Chapter 2248: 2248. Fickle Wind
"You know that it's dangerous for Zephyr to go with you, right?" heere was a stern tone in Gil's voice.
"If you are that worried, why is it that you aren't coming too?" Walker's rebuttal was enough to make Gil look around.
He was about to say that he would be going, however, he had been told that he had his duties here in Genesis. He couldn't just leave for the island with Zephyr and a few angels to talk about history. Especially since he had bene shirking come work here and there. Alma would really beat him up if he avoided that work.
"Don't you trust that Zephyr is strong enough to keep a sound mind while we speak with them?" Gil shook his head, he was not doubting her strength. It was just the worry that came with his closest partner from before he even knew that Zephyr was within the bow he used. Their bond was unique.
Relying on one another in battle and sharing their mana with one another. That had created a unique bond that had been unspokenly perfect. Zephyr would worry about Gil doing exactly the same thing "If anything happens, I am going to war with the wind elemental plane."
"That's a war you know you won't fight alone. But I have a feeling that everyone will be on our side if anything happens right now. Balance is the most important thing for the elemental planes." partially serious but also a little joking, Walker made sure that his firm smile gave Gil some peace of mind.
While the topic of war was not necessarily worthy of being comedy, it was the addition of comedy that stopped Gil from worrying too much. Sometimes some joking was just the right thing for a situation like this.
Regardless, the week had passed them by fairly quickly for what they had been busy with. Gil's work with the forest and the guards around the new building of a smaller magic tower had been enough to make him lose all energy. The plans were over a month long to ensure that things progressed smoothly since there was no research at all to base the architecture on yet. Things might fail or need to be changes, therefore, safety was a major focus.
Walkthrough himself had been busy meeting with the angels. Every single member of the archivist angels chosen had been reevaluated by him. Not just in conversation, but also with mana and their affinities. Even the smallest affinity for wind mana might cause them some issues. He did not want this endeavor to be an issue at all.
"Gil, this time Ventus will also be present. You have heard her wishes to venture in to the wind elemental planes to explore the potential of wind dragons going there one day. She will be making her plans with the true wind sage if possible. Do you expect that She will allow harm to come to Zephyr?"
Su broke the conversation between Walker and Gil making a very clear point. "I know, that doesn't mean I won't be worried." Gil knew that Zephyr had come to see him to reassure him as well before she went to contact certain wind spirits. However, he still was uneasy. That was just what happened when a family member was off doing something dangerous. Anyone would feel the same.
"You have wings. That's new. You look like someone familiar. But what race? Can't be angelic wind spirits. Not the gale demons either. Maybe you are related to the griffin worshippers? Now now, so different."
"True wind sage, these are angels. They are archivists and wished to ask you for help speaking with the angelic wind spirits about their past history. We knew that you would be able to make such things happen due to your standing within the elemental planes." Walker felt the wind mana grow slightly, an unsettling amount.
"I would gladly give you a personal tour just as I did with the true water sage. Fair is fair. She gave me advice about the elemental planes and meeting her fellow sages. She even told me about how you represent wind to such a high degree, I'm surprised that more wind spirits haven't appeared just to see you."
Flattery. Some basic and sneaky flattery. That was how to handle dangerous people whose emotions could shift instantly like this.
"She did? Who knew that she could care so much. Good good good. Then I will make a few of them come here. These little angels won't survive since the area is full of razor wind piranhas. That bridge is always moving. So odd. So hard to keep track of. But I can bring more around if you need." The true wind sage was darting about in the air, his shape still changing.
"As long as the wind elemental plane is where that bridge resides, I will control this part of my wind mana, the moment that changes, I will cease to be here. So, we have a lot to do! Start with that dragon there who looks at me like I am some mythical being. Then end with the wind spirit who's not a wind spirit. It's very interesting!"
The wind spun up some sand causing everyone to wince slightly. But this was good, the true wind sage was curious and that could help them right now. Especially since he was not openly against Genesis and Walker right now. If he was curious, then he had a mind open enough to learn about Genesis.
