Master Of None

Chapter 429: 429. Lunar Goddess

Walker was intent on hearing every last word. The beginning of the story had hooked him in and he was hopefully going to be able to hear it to the end while they make their way up the tree branches to the tree house they were staying in. Onyx and Midnight were also invested in the story as they walked.

”The father was caught in the storm and the daughter found herself waiting on the beach every day. She feared her father had been taken by the waves and knew that as the moon rose the tide would change.

She prayed every day for weeks for the tide to bring her father ashore.” Su was remembering more of the story as she spoke and felt that her memory had most certainly improved compared to before her system upgraded.

” The more the girl prayed for the moon to send her father home the more she felt a connection with the ocean itself. After weeks of praying she unlocked her system. It was called the lunar goddess system.

She used her skills to feel the tides and see through the light of the moon.” Walker was having a hard time imagining how one would see through the light of the moon, but he knew that seers could see the future in the water of a flame of a candle so he didnʼt doubt it.

”In just a few hours she had changed the tides themselves and a damaged fishing boat drifted on to the shore. She used her skills to heal her father with moonlight and bring him back to full health. Unfortunately for her, the system she had gained required her to always be bathed in the light of the moon.

It is said that after she healed her father the sunʼs rays breached the nearby mountains and she turned to stone.”

Midnight and Onyx were both shocked to hear this part of the story. They wanted the girl and the father to live happily ever after, but there was still more to the story.

”Every night she would return to being the lunar goddess and travel the beaches bringing sailors and those lost at sea back. She would heal them and then as the sun came she would return to stone. The people who found her statue prayed to her thinking she was a totem. The story ended with the fact that she was a goddess who would live until the moon fell.”

Waler was sure that there must be more somewhere, but it sounded like the story was happy and sad at the same time. ”She gained the power to control tides and heal with moonlight but lost the ability to walk in the sun. I feel a little sad about that…”

”It was a great power, I know there is more to the story but I would need to find the book. That was just the story of her birth. I know there is more about deeds as a goddess. I wonder if it is real though.” Su looked up at the treehouse and made the last few steps to open the door.

”If it is real I hope she is happy. Who knows, maybe we will meet her one day.” Walker laughed while Onyx and Midnight pestered them to find the story book when they got home. After some time they all managed to settle down and rest before they heard a knock on the door.

”Sierra! What brought you here?” Walker was a little sleepy still from his nap but was very happy to see Sierra coming to visit them again.

”I will be your escort to one of the lunar ritual platforms outside the city. There are a few monsters that come out at night and it is better to be together than alone. Your party members are also being escorted there.” Sierra was still surprised that Walker was able to easily tell apart the enforcers even though they were all almost identical.

”Let me get Su and Midnight and we can head out.” Walker could already feel Onyx in his tattoo form on his arm so all he needed to do was wake up the girls.

The four were ready in just a few minutes and had shaken the sleep from their eyes. They saw that the sun had begun to set. Sierra moved very quickly but the group was able to keep up without an issue.

”Finally you guys get here. I have been waiting forever!” Gil was standing at the edge of the forest with a green and black quiver hanging off his shoulder.

”Is that the quiver you have been making? How does it work?” Walker was immediately excited to see the creation but Gill turned away and hid it from him.

”I need to have a lunar priestess bless it tonight so that the skill can work with it. The natural mana at night is related to the materials I used to make it and will help it bond to me and me alone.” Gil was a little over protective but it was understandable since it had been his full focus for the past few days.

”I see, so you will have it all set up for your arrows after the blessing. Then I wonʼt be your arrow boy.” Walker laughed at the fact that he would need to watch Gil put away every arrow he had in his inventory.

”I thought Remey would be here already.” Su was worried that Su had worked herself in to exhaustion but Gil immediately perked up.

”She is actually ahead of us. The master alchemist said that she needed to start setting up the platform for the lunar priestess. I think Remey will complete her skill tonight since the warriors were all gone but for Wade. You would be amazed how well he is doing after he was healed by their best healer.” Gil started to ramble on while Sierra tried to get the party moving again.
