Master Of None

"Brother! Do you know what just happened? The king and queen want me to make them baby clothes! I will have my designs on the body of a princess! A princess!" The energy Lisa had in her body was nearly uncontrollable. She was not sure how she would be able to act or even handle all of this. "How are you and Gil and Su and Midnight and Onyx and Remey and and...how can any of you handle all this?"

The question was enough to make them all chuckle a little. "Leader has a lot of different and crazy skills on a daily basis. The king and the queen asking for something like this is pretty tame compared to him." Walker almost felt offended after Su spoke but he had to admit that he had been given his own heart attacks when he saw his own skills.Â

"Trust me, you should try and speak to the elf queen. She sits on a moving throne of vines that literally connects her to nature. Plus she talks to her ancestors' spirits and stuff. Our king and queen are very relaxed compared to the aura that she gives off.." The feeling Gil had when they were in the presence of the forest elf queen was definitely more intimidating.Â

"You may have felt a little more than us. You know, since you were chasing after Alma, the next queen of the forest elves." Walker didn't even hold himself back from teasing Gil. He was getting his own revenge from all the jokes Gil had made before.Â

"Sister says that you will have a lot of fun learning more. She wants you to make her another costume for next year." Lisa instantly hugged Midnight around the neck after Onyx spoke for her.Â

"Leader, we should check out the rest of the food while we have the time. If we waste too much talking it will all be gone." Su was supported by Onyx and Midnight. The group spent the rest of their time finding new foods to have Walker store away to bring home and show off to share with Stella and the rest of the family. The staff serving them was more than happy to bring out even more for them since the cooks wanted nothing more than to keep showing off their skills.Â

When they noticed the sun starting to set in the large windows of the main hall the group realized that they should begin to head out. Walker felt it strange that he had yet to see Alice who was attending the party with the high priest. But both of them had not made it just yet.Â

"Now, please quiet yourselves down for a moment!" The king shouted out to get everyone's attention, surprising most of them. "I have arranged for the most gifted songstress in the cathedral to come and show you all the beauty of light."Â

The guards cleared the center of the room and Walker understood why he had not seen the high priest or Alice yet. They had been preparing for the show for the party and Alice had kept it hidden very well.Â

"Look at her!" Lisa forced Walkers' head to the door and Alice walked in to the hall. She was wearing a much different attire than before that reflected the season very well. The draping yellow and orange fabric that flowed around Alice gave the impression of falling leaves. The red base for the dress was only visible in glimpses due to the other fabrics but it was enough to highlight the brightness and vibrancy of the entire ensemble.Â

There were no words for Walker as he watched her stride to the open space for her to sing. The high priest was behind her and was able to locate Walker in an instant. His hurried motions made Walker wonder what he was needed for.Â

When the high priest got ahold of his arm he leaned on Walker heavily, "I was hoping you would be closer to the door. I need a little help standing today since I am not in the cathedral as usual. Also, use that calming waves skill, you can add to the wonder for us." The high priest was elderly and did need the assistance but he was sneaky and wanted to add to the show even more.Â

"How could I say no to you?" Walker immediately released the skill and waves of calming aura spread through the room causing all attention to be directed toward the center. Alice did not hold her smile back when she saw Walker helping the high priest and adding his calming waves skill.Â

With one swift motion, Walker saw Alice remove the bracelet he had given to her so that she could more freely allow her skills to influence the mana on the air. She took a deep breath and let her song begin. The soft tune was enough to cause the light to shake and begin to change.Â

The images of falling leaves overtook the room and everyone was breathless. Besides the music which was sweeter than anything, Alices' voice lulled them in to a sense of wonder. The vibrant light of the falling leaves around them may have been an illusion but it was all too brilliant. Everyone had the feeling that they were in a forest of falling leaves.Â

The first person began to dance. This was like a wave breaking and everyone around them was soon dancing. Midnight and Onyx were quick to move and hide themselves next to Walker and the high priest as to avoid the dancing feet. Gil was pulled in to the dance by Su since they didn't have partners and surprisingly the king and queen also joined the dance floor.Â

The song may not have been long but the entire hall was full of wonder and health. Many of the nobles could not break the peaceful silence after the song ended. Alice on the other hand looked a little tired but her smile soon returned as she placed the bracelet back on her wrist and walked to Walker and the High priest full of smiles.Â

"This was a pretty amazing entrance." Walker shook his head while Alice and the high priest reveled in their small surprise.Â
