown up in the coliseums and were used to being watched by many. 

That is the shop that sells the charms, and down there is a place that sells basic goods. Both have plenty of things that are worth the time asking about and buying. Oh, and up in the tree a few branches along is a fabric shop which sews ruins in to their fabric. They would be great for farmers who need water elemental mana in higher amounts." Walker shared this small amount of information to entice the newly arrived demi-humans to purchase things from those who had assisted him already.
