Master Of None

A flash of understanding went through Ignus’s eyes. He had heard of dragons using their flames in the forging process. He knew that the quality would skyrocket. But using the golden flames from a true dragon champion with a golden flame heart was unheard of. He was trying to melt something forged within golden flames? He couldn’t even comprehend how that would be possible.

However, he did not back off. It was not in a fire dragon’s nature to back off until he had used everything he had. Naturally, this meant increasing the natural fire mana around him and forcing it toward the circlet. What stunned Walker was the fact that Ignus had such amazing control over the fire elemental mana that none of the heat was felt around him. There was the feeling of moving mana but it did not influence the surroundings. Only someone who had trained constantly would have this level of control. 

”All talk. That circlet must be made specially for the fire element. Forget the addition of golden flames. I will show that my earth elemental mana can bend it to pieces.” Terron was next. He moved to grab the circlet while Walker smiled even more. 

”If you think you can bend something made by the best blacksmith in Genesis and hailed by the dwarves even though he is human, then so be it. It’s not like my champion used her earth elemental breath to help strengthen that either. And forget the unique forging method using earth elemental spirits, Oh wait, that’s the true spirit forging technique I am offering to teach all of you when you accept Genesis and an alliance with us.” Terron seemed annoyed to hear that Walker was making such demands, but Walker could see Current’s face twist in to a smile. He was impressed that Walker so easily threw around arrogance and his plans. 

Yet again, Walker witnessed amazing control of elemental mana. Terron caused the earth beneath their feet to crumble and meld around him. The pristine marble floors cracked as it moored by the newly placed circlet didn’t even crack. It seemed to bend with the earth elemental mana and stay firmly around Terron’s arm. Meanwhile, Ignus had silently moved back to his throne without a word. He did look at Mordant with a look of longing. It seemed he was jealous that Mordant had a spirit as a p[artner already to help purify mana. 

Seeing that everyone was more than convinced he held out the remaining boxes which were snapped up by the remaining royal dragons. ”Now, what was this about coming to your village and sharing knowledge? My dragonkin tend to live on the highest mountain closest to the light of the sun. It is a very far journey for them. I can only spare a few to protect my crafters. They specially make healing items. You know how light elemental mana is.” This was a slight test by Rise. She knew that mist would forget the battle potential of light elemental mana and had managed to prove the other royals wrong in this respect. 

”I happen to know an exceptional songstress and abyssal serpent who seem to do just fin in using it for combat. But if your dragonkin are unable to make the journey, maybe I can send some representatives. They should be able to climb your mountains without trouble. The dwarves may even tunnel up from underground given a few years.” Walker knew that it was some form of test because he could not expect a royal to be so misguided with their own elemental mana. 

”Terron, I swear if you don’t fix that floor I will melt you.” Ignus started arguing with Terron at that moment distracting Rise, but Walker could tell he had claimed a small victory. 

”This alliance you want. Or have? Why should we bother with it? I can just come and claim the crafting knowledge that you have. What other benefits would there be?” Ventus spoke up, drawing all attention back to Walker. 

”Knowledge between the races. A chance to change things from the constant boredom I’m sure you face through long lived lives in seclusion. The fact that your dragonkin live shorter lives and could become more powerful. The fact that we are currently removing corruption from the demon race to free their oppressed people. The fact that we have looked in to the past and mixed it with the present to make a better future. The fact that there are multiple title holders already committed to Genesis. And to add on, a ruler uniting the elves yet again. It is a city that will change the world. This continent is just the start of uniting everything.” 

His words were not exaggerated or blown out of proportion. Walker spoke calmly and listed off some of the things that came to mind first. He could not seem to think of anything that could not be achieved by Genesis. The potential he believed it had was dwarfed by the potential it truly had. There were really no words that could actually share what Genesis really was and would be.

”In the name of pure water, Current supports the birth of a new royal dragon and their village of natural mana. May Genesis rise to stand among us under the high history. May natural mana return to the court and the elemental mana fuse yet again.” Current didn’t break eye contact with Walker. He had seen and spoken with those sent to Genesis. He had made an informed decision and already accepted that the world was changing. He would go with the flow of water and be part of it. 

”In the name of pure light, Rise will support…

”In the name of pure darkness, Mordant will support…

”In the name of pure air, Ventus will support…

”In the name of pure fire, Ignus will allow the keeper to decide.” 

”In the name of pure earth, Terron will allow the keeper to rule upon this.” 

Only two seemed to resist Walker but they allowed the keeper to name the final decision. Walker could only look behind at the large door that led toward the origin of the voice he had heard prior.
