2055 2055. Guidance In Mana

The decision to follow what the echidna had said was not hard. These were trusted people that had helped multiple times. The fact that most of the echidna had left again though, was what Walker focused on. That was why he had allowed himself to split from the meeting and speak with the natural alchemist again. "I was wondering, what have you all been doing?" He knew that it would be related to handling the corruption. The chaotic manas were wreaking havoc on the world right now. It was not going away either. "Exactly what you think we have been. I was creating new potions that would help assist the usage of natural mana. However, we mostly received quests from the will of the world to journey to various other places. Other continents." She looked carefully at Walker. "Well, I knew that there might be other continents other than the genesis alliance and the Sigil continent. Makes sense. The world is bigger than even I can explore in such a short time." It was really not a surprise at all to Walker. he would have easily guessed that the world was ten times bigger than what he knew. This was all assuming that the span of the elemental planes was something he could explore at all. He had no idea how large they were and what things would be like if he were to go outside of the world to explore them. "You should know though, besides coming here to teach the natural mana affinity potion created by myself and the quest from the world... I am to teach you. How to unlock the real way of the world. You need to so that you can potentially balance the upcoming risks of battle." This made Walker freeze in his thoughts. He was very glad that he was not with everyone else. They had accepted that he had asked to split off for a private conversation since he was the most focused on natural mana. Walker had an affinity for it. He also had Fleur who was slumbering to gather more natural mana. However, he often wondered if she would go off on her own coming toward this battle. Not because he felt she would abandon him, but because Fleur was deeply connected to the world. She might even become a world spirit and embody more of the world's will as a whole. That could take her elsewhere rather than with the party. "The real way of the world? I have a few ideas. Things that everyone felt were not entirely correct." whether it showed or not, Walker was feeling uneasy. He had long felt that there was more to the system that the world created for everyone. They were individual systems, each focused on the things that someone could do. Gil had been an archer who became an arcane archer. Yes, it was well above what others could do, but what if he wanted to become something else? The world somehow just knew what was best for everyone? Many people got systems that did not align with what they needed in life. That was one reason that people suffered. There were also those that didn't receive a system because they had not done the right things to activate it. Yet, that had been removed. People had been given systems even though they had not received them before their cut off birthday. Due to this, Walker and many others had understood what it meant for the world to be interrupted in its flow. They had been unable to awaken their systems because the world had not had the time to be able to grant the systems as it desired. This brought to more questions though. Was this all the world was stopped from doing? Wasn't there more to it? Were the echidna been using systems in the same way? They had all acted in ways that were aside from what they might be confined in to with a system specifically for their positions. The evidence of this were the echidna warriors. They had battle skills and other things related to their warrior status. However, when walker and the others had been in their village, the echidna had been able to do even more. They had been able to help around the village building, repairing, and various other tasks not related to being a warrior. Some even used skills that walker had which he was surprised by. "I see that you already have ideas. While I am forbidden from explicitly showing you, I can guide you. But can you immerse yourself in natural mana so much so that you feel lost within it? Can you hide yourself within the mana so that all that is left is one eye witnessing the true path of mana. Can you look beyond just the mana you control and allow yourself to open yourself to the true depths of mana as a whole?" "You are talking about true mana. Aren't you? Not just natural mana, but you want me to see where natural mana ends and true man forms." This was not really a question. Walker had caught on to the hints being dropped. While he was unsure why the world limited the natural alchemist from sharing more information, he somewhat felt he knew. If he were to learn how others did it, he would not find his own way to interpret all these manas coming together. He would also be blinded by what he was told he should feel. What he was told he should see. Not what he did witness as the flow around him. Therefore, he had to comprehend it all himself from his own perspective. That way, he could be able to grasp the real flow that should happen. Awaken the real use of the systems that the world created. While Walker's mind began to race, the natural alchemist left him to think. She had done as her quest had asked and begun Walker on the path necessary. Now she had an alchemical Brawler to meet with. One that was already waiting for her. "Please tell the rest of your family that he will need to be moved while traveling for the next few days. He is entering an extremely deep form of meditation that will leave him vulnerable." The natural alchemist saw that Remey mentally communicated with Onyx. That left her with a much calmer feeling since it was a little risky for Walker to delve so deeply in to mana when he was not raised doing so as the echidna were. "So, you came here to show off what you can make, right? I knew you would use those formulas from the affinity potions. But I managed to improve them. I even made a potion that is considered a grand potion. Above all other potions for fire affinity boosting." Remey's pride showed clearly on her face and in her tone of voice. Seeing pride in alchemy, the natural alchemist smiled widely. As an echidna who communed with nature itself, alchemy came more naturally than most things. Feeling that Remey had advanced significantly and stepped within her own doman of alchemy, she was also proud. "You have grown a lot, but why are you not using your flames to create potions without tools? Can your methods not match your ability yet? You may be unable to create the lowest of the natural mana affinity potions unless you can create potions without cauldrons or other tools." "That is because she has been focusing on her new path. She is a dominator dragon through and through. She is also the only equal I have." Ignus had listened to this from the side. He had no reason to dwell on anything else other than the potential changes in alchemy that he had been working on with Remey. He was much more attached than what he showed. "I can sense the changes. She is not a being that should live here. Cut off from the elemental plane of fire. I can feel the purity of mana. That is why I question her. As you can also use flames of the same quality. Even though you lack the understanding of alchemy required, you could create flames for her to use." It was odd seeing someone push back against Ignus. Only Remey felt that she and Walker could actively do so without risking him exploding in a fit of annoyance or anger. "If you claim that I am limiting her by not pushing her. You are wrong. I was witness to the creation of that grand potion. I will be witness to anything beyond that as well." "Then you should be joining us in feeling the other manas that the flames you control can manipulate within herbs." The natural alchemist hummed a little while she opened up a satchel full of herbs. Some of which Remey had never seen before. ...
