There was an uncertain buzz in the air. So of the radiant light elves and so of the dark wing race mbers were curious but wary. That was all fair though since they ca from opposing elental planes. They would not easily be able to just start holding hands and be best friends.
There was also the fact that not every single one of them could be right next to the other to speak. The dark mana around the dark wing race was a little too potent for so of the radiant light elves. Yes, they were in the light territory, however, that did not an that they were ready or resistant enough to handle their affinity’s opposing mana.
The dark wing race had even fewer of their mbers able to show themselves and they had to stay right next to Walker to make sure that they did not take a brunt of light mana from the light elental spirit tree. Therefore there was so struggle.
Conversation was happening though.
One of the dark wing’s race was asking about the true light sage. It was clear that all of them had been able to et the true dark sage in so form so they wanted to know if it was the sa for the radiant light elves and the true light sage. This was sothing that might seem odd since Walker was sure many knew of the ways that the elental planes worked. Where it was normal though, was when he considered the fact that the dark wing race might be curious if the true sages were all the sa.
The dark wing race wandered the edges of the dark elental planes and seen the boundaries. So boundaries are very thin. aning that they can actually look in to the start of an elental plane. They have the chance of seeing another true sage in so shape or form.
Another was asking about the need for light mana and if the radiant light elves could survive just by absorbing more light mana. Surprisingly, the radiant light elves said no. that they needed the mana but it could and was better off coming from the plants they ate and grew. The dark wing race mber responded with the sa, however, that they often hunted monsters with potent dark affinity and only focused on eating once for longer stretches of ti due to their nomadic nature.
These topics were not just small pieces but aspects of their culture that ca up every day for them. The dark wing race might be leading the conversations but they were giving just as much as they were getting. The few dark elves who had co regardless of the light territory to see the radiant light elves were easily speaking with the dark wing race and even had their attention even more closely.
The dark wing race had listened about how the radiant light elves had once been elves of the world but left and developed within the light elental plane. It was the sa as the angels who left and beca the dark wing race. A similarity that made them both seem to accept the conversations and goals much better.
Sothing that surprised Walker even more was when the leader of the dark wing race here today spoke out to the radiant light elf who had spoken first as well. "Your race is interesting. You are focused on light and you being here causes more shadows to fall with the right mana you radiate. We see that the light and dark manas are mixing around all of us more easily. Does it harm you?"
It was a fair question. Walker was sure that within the light elental plane that the radiant light elves did not cast shadows. That would be odd for them since they had no dark mana connected to, around them, or anywhere really within the light elental plane to form a shadow.
While the dark wing race lived in all darkness so to them, a shadow was just denser darkness and not the mixing of dark mana and light mana within a place. aning that their and the world’s shadows were very different. Hence why the dark wing race mber had told Walker that his shadow was a mix of manas rather than just a simple patch of darkness.
All of this was starting an interesting conversation about what they had both seen and learned so far. The radiant light elves had assud that the shadows being cast were fine since the weak dark mana in it was deterred by the buff skills they had on them and used. The dark wing race also spoke of the buff skill protecting them and that they were not blinded by the light even though their eyes should be exceptionally sensitive to it as a mana and preferred different forms of darkness.
Both seed to understand that the way the world balanced wasn’t in a grand controlling form. The world mixed and balanced in peace naturally. Their knowing look as they both understood there was not a delicate system of guardians maintaining each area. Nor was there any true sage keeping control and passing information to an elental king was heavy.
To them it would sound like the world had less protection. Yet, they also saw those with hero titles. Skill beyond them. The ability to use multiple manas.
The world might not be controlled the sa way that an elental plane was, but it was protected.
"I can’t say I am a true sage in the sa way as the true sage sir the elental planes. I do spend a lot of ti focusing on the flow of mana and the natural aspects of that. I have connections and quests that go along with the world’s will."
A mont after this, Walker had an idea. "When all of you leave, I hope you will guide and bring along the representatives from Genesis so that they may learn and experience your hos as well. You will just have to ensure they make it ho safely."
He saw so of the radiant light elves wonder. They seed to ntally agree that they were the ones sent here in trust and could make the decision. Especially since it sounds like this was sothing that would happen and it was much better that their race accepted a traveler. That would allow them to keep learning and advancing.
"I would be sending an elder light dragon to explore your ho and learn." Rise made a quiet appearance. She seemingly had walked here calmly without alerting anyone. She had even kept her light mana closely held back so that the radiant light elves didn’t notice her and kept speaking. A little sneaky but a wise choice.
"I will be sending so of the younger serpents. They wish to accept more of their darkness affinity and can learn it well from you while traveling the shadows." Onyx spoke loudly and clearly. The dark wing race listened and were clearly prepared for all of it since they hoped they would be able to keep learning.
By now, the radiant light elves and the dark wing race mbers had started to feel it.
It was a limit. Not one put upon them by any greater will, but a limit of their own bodies. They didn’t need to leave in a rush or return ho this instant. They know though, that they wouldn’t be able to stay here too much longer. They could only handle and resist other manas for so long before it beca detrintal to their health permanently.
"We agree. We can show them a lot. They can move with us. We will find another bridge. We will visit again." The dark wing race mbers outside of the shadows all agreed and said the sa things. They wished to see the world as much as they could so we’re fine with leaving and coming back as long as they could track down the bridges to the elental planes.
"Our people would gladly provide opportunity for yours to be able to learn and understand sothing unknown to you. I believe there will be great benefits that co to both of us." The radiant light elves responded as well, not wishing to be left behind.
Making sure this was agreed on with Walker’s return was all the better since now Genesis was truly beginning to beco a hub of all races in the greater elental planes and the world. This step was a small one compared to how many races may one day visit, but it was a major step since it was so of the first chances at this form of growth.
The small smile on Walker’s face didn’t leave as conversations began again. This ti there was even more excitent and energy. Everything he was glad to be part of.
