"I have decided. I will join the effort to build your city. I will make trade maps and even use my favors with the kings for my work so far to get them to send golem guards with me." Zenith burst out from thought just as Walker was about to interrupt her thoughts and ask what there was to do now. 

"Oh..ummm, that\'s great." Su giggled seeing Walker surprised by Zeniths\' sudden reaction. "I will let the rulers know that someone from the dwarves wants to come and join the endeavor. I just hope that the summit can be held sooner since I have a feeling that there are more and more people coming together." Walker had the sense that the summit would be sooner than expected since everything was running so smoothly. 

"Perfect! I will go and report now. I can walk you up after. Well...I might be busy for some time. Can you walk back yourselves? I\'m sorry." Zenith looked a little sad to be leaving them alone but she knew that she would be dragged in to a room and questioned to explain every single sketch and map she made of the areas. It was always a long and tiring process but necessary for the safety and development of the ruin excavation. 

"We are alright with that. Leader and I will talk with the spirits on the way back. Midnight and Onyx will most likely run forward and wait for us at the top. Good luck with your meeting."Su bid her farewell for now and Walker did the same. They headed off while Midnight and Onyx lived up to Su\'s prediction rushing off to the top of the stairs that led to the merchant district. 

"You and the earth spirit had some bonding in battle today. I\'m happy for you two." Walker saw that the earth spirit had started to rest on the top of the earth dwelling shield which Su had stapped to her back. It was the perfect place for it to rest while enjoying the walk back. 

"You don\'t even know how it feels...or maybe you do better than anyone. The earth elemental mana is all around us here and it feels warm. It\'s like I\'m home. The darkness elemental mana is similar but that was there since the class upgrade and I never knew that it was like that until I had this comparison." Su was still amazed by the feeling of the manas around her. 

"I can feel it with my elemental manipulation and other skills. But I can feel them all. I don\'t know if I really have an affinity for all of them or if I can just sense them. Regardless it is a very good feeling." Walker could tell the elemental spirits were interested in this because even the fire elemental spirit that had been resting and absorbing fire elemental mana had focused on Walker now. 

Walker was about to continue when he noticed that the darkness elemental spirit that had been hiding in Su\'s shadow along with the earth spirit that had been in the treasury were in front of him blocking the path. They obviously wanted him to stop which they did. "Is there something wrong? Do you two need help?" Walker was worried that the spirits needed more mana to stay in their form since they had been in the treasury lacking the mana for some time. 

"No." The darkness elemental spirit spoke softly. Walker was very surprised it was the one speaking. "We will join you. We wish to see the world and become more." This was a shock. Walker wasn\'t sure he would get spirits to join him just yet since the fire elemental spirit had chosen a dwelling item instead. 

"Are you sure? The staff I am making will most likely require you and other spirits combining to become another spirit. I know what that means for a spirit and I know that there are reasons spirits do not do so." Walker recalled the fact that spirits would lose their consciousness and create another when fusing. 

"We will join you! We want to be part of what you do." The earth spirit responded happily. The two spirits had seen and felt what Walker was trying to do and what his goals were. They had been listening carefully while they told Zenith stories and had judged Walker to be deserving of their loyalty. So much so that they would fuse in to whatever spirit he needed. They had been moved beyond their consciousness that had been trapped for years. This was also a small way to repay him for the freedom they would have for the rest of his and their lives. 

"Then I will thank you in advance. I know it means a lot for a spirit and I look forward to learning more about each other in the future." The spirits were very happy to see how touched Walker was with their decision and that he understood how valuable it was to them.
