Master Of None

While Walker ad Alice kept up their game. Fleur had been absorbing a small amount of natural energy that came from the eternal orb shifting. This was enough for her to be able to float again, but like Onyx, she had developed a habit of resting on Walker's shoulder. It was the best spot for her to watch what was going on and learn things. She also had developed her own joy being around Alice since she had challenged the eternal orb that she and Walker had created. It was fun and Fleur wanted to keep it up in the future. 

"I think we should call it here. I don't think we should push this too far. But I want to see you show off some of your skills too." Walker was sure that Alice had more up her sleeve than when he left for the mountains. He knew that she had been practicing enough to create some blades from light. It may drain a huge amount of mana compared to what she had been using her songs for. But it was also a great way for her to defend herself when they traveled to Genesis city. 

"Writing." Alice fished out a small journal from her pocket. The pages were all full of small songs she had written. 

"This looks like a bard book. Do you have the musical inspiration skill?" Walker had heard of this skill before from traveling minstrels and bards. They were able to take words and add meaning to them when sung. It was a skill only music related systems learned and since Alice was a songstress it was natural that she may have the skill. Yet, actually using it for so many pages of songs was beyond what Walker could even imagine. 

The wide smile that Alice had shown that she had in fact crafted every song here. "Healing, defense, replenishing, attacking, and more." Her soft voice was enough to entrance Walker with every word. However, he was also focused on the songs she showed while she spoke her words. 

"You thought of all of that? I can't believe you have just been training in your free time. You need to sleep and rest too. If you have been up all night training and writing then you will be too tired when we leave for Genesis." The worry was clear on Walker's face but he also knew that Alice wouldn't push herself this far if she didn't have her own goals to reach. 

"I won't fall behind." That was Alices' desire. She wanted to stand with Walker and his party. She had heard and seen some of the amazing things they could do. It had only strengthened her own desire to get stronger and stand taller. Thus, she had pushed herself. 

"The amount of mana to use all of these must be high. I can't believe you have songs that you can't even be sung yet. This one, song of shields, it must use all of your mana twice over. And this one, song of fear, it scares away weak monster from the way it's worded but you would need to sing constantly to make the effect stay." All the songs had a large drain on someone's mana. But compared to the healing songs, Alice could sing them when she was stronger. "You might just be able to shake the world with your songs one day." This was not an understatement. The world would recognize Alice and stories would be written. 

This new information about Alice changed Walker's view yet again. She had so much potential and he wouldn't need to worry over her while they travels. Of course, he would still worry since he had strong feelings for her, but that was nothing compared to how he would worry if she had not developed her skills. "I can't wait until the others see you use some of these songs. They won't know what to say." There was a slightly mischievous tone in his voice before he caught the smell of food. "It smells like it's time to dinner. Let's head there and show off what we found to eat today."

Walker and Alice showed off the cotton grapes and the giant blueberry to everyone while explaining the new stall in the market from the forest elf city. The conversation was lively and Walker made another point to thank the wandering blacksmith and Midnight for their help the other day. After they had eaten, Su volunteered to walk with Alice home to the cathedral. She seemed to want to speak to her privately so Walker did not intervene and instead set his sights on the wandering blacksmith. 

"I wanted to touch base with you again about armor. I know you have seen the use of the eternal orb, but I had some more ideas.' Walker explained his experiments with the eternal orb and how the armor would work with it. He also decided that the eternal orb would best stay in the form of a cape when the armor was on. This way the appearance he would have would be all that much more when he walked in to the dragon village. It would also show that he was someone a little more important when they traveled to Genesis and met the other kingdoms. 

When everything came together he would be able to better represent the image of a hero along with the party. Overall, it would inspire more people to stand tall and be a better version of themselves. Walker chose to believe that he could be a role model for many along with the rest of the party. He had still not realized that he was already one for many children in multiple kingdoms. 

His conversation went on for longer than he expected and there were even a few blueprints drawn out. The wandering blacksmith seemed to be overflowing with ideas and was ready to rush off and start forging. The only thing that stopped him was the fact that Midnight was already asleep and couldn't join him. But that didn't stop him completely. He rushed away and began to prepare the materials would use.
