Master Of None

​ The rest of the day passed in a blink of an eye. Everyone had rushed around here and there getting on the same page. The rest of the family had been extremely enamored with the hatchlings. Hilda had even rushed right to the kitchen to make them special dishes.

"So, if Onyx is going to the tamer's guild branch to find Elise today, what are you planning on doing." Gil had found Walker in the morning eating breakfast in the dining room. Su had already left for the day with her parents. She had decided to have a family bonding day and relax. Remey had stayed in the alchemy guild since there had been so much to do. Midnight was off with Onyx since she had become protective of the hatchlings too.

"I was thinking of trying to do a little training. I want to get more accustomed to some of my skills. Maybe I will run around Genesis to get used to my dance of seasons skill. It seems a little odd but the streets are pretty busy." The main reason that Walker wanted to improve this skill out of all of his skills was a simple fact that he felt lacking. When he used it he was also moving by instinct and feeling. He should also be able to predict the movements he saw from others and act accordingly. He needed to get his mental processing on the same page as his instincts when it came to his movement skills.

"Then you should come with me. The forest elves have started to work with the water elves to make a better environment. To say the least, it will be perfect for you to train." Gil had seen the expanded area that the forest elves and water elves had begun to make. It was very impressive and a lot of the elemental spirits had begun to gather. There.

"I can do that. If that's part of the plan it will be easier. Let's just walk through the center of the city on the way. I want to make sure that I check in on the Genesis building for any dragons or dragonkin that stop by." Walker had a feeling that the dragonkin would be sent at any time. The rogue dragon problem was only one of the many things the dragons had going on, so with the added patrols, he knew that they would speed up sending their blacksmiths to learn true spirit forging.

"Then let's move!" Gil didn't even let Walker finish his food. He was pushed out the door. "Oh, and I will beat you there!" Gil dashed off. He was trying to get warmed up since he wanted to practice his dagger techniques. So the run would get his body warmed up to stretch and bend in the odd ways he was learning. His research had brought him to an interesting few pages from the mage tower. The desert elves had broken records of the dagger skills since they had ended up focusing on magic so much.

Chasing Gil through the streets revealed a lot to Walker. Since Gil had begun to practice the elven dagger arts he had changed the way he moved completely. The speed that Gil had was still there but it was more elegant. Walker could easily relate it to the way that water moved and how trees swayed. But the strange part was that he was also able to relate it to the wind. Part of him wondered if it was the overall dagger techniques slowly coming together out of muscle memory.

"You didn't even catch up at all. What were you that slow or just still asleep." The comment was enough to get Walker in to the mood for a little sparring.

"Ha! Was watching how you moved so I could take you down easier later. Just because you learned a little about daggers doesn't mean you can handle a battle of close combat." The eternal orb changed in to a sword form before returning to an orb. The mocking expression on Walker's face made Gil catch on that Walker was trying to start a small fight.

The two boys would have kept on like that in front of the Genesis building if they didn't notice the people looking at them wondering what they were doing. "Ehm, well. I think we are here a little early. Still no dragon or dragonkin." The comments and attitude changed but the fire between the two didn't. Gil was still ready to jump in to his rivalry with Walker.

"So, can you tell me what the levs have been working on?" Walker wanted to catch up with Alma while he was in their area of Genesis. He hadn't actually gotten to speak with her in depth for some time.

"Well, the water elves have begun to get closer with the forest elves. It's really easy since their elemental affinities and skills work together better. They are also helping investigate the desert elves' past. But the biggest project right now is their expansion. At this rate a small forest will be within the city, a small lake, and who else knows what." The environmental areas were heavily occupied by the elemental spirits.

"Well, I understand them being comfortable, it also will help certain races and jobs work. I'm sure the tamers will even bring their monsters to elemental areas. Since the elves are helping in the tower they might be able to develop similar areas like the elemental rooms."This was exactly what the elves had in mind. Not only a safe haven like their natural homes but a place that they could bond on their own territory with other races. It would be more comfortable and less stressful for the older elves set in their ways.
