"So, you need to begin preparing for a larger adventure in to the elemental planes?"
It was the entire party Walker managed to heather with. He wanted to let them know his thoughts and why he believed he should be venturing out in to the elemental planes again.
The way that Gil spoke up first was more like he was expecting this from Walker sooner than later. Then again he was also looking around as if there was more unspoken than what Walker realized.
"We knew you would want to but we figured we would have another two or three months before everything went that way." The long sigh from Remey made Walker's brows furrow. The way she said it, thisit, this was a guaranteed event.
"We can leave earlier, I have already finished training for the most part with everyone who came with me. Now I just need to make Walker help me train my resistances a little more since I am owed a training session from my quests." Su just looked at Walker as if he was trying to run away from her and she was going to make sure that he didn't.
"Alma will be angry with me that I am agreeing to go traveling so soon, but that's what it is. We needed to go and explore those elemental kings, true sages, and see if we can find more origin race members too. How else will we keep building the world and Genesis up?" There was a small laugh in Gil's voice as he spoke. He was looking at everyone like he was telling a joke.
"Why do you look surprised? Did you think we were just oblivious to what would happen later?" Remey scoffed looking at Walker.
"Bother was bothered by his own thoughts again. He didn't realize we were prepared to go on the very same adventure to handle the same issues as he considers." Now it was Onyx's turn to laugh a little, but Walker could clearly sense that he was not making fun of him but just lightly teasing.
"You won't go alone!" The soft growl came after Midnight had spoken now too. It appeared Walker had no choice in who would go where or do what. Just flat out that he had missed the fact that the entire party was prepared to go to the elemental planes for more exploration at any time now.
"You all will just leave your positions to go to the elemental planes with me? How will everyone work without you though?" It was Walker's turn to be somewhat amazed but also a little lost. All his thinking has brought him insight in time mana, space mana, even life and death manas. But when it comes to person to person, well, he might miss some things here and there.
"I already trained several teachers to work with everyone in need of education for guards, defending, and even escorting. It's my specialty now. I also have spoken with the resistance training staff I worked with. Everyone and everything I do is set up with subordinates who can work without me at any and all times. Even if there is an emergency, they won't need me." Su spoke with complete facts and confidence.
"I have an experimental job. There are seven other master alchemists who can work where I am working. The old man can handle all the ordering around and anyone else who comes to be a bother. He likes yelling at people while he collects more alchemy this and that knowledge." Remey was brushing the thought that she wouldn't be able to travel right away. She was ready and that was that.
Midnight and Onyx knew that everyone they had worked with and guided were fine to be left alone. In Midnight's case, they had mentors who would teach them. The dragon hatchlings ready to be out in Genesis and learn were safe and if they were ever in danger… Well angry parents were elder dragons or close to elder dragons. Now one was stupid enough to anger them.
For Onyx, he has worked hard to ensure that some of the first to hatch serpents who began following him were prepared. Were strong enough to defend their fledgling race. They would be able to lead as he would while also protecting the land that they had taken as their homeland. Neither Onyx or anyone else could say that they were not prepared.
In the case of Gil, it was simple. "I know you think I should stay here and keep working with the elves, but many of them are on the path or have already awakened the ancient elf bloodline. The high elves are back, their techniques are being put back together. To grasp the high elven archery techniques I need to see what happened to the elves who went to the elemental planes and try to learn something there. I bet ruins of the elves who went there might still be around too, or entirely different elf races. That knowledge is valuable to Genesis and the elves. So, you are stuck with me."
The smirk that Gil offered Walker was nothing new. It was Gil through and through. Not to mention he was definitely planning to just follow Walker if he tried to leave alone anyways. Gil was sneaky sometimes and was closer to Walker than even Walker realized at times. They had all become family not just because of the battles they fought but the time they all took to learn and grow together.
If they had been told this was how things would be at first then they would have all doubted it. Even Walker himself would have said that there was not a chance they would all be close enough to tell what the other was thinking at time. Regardless, here they were, planning a trip to the deeper elemental planes.
"It sounds like I am the last to be prepared then." Walker looked at everyone who seemed to smirk or laugh a little at this. "I have a chain quest that now tells me I need to build a society unified beyond the world and elemental planes. They have to come together and some races will never be able to come to the world as they are. I will spread the knowledge for them to make resistance potions, training, and whatever else they need to make the pilgrimage. That's my plan."
"That means I will have plenty of potions to make while we wander about. I bet you can even find me a few good new herbs to bring back." Remey was already playing with alchemy flames in her hands waiting to see if she would have a chance to try out new potions.
"You better not use everything to make potions. What if I can use some of those plants to make better arrows. I am making new high elf archery techniques now, I'll need them too."
"If you two start arguing over herbs and plants I will take them and save them all for new shields and armor. My elemental armors can always be improved." Su poked either of them on the side before she giggled a little. The way Su was acting clearly showed her excitement to break away from the usual training and teaching she had been doing as of late.
"Yes, sister and I will explore new food."
Both Onyx and Midnight were sold on finding the new food that they wished to use. If they could find even better snacks to bring in to Genesis then they would be able to secure a solid supply. When Walker was not looking he knew that they snacked way more than what he even knew. Not that he could ever tell them no, they were still growing too!
"I would like to come as well. I don't want to be left behind." Alice's timid voice broke the atmosphere and Walker smiled a little wider. "Wwho else will act as a healer if you don't come? I know you have plenty of mana storing equipment now. You will be able to make light dance even in the dark elemental plane."
"Then I will tell the others that they need to worry about the healer's education while I am away." Alice's arrival and sudden exit made everyone laugh again. This time they knew it was because their group was so much livelier and grew so much since their first adventure. This time, they would be away for longer. They would see stranger things. They would reach new levels of understanding of what was actually beyond the elemental planes as well.
Who wouldn't look at it as the most exciting adventure they had gone on? It wasn't to fight a villain, but to discover more about everything they knew right now.
