Chapter 425: Spirit Chatter

The entire trip back to the crystal shop Bree would randomly interject with a fact or story about Bart and her working on crystals together. "The last time I needed to come down here I found out that he had slammed his hand with his hammer. He was too embarrassed to go to the surface for a healer so he just closed the shop door and pretended he was taking a vacation."

"Hey Bree? Can I ask why you wanted us to help with the mole?" Su thought that she better ask sooner than later since they were fairly alone while climbing the steps back to the top. 

"Well, you two are guests and heroes. I would much rather ask you two than put another request for the enforcers who are already spread thin. I also know that the spirits like you, and to me, that means more than you know." Su was able to easily accept this response. It made sense and there was no reason to doubt it. 

Bree may have gone about getting their help in a strange way but it was just another lesson for Walker and Su at the end of the day. "Speaking of spirits, this water spirit has been trying to talk to the full water spirit and me for a long time now. Can you translate?" Walker's curiosity had finally reached its peak. He couldn't wait anymore and needed to know what the little pulses of mana were saying.

"Didn't I hear that you could learn any skills? You should just learn to speak to spirits too." Bree said it like it was an easy thing to do. Walker knew that he could learn skills through attempts, but where would he start with translating mana pulses in to words?

"Can you give me a place to start? I don't know what the mana the water spirit gives off means. If I could have a good point to focus on I might be able to slowly make progress." Walker was almost ready to just tell her that it didn't work that way, but to be honest he didn't understand the rhyme or reason behind the system either. He had gained skills from small things without trying but also gained skills through hard work and guidance. 

"You've already sensed mana in front of me. Do the same thing and ask some questions. Just keep practicing as we walk. You will start catching on, it's how I had to learn." Bree was brutal. Walker was hoping for tricks or some secret ways to understand, but instead got told just to figure it out himself. 

Su gave him a knowing look and focused her attention on the dark elemental spirit that was moving around her. It looked to be playing a little tag game by touching her armor then rushing to get to another side of her body before she poked it. Every time Su managed to poke it before it got across her armor a few little mana pulses bounced out. Walker was sure this was laughter.

Seeing that Su was doing just fine without even having a skill Walker had a better feeling. With his confidence rising he looked at the elemental water spirit that had been following Bree's words. It was giving Walker some curious looks while the water that made up its little body flowed around. 

"Hello there. Are you enjoying the adventure so far?" Walker wasn't sure what to ask but was greeted with a few small pulses of mana. The spirit appeared to be happy to finally be getting more attention. 

While the water elemental spirit twirled through the air it had started to draw the attention of the other spirits who have been chasing each other or looking at parts of the wall. The light elemental spirit had been looking at every single crystal on the wall that was lighting the stairs. Walker could only guess it was inspecting the elemental mana within.

The fire and the wind elemental wind spirit used their own pulses of mana to speak to the water elemental spirit. The three were soon sending mana pules after mana pulse at Walker. He was feeling a little overwhelmed by the sudden bombardment since he was doing his best to also understand and sense the mana they were giving off,

The only strange thing to him after some minutes of this was that the earth elemental spirit was nowhere to be seen. "Bree, don't you have an earth elemental spirit too?" Walker was curious since he wanted to try and speak to all of them if possible.

"Yes, it is wandering around the walls right now. I'm surprised it hasn't played any tricks on us yet. It's mischievous and likes to turn little spots of the steps in to sand." Bree thought this to be a hysterical quirk of the earth elemental spirit. She even encouraged it often. 

Su and Walker both looked at the steps carefully and made sure that they wouldn't fall prey to the earth elemental spirits tricks. Luckily Walker realized that he could sense its' presence and that it was staying on the ceili g and sending little bits of dust down to fall on Bree's shoulders for fun. Bree was ignoring it since she knew that was the only way it wouldn't try anything else.

Walker suddenly felt a little cold on his neck and turned to find the water spirit rushing away. When he touched his neck he found his hair had a little frost on it. "So I should have been wary of you and not the earth spirit. You are a sneaky little thing." Walker used a little bit of his grand elemental manipulation to send a small breeze of frost at the spirit. 

The wind and the water spirit touched their elemental bodies together and send an equal breeze of frosty wind. They both looked to be giggling as they sent out to a chorus of mana pulses.
