"That sounds like it should be a focus in a battle. You could push the border walls and hold them in the blink of an eye." Sirius was already seeing this as a permanent structure which Walker was sure to fix. 

"These earth structures can\'t stay forever. They aren\'t really stone or brick. They are just earth. As soon as enough water or attacks, in general, hit them they begin to fall back in to dirt or sand. It\'s all temporary." This seemed to take a little excitement from Surius but he still saw this as a huge bounty to a battle. 

"Brother has used this skill very well before, but he is not able to make incredibly complicated structures. The tower was simple but do not expect a castle." Onyx had grasped the meaning behind Walkers\' words and backed him up.

"Even temporary structures can set a line for an army or start a defensive formation. The ability to use this would save many lives and keep an advancing front steady. I also believe it could serve as perfect for fixing border walls or even holding a bridge." Sirius was still thinking of the many uses a skill like this had. The only thigh was that he couldn\'t just go out and use this skill. That fact made him wish he had some magical ability. 

"I am not sure I would ever go to participate in a war. I prefer peace to be honest. And that is what I will try and aim for. Anyways, this is the training area that most of the elf trainees use. I will ask the enforcer that guards it to take you to the spell swords." Walker waved top one of the nearby enforcers who gladly took the position of guide to one of the demi-human representatives. 

"I hope that you never need the skill for war then. Thank you for giving me some inspiration and leading me here. I will try to become more powerful as fast as Monty will." Sirius took his leave and descended in to the training area leaving Onyx and Walker free to go and find the other. 

"Hey Onyx, where did Midnight go? She was with us when we left…" Walker had been too focused on the conversation with Surius that he had missed the fact that Midnight had wandered off. This would be fine if it was anywhere else but since they were in a city that no one knew and that they were guests in Walker was worried that she may be getting in to trouble. 

"Brother, she saw some snacks and decided to stop on the way. She should still be there now." Onyx moved to lead Walker back the way they came and soon the smell of roasted vegetables came to his nose. 

"Midnight, I didn\'t realize you had stopped for food. What did you find?" He was equally hungry seeing this assortment of vegetables here. For some reason, the smell was very similar to roasted meat but there was none. 

"Hello sir hero. I was just about to serve your fellow hero a serving of the new menu item I have made. I am trying to prepare some things for when new races come to the city." The elf in charge of the food stall was in the midst of sauteeing some of the vegetables before they put them in to an oven to roast behind them. 

"I have to ask, what is that smell? They smell like they have roasted meat in them but I can not see any." Walker was feeling like he had found another amazing ingredient to bring home to his mother. 

"That would be the man eating trumpet plant I am using. They are plant type monsters but they have very soft vines. They are perfect for making a faux noodle and they release a lot of liquids to make a sauce with. I was curious if I could make them in to a street food and here is the first try." The elf handed a small plate to Midnight who took it in her mouth and sat next to the stall. 

"Can I try some too?" Walker couldn\'t hold back and pulled out some gold. 

"You think I would take gold from a hero who helped our people survive the slime menace? Please just take the second ever potion for free." The elf seemed very offended but Walker knew better than to eat free. 

"I wish to invest in your business. Please accept this payment for the future orders I will place when I visit your city." This put a smile on the elf\'s face because he knew that the hero was more than just a name. The title was well deserved. Walker also said this because he saws how fast Midnight was eating the dish and was glad she was finally eating things other than meat. 

Walker leaned in and whispered a little, "Can I buy some of those man eating trumpet vines from you? I think they will be very good for my little sisters\' diet." The stall owner discretely packaged up some of the vines and let Walker store them. Walker slid a few more gold over before sitting next to Midnight and sharing the impromptu meal. Onyx even decided to join in on the snacking.
