Master Of None

"We get to name it." Walker felt that Fleur wasn't really sure what he meant but she was excited anyways. However, she was still tired and was leaning heavily on his neck while still sitting on his shoulder. "Should we call it a nature orb? World crystal ball?" None of them seemed to fit properly.

"What is that?" Gil was afraid to enter since he was looking at the time that had been created which was floating over the work table and constantly changing.

"Whoa! That's so cool it keeps changing and twisting. It looks like it goes on forever!" Remey was the opposite of Gil. Her reaction was more energetic and curious. Su had to hold her back so she didn't rush herself too close to it.

"Brother, sister says that she is glad it didn't break," Onyx spoke for Midnight and Walker could see in her eyes that she had been worried for him. She had seen him fall and helped to catch him and Fleur. Other than the rest of the party she had been the most worried for his health.

"Names are important." This was true and the wandering blacksmith had the mist experience naming items. He could only give that small advice since he refused to let himself influence the name of such an item. Every respectable forge master would avoid stepping on others' toes when it came to naming something.

What Remey had said when she first saw the item was enough to get Walker's mind turning. If the forms it could take went on forever it was simple to call it infinite. There was also the fact that it had a resting shape of an orb. The crystal ball structure was still there but it had become smoother and more precise. It also appeared that it could constantly absorb natural mana without any worry.

"The endless shifting crystal ball? No, the infinite world orb? That sounds a little odd… The eternal shift orb, no wait, the eternal orb. I think that is short and sweet but is perfect to describe when it does this." Walker willed the eternal orb to come toward him and Fleur. As it did it shifted and changed in to a metal staff with vines wrapped around it. The rainbow colorations on a crystal at the top.

"It can change endlessly with your will? You can use any weapon now!" There were too many possibilities running through Gil's mind. He could imagine Walker summoning the eternal orb to create large swords then switching to bow and arrows in a second. "You can't use it like a bow and endless arrows. I have the archer position locked down."

"I don't think I could make arrows. It would lose parts of itself and I wouldn't want that. But it can become a bow if I wanted it. I just wanted the staff since that was the first idea for when we started to think about it.

"It may shift to different forms endlessly. But isn't it eternal since it will always be by your side?" There was more to it than what Gil saw. To Su, it was an eternal partner. One that Walker would lean on to protect him and hold him up in the hardest of times.

"It doesn't have to be a weapon right? Can it be an alchemist tool too?" This was a whole new avenue to Remey's mind. If this was able to change in to alchemy tools or other things, then Walker could be walking around with a portable everything.

Walker willed the eternity orb to change in to a shovel just to prove that it could change in to anything. However, he felt that the mana inside had begun to dim. "It can store a lot of mana for me to use or to use itself. But it needs time to absorb it so no more switching around for now." He was worried he would use all of the mana inside and somehow damage it. The eternal orb was his child for all intents and purposes. He had followed the quests and finally completed it.

"Hey Fleur, why don't you rest inside? It should be a dwelling item for you since we both crafted it and you used your mana." This seemed like a good idea. Fleur was exhausted and could use the rest to regain mana.

This suggestion was greeted with a sharp shake of her head and the feeling of opposition. It seemed that there was nothing that she wanted to do more than stay out in the physical world. Walker's theory was that she had been resting and felt that she was missing things. He mostly thought this because he would feel the same. There was also the fact that Fleur has seen Zephyr communicate with them using her own skills. She must have the same desire and wanted to watch and learn. "Alright, then just hold on tight. Don't want you falling anywhere while I meditate and try to recover some of the natural mana the orb used, and you used."

This seemed to be agreeable for Fleur and she relaxed again. "You know that you are training with everyone to show s what it can do tomorrow, right?" There was no way Gil would let Walker get out of it. They needed to see the limits of this new item and how it could fit in the style of combat that the group used.

The party gradually left Walker alone as he began to meditate and regain some of the natural mana. The only one that refused to leave was Midnight. She was more than set on remaining with Walker and Fleur until he went to bed for the day. She refused to let either of them fall again. Walker could only pat her in the head now and then while meditating until he finally gave in and went inside to his bed. He didn't even care for the fact that he missed dinner.
