"So an abyssal serpent egg can be dormant for years on years if they can not gather proper light elemental mana to hatch and grow?

" The queen had listened to what Walker knew and had an attendant write this down. The elves didn't have any ravines near their forest and had never encountered such a rare monster before.

None had asked any question about Onyx before due to their hesitation in conversing. But now that more information had been dangled in front of them there was no way that any elf let alone the queen, would not want to know everything possible.

I did notice the control over the shadows and the fact that he was able to draw in the light element. That is similar to the wind gliding serpent. It is green and lives high in the trees. To travel it waits for a gust of wind then leaps up in the air and glides to another tree. It has the ability to feed on the wind elemental mana.

" The queen had seen these serpents her entire life and easily drawn the line to connect Onyx to them.

"Brother, do you believe they are my distant cousins?

" This made them all laugh a little.

"That could be the case. I honestly have no idea where either of your species had begun. If that is the case then it is pretty amazing that the change between elemental affinities could occur like this..

" Walker pondered the many years that would be needed to make it to such a difference.

"But wouldn't Onyx perish if he isn't able to eat enough light elemental mana? So why would they live in deep abysses or ravines?

" Alma was curious about this fact. It made no sense to her.

"I would bet that it has to do with predators. They may be able to hide in their shadows and manipulate a shadow to a degree but I believe those skills were learned to specifically hide away. They also absorb light from any source so it is not required for them to be in direct sunlight, plus consume light elemental mana crystals. I think I read once that light elemental mana crystals actually grow better in the dark because there is a place light and only light can influence them naturally.

"

"Yes, it is usually a surprise, but the darkness elemental mana crystals will grow right next to them.

" Alma had also learned this fact and wanted to join in a little more as well.

The queen having gained the knowledge and seen that her attendant recorded it looked at Onyx.

"Congratulations on your growth spurt, and also for being the first abyssal serpent within the forest elf city. Now I must leave for some ceremonies to prepare for the full moon tonight. I recommend getting some rest if you are going to meet and assist in the potion refining later.

"

"Oh, no. I was too focused on the things happening here that I forgot about the full moon. Walker, I must leave as well. The lunar priestess needs my assistance for her healing preparations.

" Alma followed the queen out leaving Walker with the mages who had all be examining the effects of the various skills used today.

After some time with the mages, Walker was able to separate himself from their theories and questions. It had been a great challenge since the spell swords had also been trying to ask him to hello make them a crystal sword. Some even requested he train with them to help them gain a new understanding of the specific element.

"Brother do you have any more light mana crystals? I used the majority of my stored mana to grow and my appetite is still strong.

" Walker could only wonder just how much Onyx was going to be eating from now on. He was going to have to invest in more and more light elemental mana crystals as time went on.

"I have a good idea. I have a lot of the crystals, but why don't we head over to a shop that sells them and find a mid tier or a high tier light elemental mana crystals so that it lasts longer?

"

"I would like that.

" With Onyx's approval, the trio headed off towards the market.

Walker!

" Su's shout caught their attention as they went by the same shop with hanging rune fabrics. Su was holding a large parcel which was the order they had placed. She had already beaten Walker to one place.

"Hello, I thought you would have long beaten me through everything.

" Walker stored away the fabrics so that Su wouldn't be troubled by carrying them.

"I was about to get to the shops when I ran in to Calen. She showed me to the best places to sit and eat here in the city and we spent some time bonding. She has a lot of energy but she is very kind. I hope that she is able to slow down and enjoy the roses more.

" Su spoke like she had spent a little time babysitting as well. But her face was full of joy so Walker made no comment.

"So, when are you going to explain Onyx reverting back to his adorable baby state?

" Su had seen this but didn't want to force them to explain in the very first instant they meet back up.

"Well, he shed his skin and had a growth spurt. It was after witnessing a mastery skill so I was terrified he had been hurt in some way. But I was wrong and he was actually a massive young adult abyssal serpent. He can even give us a ride on his back.

"

"Brother, I am comfortable here. Please let me rest. I am very tired.

" Onyx tried to be sneaky and pretend to be tired. But Walker knew better. Onyx had already asked for more food so he was not going to sleep anytime soon.
