Master Of None

Walker ran to the man laying on the ground nearest to the ruined building. He found that he had been burned all over one side of his body while he ran from  the fire. Using his light heal skill Walker saw that there was almost no change in the man's appearance. This was well beyond his normal healing ability. "Let me help you, I can get him stable so he can be transported to the cathedral. He looks to have some internal wounds that your spell healed."Â

The young nun who stopped next to him had a white light emanating from her eyes. This was letting her see the insides of the man and the state in which they were. "He definitely fell, your spell has stopped the bleeding around his liver. I will start to add a splint to his broken leg. I need you to grab some of that broken wood over there for me."Â

Walker knew not to argue with the experience this nun obviously had. He ran over to the broken boards that definitely had fallen from the carpenters quarters as it collapsed in the what of the fire. They were similar lengths which was why the nun had pointed them out. Walker had see splints before but lacked the experience in setting them.Â

With the man's breath shallow but seemingly stable the nun had Walker hold the two boards in the opposite sides. She tore some of the fabric from his shirt to expose the burns. She spread some salve she carried on them making a notable difference. The blood from the wounds seemed to slow and the burns themselves looked like they were not as painful.

"I need you to stay as still as possible. I will tie it as tight as possible so that the bone won't damage the veins and arteries while he is moved. You will be in charge of holding his leg up the entire trip to the cathedral. If he starts to sweat you will need to use that healing spell a few times to bring down high fever from the burns." With his orders Walker acted. He kept pressure on the boards while she started to tie the torn fabric around them.

Small groans escaped the man's lips while they worked but he did not return to consciousness. The splint that was being made was rough but it did its job well, the nun had a huge amount of skill in this area. "Guards! This young man will go with you to watch this splint. Move slowly and do not twist this man's leg at all." The guards that carried a makeshift stretcher did not hesitate at all and instead went to work.

In tandem they moved the man in to the stretcher and lifter. Walker held the man's leg still and they began moving at a hearty pace. There was almost no jostling to the injured man making Walker believe that the guards were doing more than just their usual  effort. Within minutes they had made their way to the stairs of the cathedral where the high [priest was standing directing those who were arriving.Â

"Those who are not in serious pain or have serious injuries please stay outside and make way for those with serious wounds or in great pain. You there, take that young woman to the back. That boy there he needs to be as close to the crystal as possible." The high priest was barely stopping for a breath between orders and shouts. His eyes focused on Walker the second him and the guards began to climb the stairs. "Walker, get that man inside to the very front. Then I need you out here using you healing magic skills on those with small injuries. We need to clear out this crowd so that it is easier for everyone to work." there was no greeting necessary, they both knew that there was work to be done and everything else could wait.Â

Walker entered the cathedral and found that there were injured people everywhere. There were many that had been brought toward the healing light crystal to get the most benefit possible from it. The two guards maneuvered through the maze of injured and did their best to remain out of the way of the healers and nuns bustling about. One nun had already cleared a space seeing the incoming injured man. The guards slowly placed him down and removed the makeshift stretched. The nun took over the splint for Walker.

There were many people that were standing around toward the back of the cathedral that had minor burns and scrapes. Many looked to be customers that had stopped at the first floor of the carpenters quarters wanting to request jobs with specific carpenters. There were also plenty of family members who have been staying there as well. It had been a building for living instead of work. The carpenters had not ever built their own guild or organization in the kingdom, Instead they mutually rented living quarters and worked together often to promote their unique skills.Â

Walker approached a few children who had obviously fallen and hurt themselves while they escaped the crumbling building. "I'm going to heal you all up alright? After that I will need you all to find a place out of the healer's way so they can help your parents OK?" The three kids looked to understand but their terrified faces did not change much.Â

Walker used some light heal spells on them and saw a marked improvement. They relaxed a little, having their injuries healed and a woman with a burn in her arm pulled them back to the wall away from the commotion. "Miss let me deal with that first." Walker pressed himself to the wall and healed the woman's arm as well. It was a small burn and it healed easily. There were small tears in her eyes but she was holding herself back to stay strong for the children. "You are all going to be fine. If you can all find a place away from the chaos and wait, we will have everyone feeling better soon." Walker put every ounce of energy he had in to sounding reassuring. He wanted to put out a feeling of calm and strength.Â

'The skill calming waves has been taken from the motherhood system. The user has automatically learned the skill calming waves due to the emergency quests dire situations.

Calming waves- 4 mana cost

The user uses their mana to project a light elemental aura from their body. This aura has the ability to strengthen the mental prowess of those within a large area of the user.Â

+5Matck and +5Mdef to those within the area.Â

Healing skills used within the aura gain bonuses from natural light elemental mana drawn to the calming waves skill.'

Walker was still pressed against the wall but stopped when he started to read the skill. At first it looked like this was a skill just to calm those or buff others. But in this situation it was an ideal. Not only would this skill calm the panic in those that were injured but would also benefit the healers using light elemental healing magic.Â

Walker saw a passing nun and grabbed her arm. "I need to keep moving please let me go." The nun pulled against him seeing that he was not injured.

"Has Alice used her skills to sing yet? I have a skill that should boost her healing magic!" He yelled over the noise in the cathedral to get his meaning through to the nun before she broke his grip.Â

"No, she was instructed to wait until the high priest gave the order. Most of the musicians are already here and preparing for a concert. They are going to use all of their mana to heal everyone that gets brought here at once. They want to get those closest to death in to stable condition." The nun knew exactly what Walker was saying and she knew just how valuable a skill to increase healing was.Â

"Go let the high priest know that Walker can assist in the mass healing. Tell him to start the concert as soon as possible." Walker released her arm without an apology. The nun did not mind his rudeness, this was a dire situation that the cathedral rarely faces.Â

With his message passed on he made his way to the healing light crystal at a furious pace. He could see some of the musicians already starting to take the stage and channeling their mana in to their instruments to prepare for their healing concert. Most of them had not expected this kind of event when the emergency quest rang out; they were the first to get in to motion.

Seeing a crouched figure at the base of the crystal Walker knew it was Alice in a second. He could see the bracelet he had recently given her on her wrist. "Alice!" She turned to him without any hesitation. Her face was filled with worry over the sheer amount of injuries all at once. This was one of the worst events at the cathedral in her life.
