Master Of None

"I don't think I will have twenty years to hang out and protect a mana crystal so that it can absorb the element I want it to." Walker had thought for a moment that the elementless crystal was going to be something that he could easily fill with his own mana or by channeling the natural elemental mana he wanted. 

"You could have spirits fill it then. But that would mean you have them residing in your body, and you were a spirit mage." Bree was a little smug saying this because it was her pride and joy to house a spirit with each of the elements within her body. They were just as much a part of her as she was a part of them. 

"I don't think I will try to learn that skill. From what I have seen from the elemental spirits I do not wish to take them away from their desired homes. Unless it's necessary...actually, I do have a full water spirit that is resting dormant right now. One of the greater water spirits told me to take it along with me. They said that this one could wake up the dormant spirits in my kingdom potentially." 

It was Bree's turn to be amazed. She had never seen someone given a spirit like this before. This was abnormal. If someone was to meet a spirit and bond with them then it was possible for the spirit to stick around or like a spirit mage become one with them. But to just be given a dormant spirit to take on a trip was radical.

"Why would you have been given a full water spirit that is dormant? That is just too much. If it is dormant it has either been so for many years after deciding to rest or newly formed. There is no reason anyone, not even a normal spirit mage would be given one." Bree was trying to figure this all out when Walker took the frozen blue drop from his cloak. 

"This is the full water spirit. I was lucky enough to watch it form with Sierra. The great water spirit said that I should take it with me because it would most likely leave to find its own garden when it awoke." Walker wasn't sure why this was such a big deal but decided not to show it. 

"It's so pure. It is newly formed. It's also larger than usual. T must have gotten more elemental mana from the greater spirit to speed up the condensing process. How interesting." Bree mumbled while looking at the dormant full water spirit. 

"The spirits I house are full spirits. One is near the greater water spirit evolution, but that is going to take another few years. If that full water spirit awakens and chooses to stay in the garden or kingdom you bring it, you will see a large change for sure. Just remember that you are blessed to have the presence of a spirit around you." Bree had started to accept that this human actually had a spirit with him and decided it was best to move on before she got too caught up.

"Is there any way you can show us what the spirits look like? Or would that be too forward? I apologize if it is, we are not used to the culture and ways of the elves yet." Su was curious since she had not seen any spirit but for the dormant full water spirit, Walker had shown her. 

"It is not forward at all. We actually like showing ourselves off. It is rare that we have a chance to do so since the work with crystals is never ending. But that's what happens when we have so many arcane marksmen, they all need the crystals for their arrows." Bree sounded a little sour but behind it was a lot of excitement. 

There was a slight fluctuation in all of the mana around them. Bree appeared to fade a little losing some of her shape. This was a shocking scene to them since it was something they had never imagined possible. Walker was even worried enough to start to step forward and ask if she was alright when he noticed that different elemental manas had started to condense around Bree.

Much smaller pixie like figures started to appear around Bree. They were made up of different elements that had spontaneously appeared from the mana in the air that had condensed. The little fire spirit was the first to manifest and flit about. It looked at Walker very curiously before moving on to Su. It didn't put off heat but Walker could tell what elemental mana it controlled even if his eyes were closed.

Next the water, earth, and wind full elemental spirits came in to sight and followed the actions of the full fire spirit. Not a single one of them spoke which was not surprising. They were looking at Walker the most and he could only guess this was because of the skills he had to manipulate all the elements. 

Before Bree focused again the light condensed in the room and a bright white colored full elemental spirit appeared. This was at the same time as the shadows on the floor condensed in to a full darkness elemental spirit. It was darker than any night Waker had ever seen and was very interested in Su for some reason.

"They are all very adorable and powerful don't you agree?" Bree was back to a solid looking form. "They seem very interested to meet you two, I wonder why that is…" Bree was curious as to why the spirits seemed to be fluttering around the two so much. The last time they acted this way was when they met another spirit mage. She knew these two were not spirit mages, but maybe they had some unique traits or skills that the spirits liked.
