2052 2052. Expanded Marsh N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Shaping the world felt wrong. In Walker''s mind, he could say that he didn''t want to change the way that nature flowed. It felt wrong. Even the mana felt somewhat unwilling. However, that was just part of what he felt was wrong. He could sense that the manas around were struggling to flow in general with how much the entire area had changed right away. Especially since there had been a lot of corrupted mana that was used all at once to create a wall of bones bing stone, raise a ruin from the water, and even corrupted monsters around here. Beyond that, there was the simple fact that this area had been bathed in mana to force that corrupted and chaotic mana away. It had changed the growth rate and ecosystem as a whole already. Therefore, the mana was not able to settle and begin finding the flow of how it should be moving. Therefore, Walker focused on the earth mana with much more mental strength than before. He felt that he had to use the sands that had been uncovered and washed up with the massive wave of saltwater to be able to create what should be a marshnd. He also decided to use it as a way to create a path to these ruins. The simple t salt water area had already begun to allow thin pools of salt water all over. This caused some of the monsters and animals around to congregate within them. Most too afraid to move around or show themselves. They didn''t even fight their predators or prey that were right beside them. That Was just to show what happens when it came to trauma. Even nature could feel trauma and change the ways that it acted to protect the very fabric of where it lived. How it survived. This had prompted many of the tamers guild members present to begin their efforts. While they often did not work together or were used to their own ways, they easily banned together with many of the genesis forces much more fluidly when they saw these issues. Many of the monsters were guided out of the dangerous areas where the mages were working. Many were easily moved using other methods, the tamered monsters of the tamers. This process is a little harder since the monster tamed were not necessarily as delicate and the tamer were. However, it proved sessful as the time went on. This was one reason that the earth mages were so confident in working with Walker. They already knew that with their mana being gathered toward him, that he was able to utilize it much more clearly and in a defined manner. This was simply because they had smaller control of mana as mages versus Walker who had control over the earth mana in a way that worked with other manas around it. The eternal codex was also massively boosting the abilities to gather manas and manipte it. Walker had his heart and soul bound to this item. He was sure that no matter what, that the eternal codex would always work best with anything he did. Hence, he pushed himself a little more in this situation. As the sand condensed and raised slightly, the ces that marsh gasses and other bushes could grow only became more plentiful. Each section mimicked the way that the marshnds were when Walker had arrived. He was just building a temte for them to expand.


    The ces where the waters coulde in and around the ruins instead of flooding them waspletely controlled by the marsh that was being created here. Since the water woulde in with the tide, the pools needed to be deeper with a propeller flow. This was also for the monsters and animals. They would need to be able to dig in to the underlying sands which would create new flows of water and manas. They would even be able to tap in to the naturally flowing underground water ways that the marsh was known for. A hidden and unique ce full of life. When the paths of sand were shaped, Walker began pushing soem fo the sand up in toa denser stone. A solid path to walk right to the ruins of the vampire castles that were being changed from a deathly depressing ce in to a slowly growing wilderness. The ruins were still clear, but smaller sections of it had blossomed in to nts. Greenery matching the nearby area. That was all thanks to Alma taking the lead to rebirth the ruined area known only for the envement of the vampire race at this point. It is being reborn so that nature could wash away the evils that had happened there. Feeling that there was a better chance to change things, Walker called on the natural mana around. The manas that had seemingly been in disarray nearby suddenly took that as an invitation. There was a flow able to be established because of the changes to the sands. One that would have taken generations to happen after the stagnant water had broken down the ruins that they surrounded. After the area had been poisoned for so long. That was the step that was skipped. Instead of a toxic bog of salt water and rot, this area had been changed to prevent that step in natural reformation. Now, there was an environment where the natural flow could be established. Where the pants and animals of the entire area could explore so that they could begin making this what it should be. "It''s very amazing to watch all this happen. To know that as mages, we can even shape the world." one mage spoke, many others agreed right away. The reason that they felt this was simple, they had been earth mages. Just studying earth mana and trying to gain knowledge. Not using that knowledge for much other than more studying. With Walker as their guide of sorts, they were able to see why they studied. What they could achieve if they were to reach higher levels of elemental understanding. Especially if they pursued the ways of nature besides their ways of earth maniption and learning. It would normally take years to cause a change with mana like this. Earth mages could have gathered and worked for years to do all this. But the child, not so much anymore, in front of them had many achievements. Achievements that caused many to look ahead at unrealized potential that they could also reach. "I need a little help. The smaller inds of sand where we can allowrge marshnd bushes to grow need to be built up. On the edges of where we are working." Walker brought the attention to the edges of the areas they had just reformed. These ces were the roughest and would cause an interruption for water flow and for manas. Therefore, if he split the groups up, they could all focus on making this a seamless transition. Some areas had already been connected allowing for the flow of water from the marshes already. That water was causing some of the pools to form and flow which was exactly what was needed. Whoever, it also showed the issues present. ces where the water was being stopped. Where whirlpools formed. Where water shed and became choppy. This was everything that ended up being changed by the earth mages. They were replicating nature after all. They had to be observant and feel what was right. It was only bing easier as Walker pushed them to sense the ways that earth wanted to flow. That the natural mana also had a say in this. As it only settled where it felt it should be. Saying that the mana had a mind of its own was simply too littlepared to what was actually happened. The world flowed as its own entity. What they were doing was just helping it maintain that flow as it wanted. Those witnessing it could sense all of that. Could feel that the manas around them were beginning to flow as they should flow. This only doubled up when there was arger shaking. The sands pulled in from deep in the ocean by Terron had just begun to condense and be a wall of sand stone that would cover and be more solid. It was taking the ce of where the bones and begun to turn to stone. The undead that had been used as simple materials were not being wasted. They were being put to rest somewhere where they would be able to help the very area that they were taken from. A way to calm their souls so to speak. To return them to nature and even protect the nature that they had been brutally taken from. This sight filled Walker with even more determination. Determination that pushed aside his headache he gained from using too much mana. The natural mana also worked to calm him and refocus him. There was a great deal of work to do still. …
