Master Of None

The gold flames erupted from Midnight's mouth and caused the burst stone coal to catch fire. The gold color dulled as the fire started heating things but instead of becoming red, the color changed to a deep orange gold color. There was a significant amount of mana coming from the flames too. Walker could only compare the mana to natural mana. It was clear that Midnight was able to use all elemental dragon breath elemental attacks. If the gold flames were to be explained, then it would make sense that they used all the elements to create themselves. This was also why the golden flame heart skill was so valuable to what they were crafting.

Walker was tossing in pieces of coal to keep the fire at the hottest possible while the wandering blacksmith grabbed the first diamond plate. The space may have been open around them but it was quickly reaching hotter than the forge had before. Thankfully, the wandering blacksmith had already prepared the anvil and forge furnace to deal with this kind of heat. Walker also had the ice jade charm that midnight had given them to counter some of the heat. 

The plate went in to the heat and became red hot in seconds. There was not much time to waste so Walker began to pull at the natural mana around him. It was a very slow process compared to the other elemental mana that he could manipulate. But he could also feel the spirit mark on his back absorbing it and increasing the draw towards him. 

The way he was doing this while the wandering blacksmith started to pull out one of the first pates placed in the forge fires was ideal. Walker had to both focus on keeping the fires hot to create the best and balanced heat for the pates and he needed to manipulate the natural mana he had still just started to learn. Doing both would help him in the long run when he needed the natural mana in an instance. 

Midnight would jump in and breath flames again here and there to keep the mana flowing. These additions were the reason that the wandering blacksmith was able to fully focus on the runes he was carving in to each plate after he changed their shapes to be smaller and more uniform. They had already been forged once but now were becoming shape and small diamond shapes with runes that Walker had never seen on them. If he knew more about runes he would be able to tell what they did and how they would work. But for now, he was in the dark and couldn't focus on figuring them out. 

The influx of natural mana seemed to be doing the trick. Fleur had already stirred in her rest to appear in the air behind Walker. She groggily floated over in front of him with a confused expression on her face. "I'm glad you are awake. I was wondering if you could help me make a dwelling item for you and me to fight with?" There was even more confusion but Fleur was already exploring the forge and had found the materials placed on the table that they would use. 

The pure elemental crystals interested her greatly since she could resonate with them to a degree. "Those will be part of the item we make. I need your help to draw the natural mana in tot hem and fuse these in to the moldable crystal ball. Then we will connect everything using the runes and other spirit forging methods." There was no guarantee that Fleur understood thins in the least. However, Walker had the feeling that even if she didn't understand the logistics, that she understood the desire for assistance.

Walker was glad that the third link had been completed through his actions in keeping the forge fires burning. Now there were only a few plates left and Walker needed to prepare the materials on his side for them to connect everything together.

Walker wasn't upset to see that there was not a single reward after this. It was simple and easily explained. This entire chain quest had been to help him create the ideal weapon and item for him and Fleur. There was no reason to expect more than that. He would be able to bring out his full potential once it was all completed.

"Let's balance these elemental manas in the moldable crystal ball." Walker and Fluer copied each other and placed their hands on the moldable crystal ball. The crystals were all touching it equally in a circle so that they could more easily be fused in to it. 

The flow of mana was extremely easy to find with the help of Fleur. She was one with all elemental mana. The main difference this made was that through their bond, Walker and Fleur could more closely feel the elemental mana that was reacting to their will. The darkness and light elemental mana already in the moldable crystal ball for example.

The removal and rebalancing of this mana was the point that caused Walker the most stress and would be the biggest turning point for the possibility of success.
