"I guess you will have a partner for some time then. The earth spirit will most likely stay with you. Maybe you will modify your hammer to be a dwelling tool for it." Walkers\' suggestion ignited more fire in the elder but he shook his head.

"First I need to make those little ladies gloves. Then I will ask you for you to teach me to speak to all spirits. After that, you should make sure Grey is working well. I feel like he might get too caught up teaching those apprentices. Sometimes he gets very focused and has hours of lectures all at once. It\'s either all or nothing with him." The elder knew Grey well and expected that he would still be lecturing. 

Walker knew that this was definitely the case since Grey had still been speaking when he left Grey\'s work shop. He had learned something interesting but needed to return to the elders\' forge. "I feel like we will need to wait some time for the golem to be ready. But I don\'t mind. If we do that we can relax and explore a little more here before heading home. I think we will be pretty popular as we introduce everyone to the spirits." Walker knew that this would happen no matter what. The dwarves were not familiar with spirits and it was best that the kings understood what was happening. 

"I think that Zephyr and I are going to the crossbow crafters\' workshop again. We want to see how the bow works. Don\'t worry though. We won\'t use the bows\' skills until we are comfortable and absolutely need to." Gil saw the chance to head out on his own and Zephyr rested on his shoulder as they left. 

"If that is the plan then I should go and check on those injured. I want to be sure my help is no longer needed." Su had been worried about those who were still unable to recover enough and wanted to be sure that she had helped enough. The earth spirit rested itself within the earth dwelling shield and they were off as well. 

"Don\'t look at me. My new alchemy partner needs a dwelling so we can better make potions and punch monsters." Remey wasn\'t sure if Walker was looking at her because he thought she was leaving too or just because he was going to ask her what her plans were. "After I will set up a plan for the two dwarves who will leave here with tools and head toward the location the new city will be built. They and a few of their personal golems are going to map out the start of the alchemy guild building." Remey was proud of her forethought and Walker couldn\'t deny it was smart to send the dwarven alchemists ahead since they would have the best input on how the alchemy guild could be built for potion making efficiency. 

Midnight and Onyx were currently enveloped in conversation with the fire spirit. Since Midnight could now easily speak to it, Onyx could also through her. It was very interesting for Midnight to play the role of translator instead of Onyx and she was enjoying it. The shifting shadows under Onyx were only interrupted when the dark spirit would look about. However, Walker had a feeling that it was finding itself at home. 

"Do you guys need help with the forging?" Walker wasn\'t sure if the elder would need help since Remey and the alchemy fire spirit were there. 

"Hmm? No no. Go and make sure Grey is working hard." The elder just shooed him away and with the spirits remaining closer than ever to Walker he went back toward Greys\' work shop. 

With that, Walker followed the path he had felt like he had gone back and forth between too many times now, to Greys\' work shop. He could hear much more noise and the sound of tools before he actually reached it. The fire spirit that had the dwelling core was still with Midnight but the spirits that had decided that they would go with him were hanging around him full of curiosity. 

The scene that welcomed him was radically different. Grey was rushing around taking part after part from his apprentices. There were multiple directing each other while looking at his blue prints and handing off the parts. Grey was moving so fast that Walker wasn\'t sure what was going on. All he knew was that the dragon style golem had radically changed. 

Instead of a skeleton of metal bones, there were still cooling parts and gears that made up most of the body. Walker could see the cyclops flame staff already in place with multiple runes carved near it. The base of the tail had already been created and on the end, Walker found that a retractable barb was placed. Same with the claws and teeth. 

The scales were piled up on tables nearby. "Master Grey said that he was going to focus. He called all of us to watch how he worked at his full pace. If you want to watch you are free to but be careful of the movement. One mistake can ruin a part." The apprentice that stopped to warn Walker had a few small tools in his hands which were quickly snapped up by Grey as he carved some runes in to a gear. The entire process was mesmerizing.
