The enforcer left in a hurry while Walker pulled out some of the longer chunks of crystal from the day before. He looked at them and motioned for the crystal mage to help. "Are you sure you want my help?' He was unsure about the process of making arrows. He had not made them before since the crystal craftsmen would usually make arrows.

"Sure, you have the crystal crafting skill. Even if you aren't used to it just think about it as training. You are a crystal mage and can shape crystals, the crystal crafting skill is just a refining method." Walker tried t support him the best he could while also taking out one of the empty wither spike arrows.

"We are going to copy that?" The crystal mage saw how thing the arrow shaft was and worried that it would break the second mana was added.

"Yes, but only make the inside of the arrow head hollow. The rest needs to be solid and stable. I know once mana is added and the arrow is used that the arrow will break so the best we can do is make sure it's perfect to fly straight and hit its' target." Walker was not going to make an inferior product.

The crystal mage reached out and used his crystal shaping skill. The arrow shaft and the fins slowly pulled out of the crystal and condensed in to a very solid shape. "If we don't need to chip away at the entire thing then it saves us time. The arrow head will be the only part we shouldn't force using shaping magic."

"Sounds good to me." Walker copied the crystal mages' actions using his high earth sculpting skill. The arrow shaft and fins rose from the chink of crystal and was left at the perfect place to chip away and cut an arrow head out.

The crystal mage pulled out the chisels and started to dig in to the chink of crystal making a triangular cut. He was getting the rough shape of the arrow head so that he would be able to hold the arrow and get the arrow head in the ideal position for shaping.

This was a much faster process than the sword and the two continued to do it until they were left with a chink of crystal too small to make a full arrow out of. They had pulled and carved fifty rough crystal arrows in a matter of two hours. The only problem was that they had depleted their mana and required a few mana potions along with some time to rest.

"Don't worry, I had some food sent here while you two worked. I think everyone taking a break and eating together will be a very pleasant change of pace." The mages had gone their separate ways and started their own experiments with elemental fusion spells. Many needed a rest from the grueling work.

The spell swords had started to training and designing swords with the insight of their respective elemental mages. This had worked to bring the two groups closer than ever and even brought some insights into how they should fight while using the specific element. Walker was glad to see this, he believed that the hard work would always pay off.

"We have some wild fruits and vegetables along with the meat from a giant boa. They come in to the forest to hunt when they don't have luck in the swamps. They aren't magically powerful or have any venom, but their bodies are tough. They can take a lot of hits before they go down, but their skin is ideal for crafting strong water proof tents and tarps." Alma gave Walker the run down of the dishes brought and he couldn't help but start to drool.

Midnight was right there with him eyeing the meat that she had never had before. When Alma saw this she giggled and had an enforcer help her bring over a large plate. "I made sure to have some extra made for you. If you are still hungry there is even more. The giant boa was longer than this room by three or four times. It was a very large adult."

Walker couldn't imagine such a huge snake roaming the forest or the swamps. He thanked the stars that he had not gone to the swamps and risked meeting one. "Brother, I will be bigger than that one day," Onyx spoke up for the first time in a while and was confident he would be much bigger in time.

"Onyx, you and I both know that you might end up growing even bigger than Midnight one day." Midnight huffed in indignation at this. She was going to be bigger and she would make sure of it. Naturally, she started scarfing down the meat in front of her at an escalated pace. This just left the mages in awe.

Walker looked at Onyx who had returned to his coil and silence instead of joining them. "It is very amazing how much light elemental mana your little brother can absorb. I have felt all my spells being weakened since he is absorbing at a very high rate." The light mage mentioned this as a compliment But Walker immediately checked as well.

He could feel the same thing and noticed that almost all the light elemental mana being produces by the runes on the floor was being absorbed by him. Onyx's ravenous appetite was dwarfing Midnight's at the moment and Walker wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing. The only thing he knew was that if something was wrong then Onyx would have already said something.

The group started to eat and relax, many of the mages started to share the new findings of their research making it sound like a large family together for a meal. Walker could feel that he was at home, it may not have been the family he was used to but the warm atmosphere was all he needed.
