Master Of None

”Miss, may I ask you a few questions?” The dragonkin that had guided Su had taken the courage to speak up and ask Su a few things. She had heard what Su was to Midnight and Walker but they had never met a guardian before. It was a very interesting meeting for her let alone other dragonkin. 

”Of course, Just ask away.” Su had no reason to ignore questions and she was led to their training area. She had been given so much information that the odds of her needing to ask questions were high as well. Both would be asking each other questions. 

”Are you truly a dragon champions’ guardian? That is a very highly coveted position to hold. To meet one is an honor.” There was a softer tone in the dragonkins’ voice. It spoke of excitement and amazement. 

”That is correct. I am a draconic guardian. I used to be a shield bearer until I reached certain quest requirements and was rewarded with a system upgrade. Then I passed out only to wake up with the system I have now. I have been spending a lot of time training with Midnight and the system reflected that. It’s odd to think that some time ago we had just received a hero title and were recovering in a tent where Midnight and I had rested together.”  Su couldn’t help but think of all the times after that day where she and Midnight had leaned on each other during a quest or while resting at home.

”It is an honor miss, I hope that we can learn from you during your stay here. The warriors should return at any moment from their hunt. I am sure they will be exceedingly glad to meet you. If possible, I will stay as well. It has been some years since I was able to fight.” The excited glint in the dragonkins’ eyes was more than Su expected. 

Most of the dragonkin had blue or green scales showing that they were right at home in these colder icy mountains. It also spoke to the species of dragon that they served under. However, the eyes that this dragonkin had were nearly sparking with lightning when they said they would be able to fight some. 

”Since you asked me, what system do you happen to have? I am unfamiliar with dragon kind and dragonkin kind.” Su was not afraid to admit her lack of knowledge. This was true for many of the races when it came to anything related to dragons.

”Of course miss, my system is draconic martial artist. I have one of the more common systems for dragon warriors and have been honored to serve directly under elder Adair. I was personally appointed with my sisters and brothers by our lord.” Su knew that a martial artist was similar to a brawler. They would use fists and kicks. However, a martial artist was more trained in a certain style. This would give them the additional strength and guidance to be more powerful than a brawler. 

”We have an alchemical brawler named Remey, she may come to train. As a martial artist, you may be able to battle with her a little better than some others. It could be very good for her training since she has been focusing on alchemy for some time now.” Su saw that this confused the dragonkin martial arts and spoke again. ”She gained a unique system when she upgraded from a brawler. It is very beneficial to the party and in my opinion, the world. She will accomplish a great many things.” 

”I believe you will accomplish just as much, if not more. I have heard of a draconic guardian defeating an entire village troop just to defend a hatchling champion after it had been threatened. There is plenty of history and stories of the draconic guardians standing above many other warriors. Even those trained to defeat guardians. The wide range of defensive skills marks them as ideal protectors of any and all things.” 

Su couldn’t help but smile hearing the incredible praise for the system she had. This was unexpected since she still had a great many questions about it. Let alone the fact that she was just now reading through a book that gave her more information on what exactly her system was known for. However, she would need to find a place to rest while at the training area she was now coming to. 

”Welcome to the training area for dragonkin warriors. There is a weapon storage in that building. The training ground is smaller compared to other villages so I do apologize. However, the space is enough to battle in matches if you so desire.” The space Su was brought to had large carved stone pillars along the edges. Some were wrapped with cloth to show they were for hand to hand techniques and skills. There were many scorch and frost marks showing that some breath attacks were used. 

What stood out most was the building with only three walls. It hosted a myriad of weapons all made of a strong looking alloy. Su was sure that this was similar to what the wandering blacksmith was finding in the forge he had been brought to. For her, however, it would be a good chance to test her shields. She had her twin shield and the earth dwelling shield with her so that she could get the most out of both styles of combat. Yet, she knew that there was plenty more she was about to learn. 

”I seem to lack a training partner. Would you like to join me for now?” Su extended a hand to the dragonkin who seemed to be staying in the area as Su’s guide until she had finished training. It just made sense for Su to train with her if that was the case.
