Master Of None

"You are the most adorable puppy I have ever seen!" Su broke her calm demeanor and celebrated the unexpected appearance of the water hound. 

"It's a spirit that took the form of a hound. But It definitely looks more like a little wolf than anything. Although, very frosty." Walker laughed as the water hound began to stuffy them. There were little frozen orbs as its eyes that made Walker wonder if it really saw through them or was using the mana around it to see. 

"Walker, we need to take any other dormant water spirits we find and make sure that they are absorbing mana from frost wolves or other water affinity wolves. It is only right for a hero to make sure that we are supplying the world with happiness." Su was imagining the entire mansion full of water hounds. 

"I think that would be harder than you know. I have never found a wolf pack that wants to just hang out and let people bring dormant water spirits near them. Or actually, bring anything near them.." Walker wasn't sure if Su would try this or not. 

"Elise is here! I bet there is a tamer that has some water affinity wolves. I need to talk to her now!" Su moved faster than Walker had ever seen before leaving a curious water hound and questioning water elemental spirits. 

"Well, with Su aside. My name is Walker. I made sure all of you awakened. You are free to do just about whatever you want. You can go explore. You can stay here and we can see if we can make you a dwelling weapon. Or We can work something else out." Walker saw that they did not know what a dwelling weapon or item was so he elaborated. 

"The dwelling weapons or items are crafted items that you would help with and would let you rest in them whenever you want. But I recommend finding a friend to carry it for you. You will have a lot more fun that way." The spirits perked up at the sound of fun. They were not surprised at all that Walker could speak to them. However, the ice spirit had already started to whisper away to them. 

Feeling that he didn't have much to do he started to gather up the water elemental crystals that still had mana within them. The ones that were broken from losing their mana were stored away.

With a slight growl, he found the water hits had jumped and tackled a water elemental crystal. It was rolling around chewing on it and pulling the water elemental mana from it. "So that's going to be your chew toy." Walker left the one crystal out while he moved to start the fire elemental awakenings.

He decided to chat with the spirits while he set things up, "the kingdom doesn't have many spirits that are awake like all of you. So you will shock people a little bit but that means you will have a lot of dormant spirits hidden here and there to help wake up." 

As Walker organized the fire elemental crystal he saw that the spirits were put off. "Don't worry, I plan to awaken some fire element spirits next. I was going to wait until the moon was out to awaken all of you but since Su was here and I thought she would like to help." 

"Awake!"

"Fun! More friends!?"

"Sooner better!" 

The resounding cries from the spirits reaffirmed his decision and Walker worked a little faster. The fire element may oppose the water but it was still part of nature. The elemental spirits would get along in their own way.

"Alright, that's the elemental crystals. Now we can set up the dormant spirits." Walker moved to the crates and took a look at what there was for fire elemental dormant spirits. "Only three fire spirits. I hope one wants to join me."

"Walker! I brought Elise. Show here the most adorable water spurt she will ever meet!" Su burst back in to the room completely taken by her emotions. She had fully given in to how adorable the water hound spirit was. 

"You were right! I want a million of them!" Elise followed Su and watched the water hound chew in the water elemental crystal. They both tried to reach out and touch the water hound but it started to growl instead.

"You two know that wolves are usually territorial and protective of their food right? It has a lot of wolf traits so I assume that it will act similarly." Walker had already begun to notice the similar traits and was sure that it had absorbed the water elemental mana from frost wolves at some point before it fused in to a high spirit. Both of the low spirits must have come from outside the forest elf city.

"But it looks so petable."Elise and Su appeared to be crushed by the fact that they couldn't touch it.

"It has ice as fur since the ice spirit helped it form a body after it awakened." Walker felt a little bad that he was breaking their dreams of fluffy fur but someone had to warn them before they touched the sharp icy fur that the water hound had created.

"I guess we will need to make Walker tame some wolf puppies. Elise, can you help with that?" Su instantly began to scheme with Elise.

"I know of a wolf tamer. I'm not sure they have any water themed wolf friends yet but I will ask when I see them." Elise was deadly serious, making Su ever more serious herself.

"I don't think I can win this one." Walker looked at the water hound that just continued to chew on the water crystal. "Yup, I'll definitely lose today…" Walker looked towards the dormant fire spirits with hope.
