Master Of None

Walker had made it through a significant amount of time since Midnight. He was sure that Su and Midnight were resting peacefully in front of him. But the sudden change in the mana alerted him to the changes occurring in Su's body. 

Su had broken out in to a cold sweat and there was an odd flow to her mana. She was starting to toss and turn but not wake at all. Walker did the only thing he knew how to do which was use his healing skills and grab water to put a cool cloth on her forehead. He was sure that this was the result of the ritual that she and Midnight had performed. 

The pain that she was experiencing while unconscious was from Midnight's blood changing her in some way. But Walker had no idea what way this was. However, he had a very strong sensitivity to mana now. He could feel the natural mana within Su reacting and spreading through her body. Since this was the case, Walker tried to pull the ambient natural mana and found that Su's body pulled that in as well. 

Time passed in this way slower than Walker had ever felt before. He remained calm while he burned his own mana to control natural mana. What he didn't realize was that Midnight was also absorbing some natural mana to replace what she was using in her won body. 

Both of them were using their own mana and the natural mana that they would not be able to sense that dwelled within them at all times. For anyone else, this would be the same as approaching the unspeakable act of burning ones' soul. Walker could sense that this was because the gap was very far between dragon and human. Su's body was being forced to change in an unnatural way and the natural mana was working to make it possible. 

By the time Su returned to a peaceful resting state, Walker had used nearly all of his mana and was looking in worse shape than Su. Midnight had also begun to stir slightly. Neither of the three had any idea how much time had passed. 

The next thing that caught Walker's attention was a noise outside. He looked down and out the window to the training field where he saw that Remey, Alice, and Onyx were training together. Alice was using her songs to make shields around her and defend from Remey's punches which were being held back. She had switched to a fire and a light elemental knuckle which produces a blinding white flame. 

Onyx was acting as the buffer between these two and absorbed as much light elemental mana he could. But what was shocking to Walker was when Onyx would interrupt them with a shadow spike or a light spike. He had been improving his own skills to the point that he could perfectly aim with them now. It was a wonder how Onyx had figured out that he could use his own shadow to make a shadow spike and send it at an enemy. Walker felt he had been missing some important facts of darkness elemental magic. 

The soft growl that echoed through the room came before a louder yawn. Walker spun around to see Midnight trying to lift herself up with a slight struggle. She was slow but with Walker's help, she was able to stand and perfectly show him the same look she always had when she was very hungry. Walker broke in an instant and pulled snacks from his storage. Midnight gleefully began to eat and regain her normal lively attribute. But for some reason, Walker knew she was different. Her eyes had lost a bot of their wildness and been replaced with a more human like look. 

While Midnight ate, Su began to stir aw well. The difference though, was that she looked as if she was sick. Her eyes fluttered open and she grasped her head then her throat. Walker rushed to give her water which was greedily gulped down. 

"Thank you. I felt like my lungs and throat were on fire. All I could dream about was being exposed to everything all at once. One moment I was frozen. Then I was on fire. Then I was in a sea of darkness before being blinded by light. On point I was underground buried alive, then falling forever. It was… not as scary as it should be. It was… enlightening." Su had realized that she felt a lot more than normal. 

The elemental mana around her felt friendly. It was as if she could feel it moving. Walker aw the way she was processing these things and was able to catch on to this. "Your affinities must have mirrored Midnights' you probably have some affinity for all elemental mana now. I bet you are also more resistant to them." This was a good thing. 

Once Walker had said it a look of understanding grew in Su's eyes. But what also showed were slightly sharper teeth that weren't quite human anymore but still very similar. Su investigated her system and felt her skin to find that nothing had changed much. However, when she got to her throat she found something had changed that she did not understand until she found her system also different. 

"Walker…have you ever heard of a human that can breathe fire?" Walker's jaw nearly hit the floor as Su said these unsteady words. She was feeling the parts of her throat right below her jaw. At the same point, he had read that a dragon had special organs that assisted in them being able to breathe fire and other elemental breath attacks. 

Midnight jumped up having finished her snack and moved right next to Su. She stood in front of her and held a proud stance. The two stared in to each other's eyes for a moment and Su looked at Walker. "Midnight wants to teach me to breath fire." Su started laughing until she looked at Midnight again. She was the one whose jaw dropped this time.
