The mont that Gil let the word beautiful escape him there were giggles on the wind. The form of the wind spirit changed and beca more human like. It was the size of an average human baby but had wings and could be seen as older in appearance. It had flowing green hair and was wrapped in green ribbon that Walker could tell was pure win elental mana.
The wings were made of swirling wind and its face was the color of snow in the breeze. It had well defined features, unlike the wind spirit Walker had seen before. Its voice was also clear to him more so than the other spirits. The giggles sounded like they were from any other person in the room and not a spirit using mana to speak.
The spirit grabbed the ribbons that wrapped it and curtsied which surprised Walker, "hello, my na is grand wind spirit Zephyr. I have slept for quite so ti after being placed within that bow. Can you please tell which of you is the one who has held my hand recently?" Gil was standing stunned still. He knew that the wind spirit was speaking to him but he wasn't sure why he could understand it.
"I-i...My na is Gil...I'm so glad you're alright." He was taken by the emotions he had pent up. He could only imagine how terrible it must have been being trapped within the bow unable to do what this spirit wanted. Especially with how powerful it was now. It wasn't just so spirit it was a nad grand spirit.

'Spirit mark- passive
The spirit mark skill cos from the bonds spirits make with a living creature. This skill can be learned by any and all living creatures. The spirits that choose to leave a mark on the user will be able to communicate no matter what with the one it has marked. A spirit can only mark one living being in its existence. This required the will of the user and the spirit to form. The spirit mark serves as a bond to share mana with the spirit and living creature and without the spirit mark skill the bond is only superficial.'
Walker read the skill they had all gained and noticed that Su and Gil had a different marking on their arms manifesting. Su had what appeared to be a slightly glowing brown stone and Gil had a green gust of wind marking. Rey was looking at her arm and poking it softly. "Walker, do you have that weird feeling that there's sothing on your arm but you can't see it? Is this that spirit mark skill?" Rey was confused but before Walker could speak up The wind Spirit did.
"Yes it is. The spirit that bonds with you will cause the mark to fully manifest. Oh wait...you can't hear can you? My partner can explain it to you. I have been trying to listen for a while. I might have missed so things but I have been waiting to see all of you since I felt a hand around the bow." Zephyr was very happy sounding when it ca to this. It sounded like a family mber who had been receiving letters finally saw them in real person.
"Wait! You could hear us the entire ti? I thought you were dormant in the bow?" Gil was shocked and understandably embarrassed since Zepher could have heard every single word he said.
"Does that an you already know each of us?" Walker was the only other one that could understand Zephyr due to his spirit speech skills.
"Yes, of course I do, Walker. That adorable dragon is Midnight. The littler serpent is Onyx. But I think I rember hearing he can beco larger now. That is Su and the high spirit is unnad. And Rey likes to heal with potions and punch things. She is funny." Zephyr really had been listening and it was clear that she had been careful to rember as much as possible.
"Well? What did she say? Su and I already know she pointed us out. So does she know who we are? Is she going to stay around?" Rey was clueless to what Zephyr had said but the question she posed floated in the air while everyone including Gil, looked at her.
"Why would I leave? I finally get to be part of a family. Spirits usually live with each other to combine and grow. But we are rarely able to bond like this. I want to see see how high a hero title holder can fly." Zephyr exaggerated these words by flying to the ceiling and back to Gil. "And I will remain by your side. But you should probably know that this bow is different now. It won't be sapping your mana like a vampire. Sorry for that…"
"You don't need to apologize. I'm glad you are finally free to do what you want. And I can have Walker use his skill on the bow to tell what's changed. I'm sure you can too but maybe he will find sothing you might not realize. He tends to do that." Gil was embarrassed but excited. He wanted to rush to the forest elf city and show them the dwarves had learned a lesson and that he had helped to free a spirit forged trapped spirit.
"I rember. He has a very good appraisal skill. Just don't use it on . Spirits need to stay mysterious you know!" There was a slight bit of childish pitch in Zephyrs' voice that reminded Walker of the high spirits attitude. They were more alike than he realized.
