Master Of None

"I might have overdone it there. I use a lot of mana to do things like that and it's a really awesome skill that could help me with more fusion skills. But if I use it I will be out of a fight much faster." Walker had felt the resistance when the blue ivy wrapped around one of the wings and it had been severed. He felt a lot of his mana leave him. Then he rushed to create new ones and felt even more pressure on top of mana leaving him. It was a risky decision and a lesson he had coming to him for a long time.

"That means you should be doing what all the other mages do. Meditate and do the whole inner peace thing. I prefer one with the forest since I can just relax around trees and plants. But to each and their own." Alma adored her time with the forest and just her and the forest. She felt closer to the elves that had once lived and their roots. The simple peace of the forest was enough for her to reach a calm and happy state no matter what was happening.

"That's a good idea. I think I have put off doing those kinds of things since I don't really see myself as just a mage. I can use so many weapons or skills but I am neglecting the ones that I took on first. I focused on magic because that's what the party needed. Now I have hit a wall with it and need to figure out how to strengthen my mind and body to use magic further. That might be why I am a little stuck on using natural mana too." The realization made Walker feel as if he had been a major fool all along. He should have focused on strengthening his body overall. Just like Remey was right now.

"You should head to the mage tower. You said there are elemental floors there right? Then you can train in those and meditate on them. Understand all the elemental manas and figure out how they strain your body. Maybe you will even gain resistance. That's how Su said she would train when she had some free time. She wants to improve her resistance to elemental manas with Midnight." Su had mentioned this in a soft voice while mostly thinking to herself. Gil had been lucky to catch it and remember it off the top of his head.

"I can't imagine how powerful Su will be when she can resist all the elemental manas. She will be invincible." The fact that Alma knew that Su was already resistant to poisons made her a little afraid of Su. Alma relied on her unique blue ivy poison to protect her and just the idea that someone could easily resist it made her wary. Not that she was genuinely afraid of Su, Su was too kind and protective to be feared.

"You say that but Midnight is born naturally resistant. Imagine what will happen if she trains that aspect. Midnight the tank dragon walking through fire and ice to steal your bacon." Gil could see it now. A giant dragon trying to steal the food from his plate.

"Gillllll. Let's go and relax in the trees!" Zephyr wanted to go and replenish the wind elemental mana she had used. She wanted to spend time at the tops of the trees while she watched Gil practice his dagger moves. It was a habit they had gotten in to and Zephyr missed it since she had not been able to do so while she rested in the bow during their last journey. Zephyr normally stayed in the bow just in case Gil needed her at a seconds' notice.

"Ah, you heard my partner. That's that. I will catch up with you both later. Alma, get some real rest. I know you have a meeting but you need to breathe in between." Gil didn't even let Alma talk back. However, Walker managed to see the happy look on her face as she gave them both a wave to walk toward the group of elves that had formed to wait for her.

,m "That just leaves us to practice. Why don't we take the rest of the day to head toward the mage tower and train? Maybe we will lock ourselves up there until the dwarven army is ready to leave. Hardcore training!" Fleur seemed to enjoy this energy. She would be able to absorb more elemental mana and make it in to natural mana. That would help her get stronger and Walker would be able to handle the power he could wield better.

Gil turned his head slightly as he walked away. He had heard what Walker said and made a mental note. He had been worried lately about Walker. The many things that piled up on his shoulder had started to show and Gil wondered if Walker would manage to take the time to train and truly understand the powers he had. The natural mana and the young sage title were much larger than any of them had said out loud. Walker needed to train them.

"Stop spacing out. He will be fine. You need to work on your skills too. Or else you won't be able to keep up with him once he gets a hold of his own skills." Zephyr looked at Gil and tried to pinch his face.

"I know, I know. I can't let my brother get ahead of me. I already let him take the lead too much." Gil had long thought of Walker as family and his brother. But he felt much better saying it. He wanted to support the entire party. He wanted to be rivals with them. He wanted to make sure that he would always be by their side. And to do that Gil would get stronger and unravel the mysteries of elven dagger techniques.
