Master Of None

The pure light griffin had felt the change in the light elemental mana and had moved to see what was going on. This was a strange occurrence in this place from what it knew. Normally there would not be large amounts of light elemental mana building up unless someone was making it do so. This realm was different than the one it came from which was flooded with light elemental mana. 

It watched as Walker directed it and as Onyx absorbed it. The fact that Midnight was trying to take it within her body and use it as an attack was interesting because it reminded the pure light griffin of itself learning to use the light as an attack when it was younger. However, what truly caught its' eye was when it noticed Su and Alice. 

Seeing that Su was taking the attacks and resisting the light elemental mana was not unusual. It was a very good way to train and the pure light griffin had respect for the method. The fact that Alice could speak and the light would bend to her will even without her intention was amazing. The pure light griffin had grown in the light elemental mana and learned to use it as needed. But Alice naturally caused it to change and even condense. 

The thoughts of someone like her entering its realm and controlling massive amounts of light with a whisper was terrifying. It was also terrifying that Ibis had summoned it more than once now to ask for assistance along with the many other light elemental creatures for the realm of light. This world was different but allowed access to other realms. A grand mystery of existence that the pure light griffin was touching upon. 

As the group it watched began to take their rest it flapped in to the air again and rose back in to the sky to enjoy the suns light. The pure light griffin was not happy to meet the light elemental spirits again but they were constantly bothering it, however, it was just part of being in control of the most light elemental mana there. Not a single person noticed it had stopped to watch and learn from the training group. 

"I see that all of you have made great advances today. I just wish there was something I could do to help. I only have my healing skills though and even they are fading with my age." The high priest feigned being sad but the proud aura around him radiated too obviously. 

"Even a few words of wisdom are enough. I am sure there are a great many things you could teach all of us." Walker was playing the polite part but knew that the high priest was all too happy seeing them training in their many ways. 

"I believe that Alice will be protecting us if we let her train too much." Su was putting her armor back on while joking a little. 

"I definitely feel more at ease seeing her strength. All with a few words she can make light physical. The light of the church shines bright with her around." The praise made Alice blush since she was not expecting the high priest to be so happy. It also made her remember that he had jumped up in joy after seeing her. 

"I was surprised to see her do that too. I was foolish to think that all she could do was heal through song. She is much stronger than I was able to see. I can't wait to see what else she can think up." Walker was still stricken by the image of Alice condensing the light in her hand. It was something he would struggle to do without a lot more practice. 

"Brother, Alice is very strong. She can take the light that I am trying to eat. Not many can do that that I have met." Onyx was praising Alice too causing her face to deepen in to a deeper shade of red. 

Seeing that Midnight was starting to droop her head and her eyes were looking foggy made him realize that she had long reached the end of her strength and needed to rest more than anyone had noticed. Midnight had been using much more mana than usual to try and breathe the light elemental mana attack. It was because she was unfamiliar and resistant to it due to her previous affinity. All of this put more and more strain on her that was beginning to show itself. 

"I hate to say it but Midnight looks like she should head home. I think it will be best of we call it a day here." Walker could see that Su needed rest as well since her armor appeared to weigh on her more than usual. As much as Su would not admit she was tired, her body was all too telling. 

"If Midnight is feeling tired it is wise to head home now." Su agreed a little faster than Walker expected but it was what they all needed. 

"It was pleasant seeing all of you in that case. I wish you could stay longer but I do believe it is nearly time to work myself. I may be old but I am not done running around yet." The high priest and Alice saw the group to the entrance of the cathedral and waved as they descended the steps. 

"Well, Midnight, you have felt every single elemental breath attack now. It will take a lot of practice but in time you should start to b able to use them faster. One day you might even be able to combine them to use them interchangeably." Walker could only imagine that day when it would come. However, he also knew that at the rate Midnight improved it could be sooner than he expected.
