The remainder of the ceremony had been short. Walker had left after Gil had started to speak with the elders in depth. Walker felt that it was a moment that Gil was meant to take alone so that he could closely bond with the elves. There was also the fact that Walker could tell that Alma wanted to spend a little time alone with Gil. It was clear that their relationship might change based on this.
"Midnight, I know the hatchlings are tired, but how do you still have energy?" Midnight had returned to the mansion and even after a night's rest, she was still awake. The dragon hatchlings had slept clear in to the day.
"Sister says she feels like she doesn't need any sleep because she hasn't been training as much." Onyx was just like Midnight, he had dropped the abyssal serpent hatchlings off at the cathedral before returning and staying up all night with Midnight.
"You both need to rest or train more then. We don't have anything going on immediately other than the crafting competition starting in a few hours." Walker wasn't going to push them to do anything they didn't say they had been missing out on.
Midnight's response was an angry huff, "Sister says that she has planned to help someone in the forging competition. I wonder who?" Onyx couldn't seem to get Midnight to admit who she was going to help. However, Midnight decided that she couldn't be there anymore and left the room.
"Well, that's a surprise. I know that the dragon golem and fire elemental spirit was asked to help stoke the fires along with a few fire mages, but Midnight too." Walker was considering who may have been able to convince her. A few people came to mind, but none really stood out.
"I just wonder who will be taking which prizes. From what I have been told by others, there will be ten shop rentals available." Onyx had already gathered a decent amount of information about the rewards.

"I take it you heard about the crafting material rewards, right? There will be five quests that the top five best created items will win. That means they can request to the adventurer's guild any item they want. The crafting guild will pay for it." Walker had heard this himself and was watching Onyx nod along.
"Let's head out early, I think we can see a few interesting things." Walker decided to leave earlier than he planned. He wanted to catch up to Ignus and Mordant who should be leaving the mage tower any moment. He was sure that Ignus would be interested to see Midnight forging with a blacksmith. There were also some crafters that were able to use true spirit forging.
"Brother, what else do you think we will see? I have a few things for myself that have been made recently, but I am saving them for the battles." Onyx had seen many ideas being passed around. Especially since the wandering blacksmith had been majorly busy with blueprints. Many of the other blacksmiths had come to ask him to refine their designs due to complicated orders. It was pure profit.
"I would not be surprised if someone has figured out more of the true spirit forging. I think there are a few carpenters that even learned to speak to water and earth elemental spirits by using the scrolls. They had the gold to buy them so they bought many and got lucky enough to get the skill." This was more a rumor than anything. Yet, Walker just felt that it was correct.
"If that is the case, I look forward to seeing it. There are too many things that could come of that.' Walker agreed with Onyx. The two could chat for hours about a tiny percent of what could be done with spirit crafting in every aspect of crafting.
What was truly impressive though, was that many people were developing deeper relationships with elemental spirits. If it was just crafting, for now, it was a major improvement. That way the elemental spirits wouldn't suffer another dormant period where they would have to crystallize and wait to absorb mana. They could work with the races to grow stronger.
The streets were surprisingly calm for the day being half over. It was something that made both Walker and Onyx curious about until they realized that all the shops selling crafted goods were closed. Every single shop owner or crafter of some sort had closed up to go and participate or watch the competition. "This might be busier than I thought.
The alchemy competition was more specific for certain systems than others. That meant it was not a fully packed stadium so that people watch the arenas. Now, there were more crafters in Genesis which meant that there would be more people in the stadium.

"It looks like the dwarven golems are on display outside!" Walker was surprised to see this. It was a brilliant idea so that people could become more familiar with the dwarven golems. Many different types were displayed. There was even an entire row of different monster based golems.
"Come take a look! The wolf golems are a pack type monster made in to a golem. Perfect for patrolling your crops and capturing pesky rodents!" There were many dwarves calling out the uses of certain golems. Walker was sure they would be making a great deal of gold today.
"Onyx, there's even a golem made to copy a giant swamp python." Walker pointed at the golem showing Onyx that it was similar to him.
"Brother, that golem is too small. I am bigger than it is now." Walker felt surprised again. Onyx had somehow managed to have another growth spurt without him knowing.
"In that case, then it's a baby python golem." Onyx pretended not to think Walker's joke was funny. He didn't want to just give in.
