Master Of None

"Well, it appears we have lost Remey and my guest. Who would have thought I would be forgotten so fast." This wasn't too unexpected but Alma still felt a little sting.

"You should have known it would happen. You brought Remey something alchemy related right after I brought her something. Now she is going to be caught up for days. Not that it's a bad thing. She will be busy enough as it is in the next months or two." Since there would be competitions, Remey had to focus on those and how they would work. Since the colosseum being finished would be the focus of everything then she would need movable equipment for the entire event, not to mention enough for the high number of applicants.

"I expect the city to be even busier. I think it's good though. It sped up the trade between the forest and here. Now many people will have fair prices on different goods through every kingdom. Genesis is acting like a border for everyone so that there are no disputes. It's stressful but working well." This was something that had been noted by every representative. They knew that the buffer would mean a tough job to start for the guards and merchants but would smooth over very quickly.

"Did you get your new identification yet? I need to. It condenses everything and the guilds have craftsmen everywhere to make sure that everyone gets one. Whoever thought it up is a genius." Walker had seen people with the small plates of metal that could identify them. He was jealous that he had missed the chance to get one early and had it on his to do list for the week.

"Yes, I got one first thing this morning as an example for the water elves. They needed them as well. It appears that Lust threw a great many items away. Despicable. They are still finding some of their treasure in the muck of the lakes. Luckily their real treasures are still sealed away under their castle." The water elves had many things unique to their water affinities and losing them would have more than ruined their culture. Thankfully they had been untouched for years and survived the incidents caused by Lust.

"Oh, that's good. I didn't even think about that but you're right. I bet there are many historical artifacts or items that could have been lost…" Walker had not focused on such a thing and really only thought of treasure as weapons or gold. Not that he usually needed to worry about treasure. "I expect them to work well in Genesis. They should be able to adjust with all the new people coming every day. Their water magics should be a very big help."

"I agree. I think they will be part of us getting our own fields started for growing. We have plenty of farmers that came from the demi-humans that need help making the land good enough to grow. They already started plowing even though the ground is still frozen. But apparently, it has started to warm up just enough to begin so who am I to say not to?" Alma had a sense for the season as an elf, but that did not mean she had the slightest idea about when it was best to start growing food.

"I didn't realize how far they would set up the fields. Assuming we would keep expending though…" Walker could imagine just how large the city would be in the next few years. They would be in a rush for space up until the end of the next year. Right now though, there was space to use as they saw fit. "What else do you have planned for the day? Anything big?"

"I planned to visit those elves left to Gil's training. Apparently, they went out again and one of them met a frost wolf pup. It did not go well but Gil's father and two other seasoned hunters were there to help. I want to see if they learned a lesson. Unfortunately, younger archers are always too arrogant for their own good since they feel they can fire an arrow without consequence." It was understandable. Long range attacks could make someone feel invincible. "How about you?"

"I need to visit the cathedral and speak with Onyx and Alice. I also want to see the new skill that Su is working on. I can't get left behind. She's a little too motivated and it makes me feel like I will be left behind before I know it." The curiosity that Walker had was not small. He wanted to see just what had Su so fired up. He also wanted to spend some quality time with Alice. He knew she would be busy but just having lunch with her would make his day a million times better. Thant and Onyx had spent a decent amount of gold so he wanted to check in and see what it was all being used for. Making sure Onyx was spending wisely was part of an older brother's job.

"I did hear that Su was working on a new light elemental skill. She even told me she was trying to focus on magic now. I wonder if she will be breathing fire like a dragon soon. She wasn't shy about explaining the changes after pledging to Midnight. But Su is trustworthy and strong. She would have done anything to protect her family anyways. A pledge was just additional proof to the world." Alma didn't see the point of the pledge since Su would always choose to save and protect. It was just who she was. Yet the pledge still happened and it came with added benefits for Su, so, no one had any issues with it even though it would require Su to train much more to discover the new skills she had and the new potential she had.
