Walker was surprised to hear that the elder had already received a chain quest. It was more than the kings had received from his knowledge. "We ca to not only help with the yellow acidic slis but also find a way to bring the elves and the dwarves together. That is the goal of the Genesis alliance. The demi-humans, humans, and elves are already preparing to build a united capital city."
Walker looked at the elder who didn't even flinch as he spoke, "There have been monsters discovered who are slowly gaining their sentient species status and we are helping them as well. One being the goblins who have once in their history almost reached this point. They are coming back from near extinction and will be a sentient race alongside the grey haired spiders that have pushed past their monster instincts."
The elder finally reacted slightly. His face was stiff but the chanical arms twitch a little and he stopped working on the wire. Before he could even speak Walker continued since he knew that holding back was not the best move to make. Grey had warned him not to anger the elder and if Walker held back he knew that it would anger anyone.
"The elves are very close with natural mana and that ans they are very close to elental spirits as well. Since this is the case, it is an offense to them that dwarves craft weapons out of elental spirits which traps them in the weapons. One of which Gil wields." Walker took a deep breath and Gil showed the bow off properly. Walker could feel the fluctuation of mana as the elder used so form of appraisal skill.
"I believe that there is a way to properly work with the elental spirits to create a sentient weapon. The elves can speak to them and dwarves can not. The dwarves have the forging skill and knowledge but elves do not. There is a partnership just waiting to be ford. However, I know that you will need proof to convince your people and the elves. So, I can speak to the spirits on your behalf and we can see what happens."
The elder released a breath through clenched teeth. "You believe the elves can actually speak to elental spirits? And you say you can speak to them? I want proof of this first." The elder stood and walked to a large cabinet made of tal and runes against the wall. "I have a few s[irits here. One of which is an awakened high earth spirit I plan to use to create a weapon out of when I am about to perish."
Walker held himself strong while the dwarf elder said this. He knew that they would burn their souls to create a masterpiece in this way before they were going to die. Yet, knowing this didn't make hearing it any easier. Walker detested the loss of life for anything. He would rather see every monster gain intelligence than need to fight them. But for so, it would always be impossible.
"This cage is rune forged and can trap spirits of any elent. Let's see what it has to say." The elder uncovered a small cage that housed what looked to be a small fairy made out of clay.
"Hello, my na is Walker. I ca to speak to you about a proposition." Walker was soft toned and slow with his words. He knew that the mana fluctuating from him would be hard to understand. In contrast, however, the earth elental spirit began to move erratically in the cage. It was shocked that soone was actually speaking to it. Never in its' existence had soone spoken to it properly.
"You talk! You talk! How! Elf? No, God? No, Human! Wait! Water spirit with you!" The flurry of exclamations and mana ca at Walker in mass. The earth elental spirit had been alone whispering to the other dormant elental spirits for a while. This was like a dream co true.
"Yes, I have a water elental spirit with . I was entrusted with it in the forest elf city and plan to bring it back to my kingdom and ho. If it wishes to awaken other spirits there I will allow it and if it wishes to stay with it can. But for now, it will sleep a while longer." Walker pulled the dormant water elental spirit from his cloak. He had kept it close and safe the entire ti and no one was the wiser but the party.
The earth elental spirit cald down and looked at Walker carefully. "Proposition? Take away? I don't want to be trapped." The mana was sohow sad. The feeling in the entire room beca heavy with slow earth elental mana.
"What did you just do? It has never caused sothing like this before." The elder was showing so surprise at this. He had never seen an elental spirit act this way in his life.
"It doesn't want to be trapped. It asked about my proposition for it and if it can leave. However, "Walker sent the mana to the earth elental spirit while speaking to the elder, "I hope that you two can work together to craft a weapon. Spirit forging has always been forceful. My question is, what would happen if you two worked together to create sothing? The strength of an earth elental spirit to call upon the earth elental mana to assist the forger. And the spirit forger who would normally need to burn their soul to create sothing so magnificent?"
Walker let the two think for a mont before adding this, "Also, what would it be like if a spirit created a weapon or armor? Would they have control over it to so degree since they helped shape it? I doubt they would be forcefully attached to it like the older spirit forged weapons." Walker pushed even more leaving the earth elental spirit and the elder staring at each other silently.
