Chapter 2273: 2273. Knowledgeable Wind
"Gil, I can see that you and Zephyr are doing well." Ventus surprised Gil as she had appeared next to him in complete silence. This was odd since she had multiple curses and seals preventing her from using wind mana or even absorbing it.
"I would say you might be doing better than us with how you moved just now." Even zephyr was moving around her in complete curiosity. If Gil hadn't felt the wind, then at least Zephyr should have. But neither of them had, and the true wind sage was still nowhere to be seen.
"I have understood a lot. Even without being able to influence the wind mana by taking it within myself, I have been shown that the ways to move through the wind can be done if one understands how the mana is flowing. I never truly grasped why and how wind currents formed in the first place."
As much as Gil felt he could learn a lot form this, he didn't have the time right this second to be able to get in to an in depth conversation about wind currents within and outside of the world. Especially with the fact that he knew they would be taken away from the wind elemental plane any moment.
"It feels like we have only been here for a few days. But it's been a month, hasn't it?" he looked at Ventus who nodded her head. Her eyes appeared to be troubled slightly by leaving so soon. However, she also looked somewhat excited. She had been away from genesis, her territory, and also the children she had left to grow while she was gone.
After taking a deep breath, Gil looked at the wind horn ogres. They were lined up in front of him, each had a decent amount to carry with them. The protection from the true wind sage during this time had allowed for them to gather foon, herbs, seeds, and many other things
While some of them still harbored some resentment toward Gil, after fighting and realizing that he could not be beaten, even if they teamed up against him, they had fallen right in to listening to him. Their desire to be somewhere safer had always been there, but they were not trusting.
Their lives had been very harsh since they were like many of the smaller races within the elemental planes. Even after being recognized by existence as an intelligent race, they had been in trouble. Forming a village or even just staying together was nearly impossible at times. Their numbers constantly dwindled with very short periods of peace for them.
On top of this, they were not the only ones.
Other smaller races had been entirely eliminated while attempting to survive their elemental plane. They had to strive for survival since that was just the natural order. However, there was also the simple fact that they did not choose to be servants to a more powerful and larger
race.
This was a simple realization that Ventus had when speaking with the true wind dominator dragon rating within the wind elemental planes. Their history was much different from the world's. Especially since they remembered when they had broken free from the risks of the world and been told that the elemental planes were always safer and that they could grow better there.
"The knowledge of a true dragon was lost. Of a single originator of all dragons. The one we believed was just the nature dragons. Not the original dragon. But that is enough for me. The ancient wind dragons allowed pure wind mana itself to take to their memories. That is why the dominator dragons also act as anchors for the elemental planes. They maintain both balance and the very history of when dragons came to the planes."
The more that Gil heard, the more he realized how complicated history would be from the dragons. The fact that they lived very long lives did not appear to help. Adding in their elemental branches in their race, then their history could be extremely involved and tough to align. Not that it would be impossible. It would just take a longer time to be recorded
properly.
"I'm sure you could tell me a great deal more, but it feels like we are about to be sent away." Gil looked up as he saw a large amount of wind condense and take a familiar form. "You are being sent away. I only agreed to a short time here. You should stay and show me more. But you are leaving too much to wonder about." The true wind sage would have preferred to keep all three of them here to see how they could develop. But he also understood that he could leave them within the world for later.
That there would be so much more to learn about when the bridges to the world were high rin number and access was greater. To him, this was a short time. Even if it took a few hundred years to happen. The true sages were old and very long lived beings, so just waiting for the chance to see all of what was to come was a small thing to them.
