Chaotic manas had been smothered by the high amount of natural mana that Fleur and Walker had directed in to the bridge. This seemed to revitalize it since there should have been manas flowing back anyways.
The space mana was always resilient, it could be warmed, damaged, and separated, but space was an all encompassing aspect of the world. Meaning that the moment the pressure had been forced away, the space had been able to snap back together and repair itself.
This allowed Walker to feel the flow of dark mana that had been helped back entirety by the chaotic manas also flowing in to the dark elemental plane. He also felt a presence the moment that the bridge calmed and his adjustment using life, death, and natural mana together had enhanced it.
The bridge was stronger than it had been before and chaotic mana shouldn't be able to damage it again in the same way. This quest using these manas had been more about protecting the bridges when they would be under greater stress than anything.
Chaotic manas breaking in to the world were dangerous. Even if they were in small amounts they could corrupt something and cause unique berserk monsters or incredibly dangerous plants to exist. When in high amounts, well, Walker had seen the dangers.
He had felt it and seen it all the more clearly now that he had gazed in to what felt like an endless expanse of chaotic manas without solid space or solid anything. Even time might not be the same as what he believes out in that chaotic place between manas.
"That was a problem." The black splotch of condensed dark mana forming an almost slime like golem was the arrival of the true dark sage. Walker had somewhat expected that he would have a visitor before he actually got far from the bridge he had just repaired and the chaotic manas he had repressed.
"The damage was minimal. The manas are calm. You ensured that." There was a slight glimmer in the tone, Walker couldn't tell how he knew it since the blob he saw was not humanoid, but he knew the true dark sage was smiling.
"I just used natural mana to smother the chaotic mana. It is the best way to allow it to calm and become orderly. The life and death mana just helped add to the bridge. I know some should have reached the dark elemental plane as well so I hope that is not an issue."
He did worry that he might have sent manas that imbalanced the dark elemental plane there though the bridge. Yes, it was a risk for a good reason, but some people or the environment there could have been harmed. If that was the case he would need to live with it and do his best to assist in repairing any damage done.
"It improved the plane. The bridge is much more attached. We can travel through this bridge if we desire." This was a shocking statement since that meant it was stable enough to allow high density mana through. Mana that the true sages needed since they were so connected to the elemental planes as true sages that their bodies were one and the same as the manas.
"What you have in your hand. That does not belong." The dark mana grew a little more and the dark blob used as a golem to communicate rose in to a shadowy humanoid figure. It didn't move but the true dark sage was clearly making it known that he was ready to handle this item.
"I saw this form while I looked out in to the chaos. I used spatial mana to catch it and bring it from there. It would have been destroyed. I will keep it safe for now. When the time is right I will bring it to a place it can grow."
The aversion Walker felt even thinking of letting this go was intense. So much so that he was tensing his muscles and preparing to fight if need be.
"So you have the same instincts. The others I have met are the same. They desire to protect spatial seeds like that. Little things that might contain potential for new life and new potentials." The golem made of dark mana dissolved and the true dark sage was gone.
Walker was still on his way to the next bridge but he had enough thought to hesitate now. He didn't realize how much he had attached himself to this small thing. This spatial seed of condensed light mana with life mana hiding within as well.
He could sense his desire to support the potential within. Not protect the life or what might form. It was the fact that what might come to be was impossible to tell.
That moment he had glimpsed time mana and seen the potential future of land due to what he'd done by dragging in that smaller dark wind elemental plane to add to the world, Walker could value potential much more.
Yet this, bubble of manas that couldn't even be added to the world as it was so undeveloped held potential he couldn't even guess at. This thought and the feelings along with it ran through his mind like adrenaline. If he were to explain it to anyone he could say it was just like being drunk for the first time at a party. Or maybe more closely to figuring out your class or even learning a new skill for the first time.
It was indescribable the feeling he had knowing he could care for it and see this unknown potential bloom.
This is a core aspect of a future light elemental plane. There is a high chance that it can developed in to a proper light element to a plane that can be absorbed in to a greater light elemental plane.
It can be consumed by powerful light affinity beings, especially spirits.
It can be used to create a stand alone elemental plane if cared for and given the proper attention. It may even grow in to a dual or other form of elemental plane. That depends on the plane crafter nurturing it.
This seed can easily be destroyed and burst in to chaotic light and life mana breaking space or damaging orderly manas.
There is also a chance it can be guided to become an origin egg. Only if cared for by an extremely advanced member of the origin race, a grand elder.
This light spatial seed can only absorb purer manas and can not easily grow in a short time. It requires high amounts of attention for any form it grows in to…"
This was a lot for Walker to take in. He had no idea why he'd not appraised it right when he saw it. But that could have been his split attention distracting him. Regardless of any of that, he saw something he found quite interesting.
"Plane crafter." The class called plane crafter was an entirely unknown profession Walker felt the average person would be unable to obtain. Most likely someone with space mana affinity would need to pursue this class and even then it might be considered impossible.
Crafting elemental planes wasn't even something he would consider being able to do. Not to mention all the forms this spatial seed could take now that he understood the immense versatility and potential it contained.
Yet, there were also things he had no idea about whatsoever. An origin egg?
He couldn't imagine if this meant an origin being was born from an egg or if something else would be born. Was origin part of his race because it was the uniting of all manas or ability to manipulate them? Or was that a signifying factor in the name?
There was a lot that Walker needed to learn and understand, but to do that he would have to ask an older and wiser origin being. Something that was easier said than done. If he were to venture in to the edges of the elemental planes to explore he might have the chance to learn more, then again, he might need to grow much more to even get half an answer here.
The flow of mana increasing in the distance took Walker's attention back. He had bridges to enhance. So for now, he would keep the spatial seed with light and life mana close to him and protect it to the best of his ability. Once he understood things better he could look in to nurturing it or getting it to someone who had the skills to do so properly.
He knew he wouldn't let it be consumed by anything even the light elemental plane. He wanted it to grow differently. He felt that in his heart as the right path to take.
