Master Of None

Walker rested his head in his hands since he could feel the lack of mana making him tired. However, he pushed through since the tea was helping a little and he wanted to put forth his theory on how Elise could speak and understand the wind spirits without issue. 

"Have you been better able to understand Stella recently?" Walker knew that as a harpy Stella had a string wind elemental affinity and could even use some wind elemental magic skills. 

"Actually, I have. After we used our mastery skill I was able to feel closer to her even when she was high in the sky. Then one day she just looked at me and I knew she was hungry and wanted to go look for a snack. Just last week I stubbed my toe and she was able to tell and raised to find me to see if I was alright." Elise was creasing her forehead even more while trying to put the connections together. 

"And have you had any break throughs in your skills with Stella? If I remember she can use wind slashes and stuff. Can you?" Walker knew this was the last puzzle piece in place depending on Elis's answer. 

"I can! I was able to use her wind magic skills after we used our mastery skill.. That's why the guild master said I needed to train. He sent me everywhere and made me train with so many people. I was barely able to survive." Elise dramatically laid her head on the table. 

"Then I think you were able to become closer to the wind element. So much so that you are able to understand wind affinity beings without needing to learn some skills completely. I actually would bet that you will receive a skill soon since you are somewhat adapting to it now and the system you have just hasn't shown it to you yet." Walker just had the feeling that this was correct. There were also the supporting factors that pushed him towards it. 

"That's great! You can probably fight a lot better and if you can speak with the wind spirits you will have friends to help you fly around." Su was equally happy for Elise. It was a great skill to know of. 

"Then I need to go outside. I want to make sure I have the skill soon or finish learning it." Elise was out the door faster than they could imagine. She had been sitting then stepping outside in the next moment. Her enthusiasm was just too powerful. 

"So how are you feeling? Any better?" Walker knew that Su wasn't just asking about his mana. She was asking about how he felt about what they were doing in relation to his quest. 

"Well, the tea helps. I have a lesser nature spirit bonded with me. I need to meditate and understand how the elements work together to create other natural occurrences. Then I also need to speak with the wandering blacksmith. My quest says I need to choose a design for my weapon. I want to make a staff but it says I can choose other options. I might use some items I already have as inspiration." Walker was very torn about all of this. 

"I think Zephyr can handle the spirits by the way. She looks pretty happy to have them around. With our luck, they will begin to awaken the other dormant elemental spirits around and before we know it people will hear the rumors of true spirit forging from the dwarves. Spirits will make a return to the other kingdoms." Walker was proud in his small day dream of a spirit filled world. 

"First you need to rest. The day is just about over and everyone is coming home to sleep. The sun has more or less set anyway. It will be easier to worry about all of it in the morning. And sleep can help you straighten it all out. Don't forget we are supposed to be relaxing and recovering from our journey." Su was staring Walker down until he nodded in agreement. 

"I wasn't sure what to start with anyway. All I know is I have barely eaten anything today since I was too caught up in everything that has happened. Did I tell you that I found a demon that was looking to be a merchant?" Walker began telling the story as Su grabbed some snacks. She was glad that Walker had agreed to relax before she had to make him stop running around. 

Zephy was outside with all the spirits. They were all extremely curious and were not sure what to do other than to explore as much ad they possibly could. "Listen listen! This is a human kingdom and they have no idea what we are. They are lost to the ways of spirits and we are here to show them just how amazing we are!" The spirits hearing this they became more energetic. 

"The best way to do this is t fix their fields. Bad people burned them down and nature was harmed. We can fix it and find other sleeping spirits to wake up! It is an adventure to fix it all and find more friends!" Zephyrs' cry caused the spirits to start to push and move each other sp that they could leave faster. 

The sight of this small amount of chaos was soon gone and Zephyr was left with the odd few spirits that were trying to explore the training space and moving towards the gardens. "I can give you all tours! It's night time but that's fine!" She was excited and set off with a handful of elemental spirits in tow. 

Walker and Su had met up with Remey and the old master alchemist who were looking to eat and ret themselves after many experiments and testing. So far they had not been successful but were sure they were close to making a grand healing potion. It was just missing something they had yet to grasp.
