Master Of None

The remainder of the walk back to the merchant district the other earth spirit and the dark spirit were stuck to Walker like glue. They were very happy that he had accepted and was even showing some joy himself about them joining him. In their minds, they didn't care if they would fuse and lose their consciousness for another. They just wanted to be part of the wondrous journey they had listened to. Their time in the treasury had made them yearn for more.Â

They two had attempted to convince the fire elemental spirit to change its' mind and join the but it turned out that elemental spirits were more stubborn than Walker could have imagined. The three had begun to influence the mana around them in their arguing prompting him to end their conversation himself.Â

Su and the earth spirit that was balancing on the earth dwelling shield found this interaction hysterical and proceeded to laugh themselves. Walker wasn't sure how Su was bonding so well with the spirit since they couldn't speak to each other. However, he had the feeling that the earth spirit not only resonated with Su's new elemental affinity but also the fact that they both seemed to want to protect things.Â

This made Walker consider it the reason that they bonded in the first place and the reason Su had gotten the quest. They may have forged a shield but that was not some guarantee that Su would use it. He had been lucky that the elder had given it at all. Yet, the elder seemed more interested in the experimentation of the spirit forging process than anything. It was logical since he would be able to make new gear as long as the materials were there.

This made Walker think even further about what would happen with the wind spirit and Gil. The bow was a spirit forged weapon that had cost a soul. Fonding this out had shaken Gil let alone the party. Now that Gil had been feeding it mana and bonding with it, there was more.Â

Walker recalled the time Gil had said he felt as if something had rolled over and the bow had more power. There was also the fact that the bow had a skill to turn wind in to an arrow. Gil had used it and even combined it with other arrows.Â

The spirit and Gil already had an unspoken bond. It was able to exist even though neither had seen the other and was already powerful enough to share their emotions and strength. There was also the question of the strength of the spirit.Â

If the wind elemental spirit had been absorbing mana for years but it had not gained the win elemental mana it needed for anything. Walker had the feeling that it was because the mana had not come from a living being. The strength of the wind spirit could be either weak due to this or powerful because it still had stored mana but not the right kind.Â

"Walker. Where are you going?" Su had snapped Walker out of his daze. "I asked you a few times but you kept walking so I just went along for a little. We have made it all the way back to the high forge and you were about to walk inside." Su had a worried expression in her face because of Walker.Â

"Sorry, I was thinking about the elemental spirits. I am thankful for the new companions who could help me with my quest and join us on our journey. I am excited to see what dwelling gear we can make for the fires spirit here. The fact that you and the earth spirit are very close in personality and look to be fast friends...And Gil and his wind spirit in the bow. I wonder about that too."Â

Su immediately understood why Walker was so hard to pull him from his thoughts. The looks she gave him also showed that she worried about Gil's bow and elemental spirit partner. They didn't know what would happen if the spirit decided it wanted to leave when the bow was modified and it had the appropriate mana to move like a normal spirit.Â

Walker blinked a few times while Su did the same. They both were not sure what to think when Midnight nudged them both reminding them that they were standing unmoving in front of the high forge. She gave a huff and pushed them toward the entrance. "Sister and I received a quest to assist Gil in modifying his bow. Midnight will breath the fire while I communicate with the elder so he can hear over the forge flames and hammer."Â

"I need to help as well. He needs someone to keep the earth elemental mana away from the area. With my affinity, I can help the earth spirit direct the mana." Su had received a more specific direction than Walker and sop had Midnight and Onyx.Â

"I need to help as well. But we are going to get a spirit type skill. Do you think...actually, I have no idea what it could be." Walker was stumped and generally in awe. He had not expected to receive such a quest and only thought that it must be because Gil had acquired the materials he needed to modify the bow. "We should go inside." Walker was met with Midnight giving another huff and pushed him even faster. She was trying to get them moving the whole time and had run out of patience.Â
