Master Of None

Chapter 1548: 1548. An Odd Pair

After things had calmed down, Walker was able to look at Fleur more closely. He was surprised to find that she was the size of an average child. She also had larger semi translucent wings that she wasnʼt moving to float around. The mana that made up the rest of her body was mimicking clothing and a human form which was very impressive.

Not only had she learned something from Shade, but she had used the high mana density to help her change her form.

”You look very good Fleur, wait until you surprise everyone!” His encouragement made her very happy. She was clearly smiling before she melted back in to the spirit mark to rest. Walker wished he could just lay down and sleep on the roof of the mage tower. Unfortunately, he had to make it back down to the lower floors and see how everyone else was doing.

Before Walker left the roof, he glanced at the now dim nature rune that was there. He wished that he could bring the ancient library and mage tower together. They would work very well together to uncover more mysterious. Walker also noticed the mana elemental spirits leaving the mage tower area now that their reason for going there was gone.

Slowly but surely, Walker descended the elemental floors. He caught up to the others who had started to leave before him. They looked exhausted. Remey didnʼt even have the energy to speak in witty terms. Su was dragging her feet. This was to be expected since they had recently bonded with elemental spirits.

Surprisingly, Alice seemed very awake and functioning. Compared to Mordant, Walker expected Alice to be exhausted since Mordant had many years of experience with darkness elemental mana whereas Alice had less experience with light elemental mana.

”You are going to speak with Alice, right? I want to make sure we all go to rest. But Alice looks stressed out.” Gil came up to Walker. He knew that he had to update Walker on what he had done in reference to the light elves. It wasnʼt the time for it though, there were other things they needed more like rest.

”Agreed. We should all rest well. The world called on us and the grand elemental spirits. This is clearly a tradition that happens when certain requirements are met within our world. It was not too major but helped every living being. We deserve to have time to think on this.” Mordant felt that he needed to take time to put his feelings in to order.

While some people had grasped the things they felt differently, Mordant felt it even greater than others. The world had unblocked some things that had been missed by sentient beings when it came to mana and elemental spirits. Now that Mordant could feel this he wanted to take the time to go over everything he knew about darkness elemental mana. He also had Shade by his side.

He had many things to learn about the grand elemental spirit that his partner had bonded with.

Without a word, Su and Remey had headed toward the mansion. ”Alice, would you like me to walk with you to the cathedral or to the mansion?” Walker saw Alice considering this. She could tell that the high priest had felt the mana change and moved back to the cathedral because he could tell that she was safe.

”The mansion is closer.” Alice was clearly in her own head. Walker just took that for what it was and fell in to step with her.

”I am glad you made it back safely. I am sorry for leaving. Mordant and I went to convince the light elemental royal dragon to come here. I hope that you can meet her even though she is not very open to other races.” The thought that Walker had was simple.

After he showed Rise how to change her ways and accept others then he would be able to share his knowledge with her. Therefore, she would be able to share her knowledge with them. The best person to learn from her would be Alice since she had the light elemental affinity. There would also be the light elves but that was something Walker had yet to fully learn.

”No, Iʼm glad you are safe.” Alice reached out for Walkerʼs hand. She was moving slower and slower while thinking about things.

”Nature mage. My new avatar has a lot to think about. Would you like to know what I saw?” Horizon did not hesitate to speak to Walker. There was an unsurety as to why Horizon had just come out to speak with him but Walker had a feeling it was the natural mana that emanated from him and gathered toward him.

”If Alice is alright with it.” Walker would not listen if Alice didnʼt want him to hear what Horizon wanted to say. He respected what Alice believed and felt. If he didnʼt then he was a terrible person as far as he was concerned.

Since Alice was still confused, she nodded. If Horizon was the one to explain things in his own mix matched way then Walker might be able to translate things. It could make it easier for her to also understand. ”I am ready to listen then.” Alice gripped Walkerʼs hand tighter. The stress she felt was a little more than she wanted to handle.

”She had the best affinity for light out of all the beings in this place! I told her multiple times that I didnʼt expect to find someone of her blood here. Sheʼs the only one with blood from that race still left here. Shade would know them better though since he saw them when they were born. Heʼs way older than me.” Horizon giggled a little while telling Walker this.

”You mean…well, you mean that Alice isnʼt human?” Walker was not as surprised by this as he could have been. He knew that he was also less and less human every day. He had bonds with natural mana and dragons. How could he be perfectly human with this? Add in the abyssal serpent bind and now he was going to have a lot of changes in a few years.

”Human? Of course my avatar is part human. How else would she age this way? But those of her blood always speak and the light dances. They usually had wings. Angels are strange.

But I havenʼt seen one for years. Especially after their war. Split them right in two. Thatʼs all I really know though.” Horizon seemed slightly dejected before returning to ramble about how Alice had the perfect blood to withstand light elemental mana in a dense form.

”You mean those old books about angels are real? Wait, war? What else is there to know? We need to learn everything. If angels are real then they were the ancient race that-”

”I only know that much. I am old too, you know. I have seen many things. I stayed where the light was and at one point it was with the angels. But I did not speak to them. No grand spirit at that time would care about another race.

We had to gain mana and work to guide nature. A much busier time for us elemental spirits. Now we donʼt have to lift much of a finger until now.” Horizon was a fountain of knowledge if Walker could organize him. But there was no such luck.

”We should go find Mordant and Shade. So you want to do that? We can rest first? We can get more answers. I am sure I can find…” Alice seemed a little mystified. She wasnʼt even hearing what Walker had to say.

Angels were a myth. A being that no one actually believed was real.

The demons were real, spirits, merfolk, pretty much anything but angels. How could they? Any old text described them as beings that understood the world better than any other. Beings that stood above every and all race. But even those were stories. Angels had never been seen or proven to exist.

No bodies or living ones ever to be seen.

”Well, I know why you are always so amazing. You are literally one of a kind. An angel sent from the powers that be.” Walker joked and pulled Alice a little closer. ”I guess you and I will be an odd pair. The nature royal dragon that started off as a human and the part human part angel that can heal and make the light turn in to anything.”

The short and blunt explanation made Alice snap out of her mind a little. She found it funny that they were now an odd pair that didnʼt seem to make sense. She knew she had been found on the cathedral steps and that the high priest was her father. But what else was she missing? Alice wasnʼt sure if she wanted to know.
