Master Of None

"Sister, I have said that I won't let you catch up to me. I will be the biggest little brother." Onyx had decided that he would stay ahead of Midnight in size forever. However, Midnight had rejected this and currently argued with Onyx while Walker explained the entire story in detail.

"I swear, if you two keep fighting I will make Walker hold on to your food for an extra hour." Su had rarely used the strict voice she was capable of. But she had become a master at mediating the disagreements between Remey and Gil. Stopping these two from fighting was child's play to her compared to them.

" Please reconsider. I am willing to give you a ride on my back if you do." Walker's jaw dropped. Onyx was being so shameless. He had tried to get out of letting Walker and Midnight on to his back to balance out the many days of him resting on their shoulders. But now he so easily offered it to Su.

Midnight beat Walker to reprimanding Onyx and the two became much more intense in the arguing. Su was forced to watch as the two eventually came to a conclusion. "Sister and I agree that I will let you all rest of my back if we both get our choice of high elemental crystal."Â

"Wait, but how does this work out that way?" Walker was about to make them answer when Su gave him a nudge to drop it.Â

"They worked it out themselves, just do it. We have the gold and we are going there anyway."Â

"That is agreeable. Then we should get going." Onyx was more excited than the others seeing that his and Midnight's plan had worked. He immediately started to return to his natural young adult size.Â

The shadows pulled out and made his shadow appear normal for the size he was becoming. The daunting young adult abyssal serpent soon rested in front of them. "When you have a growth spurt I did not imagine it was this major. How did you even survive being so small and then switching to this." Su was just gesturing with wide arms in amazement.

To Su, this was an impossible growth all at once, but after Walker and Onyx explained that Onyx's species could store away nutrients for growth it made sense. "I just can't believe that he is already bigger than Midnight," Walker whispered this so he didn't restart the sibling rivalry between Onyx and Midnight.

"You did say they were once known as world eating serpents. That might be a myth for all we know, but if this kind of growth spurt happens it makes sense." Su remembered the myth from when they all first spoke about Onyx and researched his species.

"I'm just worried that he will have a hard time growing now. I can't imagine how much light elemental mana he will need to grow to an adult'¦or more." Walker thought that an adult Onyx could be too massive to imagine. However, why would happen if he could grow more after that?Â

The four all heard this and pondered what an elder abyssal serpent would look like. It could be incredibly large, possibly enough to snap up the entire kingdom in one bite.Â

"Sooo Onyx, would you like to lead the way to the crystal shop?" Walker slowly said this making Onyx recoil a little.

"I did promis elder sister Su'¦" Onyx spread himself out so the three could hop on and be his passengers for once.Â

"Your scales are much tougher now." Su felt that the scales weren't as hard as Midnights but had significantly strengthened. They had started to replace the stat that Walker could see through the party leader function.Â

"Sister, I am not big enough to see the world from my back. But when you can fly you can share with us the views of the world." Onyx was dismissing some of Midnight's claims. This didn't mean that his happiness at his size didn't show.Â

The three were watchers on Onyx's back as they traveled the ground towards the market street. They drew a huge amount of attention since no elf had seen such a creature as Onyx before.Â

A few jumped in fear that a strange giant boa had shown itself. Yet when they saw the heroes on the back of Onyx they were able to relax. Walker couldn't help to kick himself a little since they had again put themselves in gossip's grip.Â

Onyx was able to safely make it to the market in no time flat. He was happy that he was able to coil up in the sun that shown on the market during the day and decided he would wait outside.Â

His massive coils of scales slowly shrank as he used his skill and soon he was resting on a nearby bench. "I'll grab you the best light crystal I can. Don't worry." Walker gave his word as the three went in to the shop.Â

Midnight was eager to explore the crystals and pick out the one she wanted to eat. For here this was the same as a child going to a candy shop. The options were exceptional and the flavors endless.

"You're back already?! I thought it would take you more time with those experiments." Bree was almost unhappy to see them, but seeing that she was just restocking the shelves with crystals Walker understood why.

"Sorry for coming back so soon. We were just too excited to purchase your and the spirits amazing quality crystals." Walker had learned that flattery in life was always a safe bet.Â

"Of course of course. It has nothing at all to do with the hungry looking dragon sniffing all the dual elemental crystals." Walker had lost even when giving it his best shot. Su laughed silently seeing the slightly depressed look Walker had.Â
