"Hmm, a being like you is the only one that will not suffer upon binding with myself. It is a sad mont since I do not intend to leave this world just yet. I desire to gain my own being before I am to ascend to the darkness elental plane..." Shade had been in deep contemplation while looking at Mordant.
This was the only being that was able to properly handle the insane amount of darkness elental mana that Shade had. Even then, it would co at a high price for Mordant since he was still not able to handle a grand elental spirit that had incredibly dense elental mana stored over the course of thousands of years more than Mordant had lived.
"If you do so, I will be considered one of the strongest darkness dragons to exist. But It would be betraying the dark spirit that has been around for most of my life. Even I have not bonded properly with it yet, but I desire to." the dark spirit heard Mordant and moved out of the shadows. It was focused on him with all the energy it had.
"That can be redied. It is just a high dark spirit. I will welco it to join ." Shade had not absorbed another elental spirit before. It was sothing that only the lower elental spirits did to beco higher in the ranking of elental spirits. Not many at his level would consider this unless it was required.
"That wouldn't change him…would it?" Walker was surprised to see Mordant letting down the tough walls that made him a royal dragon. Seeing the emotion in Mordant's body language was eye opening.
"No. we would beco a perfect fusion. Only those that fuse to beco stronger lose mories and reset to what they change in to. I and this one would remain the sa but with shared mories. If it has truly been with you for life, then I will know you better than any other upon this plane." Shade didn't want to lose mories either. He had valuable knowledge from existing for so long.
"Out of all the elental spirits I have t and read about, I have not seen any that have controlled their body like Shade. Mordant, you have my support in this if you feel more comfortable with it." Walker knew that Mordant needed a little encouragent. As the nature royal dragon, it made sense that Walker would be the one offering this encouragent.
Everyone had calm expressions while they watched Mordant consider these things. However, it appeared that it was not up to Mordant at all. The dark spirit moved in front of Shade and spoke one word. "Yes."
"Then that is what we shall do. Unlike the nature spirit there, we will be the sa but slightly different." The tendrils of shadow that reached out for the dark spirit were soft and not at all dangerous. They made everyone feel that the darkness elental mana was often misconstrued as more dangerous than it really was.
Not many people realized that the decaying effect from darkness elental mana was beneficial. Nature needed it to break down things and help welco new life. The shadows were why people could see the light. It was part of nature and was not always causing harm. It was a very positive mana that could create a bright future for many. The dark elves knew this well but they had not been around to share this knowledge as widely as other elves had their own mana.
Watching this happen was sothing that many felt was a gift from the world. The fusion of mana in to a deeper and purer form was sothing many had to spend generations doing. Mordant was proof of this since it was a dragon's highest goal.
Even Walker and Fleur felt the natural mana react to such a process happening in front of them. What surprised them the most was that when the shape of Shade began to reform, it was even more defined. There were more characteristics showing that he had taken on a slightly draconic form to copy the things that the dark spirit had seen its entire ti with Mordant.
"How you have grown…I have seen you for many years. The shadows you reached out for were our ho. The place you hid, the place you welcod, and the place we saw. I am impressed. You never shunned and now that I have lived that ti…I am still Shade. The world nad so. But I will be your family now. Just as that nature spirit is also his family."
Shade still spoke in the sa cool manner. However, there was a swirling smoke like shadow that appeared around him as he reached out toward Mordant. The connection between them blossod as Mordant felt the familiar mana of the darkness spirit he had known for years. He had not realized that they had already begun forming a bond just by gaining strength together for so long.
The feeling of darkness elental runes appearing along his scales was welco. As if they had always waited to be there. As if this was part of his body that he had been waiting to gain. For a darkness dragon, he was now able to say he had reached the highest understanding of darkness elental mana that any darkness dragon had ever reached. He would be a figure that every darkness dragon could look to with honor in their hearts.
"How do you feel?" Walker took a mont to look and sense the mana around Mordant. He looked the sa as before. His dark scales hid the marks that had ford due to the bond with a grand elental spirit.
"I think I feel complete. It had been a long ti since I noticed my friend looking at from the shadows." Mordant took a deep breath. "We just need the light grand spirit, correct?" There was a serious and calm look that made Walker feel that Mordant had greatly improved his determination. Walker could tell that Mordant would be an unshakable ally in the future. Even if he was not In Genesis, Mordant would surely co to assist things.
"I'm here." The sweet and pure voice that Walker would be able to hear through any ans of chaos or crowd appeared from behind him. Alice had rushed dragging the high priest with her.
"Alice?" Walker was not sure why she had co at such a pace. However, when he sensed the dense light elental mana coming from around her, he knew what had happened. "So you are the one that Horizon found." Everyone that knew Alice smiled knowing that it made a lot of sense.
"I did! She is more than any other here. The perfect being to mix with my light elental mana. Much better than the light elves I spent so much ti around. I thought one would be born that matched my mana. But she was here the whole ti!" Horizon coaxed the other grand spirits towards him. He was very energetic.
What Walker still didn't understand was why Horizon was so open and bright. Most high light elental spirits rose to float above others to remain higher. But Horizon was open and bright, becoming a focus with his energy and thod of movent. It was a very different form of light that he brought.
"We can talk more later, alright?" Alice was giving an expectant look to Walker. She clearly had a lot she wanted to say and after Walker said this, she nodded slowly. Her mind was full of many things she wanted his help to understand. Horizon had already muddled her thoughts.
"Let's enter the tower…" Rey felt a pulling force that made her want to go inside the tower that she had not trained much in. even the grand spirits were reacting to the slowly gathering mana.
"Co on Fleur, let's go." Walker felt that the mana around them was being given by all the elental spirits called by the world. It was a happening that would cent Genesis as the center of mana and the best place to study it in the world. Sothing that only natural mana could possibly do.
The unbalanced mana that the world had due to everything that had happened with grand elental spirits ascending seed mirrored within the elental floors. They were still dense with mana but had uneven dispersions of it.
When each of the spirits and their partners reached the floor that matched their mana, they stopped. They felt that they were exactly where they were ant to be. The only one still climbing the tower was Walker. He and Fleur felt that they were going higher than they had before. Above the top floor which waited for the person who could be considered the grand mage of the mage tower to take a rightful place.
