Master Of None

Chapter 1285 1285. Expansion

"Gil! Oh, Walker too. What are you both doing here?" Alma was walking with a group of the forest and water elves. They all had papers and were pointing to general areas.

"Well, Gil wanted to show me a little of what you have been working on. We both also wanted to train a little and he said this would be a great place with some of the expansion." It was a little too adorable to see how excited Alma was that Gil was back. From what it appeared, she and Gil had begun to get a lot closer lately. It made Walker think about his own relationship with Alice and how he had been falling behind lately with everything he heaped on his plate.

"Well, he was right. He has been training here enough that he is pretty much a resident." Alma looked a little more serious for the next sentence, "I was thinking very hard about how the elves would act and function in Genesis. I have supported the equality of every race and I decided to act on it. The territory that the elves will have here is being altered. It will be easier for other races to come in and enjoy our culture along with them to understand us. I saw the dwarves were doing something similar too. They added some natural mosses from the forests to make it easier for the elves to go underground. They also gave us every lead they had on where the stone elves may be. It was a surprise and it woke me up."

This was not at all a surprise. Even though the king of the deep caves liked to say he was not the person to deal with certain matters like diplomacy or relationships with other races, Walker had begun to realize it was just not what he preferred. The king of the deep caves was actually very good and righteous. The title of king was split between the three dwarven kings because of what they would handle with their large population and duties, yet they were able to cover for each other which was a hidden secret that could keep their kingdom standing even if the worst happened.

"I can see that. You have very clean and defined pathways going through along with storefronts on the ground. I can see that the trees have been grown well and you already have some substantial treehouses for your people. I can't imagine what you have been doing with the water elves' input to divert a small portion of water to create a lake area." Alma gave Gil a small look of unhappiness. She had wanted to unveil it all without Walker or anyone else knowing what had been going on.

Seeing that he was starting to get himself in to hot water, Gil made an attempt to move on. "We can head to my training spot. Don't let us get in the way. You look really busy."

Right before Gil was going to push Walker away, Alma caught his arm. "And we just finished. My next meeting is in an hour. The perfect chance to walk to the water elf territory connecting to the lake being made by earth mages." Her eyes said that she would make Gil regret walking away while her smile toward Walker was sweeter than honey.

"Have you been working on anything else? I know you have your blue ivy and razor whip weed now. I thought you might be trying to use other plants now?" Walker had not forgotten that Alma had the ability to grow plants and use them to battle. She was not so much a front line fighter as a supporter. She had a definite role especially when it came to the fact that one day she might be able to control an entire forest.

"I have been working on a special project. I can't go in to much detail but it is a very important tree to my people. It actually holds value to all elves in a way. I will show you when it finishes germination and has the chance to put down roots. My blue ivy has recovered and I have plenty of seeds. The razor whip weed is tricky, I need to learn to use it in a way that works with my skills better. I have a skill I want to develop and learn that we recorded generations ago. The problem is that the user didn't write how they learned and trained it." There was obvious tiredness concerning this topic. It meant that Alma had been working on this a lot lately.

"Is this the vine armor skill again? If you are going to spend all night on it you need to rest during the day." Gil recovered his mentality and reprimanded Alma. It was clear that he had already had this talk with her since she was so busy and added her own training on top of her duties.

"I'll have to side with Gil. you are piling a lot on your shoulders just like I do. If you keep it up you might fall behind. I know I have started to…" the recommendation was met with a slight nod from Alma.

"On another note. This is the beginning. There used to be trees here but we changed them to be the same species that grow near the water with long roots and stable bases. The water will come up here and people will be able to take boats out on the surface. However, it will be deep enough to have homes built underwater. The merfolk should feel welcome as well." Alma was very proud that the merfolk would be able to come and be comfortable under the water with the water elves. Even if the merfolk idolized the water elves a little too much.
