Master Of None

"It's nice to meet you, Shade." Walker approached the darkness elemental grand spirit that seemed to be a human cloaked in shadows. It was off to see such a developed elemental spirit because it was very different from what Walker had expected of a spirit.

"And you as well. I can feel the natural mana flowing through you. It is very impressive that you are so in tune. Or at least that your body has accepted it so well. A nature spirit and the one she bonds with. Very impressive." The tone is not negative nor judging. It even sounded happy.

With every word, Walker could tell that Shade had developed his mana to create suns as any other being. It was almost as if he was trying to make himself a physical body that was not made up of mana. After having this theory cross his mind, Walker wondered if it would be possible to create another unique golem core. One that could house a powerful grand elemental spirit.

"This tower. It acts as a beacon for all the mana around. It is calling me to join it even as we speak. It is very old. Very very old. Almost as only as some of the other ruins in the world. You even moved it here. Impressive." Shade was very intuitive from the many years he had lived within the shadows. Knowing the world was just part of living in it.

"Yes, we took it from the ruins of the desert elf city. It is the grand mage tower with multiple floors of knowledge to help people learn. We call the runes they use origin runes. After generations of being modified, these are the best we have ever seen. It's clear that after this race went to another place, that the other races fell behind the rune developments and didn't find the best flow."

Shade was agreeing with this. He was very curious with everything he was seeing. It had been a long time since he interacted with the world and those that had sentience. The dark shadows were where he had been developing himself for too long.

"Walker, can we figure this out now." Gil got Walker's attention. He had to come back to the main task at hand. He had become too distracted by the new grand elemental spirit that they had not met.

"Sorry, the system hasn't said anything else. It just wants us all to meet and balance the mana using the mage tower." Walker was a little lost as to what this meant.

"Something is missing! You are all bonded and we are not!" Horizon saw this clearly. That was what he believed to be the issue. The very reason that things were not proceeding.

"You believe a bond with another being is what is causing this? I feel the call of the world just the same. A call to use the pure darkness mana to influence the mana in a single burst." Shade did not feel this was required. However, he could tell that he was unable to just release the mana as the world desired. It was blocked in some way from leaving his mana body.

"Stay here, I can feel the right being. Someone born with light in their body. They are very different from everyone else." Horizon was gone just like that. Walker could only wonder what was going on.

"If Horizon proved this to be true. I will accept a bond with someone that I deem proper. However, not many mortal creatures can accept the being I am now." Shade saw the challenge in this. He had altered and refined mana to such an extreme level that many who were not of a high darkness affinity and also understanding of the darkness mana, would have adverse effects on their health.

"I will trust that Horizon knows what he is speaking about. I will rest until then." Zephyr was a little tired out after talking so much with Horizon. She knew that things would be even more eventful once they were able to proceed.

The city had already become affected by the grand elemental spirits gathering. Many people had begun to hear that the heroic party was working with them to balance mana. It was easy for such rumors to spread especially when the guards had to say something to help calm people down. Therefore, when people spotted the waves of light moving through the city, they were not at all surprised.

It would have been foolish for people not to expect the light elemental man to gather toward the cathedral. There was a crystal there that helped the healers help others. The crystal also relied heavily on the light elemental mana to make the healers and nuns more efficient. Just benign there, people would be influenced by the healing aura.

"You don't have to rush there so fast. You are here to recover and rest! I will not let you go to that mage tower and exhaust yourself even more." the high priest didn't want to see Alice looking weak and sickly again. After the adventure and battles of the demon lands, she had returned in a rougher shape than he had ever seen her. She had even insisted on trying to improve the cathedral so that the demons and soldiers returning can be healed more efficiently.

"You should wait for them to finish things there. You will hear it all when they finish. I will even go with you to their mansion to meet with them." This was the worry of a father who had been constantly worried about his daughter the entire time she had been away on a dangerous journey. Now that she was home, he was not willing to allow her to run in to another unknown situation. Even if it was in line with her desires to be a healer.

"You! I can feel it. You are way more in tune with light elemental mana than any other being here. It is literally in your blood. It courses through your veins!" The sudden voice that echoed through the cathedral made the high priest and Alice stop. She had been about to argue with her father but was stopped.

The light that was floating in front of them took shape. "I should say something. Humans like him normally introduce themselves. I am Horizon. It has been a long time since I met someone with your blood. You look like humans though. So weird. When you talk, does the light dance for you? It must! I can feel it!" so much of the rambling from Horizon seemed like nonsense.

"Excuse me. But why are you here?" The high priest was not sure what to think of this situation. He knew that the elemental spirits that had been in the cathedral had left. They went to the mage tower. So how could a speaking one be here?

"I need a partner. Just like the other grand elemental spirits that equal myself. If I don't I can't bond with the world and help fix the manas running rampant. It would help a lot of places you can't see from here. So, how about it? Make a deal with me and I will help you increase your control over the light even higher than your race normally can."

"You are not taking my daughter anywhere-"

"Your daughter? How is this your daughter? You are human and she isn't. That's too funny. Well, wait. Maybe she had human in her. That's odd. But it's even better. You can be the only one that can be my partner. Make a deal with me!" Horizon had already decided. No matter what he had in mind, he would not accept anyone else.

Feeling that there was more to this, Alice was a little skeptical. She had been raised as a human. She looked and felt human. How could she not be? How could she trust a being she had never met before? However, something tugged at the corner of her mind. She wanted to know more. She HAD to know more.

"I will. But you have to help me heal people." There was a single requirement that Alice had. A single requirement that stopped her father, the high priest, from stopping her. He saw that the core value he had taught her made Alice focus all her energy in to healing. She would even ignore the strange words of this elemental spirit to pursue it.

"Perfect! I am the grand light elemental spirit Horizon. I will promise to be with you until you reach the end of your lifespan!" the light became much greater before it formed rune patterns in the air. They fell upon Alice attaching to her arms and legs. Even spreading up her neck before she took a deep breath. Light showing in her eyes.

The same system quest appeared in front of Alice and she understood. With a single hand, she grabbed the high priests' hand and started to walk through the cathedral door. She had to bring him and explain. She could feel a lot more about herself than ever before.
