Master Of None

Chapter 1297 1297. Feeling Fuzzy

"Su, are you alright?" Gil had made it back to the mansion some time ago. He had let Remey know what was going on but she had been unable to stop her work to go back with him to eat. She was swamped with paperwork and herbs that were flowing in to the guild. On top of all that, she had taken some responsibility to direct the adventurers not to head toward the ravines in the field lands where they may accidentally encounter the giant earth ants. That left Su and Gil alone for dinner, but Su was clearly distracted.

"Things just feel…off. I'm warmer than usual and my head is fuzzy. But I have energy. It's strange. I…I'm not really sure." Because Su was bonded with Midnight as her guardian, Su could feel the strengthening of bonds through Midnight. But she did not realize that she was also that close to Walker through Midnight. They shared a unique bond that held them closer than most people would notice. She did understand to some degree though.

"Of course she feels it! She is covered in mana right now." Zephyr was idly floating about the room with a bored demeanor. The earth spirit had melded in to Su's spirit mark earlier in the day and Su had not fully understood why.

"She is? Is that why I feel like the wind is weaker?" Gil had noticed the change but was unsure what was going on. He had just assumed the winds had shifted like they normally would as time went on in the day.

"What?" wait…The mana is what?" Gil was very surprised to see that Su had heard what Zephyr had said. normally they didn't all understand Zephyr since they didn't have the ability to speak with her properly. Su had an earth spirit mark so she didn't understand every single elemental spirit.

? "Did you use those scrolls that Walker had made already? I know he had a bunch sent here but getting the skill is really hard." Gil was temporarily distracted before he remembered what the real issue was. "If it's because of mana, well, you know what's going on in the tower. Maybe it has to do with Midnight too. She apparently rushed there to train." Since it had all been going on for more than a day at this point many of the mages were in an uproar about the tower's reactions. The mana alone was extremely beneficial to the entire city.

They both started to understand what the situation might be as Zephyr waited for the inevitable reaction. Su jumped up with her mind still a little fuzzy while Gil nearly hopped the table to keep her standing. "If this has to do with them then you need to rest. You are Midnight's guardian, right? You went through a ritual to make that proper. You are much closer to each other than I think you know. It's the same as your partnership with the earth spirit. You two are one and the same at this point." Gil had already become very close with Zephyr and could tell that Su was experiencing something unique.

"I just need to see... What's going on?" When Su looked up Gil was caught speechless. Her eyes were not the normal eyes he was used to. She had some skills that revolve around draconic eyes but now she had the appearance that matched it. Su's pupils were thin slits exactly the same as a dragon's. There appeared to be a slight fire within them.

"No, you are going to rest and take this slow. I will stay here until you feel things clearing up. Just focus on your mana and body. I will be here." The change was enough for Gil to completely understand that the dragon blood was reacting again the same way it had when Su first finished the ritual with Midnight. She was adapting and changing before his eyes and he was not going to walk away when she needed him.

Su had been clear on her initial reasons for becoming an adventurer. Her mother had been ill and needed constant care from her and her father. That had inspired Su to be closer to the cathedral and many other things that revolved around healing. If Gil could not stay with her then how could he ever stand beside her again? He had a lot to live up to already when compared to Su's caring nature.

While putting Su to bed, Gil wondered just what was going on. He knew things would end up strangely but this was much more in depth. "Stop worrying. I can tell this is good. I want to rush there too. It's a feeling that the mana is being guided there. I wouldn't be surprised if more spirits are there too. Fleur might be getting stronger. I wonder if she will be like me soon." Zephyr could feel a pull on her that she had not felt since the day that she became a grand wind elemental spirit. She had felt this pull when she had come to be and was given a name by the world. It reminded her of the past she had lived and the many years she had slept. It reminded her of what she was and how she would keep living now.

"I know you are right, but that doesn't make it easier. I want to protect my family too. But they seemed to be running in to hurdles everywhere. If I can't figure everything out on my end, then how I will stand with them?" Gil had felt the exact same way as everyone else. They didn't all admit it but they all felt it. They were a family after all. They weren't together just out of pure luck. They had met as if guided by fate.
