Master Of None

The shouts of the guards were enough to make the entire party laugh. Alice was equally shaken but had managed to brace herself as Walker had said. Onyx found the panic of the hatchling abyssal serpents enough for him to fully focus on calming their worries. They were not comfortable with being in the air and preferred the safety of the shadows. However, they also felt safer around Alice who had been able to provide them with calming light elemental mana. In their eyes, she was some form of goddess that would be able to make the light come to them in any form. It was very adorable.

The time seemed to pass in the blink of an eye but that just came down to the fact that everyone had fallen deep in thought about what they had found. Of course, Onyx was distracted by the fact that he would be able to raise his fellow abyssal serpents while the heavenly serpents also made a comeback to the world. It would be a very large occurrence for everyone.

”Scylla, land here. That looks to be the dwarven golems that were working in the city.” Walker did not miss the lines of golems all set up in order. There were many dwarves moving about changing and adjusting them for battle.

”About time you got here. We are going to WAR!!! This filthy mine destroying bugs will know the fury of every dwarf from here to the mountains!” The king of the deep cave was roaring with energy and rage. The dwarves that heard him responded with shouts and stomps to the earth. Many were changing the mining and building equipment attached to the golems for battle attachments.

The party and the guards didn’t even have a moment to spare since they had arrived in this situation. ”Go and report directly to Clara, alright?” Walker sent the guard adventurers off since they looked uncomfortable and out of place.

”Look at me this time. I didn’t fall flat.” Scylla attempted to stand firm but was soon leaning On Su’s shoulders. Remey jumped in to hello and was already reaching for a mana potion on her hip. Walker nodded and would thank Scylla for the rush later. Right now there were more pressing matters to handle.

”Walker, Midnight, and I will go and see what we can do in the city. We can touch base with the other guilds to help out. I think we will trust the dwarves with this because they know best what is needed.” Gil was off with Midnight in tow.

”Damn right we know best. We have had these rotten bugs invade our mines before. They think we are making them a personal nest as a gift. Ha! We will crush every single one like all the other times they had dared.” The energetic response echoed slightly.

”Onyx, Alice. You do what you need to. Get the hatchlings settled and to the mansion or the cathedral. We can touch base later. Alice, make sure Onyx doesn’t work himself too hard.” The slight whisper from Walker was still heard by Onyx but he didn’t even flinch. Alice just smiled and gave a nod. She hadn’t done much during this adventure but she had mainly been there in support of Onyx. Now she would be able to live up to that a bit more.

While Walker began to explain the situation with Su to the king of the deep caves, Alice and Onyx were headed toward the cathedral. He wanted to get everyone to the room that the heavenly serpent was in. After that, he would make sure they had enough light elemental mana to eat and then rest. They had been through a lot in just the short time since they had hatched and seen the world.

”We will get them safe and fed. Then we can see about getting the other eggs. We should help the heavenly serpent eggs to hatch so that the one we have been helping hatch will have family too.” This was a certain thing for Onyx. he would not allow it to have even a moment without knowing that it had a family the exact same as it. Onyx had felt a sense of loneliness because he wasn’t sure if he was the last of his species, no one deserved to even imagine that for a second.

”Of course.” Alice assures Onyx, ”It will be my partner. Just like you and Walker. My brother or sister.” The tremble in Alice’s voice showed that she was fighting back her tears of joy. She had found a way to be like those she idolized but also a way for her to help. She wanted to be more than just someone who could sing. She felt useless until she had started to really go out of the city. She had been the one to help get people to the ocean faster to help the merfolk. She had been the one to help feed the heavenly serpent egg. And now she would be able to stand right by Onyx and help him raise his fellow abyssal serpents. She would not feel useless. She would not be just some healer with a sweet voice.

”You already are family to me, Alice. Thank you. You trained with me to stay on par with my family who I always feel I am behind. Now you stand with me finding others like me. We will help another like me. You train with all of us. You are much more than you think.” Onyx fell to nearly a whisper. He sped up moving a little faster. He didn’t want Alice to see the tears that had started to fall from his eyes. He had never cried before, but it had all finally caught up to him. The people that supported him and the people that would always be by his side. They were just too much for him at the moment.
