Master Of None

"So you're telling me that this elf Elise has bonded with elemental spirits like the ones that are with you and that they can lice with her? And that she is like a more than five times my age?" Elise was still shocked by everything they told her about the elves. "I wonder when we will get a tamers' branch there. I want to visit!" She wanted to rush there and drag the party now but there was too much to do and she knew it would be wrong to drag the party out on an adventure.Â

"If you think that's wild, then imagine a tree a hundred times bigger than the biggest tree you have ever seen. That is where they live! Then they have tree houses and even under the ground they have places to grow crystals!' Remey had jumped in to a high energy rant that Elise was following perfectly. She was even managing to ask questions in between.Â

The entire party felt exhausted just watching the exchange between them. No one dared to try and keep up. "So Elise, where's the rest of the trio?" Walker was mostly wondering where Laurence was since he would expect he would come instead of Elise due to is experience.Â

"Both of them are at the border. They were send to assist with the monsters that were crossing and keep them from being killed on sight. The demons are chasing out some of the monsters around for when they bring in their armies." Elise was a little less energetic saying this.Â

"I understand. Well, I'm glad you came. Sorry for bringing up a weird subject." Walker felt bad instantly but Elise easily shrugged it off.Â

"Why do you guys feel different? I feel like I'm talking to the master or a really strong tamed beast. There's just a different aura around you that I can feel through Stella." Elise was picking up on the high levels the party had now than they did before they parted ways with the tamers.Â

"We leveled up. We are a lot higher leveled now than we were. Plus we have been training like crazy. Learned new skills, and have a lot stronger gear." Gil was the one to speak up and showed off the true spirit bow where Zephyr was resting. Gil was still a little curious about how Zephyr would react when she met the pure light griffin in the skies above the city. It was clear they would have to share the skies while the griffin was present.Â

"I see, and by the way, you didn't give me the proper answer before. Again, Mr party leader, why didn't you go to the tamers' branch in the dwarf city." Elise was more annoyed that she had missed them than anything but decided that she would go all in on this aspect to tease Walker and maybe convince him to do some training with her and Stella later.Â

"We had reasons to stay, I won't lie. There's this albino glowing mole egg that needs a home. But we acted a bit impulsively and decided to come back. We have been away longer than ever before. But if other tamers are coming it kind of works out since we can find a hole for the albino mole egg." Walker did his best to put a silver lining on the situation.

Elise looked like she was ready to reunite until Walker said it was an albino mole egg. "You have an albino monster egg!? Do you know how rare albino monsters are? Has anyone told you they have special skills? If you aren't raising it there are tamers who will give you anything for it." Elise pulled out a small scroll that had some runes on it.

She hurriedly whispered in to it until the runes glowed and the scroll burned up. "There, I sent a message to someone I know will come running. If they aren't on the back of a goliath hawk despite their fear of heights, well, that would mean the world had ended"Â

"Someone really wants an egg we found that badly? Honestly, I wasn't too worried since we could always find a home for it as long as the egg is dormant." Gil was able to speak up in his surprise. Elise had just used a scroll which wasn't something cheap in the least.Â

"I think we should just be thankful that Elise is here and she will be visiting for some time. We will even get to meet one of her friends." Su was keeping things on track and brought a brilliant smile to Elise's face.Â

After nodding a few times Elise returned to their conversation about the other Elise that had spirits for friends and sold elemental mana crystals. Eventually, the group moved on to the topic of quests appearing and systems showing up as a result of chain quests.Â

"You know, it always felt weird that some of the people that worked in the monster pens cleaning or transporting straw were without systems. I once saw a kid who was really good, and I mean really good, at getting the monsters to come and eat even when they didn't like the food that was offered. I swore he was a tamer but they told me he wasn't a system user at all." Elise seemed a little downtrodden with this but then brightened up.

"I bet he has a quest too. The king told us a lot of people were getting them. I bet there are some people in the city that want to be tamers of some kind one day and are looking for guidance." As soon as Remey suggested that, they all knew it was too late to just tighten things up and try to head somewhere to rest.Â

"Then we need to go talk to the demons. What if they want to be an avian tamer?" Elise rushed towards the doors and Stella picked up the little crow in her arms following her. There was a small smirk on Stella's face that she had expected this.Â
