Bab 386: 386. Skill Demonstration

Walker sat in silence while he came to terms with how the elves must feel. He could tell that this mage was a very big piece in the evolution of their mana theories and understanding. They had seen nature use the fusion of elements but been purists themselves. This was even still seen today but just as a base for getting stronger before trying to fuse elements with another mage.

He could also understand the pain of watching a pioneer of their own species fall from the peak to a tragic end could bring them great sadness. "I am sorry for bringing it up. But to me, this mage sounds like they did many things no one could have dreamed until it happened." Walker placed it delicately. 

The eyes of the mages sparkled with understanding and drive. They knew that it was a very unique situation and had been passed down for good reason. The meaning wasn't to become stuck and sad but instead motivated to do what seemed impossible.
