Master Of None

”It looks like everyone is pretty much here. Just need-” Walker saw Leon walking in as he spoke. ”Then we are ready to go!” There was something about everyone being together that made Walked a little happier. The room just felt more alive with all the representatives there.

”So, how were the dragons? I passed by Gil on the way and he didn’t tell me a thing. And after I helped him and everything.” Leon shook his head teasingly. He was very interested to hear anything new as a distraction from the affairs of the merfolk. 

”Well, they are coming to visit. Some of them at least. Su seems to have convinced some in a similar standing with her. I have some connections now as well and they are sending some of their blacksmiths and runesmiths here. Not sure if the other royals will come. Potentially one of the royals will come by within a few years.” Walker didn’t want to say that they would come right away since dragons could take their time.

”They will certainly join in the battles at the coliseum. I want to test them the same they test us!” Scylla was mirrored by Midnight who was equally excited for the opportunity. The pair didn’t seem to need any more encouragement to keep up their antics.

”It is a very possible chance for them to arrive during competitions. I know from what I have heard that things had become more spread out the schedule. The adventurer’s guild is sending out their quests soon?” Su brought the topic back to tie things in. It fit well with the way the conversation was going.

”Then we should be prepared. Even if what we know is minimal, the dragons are powerful and will get a respectful welcome.” Markus Raven had taken things in stride. He was calm and organized, taking notes to pass on to King August. He was much more than the head of the treasury now. 

”There’s no telling when they will arrive. We will treat them the same way as anyone else that has equal standing here on the council. I made it very clear that everyone here is equal.” Su nodded along with Walker since she had been very clear as well. ”They also know this as my village so they will come to me first. It is odd, I know, but no matter what I said they called it a village and not a city. I think it just has to do with tradition. They have dragon villages, branch villages.” This was still not something that Walker fully understood but he just went with it because it was easier that way. 

”So this has to do with you being seen as a royal dragon, correct?” Alma wanted to be sure that it was all due to the standing that Walker had and that things would mostly revolve around that. 

”After he affirmed this with a nod, he decided it was best to explain that they may have more dragons coming to live with them. ”So, there are rogue dragons. They were once part of their society but they were cast out as hatchlings. Those that survive lose their minds to hate and are no longer of the dragon race. They are a very large problem for nearly every dragon village and we proposed a solution.” Walker saw the disbelief in all of their eyes. He knew that every single one of them did not expect this of the dragons which were so highly regarded by all the other races. 

”We will give them a home here. They will come and join Genesis. They will grow up here. Learn to be equals, and become more powerful than they were expected and destined to be. They will be the same as Midnight with families and more. They will not be here as a tamed monster. They will be dragons still but they will learn and grow differently. They will be proof that standing equal and learning from all races is more beneficial.” Su picked up where Walker had ended and Midnight looked as if she wanted to continue. She cursed herself for not shifting in to her dragonkin form and practicing language more. 

”We have already managed to get the royals working together with us and I believe that they will be able to work together even more. They had past events with nature dragons that seem to have had similar effects on their society. But it has been some time so they will take even more time to adjust and open up. But there are some that I believe will support it. What matters most, is the fact that there will be less rogue dragons causing danger and more hatchlings that have a chance to grow the way they desire. This is not a way to make Genesis more powerful. That will be up to the hatchlings. In the end, they will choose to stay or go.” Walker made the last part very clear. He did not doubt that everyone would respect this but he had to be sure he said it clearly.

”Midnight will take the lead on teaching them. She is the first to be growing here in Genesis and one of the founders as well. It will mean much more to any dragon hatchling to have her as a role model. I just hope that they are able to find their places.” Su had a lot of hope. The fact that there were hatchlings kicked from the nest hurts her deep down. Knowing that she could even play the smallest role in helping them made a world of difference to her. 

”Well, I agree. I think they will fit in pretty well. Just imagine a dragon miner coming up with diamonds and rare ores.” The king of the deep caves found this to be an exciting turn of events. He was all in on the idea immediately.
