"I also have a gift for you. Whenever an elf leaves the forest they are required to wear this." The queen placed down small green metal leaves in the shape of a wreath. Each one glowed with small runes that symbolized the forest elf kingdom.

"They have a unique rune on them that proves you are related to this city and this kingdom. If any are to send mana through them they will feel the flow of natural mana for a moment. That is our way of showing our standing." The queen was proud to be handing these out to Walker. She had not met any other race that was deserving of this symbol in her lifetime. For her, it was a heart warming event. 

"Thank you. We are proud to wear something so important. I hope we can visit soon. But I think it will be even better to meet at the new capital." Walker was impressed and excited to be given these identifications. The party held three identifying symbols from three different kingdoms which held their friends. Nothing was more fulfilling. 

"Come on and stop that serious talk. I want to see that foot work you have learned. Scylla told me you have two different skills that you use together and that it was rather inspiring." King Roricks' voice was a little too loud. However, this seemed intentional to make the center of the floor clear and music to start up. 

"I don't think you can tell a king no." Wade pushed Walker forward earning him a harsh embarrassed glare. But Walker was not a spoil sport. 

"If I am going to push this to the maximum I can I will need a partner." Walker wanted to have someone share the focus with. Surprisingly a slim elf stepped on the air down from a branch to rest in front of him. Her long hair shimmered in the light of the crystal bringing many elves to look at her without reserve. 

"My nickname is Light, like a feather. I am the one in charge of every air strider within the city and I hold the wind wanderer system. Let's see if the esteemed hero can match my dance of the wind skill." The elf smiled and many others were attracted to the scene. This elf was long known for showing off her ability to twist through the air in an elegant fashion. Not many could rival her with their skills even though they were a proper attack based system. 

"Then I guess it is only right for me to lead." Walker felt his blood start to pump and he jumped forward. His stride fell as he lowered himself and bounced but up with a spin. The elf matched him but didn't even step a toe to the ground. She did so completely in the air while floating just above the ground. 

"Pick the beat up!" Walker yelled for the music to increase and was met with a change in tune. The flutes and wind instruments grew even louder and nearly frantic. This pushed his heart in to an overdrive of adrenaline and speed. "I hope you can dodge well. I can't stay too calm with this." 

The dance of the wild rabbit lost its' rationality and Walker fell in to the dance of the rabid rabbit. He completely ignored where the two danced and followed suit. He had no reason to worry over the elegant elf that flipped in the air and flung her arms about by him. He was doing the same. 

The real awe started as the two approached the branches and vines of the tree nearby. Walker did not hesitate to jump through and on branches causing those watching to fall further in to the spectacle before him. Light was surprised and pushed her movements to their furthest pique while Walker was using the dance of the rabid rabbit and jungle step in tandem. He was bouncing branch to branch as he had always done so. 

The queen had stood up with her jaw dropped while watching this. She had never seen an elf move in such a way as Walker nor had she seen the one nicknamed Light use her full skills. It was a show that shook her curiosity to the very core. She couldn't help but wonder what else this hero in front of her would be capable of the next she saw him. 

"You are fast and quick. But you can't dance where I can!" Light had become frustrated and suddenly left the branch for the open air. She wanted to steal away the focus and show that she was the dominant power in the air. She had always been the one to deliver the important information around the city. She had guided many wind striders to their duty and even some others with similar skills. But now she faced a challenge she feared to lose. 

Walker couldn't control himself with rationality. He stayed to the intense beat and lept straight in to the air without a single hesitation. The crown watching felt their hearts jump out of their chests at this sight. The only calm ones were Walker's party who had seen many more amazing things and had a feeling tugging at them. They knew something was about to happen.
