"Wait, but I was going to help the healers prepare the next bundles of healing supplies. It needs to get done in advance since we used so many when we were passing through the river snapper bends." Su had attempted to argue with Mordant.
However, before she realized it, she had been pulled in to the shadows and appeared to be in the forge. "Don't worry sister. I was taken the very sa way from the patrol I was going to go on to stretch out and get fresh air." Onyx felt the very sa as Su. He had other things he wanted to do but had been captured by Mordant.
"There are so many warriors and healers that can do those things. You two are here to get stronger before you help us deal with a wyvern. Or maybe a hundred wyverns. Have you forgotten your duty to uphold those promises?" Mordant was as sneaky as ever. He played right on their promises to deal with the greatest threat the dragonkin faced.
Su felt that she had no choice but also saw that Walker, Gil, and Rey were there. Even Midnight had been brought down from where she was sleeping to the forge. "If everyone is training together then I should be part of it. I can't let everyone work without being here." She saw that Gil was going to actively attempt to escape but Rise was there to ensure that everyone worked together.
"Walker, if you ever beco as pushy as the other royal dragons I will teach you a lesson." Rey's threats seed to carry the weight of her fist but she didn't punch out. Instead, she looked at the fires of the forge and wondered how her alchemy fire would react when there was light or dark elental mana being mixed in. it was sothing she had not needed to do when creating potions.
"If you are thinking that this would be a good chance to experint with flas, I agree. I have seen you create a potion and I am very familiar with alchemy flas." Mordant was also there to learn sothing. But he had been interested in the potions that Rey made for so ti.
"Normally I can make the affinity potions by manipulating the materials I use. They change their affinity and burn off the parts that can't be used. Sotis I can make one cauldron in to two different potions based on the byproducts. But if I add mana to my flas I am not sure I will be able to manipulate them the sa way as alchemy fire."
This seed to be the current conclusion of Rey's theory, she could control, alchemy fire which was a purer version of fire elental mana. It did not branch off by incorporating any mana other than her very own mana.
The question of whether Rey could even add other elental mana to the alchemy fire was also in the air. Walker could hear the conversation slightly as Midnight woke herself up. Rise was very encouraging since she had managed to learn how to bait Midnight through seeing her eating habits. There was also the fact that Rise saw Midnight as a hatchling and naturally leaned toward treating her as one. Which was fair, Midnight only acted mature because that was what she had learned. She was still very young.
The environnt in the forge was already ho to a few of the fire elental spirits. But they sensed a grand fire elental spirit instantly. Therefore, a few started to move around Rey waiting to see what she would do. It was the attraction of even stronger fire elental mana.
"Then let's get on with this. I will bring my alchemy fire and walker can make it fake or light infused. But don't get angry at if it doesn't work." Feeling that things would get interesting, Rey began to spark up flas the sa way she would when she worked on a potion. But instead of directing them around a cauldron, she let the fire elental spirits manipulate them toward the forge furnaces.
The two forges next to each other were ant for blacksmiths to work on two things at once, but this was also a perfect use for them. Walker was able to manipulate both at the sa ti. He could also feel that there was more or less fire elental mana in one or the other.
Onyx took a place in between the two forges and so did Su. she was a little unhappy still that she had abandoned the healers in their preparations. However, she saw that it was an ideal chance to ditate as Walker did between opposing elental manas. She didn't keep her armor on and fully exposed herself to the elental manas. The thin training garnts were too basic and made for working out instead of defensive training. They worked perfectly for this.
"So you want to work on guiding a few different elental manas while I wait for the blacksmiths to gather a few different materials?" Gil was ready to manipulate what he could since he could actively pull the elental mana from any elental crystals. From there Walker would have more mana to work with.
"Yes, take the dark and light elental crystals from over there and start to let them bleed their mana out in the air. Alice will gather the light elental mana with her song and Rise's help. Then I will work with Mordant to condense the darkness elental mana. It will work out pretty well since Rise and Mordant have the best elental control of light and darkness mana than anyone else here."
Mordant and Rise looked at each other with a little confusion. "Oh? Are the two royal dragons of light and dark elental mana unable to help experint with the things they want made? Would the product be so poor if you helped?" Walker's mocking made the two freeze. Mordant was usually calm and collected and Rise wanted to remain over everyone. Yet, at the mont they were also put on the spot and did not like it one bit. Especially since they had been cooperating for the first ti in a while without issue.
"Let's start then," Walker smirked as he watched the two remain silent. He felt like he had won already. The flas that Midnight had woken up to were the brilliant reds that ca from alchemy fire. She saw that Rey was fully focused on bonding with the fire elental spirits that were helping guide the alchemy fire.
Seeing that this was the process, Midnight stood slowly and did not interrupt things. She instead moved toward the place where the flas were being split. She knew that Walker could manipulate the flas when it ca to her golden dragon flas.
"Midnight, if you are going to add to the fires use the light elental fla breath and the darkness elental fla breath on either forge. We are going to make darkness elental alchemy flas first to see if it will help make a mana gem better."
The order was enough to make Midnight cruises about how this had all happened. In a daze, she had just gone along when dragged to the forge. But after waking up fully she was lost. Everyone was here though and she could only be excited that the entire team was training together. They were family and it was better to do things together than apart.
The mana that there was darkness elental mana. Mordant directed so towards Midnight, helping her more easily form a strong decaying fla. She was being guided by an expert to make a stronger black fla influenced by darkness elental mana. It was teachings that most darkness dragons would never have because they usually were left to learn themselves.
The first breath of black flas that Midnight released caused a drastic reaction with the alchemy fire. It would normally just change the flas of the entire forge but the alchemy flas resisted it. They were stronger fire elental mana that would usually stop the decaying of herbs because the alchemy fire had to make a better potion. So coming up against the mana that often caused the alchemy flas to purify an herb was tough.
Walker tried his best to pull the two together but found that the more he forced it the worse things got. That was until he began to add the natural mana. The fire elental mana began to calm down the temperature of the forge rise slightly.
The darkness elental mana also stopped reacting in such a violent manner. It caused a strange balance where the decaying flas seed to remain lower in the forge and the alchemy flas ran along the top of the forge. Everyone could only wonder what the result would be when sothing was heated doing so.
