Master Of None

Gil knew that Zephyr was still in need of rest. So much so that she was still struggling to even move the air around his body. The real reason he knew that she was reacting so strongly was because she had to recognize the earth named elemental spirit that had come here.

"Ter? Well, this is a busy time here in Genesis, but if you would like to explore you are more than welcome. You have already seemed to bring a crowd." Walker motioned to the earth elemental spirits that had gathered.

Ter looked at Walker and seemed to play with the earth elemental mana around him, Walker felt that it would be very hard to manipulate any earth eternal mana in his presence. Where Zephyr was more free and flowing, Ter was steady and tough. This was the embodiment of the elemental mana that the elemental sports embodied.

Unlike Zephyr, Fleur had more energy at her disposal. This allowed her to directly approach Ter and look right at him. Ter didn't react much at all. He knew that he had the singularity of earth elemental mana. But he was nothing compared to a natural mana spirit. A spirit that would literally carry the will of the world at one point.

"I had hoped to speak to Zephyr. It has been some time since I decided to rest." The words seemed to call on more earth elemental mana to come near. Walker couldn't even imagine what this kind of control was like. There was a clear cut difference between him and the earth elemental spirit.

To have the grand elemental manipulation should be a powerful skill. Yet, compared to an elemental spirit which was completely bound and formed by the specific elemental mana, Walker lacked a lot of control that could come from this. If it was possible to grow and reach this insane level of control, One would need to ascend past the limitations of the world they were in. It was a theory that could drive many mages to pursue endless meditation.

"Was this how it felt to be around the fire grand elemental spirit?" Walker asked Gil offhand just to see if this was normal.

"He held back a lot more. I assume because Ter just woke up things are less controlled." Ter was watching Gil recount this and it caught his attention greatly.

"Good, we were waiting for Zephyr to return from wherever she was slumbering. I was planning to move on soon as well. However, I must choose someone to take a hold of the mana I possess. It is different. I am closer to the will of the world." There was a confidence that said this was just the way things were. Ter wasn't exaggerating but just being a stable base of reality.

"I have to say, we do not understand the world of elemental spirits as well as other things. We are just learning about what we are now calling origin runes. The information we have about elemental planes and other such things is very limited." Walker outright said it. He didn't want there to be any insults towards a grand elemental spirit.

"Zephyr was not slumbering. She had ended up trapped in this bow before we reforged it using true spirit forging. That way we are able to allow a spirit to travel in and out of an object." Gil was not going to hide the truth of what had happened.

"I see, some beings are foolish and chase ideals they are not ready to touch. Those foolish ones did learn though. They were something I watched. Something interesting that decided to rest above where I slept at one point." This little addition to history could be major. Walker wanted to immediately start asking questions until he thought better of it.

"I won't pry too much if you do not want to share things. I am sure you can tell this city is new. The people here are still adjusting. The elemental spirits are mostly newly awakened from slumber after we have found them. If there is anything you believe will help bring spirits and other beings together, please tell me." There was a little shock when Ter realized that they were conversing so easily.

Su had been silently nodding here and there. She was holding back since she felt how much earth elemental mana was around her. The high earth spirit that she partnered with was in the same state but was allowing Su to feel more through it.

"Things do seem to have changed greatly. This true spirit forging is something I can feel. That shield on your back. That earth spirit. That spirit mark. Bonds that I have not sensed. Bonds that feel right." Hearing that the bonds between the three were feeling right to a grand earth elemental spirit was spectacular, to say the least.

This meant that they had not pursued the wrong path. That Genesis was pushing those within the city to learn how to properly bind with elemental spirits without harming them. Adding in the mage tower that overall improved mana density, and there was the opportune environment for both elemental spirits and other races to prosper.

"Zephyr, I will wait until you are ready to take your own form again. For now, I will explore this strange place. That tower. These are different beings from the last time such a place existed." Ter melted in to the ground leaving them all a little stunned.

"So, I think I want to gather more wind elemental mana faster. I am going to the wind elemental floor of the mage tower." Alma had also been silently watching this all happen. She would speak to all the spirit mages she could about this.

"Gil, take as long as you need. This is important." The two nodded before walking away and leaving Walker and Su along for the moment.
