Master Of None

"Hmm, a being like you is the only one that will not suffer upon binding with myself. It is a sad moment since I do not intend to leave this world just yet. I desire to gain my own being before I am to ascend to the darkness elemental plane..." Shade had been in deep contemplation while looking at Mordant.

This was the only being that was able to properly handle the insane amount of darkness elemental mana that Shade had. Even then, it would come at a high price for Mordant since he was still not able to handle a grand elemental spirit that had incredibly dense elemental mana stored over the course of thousands of years more than Mordant had lived.

"If you do so, I will be considered one of the strongest darkness dragons to exist. But It would be betraying the dark spirit that has been around me for most of my life. Even I have not bonded properly with it yet, but I desire to." the dark spirit heard Mordant and moved out of the shadows. It was focused on him with all the energy it had.

"That can be remedied. It is just a high dark spirit. I will welcome it to join me." Shade had not absorbed another elemental spirit before. It was something that only the lower elemental spirits did to become higher in the ranking of elemental spirits. Not many at his level would consider this unless it was required.

"That wouldn't change him…would it?" Walker was surprised to see Mordant letting down the tough walls that made him a royal dragon. Seeing the emotion in Mordant's body language was eye opening.

"No. we would become a perfect fusion. Only those that fuse to become stronger lose memories and reset to what they change in to. I and this one would remain the same but with shared memories. If it has truly been with you for life, then I will know you better than any other upon this plane." Shade didn't want to lose memories either. He had valuable knowledge from existing for so long.

"Out of all the elemental spirits I have met and read about, I have not seen any that have controlled their body like Shade. Mordant, you have my support in this if you feel more comfortable with it." Walker knew that Mordant needed a little encouragement. As the nature royal dragon, it made sense that Walker would be the one offering this encouragement.

Everyone had calm expressions while they watched Mordant consider these things. However, it appeared that it was not up to Mordant at all. The dark spirit moved in front of Shade and spoke one word. "Yes."

"Then that is what we shall do. Unlike the nature spirit there, we will be the same but slightly different." The tendrils of shadow that reached out for the dark spirit were soft and not at all dangerous. They made everyone feel that the darkness elemental mana was often misconstrued as more dangerous than it really was.

Not many people realized that the decaying effect from darkness elemental mana was beneficial. Nature needed it to break down things and help welcome new life. The shadows were why people could see the light. It was part of nature and was not always causing harm. It was a very positive mana that could create a bright future for many. The dark elves knew this well but they had not been around to share this knowledge as widely as other elves had their own mana.

Watching this happen was something that many felt was a gift from the world. The fusion of mana in to a deeper and purer form was something many had to spend generations doing. Mordant was proof of this since it was a dragon's highest goal.

Even Walker and Fleur felt the natural mana react to such a process happening in front of them. What surprised them the most was that when the shape of Shade began to reform, it was even more defined. There were more characteristics showing that he had taken on a slightly draconic form to copy the things that the dark spirit had seen its entire time with Mordant.

"How you have grown…I have seen you for many years. The shadows you reached out for were our home. The place you hid, the place you welcomed, and the place we saw. I am impressed. You never shunned me and now that I have lived that time…I am still Shade. The world named me so. But I will be your family now. Just as that nature spirit is also his family."

Shade still spoke in the same cool manner. However, there was a swirling smoke like shadow that appeared around him as he reached out toward Mordant. The connection between them blossomed as Mordant felt the familiar mana of the darkness spirit he had known for years. He had not realized that they had already begun forming a bond just by gaining strength together for so long.

The feeling of darkness elemental runes appearing along his scales was welcome. As if they had always waited to be there. As if this was part of his body that he had been waiting to gain. For a darkness dragon, he was now able to say he had reached the highest understanding of darkness elemental mana that any darkness dragon had ever reached. He would be a figure that every darkness dragon could look to with honor in their hearts.

"How do you feel?" Walker took a moment to look and sense the mana around Mordant. He looked the same as before. His dark scales hid the marks that had formed due to the bond with a grand elemental spirit.

"I think I feel complete. It had been a long time since I noticed my friend looking at me from the shadows." Mordant took a deep breath. "We just need the light grand spirit, correct?" There was a serious and calm look that made Walker feel that Mordant had greatly improved his determination. Walker could tell that Mordant would be an unshakable ally in the future. Even if he was not In Genesis, Mordant would surely come to assist things.

"I'm here." The sweet and pure voice that Walker would be able to hear through any means of chaos or crowd appeared from behind him. Alice had rushed dragging the high priest with her.

"Alice?" Walker was not sure why she had come at such a pace. However, when he sensed the dense light elemental mana coming from around her, he knew what had happened. "So you are the one that Horizon found." Everyone that knew Alice smiled knowing that it made a lot of sense.

"I did! She is more than any other here. The perfect being to mix with my light elemental mana. Much better than the light elves I spent so much time around. I thought one would be born that matched my mana. But she was here the whole time!" Horizon coaxed the other grand spirits towards him. He was very energetic.

What Walker still didn't understand was why Horizon was so open and bright. Most high light elemental spirits rose to float above others to remain higher. But Horizon was open and bright, becoming a focus with his energy and method of movement. It was a very different form of light that he brought.

"We can talk more later, alright?" Alice was giving an expectant look to Walker. She clearly had a lot she wanted to say and after Walker said this, she nodded slowly. Her mind was full of many things she wanted his help to understand. Horizon had already muddled her thoughts.

"Let's enter the tower…" Remey felt a pulling force that made her want to go inside the tower that she had not trained much in. even the grand spirits were reacting to the slowly gathering mana.

"Come on Fleur, let's go." Walker felt that the mana around them was being given by all the elemental spirits called by the world. It was a happening that would cement Genesis as the center of mana and the best place to study it in the world. Something that only natural mana could possibly do.

The unbalanced mana that the world had due to everything that had happened with grand elemental spirits ascending seemed mirrored within the elemental floors. They were still dense with mana but had uneven dispersions of it.

When each of the spirits and their partners reached the floor that matched their mana, they stopped. They felt that they were exactly where they were meant to be. The only one still climbing the tower was Walker. He and Fleur felt that they were going higher than they had before. Above the top floor which waited for the person who could be considered the grand mage of the mage tower to take a rightful place.
