Walker had not seen the system notifying him of his skill or of how wearing the earrings had influenced it. Instead he was completely entranced by the flow of mana around him. The mana in the earth was colder and dark slowly taking mana from the ice as it lted. The air was doing the opposite, it was pushing man in to the ice making it stronger and colder. The heat from the sun was a strange mix of light and fire mana that were lting and forcing the ice to release more mana back to the air and in to the earth. The shadows of the mansion protected the ice and kept the light away also enhancing the coldness. These small events would have been overlooked normally. Now that he could see how they worked and what mana did to play a part it was as if he had seen color for the first ti.
Focusing on himself he could see that the mana in his body wasn't just one form of mana but many different kinds. The elents were being filtered through if h his body and used to do many different things. If he wanted he was able to pull in mana of a certain elent from outside his body to increase the amount of said elent. He directed his senses to Gil who he could feel was drawing his bow. It wasn't that Gil had the wind elental mana in his body but instead his body attracted it allowing him to use it. This realization that affinities weren't mana that resides in a persons body but the mana they could best attract changes his perspective.
He could feel light mana being pulled towards his hand and realized that even though onyx was resting in tattoo form he still drew mana towards him. This was unique since onyx ate light elent but the fact that onyx naturally attracted it even when not actively consuming it was I retesting. Walker deceived to pull out one of the light crystals curious to what they felt like.
The crystal to him felt like pressure. There was an intense amount of light elent mana stuck inside the crystal. It wanted to push out and expand but couldn't. Since crystals of any elent took a long ti to form it must an that they change as they absorb more of an elent. If this was true would they be able to harness this and form elental crystals themselves? Walker had beco completely consud by his thoughts and the feelings of the things around him. It was as if he had opened his eyes for the first ti to see a new world.
'Daily quest complete:

Before he could push any farther he started to notice the tightness in his body. He hadn't realized he had been sitting for nearly two and a half hours just taking in the new feelings. He did not have enough ti to explore this new world! But just as he was goi got push through the pin to keep looking in to it all more his senses told him he needed to get up.
He could hear three sets of footsteps approaching the front of the mansion. It would seem they had guests. Walker tried to stand up but found his joints fighting him. Sitting for so long was not his smartest move. Hobbling along he reached the front of the mansion. Having a good idea of who was coming to visit he ntally nudged onyx to co out of his tattoo form to et the three.
Laurence, Riley, and Elise were standing near the door awaiting a response form their knock. "And here I thought you three were too busy raising a little army of corpse spiders to visit for dinner." At the greeting the three turned to walker. Elise was the first to make a move to greet him showing more interest in onyx who had just begun to slither up to walkers shoulder.
"Hello little onyx we ca to visit!" Elise was in heaven seeing the adorable black serpent. Walker wondered if she would still call him little onyx when onyx had grown big enough to swallow a human whole.
"Again I apologize for Elise, she's a unique individual. It's good to see you well, we've stored the eggs in a special pouch that inhibits hatching. It's better to preform contracts and hatching in a safe place." This was a common knowledge to tars but walker hadn't heard of a special item made to inhibit hatching. He didn't need to possess one as he wasn't a tar and his inventory acted in the sa way. However more knowledge was always welco, he never knew what he would need to know for a quest.
"I've got to say your tactics at the auction were very ingenious. Purposefully standing and buying eggs individually and to give the insinuation as if to buy for your guild. It tricked all of them there, before they knew it the last seven had been bought truly under the na of the guild. I may be borrowing it in the future." Walker had not lied in his complint, it had been a great plan and well worth rembering.
"If we'd known better it was like this one who sold them prepared them just for a tar. Luck must really have been shining on us." Laurence let free a small smile with his joke, seeing that the poker face from the auction house was no longer present he decided it was ti to go inside.
"Well I'm not going to let you freeze out here, you should all co inside. We won't go through this door though, well enter through the kitchen." A devilish smile appeared. While the three didn't know why they needed to enter through the kitchen, they did not question it.
The five moved towards the entrance to the back of the mansion. Having a kitchen entrance was definitely one major benefit of a large house, especially if a certain dragon like to take naps by the oven.
