Master Of None

"My name's Zenith by the way. My entire family has always been map makers or spelunkers. We've been managed to make a decent amount of maps in all the years." Zenith had been chatting idly as they came to the high forge.Â

"I am Su and this is Onyx. As you already know we are party members here on a quest for the newly forming Genesis alliance and to help with the yellow slimes. Now we are working on other things. But I am going to the high forge to see our leader." Su wasn't sure if Zenith really needed to know the entire details on why the party was here. However, because she thought Zenith almost said ancient she thought that there may be something very important.Â

"So that means you all may have a little time for an escort quest?" Zenith was getting at her main reason for wanting to have the party come with her.Â

"I will leave it up to Leader, but I do not see why he wouldn't help if you asked." Su didn't make any promises but she was sure Walker would find it interesting.Â

The three made their way to the front of the high forge when a familiar dragon came out of the front entrance, "Sister! Come and meet our new friend. She makes maps!" Onyx didn't hesitate to slither over and greet his sister. He had been waiting to share with her the things he and Su had done while with the medical based systems.Â

Midnight rush over to Onyx and Su, she was happier to see them than ever since she had been only with Walker and the elder who were consumed in their own conversations. "Su, I thought you were busy with the healing area"? Did you need a break?" Walker wasn't sure why Su was outside the high forge when he walked out but he was glad to see her. He wanted to introduce the earth elemental spirit to her.

"Leader, I have a quest to meet the earth elemental spirit that is part of the earth dwelling shield. I will earn its respect." Su spoke with surety but inside she knew that it was not so simple to just go and earn someone's respect It was often something that would take time.Â

"That's perfect, I wanted to have you use the shield since the elder said I could take it. The earth elemental spirit wants to travel too so it's even better. There's also another earth elemental spirit, a dark spirit, and a fire elemental spirit. These three will most likely join us for a while but are also considering helping to make a spirit forged dwelling gear." Walker was proud to introduce them since he knew the spirits would be interested in meeting someone new.

The dark spirit was already partially out of Walkers' shadow. It was clear that it was the first to take interest in Su. This was similar to the dark spirit that had met Su that worked with Elise. It was safe to say that Su had a knack for darkness elemental mana because she had bonded closely with Midnight who was originally a darkness elemental affinity dragon.

The dark spirit slowly approached and examined Su, in just a few seconds its curious attitude changed in to happiness as it flitted here and there around Su's shadow. This again reaffirmed that Su had an affinity with the darkness elemental mana. "I'm Su, nice to meet you. Can you introduce me to your friends over there?' Su wanted to start off with the dark spirit introducing her to the other spirits because she thought they would be friends.Â

The fire elemental spirit seemed not to care much about what was going on. It was more concerned with the furnace pipes nearby since they had a lot of fire elemental mana in them. The two earth spirits were next to each other semi interested. Walker approached them, "This is my friend and family Su. She uses shields already and I hope she would be able to use the earth dwelling shield. Would you like to meet her?"Â

The earth spirit that had helped make the earth dwelling shield came forward, "Could be friends, but she doesn't have earth's favor'¦" The earth spirit looked a little dejected that Su didn't have an affinity with its' element.Â

Walker was a little glad that Su couldn't hear the dejected spirit's voice, however, he knew that this would make things a little harder for Su. He was going to try and push them closer when he realized the dwarf woman approaching them. "Hello there, elder, hero party leader." The woman greeted both The elder and Walker.Â

"Zenith, back already? You just arrived from the deep cave. I would have thought you would be too busy repairing your home, that is, are you putting it off?" The elder seemed to have a better handle on Zeniths' personality than the others did. Which made sense since they had just met her.Â

"No no no, I would never. I just happened to have a little pest trouble in my home that this hero helped me with. I had the idea that if they were not busy then they may be interested in an escort job. To that new area, I discovered before the pests got out of control?" There was heavy innuendo in her words making Walker and Su know that there was more to the words that they knew.Â

"You want them to escort you in to...that place? I can see why. It would be a wise opportunity. It would also give me time to modify my arms for more forging and also prepare materials. Yes. That is a very good idea. Report to the king of the deep caves and let him know of the mapping expedition. Walker, can your party assist us with mapping out an ancient ruin we found? We believe it to be from many years ago. It has been inaccessible due to the slimes bit now we can explore it."Â
