Master Of None

Chapter 1589 1589. I Am Coming!

"You are not leaving me behind!" The angry yell was not something any of the party had heard from The normally sweet voice of Alice. Instead, it seemed to make their very skin crawl. The light around her was sharp and they felt they had angered a goddess.

"You heard my new partner, leaving without us would be a grave insult." Horizon seemed to manifest out of the very light that was crackling around Alice as she stood in front of the party which had just begun to leave the mansion. They had all awoken early to head toward the first ship preparing to enter the river.

"Alice, you can come-"

"No! I am leaving with the first ship and you can not stop the three of us!" Aurora curled around Alice's arm seemingly just as angry as Alice was. Her glare seemed to be piercing through them just as the shards of condensed light would if Alice were to want it to be so.

"I was-" Walker stuttered slightly since he was unsure what to do in this situation. He had clearly angered the girl he cared for but even worse he had made her feel like an exile since she was not included in their quest to leave and explore a new continent.

"Of course you are. The best healer in the city would be a valuable asset." Su's logic made Alice relax ever so slightly.

"I have no issue with it. Walker is the one who will get the brunt of the damage if we say no though. Maybe I should side with him?" Resisting the urge to flat out start a real fight, Remey decided to tease them instead.

"Hmm, I would be saying the same if I did not need to further organize the elves that will be heading there on the next ships. That is why I did not burden Gil to come later. However, I did come to encourage my friend Alice." Alma seemed to relish this as she showed herself. She had clearly come to ensure that Alice would be going with the party immediately.

"I thought you had a meeting this morning?" Gil was unsure if he was about to be yelled at.

"Oh, I did. With my friend here. She came to see the light elves and learn a few things from them. She also introduced her partner Horizon to them. They were all very happy. It's better than someone who said that they were almost ready to show me something special, then didn't show themselves for, well, how long was it?" Gil was clearly in hot water as well.

"Oh no, we might be late! I have to run quickly before they send off the ship without us!" Gil began to run with Alma at his heels ready to yell at him more.

"So Gil is a little too nervous…I really thought he would have asked Alma to be with him forever." Onyx's open thoughts made everyone cough out loud. None of them could say it out loud. Even Waker who had been told exactly that as Gil's desire by Gil!

"I don't see why everyone is surprised. I have learned when someone cares for another with their entire being that is only natural." Onyx was still too young in the world to understand the intricacies of this. However, none of them noticed that Aurora had turned her head in confusion wishing to know more about this. To understand what the conversation was about. She had been learning just as fast as Onyx had. She would soon catch up to a degree.

"Besides the point, Alice, we need you to come with us. If you don't we could be under much more stress. Will you change the plan I had imagined up and come with us on the first ship?" The light around Alice finally calmed down and her smile returned.

Seeing the massive control of light around Alice and the fact that there were multiple shards of condensed light that seemed permanently around Alice, Walker had immediately returned to the plan he had thought he would be going with. The fact that Alice was coming a little sooner would not change much.

"Sister Alice is coming!" Midnight seemed ecstatic over this. She wanted Alice to come since Alice always broke the easiest and handed over snacks. It was the last say in the matter. Regardless of what everyone said, Midnight had finalized it.

Without hesitation, Alice fell in to step with the party. The only thing that seemed a little odd was Horizon. For a grand elemental spirit, he was very talkative. Zephyr had been a little talkative but Horizon was extremely talkative. The language barrier being translated by the system now was even more helpful to everyone so elemental spirits had begun to get on better with all races.

"You don't even know what power my Alice has. The true representation of my light. She could crush a mountain when she's old enough. She's ten levels less than you but much stronger. Not that it matters about level. I can tell you that it has not always been that way. I think that shadow guy can tell you about it but he's too stubborn." This made all of them raise an eyebrow.

The bragging aside, they weren't sure what horizon meant by saying that things weren't always decided by levels. "What do you mean? We have never heard this theory about the past?" Walker failed to resist the bait and gave in to curiosity.

"Oh, I mean that isn't a theory. There was a reason the world decided to act and why it acts so much now. You will understand eventually. You are going to be the first being that bonds with the world after all. Ask your partner. Ask Miss Fleur." The Miss term was something Horizon had learned to show respect. Respect that he had to offer to a nature spirit that would be a proper world spirit one day.

Fleur on the other hand just remained hidden within Walker's spirit mark. The grand elemental spirits seemed to have caught on that there would be some strenuous battles coming up. They wanted to support their partners the best they could and decided to store mana. The more they rested and stored up the easier it would be.

"Heading away already? I have prepared a small squad of my personal troops to follow you." Scylla effortlessly stepped through the air knowing that the party would be headed toward the ship building area. The water elves and many water mages had already headed there as well.

"I will come with the last ship. I want to ensure that I have that former sin title holder and the water elemental grand spirit under tight guard. If I am leaving there will not be some halfway done guarding of potentially dangerous people." This was Scylla's main focus. Walker had gladly welcomed her taking this over. She knew the dangers and who to put in charge to avoid them.

Depending on the demi-human traits, they might be able to resist certain skills. Especially skills that would put someone to sleep. "That will put everyone at ease. I know the elves even set up runes around the area he is sleeping too so that it's safer. The water spirit doesn't have an avatar though. I think it will choose Sandman though. Something about the flow of dreams and the flow of water. That might just be a hunch though."

The way Walker spoke made everyone wonder where he had come up with this idea. Yet, when he said it might be a hunch they wondered if he was channeling the will of the world a little. Especially since it had just been brought up. It wasn't the main focus of what they were doing though.

"I think you will be right behind me then. We can make sure that the route stays properly open. I am bringing some of the stronger water elves with me on the second to last ship. We are attempting to widen the river as we go with each ship." Alma and Scylla fell in to a discussion about this making everyone wonder if they had even more plans than any of them knew about, even Gil wondered this.

"There's Leon. he looks pretty excited to get moving. I'm sure he had plenty of merfolk soldiers prepared for a good fight." Remey seemed more excited to see the merfolk soldiers than the others. She had not had any encounters with them since she had grasped the fire elemental battle styles more. She wanted to pit herself against them to test her skill in battle against tan opposing elemental mana.

"Well, before you start with him, it looks like the wandering blacksmith is here with a few things too." Gil grinned as he dashed forward toward the ship that was positioned to be put in the water.
