Master Of None

Mordant had attempted to go to the elemental floor to absorb dark elemental mana. He wanted to replenish the mana he had used. In the matter of a day he had used so much mana that he felt he was not the same dragon. Unfortunately, when he tried to enter the mage tower he found that he was much more exhausted than he had expected.

The bonding of a spirit mark took a toll. It cost a great deal of the being's personal mana to perfectly meld on to their soul. The reason Mordant and Shade had bonded so well was the fact that Mordant had such a high affinity for darkness elemental mana. There was also the addition of Mordant's partner being part of Shade now.

The only possible place for him to go was the mansion. He walked there through the streets seeing people out and about taking the rest of the day off since there had been such an interesting happening. May gossiped about the mage tower and what the gourds were being told. It was lucky that Gil had taken the time to explain to one guard what had happened and that it was a natural phenomenon.

What struck Mordant as odd was that he found Alice and Walker in the front entrance. It was very clear that Walker had sensed Mordant coming and had waited. "What seems to be the problem? the bond went well and so did the meeting of manas." There was worry that Walker had found out something bad. However, it was not at all what mordant expected.

"We actually want to speak with Shade. His memories of the world might have some answers. Horizon said that Alice has angel bloodline within her. She looks human but has the affinity and ability to bond with him because of that blood. Shade might-"

"Yes, the angels and their little war with themselves. Forget the monsters that controlled storms and destruction. The angels were weak little things until they grasped the mana of the world and more." Shade rose from the shadows and spoke. He had been watching. He had the memories of Mordant's partner. He would never let a tired Mordant go unguarded. It was part of his bond.

"So it is true." Alice couldn't help but mumble. She had partially hoped that she was just an ordinary human. "Things are complicated now."

"It is not much of an important subject. You are blessed with such a bloodline that persisted. I have not seen those flying beings for many years. They fought each other and split up finally letting the monsters they struck down reclaim their territory. Then they disappeared. It was much easier to relax and absorb mana after that." Shade seemed like he didn't like that there were many races or sentient beings around anywhere. He seemed to be a recluse like Mordant was when gathering mana.

"Wait, so they are the ancient race that created the tower and the library!? The mythical angel race that everyone said was just an imagined creation by artists?" Walker stumbled through his words. Even Mordant was just standing speechless.

"Ruins? Tower? Who cares what they made? When I first found them in the dark they were hidden things with small wings. They learned about mana and fostered monsters as their beasts. Later they argued over theories and split apart. That was when they left my dark caves alone and I could remain at peace." Shade was very minimal in his knowledge but it was key.

"Why do we have to be tired and need rest!? This is huge. We have been trying to assemble all these pieces about the ancient race. Now you say that angels actually existed?"

"Well, the demon race exists and that could easily be deemed as a strange myth. Beings with magic and horns that can easily become monsters, grow wings, and become radically different demon variants within their own species. Why not angels?" Mordant understood that sentient life in the world was not simple. It was over complicated and a massive mystery of nature.

"We need to translate their rune language and find some history about what happened. We know that they split because of disagreements in theories now. That means that the mage tower and the library were the two locations they went become the split race moved somewhere else. Ascended or maybe left…" Walker had too many theories of his own and wanted to find proof. This was a huge lead.

"NO!" Alice stopped Walker with the loudest shout she had ever given him. "You need to sleep. You need to eat. You need to take a break." Her tone of voice said that Walker had absolutely no choice. If he wanted to do anything he would have to rest first.

"Thank you Shade." Alice gave a soft nod to Shade.

"Very polite. Horizon chose a very good avatar. I am older than most, my memories are not clear. Especially after melding them with another spirit's precious memories. That does not mean I won't recognize what the mana feels like. You have the affinity of an angel but that is all. Your voice may cause the light to move but you are not the same. Human as any other." Shade left them while Mordant just stood silently before realizing that he wasn't needed at this moment. He could sense the room.

"Come on, I will make us some food and tea. We can go read something in the library. Relax and fall asleep in front of the fireplace." Walker took Alice's hand and pulled her away. He pretended not to see the small smile on her face.

Not only had Alice feared that she would be seen as different but also that Walker would not accept her if she was different. She realized this was all foolish though. Even one of the oldest elemental spirits, beings, that they had ever met was able to shrug off that she might have a little blood from an ancient race. How could she let it rule her so much?

While they did this, Mordant made his way to the room that Walker had given him. It had a very large bed and was very luxurious. "That wasn't everything you remember. You have a few traits that took over when you and my partner became one." Mordant didn't even need proof. He just knew.

"Yes. there is more. If the angels are still around they will cause trouble. They may not all have ascended to other planes of existence. Some of their blood is not an issue but if there are purer angels around then they will gladly stand for their beliefs and cause wars. There are many reasons the monsters changed over time. Nature being one reason, the angels' minds being another." Shade gave this last warning before he refused to speak again. Mordant just lay down thinking of all this before he decided to meditate. To clear his mind.

While the mansion became quieter, Remey and Su also slept. They had many visions of fire and earth in their dreams. Gil had also managed to make it to the mansion along with Alma. she had demanded a full explanation of what had happened and where he had rushed off to.

Many of the elves and the mages had spoken about the balancing of mana. Many had gained new insights in their studios. It was a grand change for the world but mostly for Genesis. They all knew what originated in the city and why.

"The light elves that came with us are going to try to build their own territory as the other elves are. I want you to come tomorrow. Also, I will invite Alice. Having the grand light elemental spirit there will help them learn more. Change their ideals and what they were living in before." The strict rules were what Alma worried about. The light elves were in a large culture shock.

"I promise I will. But you and I both should sleep first. Days on end without sleep even though our levels and bodies can take it is not good. Look at the ivy wrapped around your arms. It is starting to turn brown. That means you are not able to properly focus on it right now. You told me that." Gil did not budge. He would make sure Alma was taken care of first.

"I will rest as soon as you and Zephyr promise to help tomorrow. Promise me that you will keep working to unite the elves with me." Alma saw Gil smile and nod with her. He wanted the same things as her. Tomorrow would be a big step since every elven race was together for the first time in many generations. The elves would be fully united.
