Master Of None

Walker woke up to being pulled out of bed by Midnight and Onyx working together. "I'm awake! I'm awake! Let me get cleaned up and we will go to explore!" Walker fell out of bed laughing like a fool while Onyx and Midnight tried to keep themselves still to wait. Onyx couldn't even find the words to reply due to how excited he was. Now that the two of them had energy to spare it was time to find and explore every little thing in the city. 

Walker hadn't even left the Genesis building before he heard the symphony of hammers and moving golems. Midnight and Onyx both grew even more restless as they rushed toward the large wooden door. It was a wonder how they were able to push it open with their smaller stature. 

Once they had made it out back to the streets, they were greeted with the brisk morning air and a bustling city. There were carpenters making measurements, golems moving materials, and many other forms of builders rushing around. The sight of the night was completely different than now. It was silent and peaceful in the night but now the noise could raise the dead. 

"I have a map that was left in my room. Let's go and check out the spots that are marked." Walker knew that the larger plot of land marked on the map was for their dwelling. He was sure that it was still left empty so that the party could build as they see fit. But no one would expect them to teleport their mansion here. It would greatly shock the workers but would make the party at home. 

The part that caught Walker's eyes were the other spots nearby marked out. It made sense that the mansion had a large plot of land nearby the guilds and forge buildings. This was mainly because the party would often have to go to these buildings along with the market area. But as Walker moved down the street admiring the shops being built he found that the finished shops matched the marking on the map. 

"Are these-" 

"Yes. These were apparently made after a certain king of ours gathered the information that our family members wanted to open shops." Su had been too eager to look at everything herself and just barely got there ahead of Walker. Her relaxed and bright face showed how happy she was that the information had traveled around. 

"That is Lisa's showroom and production area. That will be the private forge for the wandering blacksmith. And that will be the kitchen that your mother can design and change in any way. Plus two small shops on both sides for us to sell general items as we desire. We even have the certificates of approval already signed by the king and waiting for the elf and dwarf representatives." Su was still having trouble believing this as she said it. But she had found the letter taped to their doors explaining all of this and handed them to Walker to check as well. 

"So we all talked about it and it made its way right up to the king who made this happen. I guess we will need to thank him and think about how much we all talk outside of us about things." It was pretty amazing how this had happened but also made Walker realize he was a little more indebted to the king. 

"Brother, sister and I will explore around here." Onyx and Midnight were gone in a flash leaving Su and Walker standing in front of the shop that was supposed to be Lisa's when she arrived. 

"I guess that leaves us to mark out the land where we will move the mansion to." Walker had carefully studied the scroll so that he had the runes necessary memorized. He was a little sad that the runes were only used with this scroll and would be useless afterward. But this wasn't an issue. It was just how things worked and he was blessed to be able to use them once in his life. 

"They gave us a little too much. Don't you think?" Su found that the space that the mansion took up would still be considered small compared to what they had been given. There was enough room to build two more mansions here if they desired. 

"I think that is even a little stream frozen there. I think Gil's mother will jump at that to use as water for the plants." Both of them laughed at the future work they would be doing to change the garden to have a free flowing water system. 

"Alright, now to use this communication crystal ball thing that Scylla gave us. She said I needed to channel mana inside of it and make sure it's focused on who I want to talk to holding another one of these." The pair huddled around the crystal ball and saw it begin to glow. "We will be teleporting the mansion in six hours. Be ready then." The crystal ball shattered and the dust blew away. The message had been sent and now they would set up their space. 

The pair was quick to mark out the best way for the mansion to be placed and still be able to access the road easily. They also took in to account the walls which would need to be expanded and the fact that the training field would more than double in size. If they really wanted they could also add an extra green house for odds and ends herbs that Remey might grow. Overall, it took them a total of two hours to just lace markers. 

Walker spent the next three hours drawing the rune designs on parchment so that they could be posted at the four corners of where they would be teleporting the mansion. His hands were steady and his format successful. Once all four were in place, he and Su took their time to relax and prepare. They wanted to explore the city for the first time with their families, even though the city still had a lot of buildings left to do.
