Master Of None

The sight of Midnight and Walker collapsing was nearly enough to cause everyones' hearts to stop. But Su was there and managed to catch the two who fell toward each other. She was quick enough to slowly lower them to the ground. The scene they had witnessed was a lot more than they felt it to be. 

Zephyr was nearly shaking when she watched Walker breathe on the golden flames that Midnight had created. It was her reaction to the strength the sigh of life skill had. It was not a battle skill or a skill that would cause any additional effects to a person. Instead, it was a skill that breathed natural mana in to the surroundings and pushed for healing and growth. Any and all spirits could feel the use of such a skill using natural mana. It was the reason that the alchemy's fire spirit and earth spirit didn't dare come out of their spirit mark and dwelling.

"How! That's not. No. not right. I need. This is history!" Adair was looking much less majestic and powerful now. She was grasping at the air for something that was not there. Gil saw this and after glancing at Walker and Midnight who he had confirmed were sleeping now, he looked about the carved cave. 

There were surprisingly many places for items to be displayed. It was best to call this a magnificent museum of sorts due to the older weapons, books, and even paintings on the walls. When he narrowed in on an open book with a blank page he ran and grabbed it with a quill next to it. "Miss Adair, I believe you are looking for this." 

"Yes! It is history. I must record it for the next generation." She grasped the book and began to furiously write. This was the first time anything so ludicrous had happened and she would be the one to copy and send the story to every single village before the royal court convened to see the young of the villages. 

In the midst of the writing, there was a sudden pause and Adair rushed over. The flames became the bond but they already had a bond. It became sealed much more strongly. Will they share conversation or will they gain each other's skills? What would be the cause? Little guardian, what do you feel?" 

The eyes that landed on Su nearly made her shudder. Adair was extremely focused on what was happening and what she wanted to know. There was no room for lies or even for hesitation. "Warmth. I feel warmth. There is more there. It's like she and Walker are more open now. I can feel more. I don't know what more really, but more." 

The feelings that Su had were more complicated. She had a sixth sense before about Midnight that she had not truly explored. All she knew was that the more she learned and trained with Midnight the stronger she felt about their familial bond. But now, it was different. She could feel more than just a bond with Midnight. It was a deep connection that seemed to make her blood sing. Not only this but she could also feel Walker in the same way and every movement of Onyx was echoing through to her. 

'The user and Midnight have fully pledged an equal oath. The user will share many new aspects of their soul with the True dragon champion Midnight. The bond shall exist beyond life and death as per the pledge created.'

Walker struggled to open his eyes. He could feel the spirit mark on his back burning slightly as it pulled more natural mana in to him. He stayed laying on the cold stone ground processing everything that had happened. Most of his actions had been without his conscious action but he knew they were what he had wished to do. 

The system had left many things for him but he felt that the greatest changes would be in Midnight. But the more he pushed in to the incredibly strong bond that he felt the less he knew. There was a mystery to it that he just couldn't crack, meaning that he would need to sit and try to understand it with Midnight for some time. 

The sigh of life skill was a little bit of a mystery as to what it truly did to those around. However, the natural mana in the room was radically higher even though most of it had been taken in by the golden flames during the pledge. Although he could see that everyone around him looked energetic but surprisingly calm. There was also the fact that some small green weeds had sprouted at the corners of the stone cave. He knew they had not been there before. 

The groan from Midnight drew attention to the pair. When her eyes opened Walker and Midnight both experienced a moment of loss. They could feel what each other felt and what the other was thinking much more clearly than the equal blood contract they already had. 

Midnight began to stretch and growl slightly. Her body felt the same but the additional emotions and small thoughts were putting her off. By the time she stood up and shook her head she knew that Walker was feeling worried for her. She nudged him with her nose in her own worry making Walker sit up. No one interrupted them while they looked in to each others' eyes. 

"I guess you are a true dragon champion now. Who knew there was a final step like that." Repeating the same gesture they did when they formed their blood contract, the pair touched their foreheads together. For them, the world was at peace. The moment was enough to express everything they could say or do. 

"I can't believe you did it. A human and a dragon. You're the same as a royal dragon now. You'll have to learn." Adair spoke as soon as Walker and Midnight had separated and reaffirmed their familial bond.
