Master Of None

Walker thought for a moment on how the mana had moved through the air around them when Monty had tried to use the skill. "I think the wind elemental mana became the strongest at first. The fire and water were drawn but not as dense. That gave me the feeling that it was about to rain or a big storm was on its way." 

"I had that feeling too. I have a decent grasp of the wind elemental and the water elemental mana. But fire is a weak point since I lack the affinity. I believe thaT is also where Monty will struggle. The fire elemental mana is not very prevalent within a forest such as this." 

"Then he should meditate next to a fire. When I was trying to understand the dark flames that balance light elemental mana with darkness elemental there was also the fusing elemental mana; fire. I only started to truly catch on to hope to balance it when the shadows of the mansion retreated to a certain point." Walker was recalling the natural flow of darkness and light within a day. Doing so had given him insight. 

"That should be a good way to train. But wouldn't it be too low intensity? I believe that you should use some of your magic skills to add a little extra heat." Scylla was a fan of extreme training and didn't want to see something so simple as meditating the entire time. 

"Maybe leave it at meditating near a fire. I made my best discoveries in the peace while meditating and not the chaos. You could make it two or three small fires though. That would increase the fire elemental mana but it might make the water elemental mana harder to find." Walker did not like the look in Scyllas' eyes. 

"Then we will have three pools of water and three fires. Then I will send small gusts of wind with my fan to help him feel the three interacting naturally." Walker was beginning to have fears that a massive fire tornado would surface. 

"Just try not to break his focus. If he gets in to the proper setting then he could stay like that for hours. I once meditated all night and in to the morning. I felt like I wouldn't be able to move my knees ever again" The feeling of sitting in a mediating cross legged position for hours was not one Walker had enjoyed. 

"Hours?" This was another look that made Walker think that he had told Scylla the wrong thing. " If he can mediate for hours it is all the better. He should be able to fully understand what he is capable of before returning home." Scylla looked like she had been thinking about something else while speaking. 

"Surius, come over here," Scylla called to the nearby Surius who was still observing Monty. "You should train with the spell swords to better combat magic while also working on your sword skills. This will be the best use of your time. Many of the other kingdoms have magical attacks and you will need a way to counter them in grand tournaments." Scyllas' vicious smile made Walker worry about what these grand tournaments could mean. 

"If I had to guess...these grand tournaments are a way you will suggest our three kingdoms bond?" Walker could tell that this was the direction the meeting would go if he let Scylla take the lead. This was a good heads up for him to prepare to keep the topic on more important things. 

"Of course. How will we be able to judge the quality of youth and our toughest adult warriors? We three kingdoms can come together and show off our strength while also offering rewards to improve those who work the hardedst. It is a win win situation.' Scylla had made it sound like it would be the best all around event possible. 

"I can't argue that it would be beneficial. But there is much more to do at first than for everyone to jump in to a tournament." Walker tried to get her to hold off but the way she was acting he knew that not only her will but the will of king Rorick was behind the idea. 

"We can do both. The demi-human kingdom would be hosting the first one. How could we suggest an idea to the other kingdoms that we weren't prepared to back up?" Walker decided it was best for him to just let this be and wait for the actual meetings when he would have back up from the others in attaendance to stop this idea from running rampant. 

Thinking that he had to find a way to get out of this conversation Walker decided that he should try and get to the tree house where he could say he was preparing to receive the king. Which wouldn't be a lie since he needed to make sure that every one of the party was together. 

"I need to head out and prepare for when the king gets here. Please be polite to the unicorn's guardian in my stead. I will head out now." Scylla didn't even try to stop Walker since she had already gained the plans she needed to add training in to Monty's day. 

"Do you mind if I follow you? I will need to find the spell swords training area and train harder than number two over there." This was one of the first time that Sirius had directly spoken to Walker and it was about his very own rival. This made Walker feel like Surius was less complicated than he made himself out to be. 

"Sure, stick with me. Midnight and Onyx are over there so we will grab them and say farewell to the guardian." Walker headed toward the herd of unicorns once again to see all of the young resting and the adults now entertaining themselves with Onyx and Midnight.
