"You know, if you tell Remey that there are master herbalists in the city she will steal them away for the alchemy guild. She wants two master alchemists as part of the governing council.

" Walker shared some of Remey's plans with Alma and Bree as they walked through the front door of the mansion. He knew that planting the seed now could go a long way when it came to Remey recruiting two masters.

"Master alchemist Trish told us that she would be looking to have some here to help grow herbs with her. That was why we increased the number to twenty. Five of them have already volunteered to remain in the city for a year.

" It was very forward thinking of Trish and Alma for this to be arranged. It was also very clear that the elves were investing in Genesis just as heavily as the humans. The dwarves were the only ones hiding their investments y sending building materials and golems to build.

"That should be perfect then. I have a feeling that in the next week we will see the true growth of the city before the summit.

" Walker reached the dining room and Su decided to make herself busy with tea. Alice would have gone with Su because she knew just how great the tea blends were and wanted to try to see what they were made of. However, she was more interested to see the spirit mark on Walkers' back. She partly wanted to understand more about elemental spirits so she herself could find a partner.

"I can't say it was pleasant when this mark formed but it gave me the title of young sage.

" Walker dropped the chest plate on the table and removed the cloaks and robes he work beneath it. In all honesty, his gear would be a strange combination. But those who knew him also knew of his ability to fight with magic and close combat weapons. Therefore, it made a lot of sense for him to have a mix of armor in such a way. Not that it looked poor considering it had all been designed for him.

"Young sage? No, that's not a title you just get. It has to come with years of studying and understanding natural mana.

" Bree felt that there was no possible way and that Walker somehow misunderstood this in his young age.

"It's young sage. I promise. Fleur and I are very closely connected. We can both manipulate the natural mana around us. I'm pretty sure that is what helped the young sage title take root. I also have the fact I can use all elemental mana. How else do you think IO would have been able to help make the eternal orb? It has all elemental manas inside it. Pure forms at that.

" Walker was a little annoyed to be doubted but knew he was saying some radical things and put himself back in place with a deep breath.

When the spirit mark became visible he could hear Bree gasp. She had never seen such a thing in her life and only found it in very old records. The systems that would allow something like this to happen were rare and would not show up for years after. The elemental spirits were frozen in place. They could feel the pressure on them from the high density of natural mana that dwelled within the spirit mark. Walker still wondered why Fleur wouldn't rest in it but put it all on the fact that she liked to copy Onyx and rest on his shoulders.

"When I first started to learn about my system I was brought to the archives. Then I was able to find the spirit mark records. I have one for every single elemental spirit that I am blessed to be bonded with. That mark that you have is unique to a nature spirit and only a nature spirit. I hope you understand that you could one day have a world spirit bonded with you. It is extremely important that you understand that.

" Bree spoke in a way that gave every single weight above what it would normally have.

"Fleur is still learning a few things. She had not really spoken and seems that she is taking in a lot of knowledge. As you can see, she had already learned to find a favorite spot to rest just like Onyx. She was able to help with awakening an earth spirit today. It turned out to be a stone spirit. Besides these you have met Zephyr, Remey has an alchemy fire spirit with her, and roaming around the garden there should be an ice hound spirit.

" All of this was a lot to take in for Bree. She took a step and sat down in a chair to fully grasp this wondrous world of rare and unique elemental spirits.

"Since this has been cleared up and Bree has a lot to think about, I believe we can spend some time speaking about other things.

" Alma would ask more questions later but for now, wanted to move on so she could let herself adjust to what these things meant for the elven people.

"Do you want to hear the stories about true spirit forging? We can help you when it comes to the dwarven kings arriving. I have a feeling they will be bringing their master blacksmiths to take over the forge building. It was built just for them after all. It's also why you see so many forges and blacksmith shops set up.

" Gil knew well why there were so many of these along the market.

"If you also tell me the details of your reforging of the bow in your hands.

" Alma wanted all the information that Gil had left out of his letters. She had accepted that he wanted to surprise her but she was also hungry to hear it all properly now from his own lips.

"Alright. I have Remey's new tea blend. It has some fire elemental herbs in it to keep everyone warm.

" Su got everyone to sit and listen as Gil started his portion of the stories.
