Master Of None

Chapter 689 - 689. Named

"Of course. I think Elise said that." Walker shook his head realizing that he had been too distracted and forgotten some small details. 

"Now, the world gave me my name. I woke up from becoming a grand spirit and did what any spirit does. I found the highest density of wind elemental mana I could. I needed it to replenish and stabilize myself." Zephyr was very animated which they all thought was because of the long slumber in the bow. 

"I went as high as I could in to the sky over the world where the wind mana was strong. When I reached there the system sent me a single notification telling them I was named Zephyr and I was the first grand wind spirit. I was confused by spent a great amount of time flying about in happiness. That's it." They were all floored. That wasn't a long story at all. 

"Heehehe, I know. That's very boring. But I was mostly alone until time passed so I went to sleep and let the wounds blow me around. When I came to there were many races making villages. Those demi-humans were too loud in the plains but the wind was nice. The elves kept trying to convince me to stay near their many small villages. But they were hermits and I didn't like staying." This input was interesting but a shame that Zephyr didn't have a time frame. 

"But I was happy with the demons who just ignored everything and moved around by themselves. They never bothered me. Same with the dwarves' ancestors. When I finally met one I thought it was a mole." Zephyr giggled before looking back at Walker and the others. 

"The merfolk and dragons were also a mystery for a long time. I met a baby dragon once and slept in their village for some time. I only glanced merfolk when I drifted in the wind of the ocean breeze."Zephyr seemed to be thinking for a bit before saying one other thing, "I also found a unique place in the sky but I should save that for later. It wouldn't make sense." The secret pulled at their curiosity but the absolute words were too clear. Zephyr would not say. 

"I eventually felt tired and wanted to rest again. Before that, I found a small human village and rested there. The next thing I knew I had someone how woken up in a different place. Strange magicians and forge masters came together to test things but mostly testing on humans. I decided that it was too much to deal with and rested again. I am made of mana, what could happen. Well. Being trapped in a bow could happen." She shook her head knowing that going back in to slumber had been the worst decision at the time. 

"That must be Immortal kings' city when it was still full of people and not ruins." Gil connected the dots and realized that they must have tried spirit forging to find a way to gain the same immortality that spirts had. 

"I don't know. But next thing I know I have almost no usable mana and some undead thing trying to use me and my skills." Zephyr seemed more and more annoyed as she remembered this. "The moment felt that gross undead release me and you touch my bow, i couldn't help but try band break free. The time you used the blows skill made me lose it. I was finally getting the right mana and could one day break free." Zephyr affectionately cuddled in to Gil's shoulder prompting him to lose all sense of calm. He was red and flustered. 

"Hey Walker, do you think that Alma will be jealous of an elemental spirit?" Remey asked this njust a little too loud to tease Gil making him even more red faced. 

"I want to meet Alma and all the other elves. I want to meet Elise and her spirit friends too. I need you to take me on a journey to see the world. I was asleep for way too long."Zephyr nearly whined while speaking. It had been too long of a slumber to be able to just say that it was fine to stay in place. 

"You are part of our family now. You will see the world with us. There are way too many places we have never been before." Gil regained his rationality and made this promise. 

"Hey Walker, I was wondering. You helped make that core for the golem right? I was listening but didn't you say you had a material you wanted to give them when you showed up?" Zephyr swore she heard Su and Walker chatting about a material they found as they walked in to the high forge. 

"The ember bones! I completely forgot. I hope Grey can use them!" Walker jumped up and shot from the room towards Greys' work shop with all his agility. The others just laughed and decided to sit and swap storied while they rated. The elder finally came out of his daze and collected his reward from the quest. He was overjoyed by the low tier spirit speak skill allowing him to understand the less complicated words Zephyr used. 

Gil was still feeling like he had stepped in to another world. He had wanted to free the spirit from the moment he had learned it was trapped. Now he knew that this spirit had heard everything their entire journey. It was too much to handle. On top of all this, the wind spirit was actually a grand wind spirit, with a name! His mind constantly raced the more he thought on this and he eventually leaned back to rest and have some time to polish up the true spirit bow in his lap.

Walker burst in to Grey's work shop area to find the apprentices in chaos. He had no idea what was going on.
