Master Of None

"Orc. for sure. Or maybe a troll? If it's not a monster then a guard? Or wait, maybe it's a cyclops." Gil rattled off multiple ideas making Su get visibly more annoyed with each one. Walker was sure that he was about to watch the end of Gil's life. 

Su turned to Walker with a piercing gaze, "And what do you think?" He was not so foolish to fall in to the same trap as Gil. 

"Well, We already told Lisa about the shiny silver golem so she might try and make you look strong and powerful like that. Or she might follow the golems Remey told her about and make you look clean cut and efficient. But in all honesty, you will look great in anything that Lisa gives you an option for. I bet you could even add more dragon like equipment and dress as a dragon kin. Midnight might like that." 

Su seemed to calm down and liked some of the ideas.. The thought of matching Midnight was a delightful one that she decided she would bring up to Lisa as soon as she finished dealing with Gil. "So who said I would be dressed like an orc? A giant orc?" Su placed a strong hand on Gils' shoulder making him wince. 

"Umm, no I just. Well, I was still too tired from this morning walk. I need to wake up and speak properly. I'm sure you will be in the strongest and most beautiful costume." Gil fruitlessly tried to dig himself from the hole he had dug. 

"Oh, I'm sure you will be dressed as a goblin or a gremlin. I will talk to Lisa about some green face paint or maybe even some smelly clothing to make it all fit better." Su left the room with Gil worrying in place. 

"You know, you did that to yourself, right? Su rarely gets angry." Gil knew all too well that he had brought it on himself. 

"Well, you could have tried to help me out. I was just talking on instinct. We are supposed to be brothers now." Gil pretended to be offended. "Anyways, do you think the elemental spirits are really causing all the trouble? I didn't see Zephyr this morning so I have no idea what has happened if you woke up more elemental spirits." 

"Well, I went to wake them up and we managed to awaken the water hound spirit that I had been given in the forest elf city. It was a surprise but I'm sure Su mentioned it since it is currently running around the training field chasing after the water spirits by the pond." Walker could see the cute water hound just enjoying the open space. 

"Su did mention it, and that you helped fuse the spirits that wanted to stay with you in to a nature spirit. Then she said that Zephyr helped contain the elemental mana left to wake the others. However, some must have stayed here while others rushed off elsewhere?" Gil had already figured most things out with Su but he wanted to confirm it all With Walker so he was giving proper answers to anyone that was asking. 

"Exactly, now I need to work on a few other things but I think letting more people know about the elemental spirits roaming about will be better. But I feel like the kingdom can adjust well without any issue. There are plenty of people getting quests now that never had systems. I'm sure some will get spirit related quests." Walker was holding hope that this would happen and that the kingdom would accept spirits faster. 

"I am sure they will. Well, I feel like I need to go and spread some knowledge now that the spirits are around. I have a few people to talk to about arrow materials too. I used a lot the past month and really should stock up. Also, you used all the elemental mana crystals…" Walker looked apologetic as Gil left but they both knew that it was unavoidable for the situation. 

"Midnight, Onyx. I am going to see what the wandering blacksmith thinks of my quest to make a weapon. I think I will wait until after the festival to meditate for a day and begin forging. So if you two want, we can check out costumes after?" Midnight was a little excited about what Lisa could have made her but she was more excited for the food that would come the next day. 

Midnight followed with a spring in her step and Onyx curled up on her back to bask in the morning sun. He was content with the way things were going and had been enjoying the last day back in the mansion. It was much calmer and relaxing than traveling. Plus he was able to spend time in the light getting stronger and napping. It was a habit he had picked up from Midnight and enjoyed just as much. 

The scraping sound that was coming from the forge was very intense but clearly coming from the sharpening of weapons. "Hello!" Walker announced their presence and the wandering blacksmith looked up slightly before returning to sharpening a small dagger that Walker recognized as Gil's. "Looks like Gil needed some maintenance." 

The nod came again and the wandering blacksmith finished with his task and gave Walker his full attention. "Alright, so I have a quest that I wanted to make a staff for. But it changed a little and I can make just about anything. I was thinking that I would make a staff anyways since I have materials that work well with it. But I have a skill that allows me to mold crystals and I happen to have made a moldable crystal ball." Walker pulled it from his inventory showing the wandering blacksmith. 

"I was wondering if we could use this as a base and make something that could use every single element and possibly transform in to any weapon as long as I have the proper materials and skills to change it." The wandering blacksmith looked like he had just been handed the greatest challenge of his life. "Oh, and when the lesser nature spirit awakens it will help us spirit forge it so that it can use it as a dwelling." The wandering blacksmith felt another hit. This was more than just a challenge. It would take all his skills to master such an item. 

"Finally." This was all Walker received in response.
