Master Of None

"How is everyone doing here?" Gil found that Alma had managed to regain a lot of her energy. There were still a significant number of elven guards nearby, but they had been shouted at to give her space. Naturally, Allma had been a little annoyed that they were all over her before. 

"You should stop glaring at them. They just wanted to make sure that you were fine and safe. You used a ton of energy to make sure that everyone had what they ended up with. You literally helped make a forest of a nearly extinct tree." Gil's words did not make Alma feel any better. 

Knowing that she was a leader of the elves, she had believed that she should have remained functional. But she had passed out from over extending herself. She had used all of her mana to be able to handle the situation before leaving her people to fight by themselves. 

If she had saved mana and mental energy to join the battle… Well, she knew that she could have done a lot. She had various plants that she had cross bred to be able to fight at a much higher level than before. 

However, her mind was also occupied by new things. She felt that she had managed to learn a lot more about her own skills and the things she was able to do. Growing a forest had enlightened her. 

Not only was it the experiences that came with how the trees had grown and how they had changed their shapes based on the will of those manipulating them, but it was the connection to nature. 

The forest had managed to connect deeply to them all. They had felt their own experiences being embodied within the forest right then and there. They had felt and sensed that they each had different ways to manipulate a and assist the growth of plants. 

Due to this, the various systems that were used had been able to influence one another. It had opened up pathways of more unique uses of their own skills. They had been able to alter the ways that they also used their manas. The affinities were shared among one another more commonly due to their plant and nature related systems. 

This alone had been enough to greatly help many of the weaker farmers who had come to use their skills. They had been enlightened to the point that they had made extreme leaps in what they had once believed they were close to mastering. 

With this, the Genesis alliance would be able to better farm food as a whole. That meant fewer people struggling to get food. Increased trade to many of the other kingdoms within the alliance. Furthermore, there would be a greater quality in the food produced. 

Beyond any of this, the elves also wanted to return some of the extinct or what they believed to be extinct, plants to the elven forests and lands. That way, they could help nature flow better and bring back many species of animals and monsters imperative to the growth and flow of nature. It was a massive step for all elves and for all people. 

"Gil. do you think that this place can be returned to nature too? There is a lot that is crumbling. An entire city that is full of so much… pain." When Alma asked this of Gil, he stopped in his tracks. 

While he had wanted to focus more on the demon lord that had burst in and taken something, he also did not want to worry about it right now. So, when Alma made this proposal, he felt that it was better for him to focus on it. 

"We might have some of the vampire race that wish for them to have this place as one they could come to as a historical location. But if you were to have the elves begin to make it, greener. Well, just cleaned up and more natural, it might help them move on."

He knew well that many of the vampires would feel that they were visiting a dead place. Some where that was all evil and torture to them. That's how he would feel if he wwe in their shoes. But if it was also reborn and cleaned up with nature as the method of doing so, then they might feel differently. They could feel that this place was also being reborn just as their race was. 

"That's what I am going to do. They deserve a place with better mana and feelings than what they suffered through. These are ruins, but they will become natural ruins instead." Alma picked through the backs on her waist. The places she kept various seeds at all times so that she could. 

"I think the fairy lilies will be perfect. They bloom in seven colors. Then we can add in the mammoth vines since they will give good structure to the ruins. And then I can add in some of the dancing grass since they sway even without the winds…" the sudden rambling as Alma started to drop seeds on the ground here and there made Gil feel more relaxed. 

All the stress he felt as he had worried over everything was beginning to dissipate slightly. Now he would be able to focus on the fact that they could create a monument of sorts for the vampires to come and see a reborn part of their history. Then they could focus on creating a new place. 

"Brother Gil, you are working hard." The sudden interruption of the large serpent moving silently surprised Gil. but, he also noticed the many shadows and bright white scales around Onyx. 

"You and your whole race came to help us, huh?" Gil laughed a little. It was more like all the other serpents were following an older brother than acting like they were calm and collected. 

"Well, I was woken up and asked if they could help.. So I began moving around more. Some of the heavenly serpents went with their friends to heal others. But most of them stayed with me. They want to do more. I can only support them." Onyx brimmed with pride in this. He felt that every single abyssal and heavenly serpent had shown that they were worth every single second of time to teach them. 

"Then you are in time. Gil was just about to gather the other farmers and elves that have the energy to help me. We will need light elemental mana channeled around here to start the growth of all these seeds. And since there is a lot of ambient darkness mana trying to spread out from being sealed in the ruins, you can also help keep that under control." 

Alma had taken on the job she made much quicker than what Gil had imagined. She was clearly pushing forward for more than just the reasons she had spoken out loud. But that was why he wanted to marry her. Why he wanted to spend his life with her? She was a pure and kind soul. She stood for her people and even the other races when they faced injustice. 

"I think this entire ruin will have to be a memorial. To the vampire race lost and to the new begining of the vampire race. Where they do not need to hide away and be guided by monsters. They can learn more than they had ever learned. Keep their history open and shared with the world. It will take time, but we will make sure it stays that way."

Gil's words resonated with Onyx. he had not been there to see the twisted elder vampire, but Omnyx had sensed the feelings of Walker and Midnight. He knew well that they had witnessed injustice and pain. That they knew a great deal more about the vampires. They definitely deserved a chance at a real life in peace. 

"You should also know, the echidna had mostly gone again. Only a few stayed behind to help us. They said that they need to keep working on the flow of nature." Onyx dropped this quickly. But he was not saying it in a sad way. More that he trusted them to arrive again when they were needed. That they would be there when everyone else caught up to them. 

"Good, then the pens still here get to help me make a new place out of these ruins." Gil felt himself being pushed away. "And Gil will go get everyone." Alma was being pushy since she wanted to make sure that they got this done. She also knew that everyone else would be hard at work doing other things. 

Many of the Genesis and angel forces had been injured. They needed healing and so much more. Splitting up to get everything down would greatly push them all forward. 

The only thing that caused a break in all this was the floating corrupted city slightly moving again. This time toward the ocean again. An unsettling dark shadow that meant there was more battles to be had in this war.
