Master Of None

”Now that it is all figured out. Please allow for them to have a tour of the village. They will need to know how a village operates and you are going to give them the information.” Adair moved to gather some papers and a dragonkin began to direct them out of the carved cave. Illia walked behind them with her head still lowered. Walker had a feeling that every dragon that was not a royal would take on this action out of respect. 

”It has gotten late. Unlike the dragonkin, a dragon can stay awake for weeks if needed.” Illia was going to suggest that Midnight take the tour and Walker sleep. However, Midnight responded with a few growls. ”What do you mean you sleep every night with them? That is not normal, a dragon will be awake constantly in the first few months of life. The years after that two or three hours are needed at most.”

”I hate to tell you this, but Midnight sleeps more than any of us. Especially after she eats some of the bones and elemental mana crystals we gather.” Walker just shrugged and thought about the blue koi that they had caught and if eating the water affinity monsters’ bones would help her with her elemental breath training. 

”How many? Does she need to so that she will process it? That’s not normal. What were her parents’ bloodlines?” Illia was surprised to hear this because normally a hatchling would eat and eat and eat without needing to rest too much. They would usually run around more curious than cats and the only way to get them to stop was when their parents were extremely strict. 

”I don’t really know, she east them pretty much whenever she wants. We have plenty in my storage.” Walker proved his point by pulling out a darkness elemental crystal and tossing it to Midnight who chomped it to pieces in none bite. 

”Her father was a skeletal dragon and mother a dark dragon. We figured that much out but that’s clear on her scales. The champion bloodline was more of a surprise when our systems upgraded. It was pretty lucky that she had it mixed in to her blood. And yes, she does sleep every time she eats them. But one shouldn’t be too much for her.” Midnight huffed a few times in agreement since she wanted to keep exploring and napping would stop her from that. There was a small growl though that Walker was able to interpret as her wanting more food. He couldn’t tell her no and tossed her some jerky which was gone faster than the darkness elemental crystal. 

”So her father was a skeletal dragon. That might explain it. That’s very rare. Dark and skeletal work well together but that would mean both are exiled dragons. A dragon was born with a remnant of champion bloodline from two exiled dragons. What a world.” This was an amazing thing to Illia. She even stopped in her tracks behind the two. 

Both Walker and Midnight were unsure why this was so amazing but from what they gathered, skeletal dragons were lone wolf types that rarely interacted with other dragons. The fact that one had interacted with an exiled dragon made it a big deal. Not to mention that skeletal dragons were also very battle oriented. All Walker and Midnight could gather as that she had been more powerful than other dragons to start with her bloodlines. When the champion bloodline was activated by the system then she had gotten even more powerful. Overall, it was a win. 

”We were headed to the garden right?” Walker pointed at some very large and small carved steps. It was clear that they were mainly carved for the dragonkin who could not fly normally due to their wings being too small. 

”Yes, that is the way to the garden. It has been unkempt for seventy five years. It was the first thing to be built when the village was founded. Unlike a main village, we are a branch village. We are here to grow certain herbs and procure certain materials from the main village. But because of this, we have access to them.” Illia was very proud to be part of the branch village. It also explained why there were only two dragons in it. 

”A garden that has plenty of herbs that only grow in high places. Remey may be going crazy up there.” Walker began to worry about the dragonkin that had guided Remey and what others may be witnessing. 

Illia was still in her own thoughts while they climes the perfectly carves steps. Wakker noticed a green blue colored moss while they climbed prompting him to use his all around appraisal skill. 

’Creeping frost

The is a moss that has long lived in cold climates. The colder the weather the faster it will grow. It is an attractive color that causes many to reach out and touch it. The poison it carries mimics frost bite and is completely resistant to normal frost bite cures. The only cure for it is a purifying potion or a purifying magic skill. Water dragons often consume this so that they can temper their bodies against the cold.’

Walker quickly withdrew his hand from the moss he was going to touch. He cursed himself for not heading one of Remey’s lessons with harvesting herbs. Never touch brightly colored herbs unless you know what they are. 

”I will have some of that set aside for you. Your champion will benefit from eating it.” Midnight heard Illia and was a little excited at the potential for another new snack. Walker just shook his head and would wait to see Remey at the top. ”We will also do flight training when we reach the top. The wind is soft today so it will be ideal.” Midnight was even more excited t hear this. The potential to fly sooner was extremely attractive to her.
