Master Of None

Su felt that she had known this. The idea that the world would just turn smoothly was an odd one to begin. But just as many people had, she wished for the best. She had that influence on what beliefs she wanted to take. Naturally, the result was ignoring that chaotic mana still existed in the first place.

"I should just accept that huh?"

"It's what I've decided to do. Midnight is the same too?" Walker saw Midnight nod vigorously in support.

"Anwyas, I think there are healers who will have the ability to use skills that calm chaotic mana too. It's not like the chaotic manas are wrong. They just aren't in a calm state that flows with existence. It's like they are the manas that haven't been given proper form yet? I'm not sure if that's right but it's how I see it." With the way that Walker put it, Su felt she understood who the greater existence worked. Because the world and all mana had to come to being somehow, they naturally would have been in some chaotic state at some point. The only issue was that these chaotic manas were causing corruption. Therefore, the methods to calm them were needed. But that was also a balance within itself. The chaotic manas with the lawful manas. Or at least that was what Walker had been thinking. The manas that followed flow and balance could be seen as a citizen that followed the laws. The chaotic mana would be a citizen that broke the laws and the flow. An interesting way to put it, but simple.

"There are a few unique healers since we came back from our fight. The cathedral has been documenting everything to start a proper healer's record. Some of them even have their own dedicated places in the Genesis library now." Looking around, Walker was surprised to see many healers or related nuns recording things in to journals. All of this would be taken from them later to be written in a more organized and clear manner. It was just a rough start to their own section in the soon to be greatest library of joint knowledge in the world.

"That was troublesome." Alice hopped up and hugged Walker from the back to surprise him. But her cheeks were red with annoyance from the priests that had visited.

"You sent them away again? They are going to come back with more of them again. They think that this cathedral and all the churches should follow their lead since they have the starting morels. But they didn't fund this cathedral and the crystal they donated was replaced already with a better rune carved one" This seemed to make Su suddenly angry. But from what Walker and Midnight could gather, the northern city had sent the priest here to add their will to things. Especially since Genesis had such a major following in its cathedral now.

"I might as well march up there and put them in their place. I can even see if Rise wants to go to scare them." This was the dragon side of Su showing itself. She wanted to make sure that they were respected and that none of them would be mocked in any way.

"If you go up there with that attitude, they might think you are trying to burn the city down." Walker teased her which caused Su to go red next. It was fair though, Su was usually the calm one of the group.

"I think we will have to set them straight. They have a different culture, but they don't understand the unity of Genesis. That's why the human kingdom's churches chose to separate from the northern strictness. They can help more people." Alice shined a light on the greater issue that the north must see. They took fees from the churches more southern than then. They also provided the crystals that the churches were built around. The very crystals that allowed a healing aura to appear within the church. With Genesis having amazing rune carvers and mages, they now produced better crystals for the same process. It was only wise that the churches would rely on new ones from Genesis to improve themselves. Especially since they came at a fair price that the smaller villages could afford for their churches. And they did not have to send a single bit of gold to Genesis city to support them if they did not desire it. That was one hard rule of Genesis. All tax was fair and just. Not like some past kingdoms that abused it. Because all the races came together, they could call one another out of their greed if it grew. This had already shown its face in some lesser merchants and they became examples for what should be fairness. Naturally the harsh prison sentences for their greed also scared many would be criminals.

"If you three go up there, maybe you can right their wrongs by offering them a way to join Genesis. They have people too, I know it's a human only city, but it is technically part of the human kingdom." Walker was thinking about the future. The best for those people would be to have access to Genesis and everything they had to offer.

"They don't even have trade routes planned to meet us. We could help them a lot." Su's attitude brightened as she thought about how this was the same work being down through the kingdoms right now.

"Putting that aside, Alice, let's show him that new healer that showed up. She was an echidna child, right? She has a weird way of healing." This change of pace surprised Walker but made Sua nd Alice much more excited. From what he could see, this young echidna must be someone special. Alice pulled Walker and Midnight along with her to the side of the cathedral. There was a larger room prepared that Walker knew had once been living quarters. Yet, now, they were made in to classrooms. The cathedral had been added on to slightly and renovated. Inside were a few young healers learning from experienced healers and nuns. In the classroom Walker was brought to, he spotted three young healers learning to wrap bandages around a wooden training dummy. Definitely a good method for how to learn the proper way of doing things. Two were dressed in nuns' clothing. They appeared to be younger members of the church that had been brought in by those that were already members. It made sense that they would follow their parent's footsteps. But the third, was a red scaled echidna. Her focus on wrapping was broken when she saw the visitors.

"Hello, sorry to bother you, but I thought I would meet some of the future healers." Walker saw all three show that they knew him and Midnight. They were somewhat celebrities after all.

"What kind of healers are you three? I know classes have been a tough adjustment lately. A lot of new things to learn." He felt this was an understatement. It wasn't a lot, it was an immense amount to learn for most people.

"I am a flame healer, I can heal with white fire!" The one young girl in nun's clothing was glad to share.

"And I am a light healer. Just like mom!" the other shouted with pride. It was a natural reaction from a child.

"I am a blood healer. I can purify the blood so it heals the body itself." This struck Walker as odd, but now he knew what Alice and Su were thinking.

"Oh, so you might be able to help someone heal themselves by making their blood stronger? I bet you might be able to handle the chaotic mana in people's bodies too?" His little push clearly made the young echidna think. But that was what he wanted. A potential to be there.

"Soon, a potion from my friend Remey will come to the cathedral. It's called the corruption purifying potion. It will be perfect to test yourself against. A way to help calm or purify the chaotic mana in someone or something. I have a feeling that you three can help find the skills to do what the potion does." Walker gave them a wave and Midnight did the same. He left them with that thought.

"She definitely can do that. She has affinity with life mana" Walker had sensed it immediately. The echidna were close to natural mana, but this little girl had a powerful life mana affinity, hence the blood healer class.

"I'm glad the echidna are settling down here too. I was worried they wouldn't feel comfortable." This also called Walker's thoughts a lot. The echidna had been isolated for a long time. Now, they might have struggled to mix with other races. Clearly, he had worried for no reason at all. …
