2469. Changes in Power

"Mordant, I didn't think that you would ask for me so soon." The curiosity in Onyx's voice was clear since he wasn't making any effort to hide it. 

When he had found that Mordant returned to rest near the naturally formed dark elemental rune, Onyx had been glad. This meant that everything was handled with the appearance of witches and the forging of an alliance with them. 

If there had been any issues she would have gone back to help Walker. He would have sensed the need through their bind. Instead, he felt there was confidence and accomplishment. Having Mordant here just shared some information and assurance. 

"I returned to rest here and understand the mana affinity I have even more. The newest race that will join Genesis understands mana like the naturally formed runes better but not as a pure form, instead as a mixed form with other manas. It was strange."
