Master Of None

"That is a risk I think we will need to take while there. More information on what others may think of Midnight could be extremely important." Su agreed on the idea that the party needed to gather more information. The problem was that every piece they found seemed to only be a tiny scrap. They were always behind in the information gathering game. 

"There's no point in stressing out I guess, we should just wait for the king to get here and proceed. Then we can move toward the dwarven kingdom and see how their city is doing. I can't say I'm excited to have to go underground though." Walker could only see the huge risks of going underground since there was less safety and the chance of cave collapse. 

"You should relax about that at least. The dwarves are known for their immense strength in creating tunnels and caves. They wouldn't allow even a single tunnel to collapse let alone a city." Su only had a basic knowledge of these things but it was enough for her to try and ease Walker's major worries. 

"I know, but I know even less about the dwarves than the elves and even less about dragons than the dwarves. I just feel less and less prepared. I need to train more." Walker had started to contemplate the different ways he could continue to enhance his strength. He immediately thought of the fact that he had just created a hugely powerful fusion magic skills that he only had one other skill that worked with.

"I think I am going to try and get Remey's combo skill and learn more blade and spear based skills. Then I can try to make attack patterns that could put me on the front line too." Walker could only think of this as a way for him to make sure that whatever would happen he could be right by Midnight's side with his own power.

"That sounds like a good plan. But first, you are going to sleep and get some proper rest." Su said this in a factual manner. 

"I'm fine to keep going…" He only made it through half of his sentence before Su's smiling face told him that there was no arguing with her. He had been defeated before he had even started the battle and was now being pushed towards the tree house they were staying in. 

To Walker's surprise, Midnight and Onyx were already there asleep as well. It was clear that playing with the unicorns had tired them out completely. Feeling a little better that he wasn't the only one needing rest Walker decided to gove in and sleep. Before he knew what had happened he was waking up to the sun rising the next day. 

"Gil, you're back. I thought you would be out hunting for the materials you needed for your quiver?" Walker saw that Gil was gearing up to head out again, but had not expected him to even be there at all.

"I'm trying not to follow your example and miss all my sleep. But I already got my materials so I guess I didn't need to worry. The other elf archers were a lot of help." Gil had found that the elf archers knew the ins and outs of the forest even more than he had imagined them to. 

"Hey! I still slept." Walker was about to argue that he was resting but Gil just shook his head. 

"Come on, I know Su made yu. We could lose you to exhaustion any day if we don't drag you from an experiment to rest. You have even meditated all night outside." Gil wasn't letting it go, but Walker saw that he had a few scratches on his arms and legs and was able to rebuttal now.

"And you may have rested but you haven't taken a healing potion or had healing magic for those scrapes? What did you fall out of a tree while trying to follow the archers?" Surprisingly Gil got flustered and Walker found that he was correct. Gil had fallen out of a tree. 

Walker used his mid heal skill on Gil and saw the scratches fade away almost instantly. "Of all the things to do you are trying to rush through the trees like an elf." 

"Whatever. You're still no better. But t least I will have an awesome new quiver to carry my own arrows without having to ask you all the time. It will make me much more independent. Su told me that you have some new skills too and that Remey is off learning a crazy amount of herbs to make a skill? What's that about?"

Walker talked with Gil and filled him in on the things he had missed while he was out hunting. Walker was sure not to forget to tell him about the mana transferring skills that Alma had used. Gil of course became a lot more fidgety to Walker's amusement. "Anyways I will head out and start to make my quiver. I will be gone the whole day, but Su said she was going to stop and pick up the things you guys ordered while you went to help out the mages again. See you later." 

Walker realized that bringing up Alma had made Gil rush away which was even more hysterical. Walker may not have admitted much about his feelings, but Gil was even more touchy. "Hey Onyx, Midnight. Do you two want to come with me to the mages' training area? They have some special runes and that gather the elements. I figure you can take advantage and work on that growth spurt of yours while Midnight naps in the center. The center has all the elements equally so you can grow pretty well." 

Midnight and Onyx had both been pretending to still be asleep but Walker had easily seen through them with his connection to them. If they wanted to fool him they would need to try even harder.
