Master Of None

"Su is right. I just learned it but it was not really intentional. I reacted on instinct and the next thing I knew I was stepping on the air and making it ripple. Thank you by the way Su, I was a little unfocused." Walker scratched his head but Su just showed a storing smile. 

"It's my job to protect everyone around me." She was proud of herself for her ability to sense the situation and act. 

Remey tried ti get Walker to keep showing off the skill but the night was getting towards the end. Walker managed to find Midnight and collected Onyx. Gil and Alma were still caught up in conversation and Walker decided to give her his farewell while leaving the two to say their own. 

"He looks so gooey and lovey over there. Do you think he even realizes he likes the future queen of, you know, THE ELVES?" Remey was gossiping with Su and Walker as they headed to rest for their leave in the morning. 

"I think it is romantic. At first, he looked afraid of her and the blue ivy she grew around her. Yet now, they can't stop talking and he looks more at home than ever." Su was much more the romantic than the other two whereas Midnight and Onyx were the ones who were farthest from such things. 

"He is happy here since he has a lot of others with the same system. I think he has never been around so many people that let him explore his own system as he has here. He also may be letting the fame go to his head." Walker ended with a laugh while thinking about the elven archers that had used all their mana to create arrows with him. 

"You don't think… he would stay here." Remey has slowed down considerably when this thought hit her. She saw the party as her family, sometimes even more than that. To her, there was nothing that would bring her more pain than seeing any of them hurt. The idea that Gil might try and stay here while they went on to other adventurers caused a sharp pain to pierce her. 

"Never, he would lose his mind worrying over the things he missed. I also think he will want to tell the stories to a certain future queen." Walker was easily able to mitigate the worry. 

"We will see them in the new city too. I have a feeling that future rulers and other influential figures will flock there." Su knew that this was a guarantee for the future of the city of Genesis. There was no other way for them all to interact and grow unless they traveled individually to other kingdoms. But heading to the one city they could learn many new things to grow. 

"I'll still give him a punch to make sure he knows that he needs to stay and adventure with us," Remey said it as if it was something that would make her feel better more than it would make Gil stay. But Walker and Su knew they couldn't stop her from doing so and just went with the flow. 

By the time they had finished their conversation they had arrived at the tree house and were feeling the built up tiredness. Sleep was the only thing on their minds and that was exactly what they did. The sounds of Gil entering just minutes after them weren't even noticed. 

The dawn broke through the leaves of the trees and pushed the party in to the world of the waking. They had already gathered their items the day before and only had the basics to deal with. 

The elf city was surprisingly silent in the morning due to the celebrations of the previous night. The sun and soft breeze caused the dew to shine on every leaf and blade of grass around. The vines shimmered in their own elegance making all of them sad to leave such a beautiful place. "I think we should go see that view again before we leave. Plus we have adopted the tradition already." Walker pointed up to the lightning struck branch and began to climb higher. 

Midnight was the most excited for this since she wanted to burn off some of her open energy in the morning. The others had the feeling that Walker would be the winner as usual but they would get to compete with each other. "I thought you would all follow our traditions." Wade was at the top waiting for them when they arrived. 

"I know Calen would be here to send you off herself as well if she wasn't off on her own quests. And Alma was stubborn in saying that she already said goodbye and couldn't possibly say it again." Wade shook his head knowing full well that Alma was too afraid to cry seeing her new friends leave. 

"I had some hope we would say goodbye to you too. I have a feeling that you might be one of the first to be at the new capital city." Walker arm bumped Wade out of respect for another party leader. 

"You should wait for me there. I will be bringing as many of the trainee enforcers as I am allowed to see it and learn from the other kingdoms." Wade smirked while making sure to say his farewells to every single member of the party. "Oh, and Gil. Don't you dare try and take my title too." With this Wade hooped down to the next branch and was heading back down. 

"He didn't seem like one for goodbyes, but I am glad we saw him." Walker nodded at the leaving Wade. "Well, we should get going, Run!" Walker was the first to start the run down from the top branch. He left with the flurry of the wind and the smile of his face. 

The other rulers had equally left or were preparing to leave. They had many things to do in their own kingdoms and some even watched as the heroes left the city.
