    Su had been hard at work helping where she could. However, she had found that she was needed less and less as time went on. This prompted her to end up leaving with Onyx on her shoulder. "I thonk we did a lot of helping today. I learned a great deal about the medical systems the dwarves have instead of healer and priestess systems we have seen at the church."


    Onyx wasn''t sure what had stopped Su from walking away from the medical area. Her face was a mix of confusion. "Sister Su? What is wrong? Did we forget to help someone in the medical area? We can find the nurses and ask."


    "No, it''s not that. I just received a unique hero quest. It wants me to earn the respect of an earth elemental spirit and use a spirit forged weapon." Onyx was shocked just like Su. He knew that the spirit forged weapons were ones that had a trapped spirit in it.


    "That can''t be correct. The spirit would be trapped like the bow brother Gil has." Onyx was already drawingparisons to Gil''s bow and how this was something that seemed impossible.


    "If it wants me to earn the respect of the spirit then it must be free. Walker was going to work on the spirit forging issue between the dwarves and elves and he must have seeded. We need to find him so that I canplete this quest. The reward is earth elemental affinity. I am not sure why I would need it but it must be useful. I can''t imagine the system would issue such a rare reward without reason."


    Su had the feeling that having the earth elemental affinity would be extremely valuable to her in the future. If it was an earth dwelling shield and an earth elemental spirit she knew that somehow having the earth elemental affinity would benefit her. She also was wondering if having an affinity to an element could boost her defense to that element. If so it was perfect for her to have.


    "Walker must be at the high forge so that is where we will go." Su made this statement and hardened her resolve. She had her eyes on the high forge in the distance as she entered the merchant district.


    There were many dwarves around repairing pipes and cleaning away slime bodies still. The main areas that were damaged were the ces where there were grates that the slimes had been hiding under to eat away at groupings of pipes.


    "Ah, you''re that hero that immediately went to help the surgeons. I already talked to my neighbors and you managed to help all three of our stubborn husbands. They were all here trying to hold off the slimes with the guards and managed to get hurt by a bursting steam pipe. We already visited them earlier and found that you had been one of the biggest helps. The nurses were absolutely raving about you. That never happens."


    The dwarf woman that had stopped Su and Onyx was keeping two children in line who seemed to be trying to escape and run through the streets. "It was nothing miss. I just helped move the materials they needed here and there. My family here, Onyx, also helped me by learning what everyone needed. We couldn''t just sit around and do nothing."


    "Now that is what a true hero does. They see people in danger and go to help. Make sure you two learn that lesson well. When you both have your system you should do your best to make the dwarven name shine." The mother was putting Onyx and Su on a pedestal and it made Su feel slightly off. This was a new experience for her.


    "Oh, where are you headed dear? You look like you are a bit lost." The women saw that Su was looking around and seemed unfamiliar with the streets and paths but kept looking in the distance.


    Well, we are trying to get to the high forge. But due to the way the city is we have not been able to get a proper tour. We are actually trying to head there but I keep changing my path to avoid the construction and repairs." Su just decided to admit that they had changed routes multiple times. It was more than true since she saw a great deal of damaged areas.


    "Ah, It''s only natural. We might be organized and precise in our crafting. Yet, when we build out cities we make mazes. It seems to be a curse. The womanughed and caught the back clothing of one of her children trying to sneak off towards another alley to y somewhere. "Just follow this street straight then turn right at the intersection. If you keep straight you would normally go right toward the high forge but it is blocked by a fallen smoke pipe." The woman gave a wave and pushed her children toward one of the homes.


    Su and Onyx moved forward and soon reached the intersection. However, Su was curious about how bad the damage was ahead and took a look. She found more than just a fallen smoke stack. There was a huge hole in the ground exposing the maintenance passageways for the steam pipes. It was a huge repair job that would block the way for some time. "I am really worried that the dwarves will be busy with repairs for some time. I wonder if Walker can help with his earth magic." Su and Onyx chatted about how they would have Walker suggest his assistance when they met with him.
