Master Of None

Gil was the first to leave and head toward the mansion. He was already promising the three demons that they would love the place to craft and practice. Although Walker didn't miss the fact that Gil was preaching how amazing the garden and the food was. 

"So Gil is the first to get followers? Or is it students?" Remey was very amused with this occurrence when she noticed. 

"Says the one that is going to have an entire guild with her soon." Walker returned a punch to Remey's shoulder for once. Instead of punching back, Su and Walker were surprised when she did not react with anything other than some embarrassed mumbling. 

"Speaking of that, we have used a lot of your potions lately. Will you be able to produce more?" Su knew that the party must be very low on potions and that Remey would have already taken note of this. 

Snapping out of her embarrassment Remey was right to it, "Yes, we are low. I also want to start testing other potion ideas. But I need to get an herb garden planted. It will be very important. I think we should have a greenhouse built. I know a few from the alchemy building that will be able to find a crafter. But herbalists will be important too. I have a lot to do. Not to mention shock that old man." Remey was betraying her words. Her face said that she missed the old master alchemist and was not actually trying to shock him at all with all her new information. 

"I would say I will help, but you know how things go. I will most likely end up being dragged here or there. But when I see something interesting I will do my best to bring it to you. Not to mention that I have the herbs and seeds stored in my inventory for you." Walker was a little sad that he would surely end up being pulled off somewhere else. 

"Su, what are you planning to do? I know you have missed healing here at the cathedral." Remey realized that Su hadn't said what her plans were yet. She had kept fairly calm for a while. 

"I know that leader is going to have to train with Midnight since she wants to learn of other elemental dragon breath attacks. But I want to learn more about my system. I am a draconic guardian. I am related to Midnight and dragons as well. I feel like I have ignored it and need to properly understand the skills I can learn and use." Su was firm with her words and it made sense. She had a system that they were all lost to so far. Even Remey, who had a unique system, was a bit more knowledgeable. 

"That sounds like a pretty good goal. We have some time for things to figure themselves out so it will probably be the best time. Especially since the date of the summit appears to be three months now instead of one. They need to accommodate the merfolk who are sending someone. If they went on with it without them then it would potentially sour the relationship with them." Walker was sure that this was all going to fall in to place. However, he did worry the demons may act again before this. 

"I think I will head out now. The more I think about all that, the more I want to make more health and mana potions." It was understandable that Remey was feeling a little stressed. If making the potions that could save lives and help others was her way to relax then no one was going to argue with her. 

"When I get back I will drop all the herbs off in the alchemy lab. Then you and the master alchemist can work through them." Walker knew that Remey would need some time to speak with the old master alchemist before they could even get in to the herbs that they brought back. Knowing that she had that time was relaxing enough. 

"Then I'm off. If you happen to see a demon that needs to learn alchemy, make sure you extend an invitation to the alchemy guild that will be built soon." Remey smirked as she walked away. She was going to have it all set up sooner than she ever imagined. She had believed her dreams would not come true so easily but now, they were one after the other. 

"Hey, isn't that your friend over there?" Walker pointed out a certain violin player walking through the crowd with a few other musicians. 

Su looked away and found that there was no one that would tease her and realized she could just nod. "I should go say hello. It would be rude if I didn't." She headed off leaving Walker who was smirking as well now. 

"Your party seems to have gone off on their separate ways. It makes sense now that you are all back again. Everyone seems to be thrown in to a lot of chaos these last few months." Barry had returned from the fields after issuing quests to the adventurers to evaluate and patrol the fields. There were also escort missions for farmers to return to what was left of homes to collect valuables and begin to decide how the kingdom would rebuild farmhouses and barns. 

"They have. We all have some personal goals we want to work on since we are home. Thank you for everything. I never thought I would be able to fight beside you." Walker couldn't help but let his amazement show in his voice. Fighting with Barry had been intense. He felt the power Barry had in each move. 

"I didn't think you would be able to keep up so soon. You still have a ways to go, but you make up for your lower level with skills and knowledge. When you get up to my level you may just be unbeatable." Barry laughed his hearty laugh. 

"Actually, vice guild master Barry, what level are you?" Walker had to ask. He needed to know. He put on the best polite face he could to bait Barry.
