Master Of None

"Thank you so much. Everyone has so much energy after being stuck there for so long. We held our mana in and stored it as much as our bodies allowed. It was at the cost of pure physiques, but well worth it. Now, look at what we have done in just a few hours." The water elf that was speaking with such vigor had been a grand water mage. He was the strongest in the city but he had been poisoned and put to sleep by Lust. She had not risked allowing him to roam about but she had kept him alive in case she needed to send him to a strong enemy. Unfortunately for her, she had not expected a sneak attack.

"It's the least I could do. I learned a lot watching all of you use your manipulation skills. I should be able to use water more effectively. I didn't think of making platforms or boats out of ice to move the larger debris." Walker was very happy to have seen these new ways of using water elemental mana. He felt that he had barely scraped the surface.

Since Walker had focused on combining elemental mana to make natural mana he had missed the steps to reach a higher understanding of certain elemental manas. This put him radically behind some when it came to being able to use it. Even though he had used ice to defeat Lust, he had not been alone and would not have been able to withstand the battle if he was under the same stress alone. Lust had also been the weakest sin as of yet.

"No, you do not understand. Those books you found came from our elder's library. He may not walk through the waters as he once did but he will be overjoyed once he wakes up again. Now that he is free his fervor for studying new magic skills will be revived. I think he will visit your mage tower before any other." It was good news to hear that the water elves were accepting Genesis and what coming together with other races would bring. The overwhelming positive attitude came from the simple fact that the water elves had seen the darkness and despair. Now they could bask in the light and would do all they could to remain there. Being petty and pushing others away would be a waste of their lives.

"So, I heard one of you saying that you use ice to make arrows? It's different from what the forest elves do. Can one of you show me? Maybe I can be inspired." Gil found a way to jump in and get on the topic of arrows.

"Yes! One of our saviors and an arcane marksman can definitely learn from our ice arrow skills. It would be our honor to help. It's enough to meet a human with an elvish system alone. Teaching and learning for you is the same as teaching a fellow elf." The mage took Gil toward a group of enthusiastic mages.

The water elves were not known for archery like the forest elves. They focused more on their magic and existing with purified water. But now that they were meeting an archer that had a hero title, had rescued them, had a system that most forest elves had, and even had a good relation with the first elves. They had to delve more in to it and show off some skills that were not as widely used with them.

Leon had been dragged away toward the other lake and was focused on what he was doing. Gil was just stopping by to let Walker know he had finished his side for the time being. It wasn't that they were done but they had taken a lot of the surface debris away and would leave the remainder to the merfolk that had been contacted by Scylla. It was clear that they were eager to see the water elves when Scylla had told the small group Leon had left behind in Genesis city.

"Walker. I was looking for you." It had been some time but Alma had finally managed to find Walker at a free moment." She looked flushed and not in the best of health.

"Are you alright? You seem a little tired. We should head over there and take a minute." Walker knew that he too was a little under the weather. He had been drinking mana potions continuously while trying to make sure he could do more to clean the mess that was the lake. He felt that he was able to do much more to help than he knew.

"Sure…I just wanted to talk for a little while." This made Walker realize that Alma had something more important to speak about. It didn't appear that she was here to talk about the water elves or anything either. Her looks were constantly in to the air as if she was reading her system over and over.

Once they sat down Alma was silent while she worked out how to say what she needed. "I have a quest. One blogger than I thought it was and should be. It's not who I am and I don't know if I should pursue it." Her nervousness was all too clear and Walker felt he was about to hear something big. But the nervousness Alma had shown spoke to how much this stressed her.

"When I spoke earlier. Before the battle. I pledged myself to the elves. I did more than that. And after the battle, I checked my system. Have a chain quest. But it is for a title I will receive at the end. I don't know if I could ever deserve it. I don't know if I could ever achieve it or if I am the right person for it." She took a deep steady breath, "The title is High elf queen."
