Master of none

There was an uncertain buzz in the air. Some of the radiant light elves and some of the dark wing race members were curious but wary. That was all fair though since they came from opposing elemental planes. They would not easily be able to just start holding hands and be best friends.

There was also the fact that not every single one of them could be right next to the other to speak. The dark mana around the dark wing race was a little too potent for some of the radiant light elves. Yes, they were in the light territory, however, that did not mean that they were ready or resistant enough to handle their affinity's opposing mana.

The dark wing race had even fewer of their members able to show themselves and they had to stay right next to Walker to make sure that they did not take a brunt of light mana from the light elemental spirit tree. Therefore there was some struggle.

Conversation was happening though.

One of the dark wing's race was asking about the true light sage. It was clear that all of them had been able to meet the true dark sage in some form so they wanted to know if it was the same for the radiant light elves and the true light sage. This was something that might seem odd since Walker was sure many knew of the ways that the elemental planes worked. Where it was normal though, was when he considered the fact that the dark wing race might be curious if the true sages were all the same.

The dark wing race wandered the edges of the dark elemental planes and seen the boundaries. Some boundaries are very thin. Meaning that they can actually look in to the start of an elemental plane. They have the chance of seeing another true sage in some shape or form.

Another was asking about the need for light mana and if the radiant light elves could survive just by absorbing more light mana. Surprisingly, the radiant light elves said no. that they needed the mana but it could and was better off coming from the plants they ate and grew. The dark wing race member responded with the same, however, that they often hunted monsters with potent dark affinity and only focused on eating once for longer stretches of time due to their nomadic nature.

These topics were not just small pieces but aspects of their culture that came up every day for them. The dark wing race might be leading the conversations but they were giving just as much as they were getting. The few dark elves who had come regardless of the light territory to see the radiant light elves were easily speaking with the dark wing race and even had their attention even more closely.

The dark wing race had listened about how the radiant light elves had once been elves of the world but left and developed within the light elemental plane. It was the same as the angels who left and became the dark wing race. A similarity that made them both seem to accept the conversations and goals much better.

Something that surprised Walker even more was when the leader of the dark wing race here today spoke out to the radiant light elf who had spoken first as well. "Your race is interesting. You are focused on light and you being here causes more shadows to fall with the right mana you radiate. We see that the light and dark manas are mixing around all of us more easily. Does it harm you?"

It was a fair question. Walker was sure that within the light elemental plane that the radiant light elves did not cast shadows. That would be odd for them since they had no dark mana connected to, around them, or anywhere really within the light elemental plane to form a shadow.

While the dark wing race lived in all darkness so to them, a shadow was just denser darkness and not the mixing of dark mana and light mana within a place. Meaning that their and the world's shadows were very different. Hence why the dark wing race member had told Walker that his shadow was a mix of manas rather than just a simple patch of darkness.

All of this was starting an interesting conversation about what they had both seen and learned so far. The radiant light elves had assumed that the shadows being cast were fine since the weak dark mana in it was deterred by the buff skills they had on them and used. The dark wing race also spoke of the buff skill protecting them and that they were not blinded by the light even though their eyes should be exceptionally sensitive to it as a mana and preferred different forms of darkness.

Both seemed to understand that the way the world balanced wasn't in a grand controlling form. The world mixed and balanced in peace naturally. Their knowing look as they both understood there was not a delicate system of guardians maintaining each area. Nor was there any true sage keeping control and passing information to an elemental king was heavy.

To them it would sound like the world had less protection. Yet, they also saw those with hero titles. Skill beyond them. The ability to use multiple manas.

The world might not be controlled the same way that an elemental plane was, but it was protected.

"I can't say I am a true sage in the same way as the true sage sir the elemental planes. I do spend a lot of time focusing on the flow of mana and the natural aspects of that. I have connections and quests that go along with the world's will."

A moment after this, Walker had an idea. "When all of you leave, I hope you will guide and bring along the representatives from Genesis so that they may learn and experience your homes as well. You will just have to ensure they make it home safely."

He saw some of the radiant light elves wonder. They seemed to mentally agree that they were the ones sent here in trust and could make the decision. Especially since it sounds like this was something that would happen and it was much better that their race accepted a traveler. That would allow them to keep learning and advancing.

"I would be sending an elder light dragon to explore your home and learn." Rise made a quiet appearance. She seemingly had walked here calmly without alerting anyone. She had even kept her light mana closely held back so that the radiant light elves didn't notice her and kept speaking. A little sneaky but a wise choice.

"I will be sending some of the younger serpents. They wish to accept more of their darkness affinity and can learn it well from you while traveling the shadows." Onyx spoke loudly and clearly. The dark wing race listened and were clearly prepared for all of it since they hoped they would be able to keep learning.

By now, the radiant light elves and the dark wing race members had started to feel it.

It was a limit. Not one put upon them by any greater will, but a limit of their own bodies. They didn't need to leave in a rush or return home this instant. They know though, that they wouldn't be able to stay here too much longer. They could only handle and resist other manas for so long before it became detrimental to their health permanently.

"We agree. We can show them a lot. They can move with us. We will find another bridge. We will visit again." The dark wing race members outside of the shadows all agreed and said the same things. They wished to see the world as much as they could so we're fine with leaving and coming back as long as they could track down the bridges to the elemental planes.

"Our people would gladly provide opportunity for yours to be able to learn and understand something unknown to you. I believe there will be great benefits that come to both of us." The radiant light elves responded as well, not wishing to be left behind.

Making sure this was agreed on with Walker's return was all the better since now Genesis was truly beginning to become a hub of all races in the greater elemental planes and the world. This step was a small one compared to how many races may one day visit, but it was a major step since it was some of the first chances at this form of growth.

The small smile on Walker's face didn't leave as conversations began again. This time there was even more excitement and energy. Everything he was glad to be part of.
