The sight that Walker had expected to see was the earth slowly pulling up and forming an earth spirit just like the one that was partnered with Su. This was not the case. Small pebbles started to get pulled instead of the softer dirt. They piled themselves up in to a similar shape as the earth elemental spirit. They continued to do so until they were double the size of the earth spirit. The small pebbles were forced in to a denser arrangement.
"Stone spirit! That's a stone spirit!. Who would have known? They are so rare. I knew that having a fellow mage around would bring us luck." The elf was happily clapping Walker on the back while the other two earth mages practically jumped around.
The stone spirit moved and look at everyone. The earth elemental spirit was already rambling off worlds to it explaining things. The two spirits were soon bouncing around the basements giggling a little. Walker could tell that they were happy to see another similar to them but he still wondered why the major difference.
"Am I the only one that doesn't know what a stone spirit is?" Part of Gil felt stupid to ask but he knew that Alice and Su were probably in the same boat as he was.
"Ah! Yes. Stone spirits are an earth spirit but it has a better control of stone. It must have been brought from a mountain or many many years ago this was a mountain. As time changed the landscape some spirits get left behind while sleeping. They are the best spirits to as for help when making tough structures or looking for some hard rock for building. If we can work with it we would be honored." The earth mage that had been slapping Walker on his back in celebration calmed himself to speak. They the stars returned to his eyes and he walked toward the stone spirit. The other two mages followed and introduced themselves.
"They are earth mages. It must be a very big event in their lives to meet a different variant of earth spirit." Su was not at all sad to see the earth spirit playing with the stone spirit. She knew it had been resting in the earth dwelling shield and most likely needed some time to enjoy the city by itself with a friend.
"I can just guess how much it would be able to help build a city. I think I will try and help them speak to it." Walker made his move while Alice just stared at him. She had some trouble believing that Walker could just casually speak to the earth and stone spirit. but she already knew this was possible, it was just that he was able to do so without batting an eye. She knew that he was truly a wonder in the world.
"Hello, my name is Walker. I hope you had a nice nap. We found you sleeping and helped wake you up. These are some of my mage friends. They are building homes. I hope you can become friends with them as well." The mana that Walker used to convey this message was enough to make all the earth mages turn their heads.
The earth mana Walker had used was a little more dense than usual but perfect for speaking to the stone spirit. "Build?" The single word that the stone spirit caught was build. Walker looked as it began to understand what was happening. It fixed on the sight of a pile of rocks that had been moved before. "BUILD!" The shout was strong and Walker watched as the stone spirit moved toward the pile of rocks.
It started to move the elemental mana and direct it to the earth mages. "I think it wants you to build with it. You will need to help it out." The shocked earth mages were slow to react but as soon as the earth elemental mana from the stone spirit neared them they got serious.
The stones that had been piled up due to their digging and building of the foundations and basements of the tamers' guild, began to shift. The earth mages were using them as the walls to the basement they were working on. It would sure up the foundations and make an overall better building.
Alice had a hard time looking away from the three earth mages moving rocks and stones on to places of walls without breaking a sweat. Furthermore, they were smoothing the rocks out using a heavy amount of earth magic. Walker had shown her his high earth sculpting but it was a much smaller scale than this. She could only look around and absorb as much of what was happening as possible.
Walker would have kept on the way so that they could keep exploring the area that were open and waiting for foundations. But since Alice was so in awe, he decided to stay and watch as well. Fleur was also pulling on his hair. He knew that it was Fleur that had most likely pushed for the proper awakening of the stone spirit. She had the ability to manipulate natural mana which means she can also manipulate the individual elemental manas. The effect that she had over spirits below her was a mystery to Walker but in this case it appeared that Fleur had helped it become its true form.
"I didn't know this was how a foundation was made and a basement could be made. I know a lot of the time people need to dig it out. But if the architects and stone masons work with the earth mages like this, then they will be able to build much faster. I can see them partnering to make their own house building association in a few years." Su's prediction was easy to see coming to be. The group watched until the earth mages had begun to tire and sit for a break.
