Master Of None

Being Interrupted during his meditation would normally have been a bit annoying. He and Fleur were making a massive benefit of the runes around them. Their elemental mana storage and conversion in to natural mana was very high in the core of the ship.

However, the reason they were interrupted was that many rune carvers were taking positions around the rune array at the core of the ship. It appeared that they were making the best of what Walker had said earlier. He had unintentionally encouraged them to push themselves to make the rune adjustments and add even more wind elemental runes.

The main reason why Walker was interrupted was that Gil was speaking to the rune carvers. His voice was louder than the carvers since he was trying to get a clear understanding of what he would have to do. "So, you want Zephyr and I to channel the wind down here in the middle of the ship? Is that safe? You know that there is not much moving air down here."

"Yes, that is exactly what we want. The fire, earth, and water manas are all a little dense down here. It will stop our wind carvers from being able to better the runes here already. But with your help and a grand elemental spirit's help, we can make the runes solid enough for an entire year without the need for adjustment!"

The rune carver was very happy to have a grand elemental spirit that would work with them. It was a wonder that they weren't on their knees thanking Gil and Zephyr already. The simple fact was, many mages and the elves, in particular, thought that the grand elemental spirits were very important. They were literally embodiments of forces of nature.

"Coming all the way down here, asking the rune carvers so many loud questions. How could someone interrupt another person's meditation like that? So Rude!" The sarcastic tone that Walker adopted brought a smirk to Gil's face. He was clearly able to tell that Walker was here.

"I couldn't just let everyone not know I was here helping others. I am a kind soul that truly wishes to help. Let me just prepare to do my best here." Gil spoke louder and louder until Walker walked up and elbowed him. The two laughed a little. "So, will you be helping carve runes or just attracting elemental mana? I don't know what natural mana would do with the runes."

"To be honest, I will probably make trouble if I do that. There are no natural mana runes here. And the runes here are not made to be able to handle the concentrated elemental mana that Fleur and I would bring if we worked together. It wouldn't ruin the ship but it would put a lot more stress on the runes." Walker could tell this already. He had learned enough that this was a huge possibility.

"I also think that I won't be of much use when it comes to the wind elemental mana. Zephyr carries the strongest authority over it because she is the Grand wind elemental spirit. If Fleur and I interfere it might be a problem." The odds of him and Fleur causing Zephyr stress and ruining the flow of mana was high. From what Walker could tell, having too many cooks in this kitchen would be detrimental to the rune arrays.

"No! You have to help!" Zephyr had been silent. She had been resting On Gil's shoulder since he had been found by the rune carvers. She was enjoying the attention in all of this. But even more, she was happy that she was able to try something new.

"You heard her, Fleur has been recruited and so have you." Gil smiled while Walker became curious. But from what he could see, Fleur was also enjoying it. There was some hidden conversation going on between Zephyr and Fleur that made him realize that he still was far from understanding the elemental spirits. Let alone the grand elemental spirits that had a much deeper connection to their and the world's mana.

"You two can help me pull the mana down here. Go to the floor above and let the connection with the wind flow through you. I will do the rest with Gil." Zephyr smooshed Gil's cheek to encourage him. She seemed very energetic. Being out in the open ocean had welcomed her free flying mentality even more. It appeared that she was ready to see what the ocean winds had in store for her.

"Can we begin in a moment?" The elves that had been working with the dwarves were mostly wind elves. That was why they were able to best learn to be wind rune carvers. They specifically worked with wind runes and were the most experienced. They brought extremely valuable knowledge to the golem ship which made them core members needed to maintain every single ship.

"Sure thing, let us go up the stairs and start pulling wind elemental mana from the air outside." Walker didn't hesitate. He knew that people were waiting on him so he had to push himself in to a faster pace. He had been the one lagging behind by sitting around meditating for however long it had been. But it had been a worthwhile rest since he knew that there was more natural mana stored up in case of any future dangers.

Gi gave a slight wave as Walker and Fleur made their way to the stairs. The stairs were connected right to the top of the ship. There was always a better airflow there. But it was still hard to make the airflow go through the entire ship because of the fact that the ship was so large and there were many things that stood in the way of perfect airflow.

The moment that Walker started to focus solely on manipulating the wind elemental mana, he felt Fleur join him. She had a better control of mana overall since she was made of it. The natural mana was just the backing force to all mana. The wind elemental mana was a small part of it. Therefore, his strength when it came to attracting a single elemental mana was surprisingly strong.

Adding in Walker's manipulation, the wind was at their call. Using a minimal amount of his own mana, a gust of wind rushed through the stairwell. The reaction from Zephyr and Gil was instant.

Gil was not a mage by any means. He could not call on the wind the same way that a mage could. Yet, he had the ability to channel elemental mana from elemental crystals in to an arrow head. This meant that he was not afraid of trying to manipulate elemental mana in some form.

Zephyr's assistance made it possible to appear as if he was a mage. The wind elemental mana rushed to Gil and Zephyr becoming a ball of wind that rotated over the runes. From there, it was a simple matter. Zephyr focused on the mana and split it in to streams of wind that the wind carvers could easily grasp.

The runes that were carved looked like flowing clouds. They were made to take weight from the ship so that it could better take the natural ocean winds and push through the waters. While their john was small in comparison to the extremely detailed wind runes being carved, both Walker and Gil could sense a difference occurring.

The ship creaked a little less as the runes were formed which showed the lessening stress. But it was also showing that the wind carvers were doing their best to ensure that the job was done perfectly in line with the other elemental runes already in existence on the ship.

Surges of mana permeated the ship making many working stop. They could feel the changes occurring. The mages aboard were even more sensitive to the differences. Wind mages in particular were able to grasp the changes and enlighten themselves. The changes in the wind from a grand wind elemental spirit were more profound than any other elemental spirit could be.

"A little more!" The process had only felt like a few minutes. In reality, Walker and Gil had become focused. They could sense their teamwork in this matter. It was a different kind of battle but one that made them able to get closer overall. In the future, their cooperation as a party would only rise.

"That's it! Next ship!" however Gil and Walker had thought and felt about the situation suddenly changed when the rune carver in charge said this. Neither of them had fully grasped the bigger picture. Neither of them had caught on that they unintentionally volunteered to do this to every ship that needed it. They had a lot more work to do.
