Master Of None

"Leaving already? I thought that you would be staying longer." The elder came over as soon as he saw that Walker looked to be ready to leave with Sirius. 

"I should start to prepare for the king coming. My party should be ready to speak with him and the others he brings with him before the meetings. I also said I would help Sirius get to the spell swords training. He has some sword skills that he wants to train." Walker felt bad that he was leaving after such a short while but with another glance at the young unicorns, he knew that they were already tired out. 

"The unicorns have been very happy to see you and your siblings over there. I believe that you would be welcome to spend time here whenever you want. Just make sure that you hold back from now on." The unicorn's defender decided it was best to let Walker head out. He was also trying to keep an eye on Scylla and Monty who were training some distance away. 

"I hope you are not too bothered by the demi-human guests I showed here. I should have asked permission." Walker realized that he had basically barged in with those that had not been invited. 

"That is what you are worried about? I have no qualms with anyone you bring. So far they have followed my rules and have yet to give me trouble. It is nice to have something new to see sometimes. I will keep an eye on them and make sure that the young ones do not bother them when they wake up." The elder just laughed as he walked toward the herd. 

"Onyx, Midnight! We are heading out to get everyone else together." Walker's shout caused the two to stop their playing and head over. The adult unicorns looked at them strangely before returning to those that were resting and watching the four head out. 

"Brother, they said that your skills are very misleading. They thought you had hurt their children but found that they were perfectly fine." Onyx was sharing what he had been speaking to one of the adult unicorns about. He had spent the time playing while also gossiping. 

"I wasn't sure what would happen until I read the skill. I was very glad that it could do something like that though. I didn't need to worry about using too much strength in a slash. I didn't even think about trying the cross slash skill. It would have been too dangerous." Walker had known that this skill would have caused severe damage to the young unicorns and avoided it as best as he could.

"I am a little sad I wasn't able to get a blocking skill using swords or a deflecting skill. I think I should train with Su to try and get them. They would be great to have in my repertoire." Walker was lamenting this as they stepped out of the unicorns field space. The familiar trees of the elf city took up their view and they moved in the direction of the training area.

"We were at this training area the other day with Scylla helping to train some of the trainee elves. We should be allowed in to train. I figure there is a least a small group of the spell sword trainees there." Walker made sure that Sirius would know why and where they were going. It made sense to let him know just in case no one was able to lead him back to where they were staying later. 

'That would be ideal. I am very curious how their sword skills will match the leaping sword style I have been training. The leaping sword play skill was one that my father taught me and I have taken most of my years to learn." This was a better reply than Walker expected sin Surius appeared not to be a conversationist. 

'That is why you have those jumps and elegant airs about you when you fight. I remember the match between you and Monty in the little tournament. I wasn't sure how I would have countered you at the time." Walker admitted that he had not had an idea of how he would have gone against either him or Monty. This was true of his lower level and lesser skills at the time. 

"From what I can see you are a different warrior than you were back then. I am sure if you used your magic then we would not have been able to even stand near you.' Sirius had already seen through this fact. Walker may be a decent warrior but it was too easy to see that he excelled in magic more. 

"But the rules were not to use magic to attack. That's why I made those earth swords to attack. They were both a distraction and a means to attack." His idea had worked fairly well and he had wanted to practice making more weapons from elements. The only problem was that they would not be strong enough to hold up against forged weapons. 

"It was a very impressive use of magic. There are mole trait demi-humans who can do similar things with earth based magic. They will often change the terrain in a battle to sand or another way to make things hard on their opponent.' Walker felt like he was gaining valuable future strategies for Surius and almost didn't want to reach the training area. 

"I believe that doing so is good if they are alone or with others of the same skill set. But I am with my party and if I change the terrain then they could be put in a worse situation. I do make some interesting bunkers though. It came in useful a few times." Walker recalled the temporary tower and bunker he had made when he was in battle. This statement surprised Sirius more than Walker had expected.
