Master Of None

Walker was intensely focused on the dance of the priestess and the full water spirit that he didn't notice the moon rising higher and higher in the sky. No one else had moved at all for the same reason. Even Gil had returned t stillness as the light elemental mana left him and the quiver behind. 

When the moon reached the peak in the night sky the priestess stopped her dance and clasped her hands tightly together. Her eyes glowed with the light elemental mana and the fog on the ground rose in pillars around them. 

Walker could clearly see the priestess's mouth moving at a rapid pace, but not a sound was heard. This was the silent chanting skill he had been told about. The proof was in the dancing light elemental mana now being focusing on to the pedestal and encompassing the potions. 

The purification had begun along with the filling of the spirit diamond. The moon needed to be at the highest point so that the best light would be used to create the best item. While the priestess focused the elemental mana Trish raised her hand and released the first handful of seeds. She was followed by Wade and Su who copied her actions exactly. 

Every handful of seeds tossed in the air were met with light and water elemental manas causing a white and slightly blue glow. Walker could already see the soft glow of a white root extending from the seed. He turned his head and looked down towards the garden below to find that the seeds would touch the ground and burrow in. There was no sign they had ever been there other than some turned up soil. 

Walker saw that there was another change happening below the platform. The spirit cedar had started to burst in to life. It had large buds forming on every branch. They were similar to the fallen petals and leaves below the tree and Walker had a feeling that the high amount of natural mana was affecting it. 

Trish, Su, and Wade had thrown their seeds and were now watching the garden below as well. The only one that was not watching the garden was Remey. She had found something to hold in her hands and was watching it intently. Walker was unable to see this and focused on the garden below first. 

There was a luminescent light in the garden that was spreading from the spirit cedar. The plants below were also taking in tube natural mana and having a massive growth spurt. The tendrils and leaves could be seen growing to double their size and flowers of many glowing colors erupting in to their own brilliance. 

Walker couldn't help but drop his jaw. This was a sight he did not expect in the least from the garden. Even the fruits were glowing as if they were telling the world that they were ripe and ready to be picked. Walker had the feeling to run down and grab some but was reminded of the full water spirit in his hands. He needed to remain there and let it devour the water elemental mana as much as it needed. 

When the group all turned around to see the priestess she had returned to dancing. This dance was slower and had many more downward movements. She was signaling the setting of the moon and the closure of the ceremony. 

The only one that was not done with their actions was Remey. The hands she had held tightly together were glowing with the elemental light mana from the moon. It appeared she was holding a small ball of moonlight. Trish gave her a nod and Remey opened her hands. 

From them, a massive beanstalk burst out. However, it was made completely of mana and had no physical form. Walker could sense that this was made from Remey's mana and not just the elemental mana around them. He had no idea what had happened but was able to identify a small seed resting in the palm of one of Remey's hands. 

Walker used his all around appraisal skill as soon as he locked eyes on the seed,

'Mana sprout seed

The mana sprout is a plant that is and is not on the physical plane. It is part of the spirit herb family of plants and is mostly made up of mana. When a creature pours enough mana in to a seed it grows at an incredible speed. The more unique the circumstances the greater the benefit will be when it gives its singular fruit. The fruit can only be consumed by the being that gave the sprout mana, if it is eaten by another it will cause a breakdown in their mana system. The fruit can permanently increase the mana of the being that caused its growth by twenty mana.'

Walker nearly choked on the air. He had not expected something so incredibly valuable to appear here. It was a seed that could birth a fruit that permanently increased a bodys' mana but twenty. This was extremely rare and could even be argued as legendary. He wanted to ask a million questions but was instead caught by the bean stalk looking sprout bending over and leaning towards Remey's head.

The light and water elemental mana were pouring in to the corporeal sprout and illuminating Remey's pale face. She was using every bit of her mana to let the sprout grow and would not stop until the fruit formed and fell in to her hand. 

The group watched as a solid looking fruit formed of the blue and white water and light manas. This ball took on a strange patter of grey which appeared to be the effect of Remey's mana. The sprout bent more and more and separated from Remey's hands all converging in to the fruit that was now falling in to Remey's hands.
