CHAPTER 2644: 2644. INSTINCTS HELP

That was it, no more questions needed to be asked. Everyone else had heard the full conversation, not just because their stats were high enough that they could hear everything. It was simply that the sky crow chief and Walker didn’t manipulate the wind mana to make sure the words were not hidden. Not that Walker wouldn’t have made the words carry through wind mana to be able to be heard by all of them.

The guard who had fallen to their knees hoping that Walker would be able to do what he said was right beside him. He was leading him but also seemed to have become very protective. As if a monster might appear and crush the hope that had just been extended to him. That was understandable though.

While they moved, the sky crow villagers clearly saw the direction that they were going and started to follow. The young in their village were to be protected by everyone. Not only because they had very few children, but because they as a village raised the children and not just the parents.

This tradition was used by other similar smaller tribes, the demi-humans within the demi-human kingdom being some that followed this. The traveling villages like the rabbit men were the same with how their young were raised by everyone and not just two parents. It was a good tradition to keep alive since it places so much value on the next generation. Walker and the others would fully support this sort of thought process within Genesis since it would mean that the young were protected more by everyone and even taught by everyone.

A mindset that the entirety of Genesis would raise the next generation would also lead to more teaching. The mixing of cultures and techniques would lead the young to take on new and unique classes. Pushing them to develop new methods or generally higher quality skills and practices. Something that Walker would dwell on later during meditation if he could find the time.

He knew that everyone should rest even if they were not tired. The journey to the elemental planes would rest heavier on them than they realized.

The larger hut that they used as their nesting area seemed to be the most developed. There were significantly more braids in the bent and twisted wind affinity woods used. There had to be a very special technique that the sky crows used to ensure that this all worked. It proved that there was a lot more to the thought process and effort put in to building and protecting their village.

As Walker neared the nesting area, he saw that other materials were added in to the soft herb and dried herb bedding that two fairly large eggs rested on. The sky crow eggs were streaked with blue and black, a clear show of their connection to night and day and how their feathers changed.

It was the nesting materials that the bed they sat on was made though, that was what stuck out more than anything else. "Do you gather the materials for the beds they sit on from just around here or are they materials that were gathered and kept the same for many years?"

The sky crow chief stood casually near the eggs as if he were afraid to speak or breathe around them. "We have kept these materials for years. They are items we found comforting as the years passed, many were found and gave us the feeling that they were supportive to the eggs resting in the same safe position. They have always be perfect."

’Earth Spagna moss

This is a moss that normally grows within the earth elemental plane but has different species of the same origin that grow within every elemental plane due to its high adaptability. Various species grow within the world where it has adapted and evolved brilliantly through the years.

The mana it carries it has absorbed while growing and releases slowly when it is taken and left to rest elsewhere without the proper mana it needs to keep growing. Due to this, many races or monster species will use it to make bedding for their young...’

’Red sparkling vines

This vine grows on the borders of the fire elemental plane. It is a very weak plant with the ability to store tiny fire elemental crystals that grow within the twisted vine because of its overly complicated structure makes it harder for the mana to leave the plant. This is also why many weaker monsters consume them when they are young. They will extremely slowly bleed out their fire mana but it is rare for many beings to notice this...’

"Two of the materials that you have here are from different elemental plane planes. This moss is from the earth elemental plane. This vine originates from the fire elemental plane. And this, is a piece of grass dried out from the water elemental plane." Walker showed each material slowly but surely. While he didn’t read allowed all the all around appraisal, he did make it clear that the sky grows had instinctively been gathering materials for years that all had different manas within them.

While they could not sense the manas, they could instinctively understand that they ended them. It was why they had managed to foster their young. The manas had all slowly bled out of these materials in tiny amounts allowing none of them to sense it. However, it allowed for them to give their young the manas that they needed to grow.

"These materials bled manas your young needed to hatch out of their eggs. Now that many of the materials are old and have no manas left because they degraded, there isn’t enough mixed manas to provide what’s needed. I assume this is also why your people have always maintained a connection to the world and never truly connected purely with the elemental planes. You have always grown and been born because of mana conditions like the world’s conditions."

He opened his hands and the entire room soon started to balance. All the natural mana that Walker had saved within his body was enough to do a great deal of things. This small amount that he used to balance and spread the mana within this one small room was nothing in the great expanse that was his mana pool now.

As the mana covered the guard and the sky crow chief, they looked as if they were taking deep breaths after swimming under water as long as they could. They stood a little taller and had a cleaner way of moving. Less stiff and more fluid in every action, their eyes even focused a little more. "This is what it should feel like? To be in your plane?"

"This is the balance of manas there. While everything moves and some manas gather in certain areas, it’s just part of the way the world works. It’s a place where everything is in its own flow and balance and that’s what makes it the world. Now that the elemental plans are connected, the world has been growing a lot more lately. That’s because the world was held back too. And now your little ones won’t be held back either."

The sharp crack of an eggshell proved the point clearly. These little ones had been ready to hatch from their eggs and be born properly in to the world. Two mothers rushed in hearing the sound and feeling the manas. They didn’t look at Walker but made their way to each egg. The first that had cracked after drinking up and sensing the manas instinctively was already cracking more. The second was right behind it. These mothers focused solely on their children who they feared would never hatch.

"I believe it’s time that I invite you to Genesis. To live and create your own home. We have a place watched over by the royal wind dragon Ventus. She had children and cares for them with a great might above that compared to the other dragons. She even has them guarding small demon race villages while they learn to protect other races and help them get on their feet after trouble. Would you be interested?"

The guard who was ready to throw his life away to get help for his children didn’t hesitate. He turned to Walker after a second of looking at his child breaking free of the eggshell and in to its mother’s arms. "I will bring my family to your plan. If that is where they need to be so that they can grow then that is where they will be."

"Then as the sky crow chief, I will take this opportunity to pass on my feather to you..."
