Master Of None

The celebration that began was one that many in the city would remember. There had been an announcement that there would be relative elven ceremonies, however, no one from other races expected just how important they would be. Nor did they realize how much would be happening.

The forest elves had begun archery competitions showing off their arcane archery skills. There were also many of the elven mages that had begun to show off the nature related magics that they knew.

Related to the nature based magics, many of the farmers came in to the city after their day's work had finished. They wanted to learn from the elves about crops. This was an interesting developments because the elven race had many small tricks that helped the farmers care for plants in unique ways. Yet, the demi-human farmers also had extremely efficient ways to make the crops grow that taught the elves things as well.

"These are the stone elves that lived underneath the ground. I never knew that were within that mountain." Terron had become very interested in the stone elves after learning that they had hidden away within the mountain without his knowledge.

"Did you ever have a home near them?" Walker was curious. Terron had not spoken much but was finally branching out about the elves. The other royal dragons had also taken an interest. Especially Ventus since the wind elves had arrived and seamlessly joined in with the other elves.

"Yes, some years ago we found a place we desired to live. Unfortunately, the mana moved in strange ways and I did not stop there. It was not as good as where I have been up until recently." There was part of Terron that now realized the odd mana movements must have been the stone elves.

"They lived there at war with the dark elves until they came together to stop the deaths of those they loved. Years past them by and now the dark and stone elves are some of the closest elves in the race." Walker didn't hide the information from Terron. Ti was something he would hear eventually.

"I see, and they have unique magic that controls the earth and the shadows?"

"Why? Are you interested in seeing it with me, Terron?" Mordant nearly dragged Terron away. Walker was impressed since Terron was a tough earth royal dragon. They were not moved easily. It just showed how much Terron was beginning to relax and open up. He may have been stubborn but could be open to changes eventually. It just took patience.

"Walker! This is one of the wind elves. Watch them step through the air just like you!" Gil was happy to show off the wind elf wearing green robes. The elves effortlessly stepped in to the air as if it was a stair waiting for someone to travel through.

"I thought you would be able to do that. I managed to learn it by watching a similar skill but you are definitely more adept in it." The wind elf moved forward to shake Walker's hand.

"Of course it is natural to us. We get the skill as part of our affinity and training. It was a surprise to see the level of this city. The wind elves have always followed the winds. We rarely had a solid home. Now that there is a place to settle down, we might stay more often." Gil was already on the move with the wind elf with him. It was clear to see that Gil was learning about his won affinity.

"Brother, I believe you have something to explain to us." Midnight and Onyx had waited for the wind elf and Gil to move away. It had been a short meeting but one that Walker was happy about.

"Midnight. Onyx. I am sorry for leaving you behind and rushing away with Mordant to the light dragon village. I left you and did not even think to speak with you. I should have respected you as my family to properly let you know." Walker had already seen that the others had accepted this. Alice had been a little more annoyed with him but she now had her own worries that she was focused on. Particularly her bloodline which was newly discovered.

"We knew that you were safe, but we did not know where. You were far away and the connection was hard to grasp." Onyx was speaking for both him and Midnight. Both of them wanted a straight answer before someone else came to bother Walker due to the celebrations. Midnight also wanted to go and enjoy the celebrations with the dragon hatchlings that were moving about to meet the royal dragons they arrived with.

"In the future I will do more to communicate what is going on and where I plan to go. I promise that if it is within my power." Walker's words seemed enough to make Midnight and Onyx relax a little. However, Walker should have expected the next question.

"What was it like, the light royal dragon village?" Onyx was more curious than Midnight was because he could consume the light elemental mana as sustenance. There was also the chance that he would be able to learn something unique about light elemental mana from the older dragons and dragonkin that studied it religiously.

"Well, the light royal dragon and other light dragons were very reclusive. They stayed in the sky closer to the sun. But the dragonkin used a special sword technique called the fading sword." Walker changed the form of the eternal orb and demonstrated the skill.

Unknown to Walker, he had attracted the younger light elves that had chosen to leave their home and come to Genesis. They began to gather as Walker showed off the skill. "It is unique because it functions as a second attack. Your opponent has to defend, then be prepared to defend within a split second from another attack also controlled by you."

This demonstration was met with more elves that were not necessarily light elves. They were spell swords that wanted to see how this worked. "Brother, I could use this on my tail. I could use the tail slam and then use the light to attack again. I can already create armor to bond with the armor I wear out of light and darkness elemental mana." This excited Onyx because he had not considered a delayed attack like this. It could greatly strengthen his ability to fight.

"Walker really seems to be great at gathering a crowd without meaning to." Alma was very happy to see the elves accepting each other and even starting to share the skills that they knew with one another. The spell swords in particular were a system that most elves had regardless of their affinity.

"It is nice. You're right. I think this has gone exactly as we hoped. I bet that we can start bringing back a lot of the high elf magics and systems over the next few years." From Gil's point of view, the elven race was just going to get stronger by returning to their roots. They had divided themselves for too long.

"You both have done a lot for the elven race. I think you two should take a little time to relax. I know there are two human cities that need to be met and bargained with, however, they will take some time. Just relax." Su had been standing with them and decided it was best to leave the pair off with this advice. The elves were celebrating and it was a happy day. She wanted them to feel it in its entirety.

"Did the two lovebirds make you feel awkward?" Remey joined Su who was walking toad some of the elves she had seen in the cathedral before. She wanted to make friends with the new healers that were working together to help everyone.

"No, I just wanted them to know that they had nothing else to worry about for a while. Alma has had this goal for a long time. It's important." Remey nodded along with how Su felt. She too had a desire to see this kind of future.

"I will be more interested to see what they can do when they come together. Trish said that the alchemy the high elves were able to do was much more controlled. They had a better understanding of how to pull all the nutrients from an herb. That means better healing potions. It also means new experiments." The small giggle that Remey had told Su everything she needed to hear.

"I am just glad that there is a new horizon for them. I can't imagine what would happen if they remained divided. If everyone stayed far from each other there would be no progress." Su had a much deeper view about the united races. A view that many were beginning to grasp as well.
