Master Of None

The party went off to rest while the enforcers left to report as Well. The only one that stayed with the party was Trish who was still struggling with the fact that she had not properly explained the side effects of the mana fruit to Remey. "Master alchemist. Please stop putting it on yourself. My party and you yourself protected me. I am fine and even gained twenty mana stat points. I am much stronger than I was before and if a little danger was the price then I am glad to pay it"

Remey had been trying to get Trish to stop apologizing and it made the entire party wonder where the strict elf they had met before had gone. Trish was showing much more than she had before and was even offering to make it up to Remey still. 

"Master alchemist. I believe that Remey had already said that she holds no ill will. Please understand that as the leader of my party I must ask you to drop this. Remey still needs rest and so do we." Walker held a strict tone that seemed to shock Trish.

"No one has ever spoken to me in such a manner…" Trish seemed to be thinking hard on the way Walker had just spoken. "But it was necessary and I will forgive it. I was not acting as a master and instead allowed my emotions to run away with me. I look forward to speaking with you on the future matters of forming an alchemy guild." 

Trish headed for her own dwelling and the p[arty noticed a few enforcers join her. It appeared that they had been waiting for her to have this time alone to speak to her about what had happened. "I can place bets on the queen wanting to hear a report from  us too after we rest." Gil was already predicting this because e this had been a larger event than expected. 

"Well, she will need to wait. Su and I already committed to helping with a mole problem in the underground. You should all come with us, it will be good training and we could find some rare items." Walker could only imagine what was down there to be discovered since the glowing mole had taken over the territory.

"Oh you know I am already coming. I need help getting those herbs so I can learn the night vision potion. I think it will have a huge advantage for us. I also believe that it will be better than any such potion we have in the kingdom." Remey had already said this but she shared again her thoughts on the potions' quality. Her energy was still going strong.

"I know you are excited but we haven't slept yet." Gil was a little touchy since he had not properly rested in a few days. Knowing that the other ambassadors were already approaching put him on edge even more. This was simply because they would have less freedom to explore after they came.

"So are you coming Gil?' Walker still didn't hear a straight answer from Gil and wondered if he would turn it down. "I know that the under ground may be tough for you to fight in since you have a ranged weapon. I just thought you would want to practice with your dagger more." 

Walker's words made Gil think more about what he was going to decide on. "I want to say no because battling in the underground will make my bow skills harder to use. But if I can get used to this sooner than later I will already have experience when we go to the dwarven kingdom under the mountains." 

"Leader, Midnight might already be asleep but we both know that she will want to go just so that she might be rewarded with slime crystals. She is getting hungrier by the day." Su brought this point up[ after noticing that Midnight had been eating larger and larger means. 

"Yes, I noticed that too. She is also flapping her wings in battle more and I think this is the muscles naturally developing. She should be using most of the nutrients from food to build those muscles. If possible I hope she flies soon. Having these charms and an easy source of them means she can jump from tree branches and practice."

Walker had realized that the charms he and Su had bought the other day held a much more practical use than just keeping them safe if they fell out of a tree. They could also serve as a fall back for Midnight while she practiced. It was not something she would always have but it was something that would be her greatest friend for the time being.

"Brother, I wish to stay outside. I want to go and explore to find comfort in my growth." This was unexpected of Omnycxx. Walker had expected him to say he could go with them since Midnight would be going. 

"Then I hope that you have a solid plan in mind. I thought you did well with the twin tailed moths earlier." Walker said this but felt a sense of loss from Onyx through their connection. 

"Brother, I know I am weaker than all of you in level but due to my species, I am stronger. I fear I could hurt one of you by accident if I do not train myself with the same intensity as everyone in the party." Onyx had been thinking about this since the movement he had his growth spurt. The last thing he wanted was to harm those he held dear to him.

"That is a great idea Onyx. I think you are wise beyond your years." Su started to melt as she patted Onyx on the head while he was in his smaller form.  She cooed over his cuteness and brilliance while the party decided it was the best time to rest before waking up to go and meet Bree.
