Master Of None

Lisa came out of the changing room first holding back a wide smile. She coughed a few times before starting her little announcement. "Today, I am here to introduce you to something truly wonderful. My friends and family. The magic is in the air on the eve of the harvest festival. I present the magnificent Midnight! The witch of dragon magic and mystery! By her side, the trusty familiar, Onyx the slithering warlock of cuteness!!!!!" Lisa dramatically threw her arms to the side as Midnight jumped out.Â

"Holy lord...you even made a small witch hat for Onyx." Walker couldn't help but feel his heart melting. Midnight was adorned in black and purple fabrics sporting a pointed witch hat. There were even darkness runes stitched in to the fabrics making it seem like Midnight and Onyx were part of the shadows. Onyx was wearing a matching clock tied around his neck and a small pointed witch hat.. They were made in the perfect sizes just for them.Â

"Sister says she liked this costume the best. She will cast magic just like brother does." Midnight let out a huff of golden embers to support what Onyx was saying, making the four of them laugh.Â

"Lisa, I'm impressed you managed to learn the darkness rune from the elf fabrics. I thought you would be stuck on it for a long time. My sister is a genius!" Walker was extremely impressed. He knew that she must have been up all night since they returned to make sure she could learn it.Â

"I had to learn that one first. Midnight and Onyx like to hide in the shadows so it only make sense that I would make them things for it. It's also starting to get cold again so they will need some new winter clothes. This year Onyx will have a rune sweater!" Lisa had grand goals for the partys' winter clothing. Walker couldn't argue with it seeing how happy his sister was.Â

"I am looking forward to big sister Lisa's sweater. It was cold last winter." Onyx was already thanking her even though they had some months of the harvest season before the winter would rear its head.Â

"Actually, Lisa, I was wondering. I have a costume, Midnight just found hers. But what about you?" Walker had no sooner asked when Lisa had dropped her jaw.Â

Her slight whispery voice barely managed to get the words out, "I completely forgot to make myself a costume'¦" It was as if she had just uttered a sinful sentence. She was the seamstress that made everyone's clothing and yet, she had forgotten her own. "Walker...what do I do?" She wasn't sure how to fix it before the harvest festival. She couldn't stay up all night or else she would lose her energy and not be able to stay up to dance and celebrate.Â

"How about we ask everyone for some of their extra gear? You can dress up as any one of the things we can do. I can give you my staff and you can wear a cloak and be a mage to match Midnight and Onyx in magic. Or you could borrow some things from Remey and be a brawler. I bet you could even find one of mothers' old chef hats and be a cook."Â

Lisa looked at Walker as if he was a saving angel. He had made multiple ideas of last minute saves in just a few seconds that she was too panicked to even think about. "I am definitely going to be something awesome. But I am going to ask Su for help. She has some clothing from a friend that she said she can't wear. I can modify it for me!" Lisa darted from the room leaving Midnight and Onyx both still wearing their costumes.Â

"Want me to help you two out of those for now?" Midnight and Onyx both nodded and Walker also removed the top hat from his costume. He was even more excited now that he had a costume. He wasn't sure if he actually looked evil or not but he definitely looked like a noble gentleman which he had never dressed as before. He had never even worn clothing as fancy as his costume would be. It really hit him just how much his life had changed.Â

As soon as Midnight and Onyx had been freed from their costumes the two fled toward the kitchen. Walker could only imagine that they were heading to hound his mother for food since it was a little past lunchtime now. He pulled his own snack of jerky from his inventory and wandered toward the garden.Â

Walker wasn't sure what he should do with the rest of the day since he had the time to relax before he needed to sleep to prepare for an early morning at the harvest festival. He knew too well that the best time to check out what the merchants had brought out for the festival was right when they opened up their stalls. It was also the best time to get some of the breakfast delicacies sold during the festival.Â

Feeling that he wanted to make sure he would see everyone he called for a messenger and sent a letter to the high priest and Alice. He also made sure to contact Clara who he was sure would be busy but he wanted to ask her anyway. He made sure that they all knew the party's plans to start together in the main square in the morning then wander through the festival all day. This would ensure he would see them and also get to show off the costume.Â

Walker was also sure that he could buy some small snacks to hand off to the guards. His mother would normally bake off leaf shaped cookies with jam inside them but since she was busy with the additional break orders, Walker wanted to take over. He would get to the festival early and buy some small snacks to hand to the guards and send to the guard rooms. It was the least he could do since so many guards were assigned to keep the peace during the festival.Â
