Master Of None

"If you can really accomplish a potion above a high potion, then I think you will solidify the alchemy guild in the first day of its' establishment." Walker wasn't holding back at all in this evaluation. He truly believed that the news of a potion above a high tier potion would put immense faith in an alchemy guild. "It would also pout any practicing alchemists out of a job because everyone would want potions from the guild instead of private alchemists." 

Remey had thought of that and was glad to hear Walker supporting her. She was about to reply with her future plans for how she would make it and the potential ingredients she would use, but the system decided to give her a heart attack. 

"Gah!" Remey jumped slightly and looked like she was about ti pass out. The drastic change in her mannerisms also caused the group to become curious and worried. 

"What just happened. The fire elemental crystals shouldn't be hot. Right?" Gil was the most worried since he had touched the crystals often and had never been burned. 

"No! But I can get a fire skill! Alchemic fire! Even the old man doesn't have that skill. It's not a normal alchemist skill. It only shows up once in a blue moon." Remey was nearly shivering now. 

"Remey, we don't know what alchemic fire is. Is it just the fire you use to make potions?" Su was confused as well but was still remaining calm while trying to get Remey to fully explain what was going on. 

"No, not at all. It is so much better. It is like a fish in water. Alchemic fire is akin to breathing in relation to alchemy. It makes the potion making process much smoother and easier. If I were to compete making a potion against the old man while I used alchemic fire my potion could be better with less experience." Remey was practically shouting at this point because she was so full of emotion. 

"The old man said that his mother had the skill and that was one reason she was able to literally rule over the alchemy building as the best alchemist. He still hopes he will get the skill too but it's just too rare." This was an interesting fact. If the old master alchemists' mother had received the skill why had he not? It must have some sort of hidden requirement like titles do for a master alchemist system to receive the skill. 

"So, you're saying that if you can forge a spirit mark with a fire spirit the system will give you the alchemic fire skill? Will you be able to use it right away?" Gil thought it sounded too good to be true. It had worked out that he had been able to form a bond with Zephyr and Su had bonded with a high earth spirit. However, Su and the earth spirit were very similar in personality. Gil and Zephyr had been together for some time. It might not be so easy for Remey to bond with a fire spirit. 

"Well, I don't know about the spirit. But we can try ever dormant spirit here and then go back to the elves and try there. Worst case I send mail to Trish and Elise to see how that goes. But the real challenge will be the alchemic fire. I will have to learn to control the fire completely instead of just alter it by adding or removing fuel. It is a much different process." 

"Oh, I completely overlooked that the process would be different. You would be like me a little bit and need to manipulate the alchemic fire." Walker drew the conclusion that Remey would be doing something similar to what a mage would do when working on their spells. 

"Exactly, and I am a fighter so it will be a little harder for me. The only good part is that I will have plenty of mana potions to learn. Maybe I will be able to find a way to add it to one of my attacks. Imagine if my punches had fire on them!" This made them all flinch except for Midnight who had come up to inspect each of the dormant spirits with Onyx. 

"Sister says that you can train with her to get flaming punches. She can handle the heat." Onyx paused and Midnight puffed her chest and extended her neck. "Sister also says she has gifts for everyone." all of them took turned grabbing the ice jade pendants from around her neck and putting them on. The cool feeling instantly relieved the natural heat of the forge. 

"Thank you. These are great. Now I know how the dwarves are able to handle the heat so well." Gil had felt that he was melting at times and was the most thankful. 

Su was already hugging Midnight lovingly. She was very proud of her for thinking of everyone. It just reinforced the fact that not every monster in the world was mean and out to eat humans. Or even goes after them. However, it also brought a few questions about the dragon races that Walker had always had. But they would be for another time. He couldn't find enough detailed information about ancient dragons just yet. They were too reclusive. 

"You know, I have the best family." Walker just spoke openly after a moment and saw Midnight's eyes shine. She looked like she had just been handed the world. 

"I really have to say. I never thought that the heroes would be...like this. One moment I'm full of wonder at a new forging path and the next I'm grossed out by all the sweetness. Next, I imagine you are going to say or do something that will shock me again." The elder held his head in his hands trying to make sure his heart would keep up with everything changing in the last few days. 

"You mean how Zephyr is already starting to awaken the wind spirit behind you?" Walker caught it in a quick glance. Everyone had become too distracted.
