Master Of None

The morning was full of bright sun and calm skies. For everyone in the kingdom, it was a perfect day. At the mansion, the wandering blacksmith and Midnight had already started to forge a little. They were not allowing Walker anywhere near the forge so that when the armor was finished he would be surprised. The only one allowed to enter was Onyx who was greatly enjoying the small secret from Walker. 

Remey had disappeared to the market so that she could speak with the elves. She had an idea that she might be able to get a letter to Trish for when they went back. She wanted to be sure that every one of the founding members of the alchemy guild would be there to begin the opening process. 

Gil was gone before the sun had even risen. He left a note on the dining room table saying he needed to test the new arrows. Walker and Su knew that this was Gill talk for going off to hunt in the woods again. He was becoming more and more like the elves who enjoyed being in the forest. It was fairly comical since he tried to hide these facts a little.

"Did you know that Lisa is working with the cathedral to make the new outfits for the new cathedral in Genesis?" Su had spoken to Lisa at the dinner table the night before and found that there were about fifty people with clothing related systems that were making the garments. 

"I thought she would end up that way. She told me that she was being tested a lot by the king and Queens' tailor and seamstress. But I think that's a good thing. A lot of the businesses will need uniforms. I know Remey already placed an order for robes that can be made for different levels of apprentices and alchemy guild members." It only made sense that orders for such things would increase as the journey to the city came closer. Many craftsmen had already left for the new work opportunities building the city. 

"I think it means that the city will be finished much sooner than expected. I can't estimate how great the dwarven golems will affect the building time." There were already a few small stories from the adventurers that had acted as body guards for the goods being transported. They were mostly about the different races already working together to build unique buildings in the city. Some rumors were fantastical but always seemed to be partially true. 

"Speaking of Genesis. I have been thinking about the time we leave." Walker had been constantly thinking about their departure and what they would do. "I have the scrolls from that dimensional step guy. I think we could use them to get back and forth if we need. But I need to study them with everyone. I don't want to make the choice alone." He had been keeping himself from looking at them and attempting to pursue spatial magic. Walker knew all too well that if he chased after it he could end up with some complicated skills and a lot of wasted time without much progress. Spatial magic was not simple. 

"Those should be for emergencies. But I do agree we should look in to them. If they can help us grasp something important we may need them sooner." Su was thinking about the fact that they would most likely be traveling back and forth between the two cities often. Having a bit more knowledge on how to make that journey faster would help them immensely. 

"You mean you wouldn't prefer getting a few levels higher to improve agility, then just run to the new city and back?" Walker couldn't help but joke a little as they walked up the steps to the cathedral. 

"Su! Walker! I'm so glad to see you. There are a lot of people today. The cold season is upon us and we have a lot of parents bringing their children for some healing and purifying. The alchemists have been bringing a steady supply of medicines. Same deals as the year before but with a few more gold. I did see Remey though. She came by and dropped off a lot of salves and pills that help with sleep and fevers. She said that the main alchemy building is being remodeled and by the time it would be done the things she brought would be useless. She is a gift to the world." 

Walker and Su had not known that Remey would do such a thing. It was good to hear she did not charge any gold for the items. It was better to see them used than to go bad sitting in some vault or on some shelf. It also improved the general public health and safety during the cold season where some of the weaker children and elderly would fall victim to fever or coughing.

"Well, I'm glad she had already been by. Yesterday Alice told me you needed some extra hands. We would be fools not to come and help. I even brought my new partner Fleur. She is a bit shy but I think she will get the feeling of healing soon." There was some hope that Walker would be able to learn the natures' cure skill or a nature healing skill. Both would be a welcomed addition to his portfolio of skills. 

"It's very nice to meet you, Fleur. If you need anything feel free to come ask me. I might be working at the door but I have every corner of the cathedral memorized." Fleur peeked her head from Walker's hair to look at the younger nun and smile. It was adorable and the nun nearly melted on the spot while the three entered inside. The line waiting for healers was long. Walker and Su did not hesitate to jump in to the most swamped areas of the cathedral.
