Master Of None

”The lava diving bats are trained to head directly to a small post for tamers that gather food near the lava fields that pour down from the volcanoes. Do not make loud noises or pull on their ears. They will drop you.” Elise was very stern. She had changed a few things to ensure that the party could ride the lava diving bats to the volcanoes, or at least as close as possible.

”Normally the flame elves will keep tamers at bay. But since you were invited you should be fine. Just don’t use us as an excuse if things go poorly.” Elise knew that the flame elves were very different from the elves he had met. They resided in the toughest landscape to live in along with keeping themselves separate by choice. They did not like strangers.

”Don’t worry. We will do our best. Thank you again for the help. This will save us days and days of travel time since the mountains would be hard to get over and in to the volcanoes.” Gil was very appreciative of the assistance.

”We will see what we can do to help you out when there. The flame elves are only speaking to Gil and I along with some enforcers. That should be a good small group to build a connection with without overwhelming them.” Alma was exceptionally positive about this. She didn’t expect the flame elves to look out for her first.

”These things are massive. I’m glad I came. I don’t think I have ever seen a bat like this.” Remey was completely in awe over the massive bats that she was looking at.

’Lave diving bats

These bats grow exceptionally large so that they can hold more strength in their wings. This allows them to fly through the air and the lava. Many of their lava bats hunt and consume lava dwelling fish. The thick skin they develop is extremely resistant to high temperatures. However, it can not often resist cold temperatures. They are considered a very rare triple elemental affinity monster but often live peacefully around other monsters.’

Walker was impressed with the appraisal. The bats could appear scary since they were fairly different than other bats align with their large size. But they were actually said to be peaceful for the most part. That simple fact made them very important to the tamers that could tame them. Amazing transport, peaceful, and rare elemental affinities that could help the tamer in many ways.

”Remey, are you sure you can leave the guild? You have the ending of the herb gathering competition and the start of the potion competition soon.” Gil wasn’t fully convinced that everyone should be going. It made sense that Su, Midnight, and Walker went. They were heading to meet the fire dragons. Then Alma and Gil were heading to the flame elven city. Onyx was also an odd one out but it was clear he needed an adventure to properly clear his mind from the recent stresses of life.

”Who do you think is going to look for rare fire elemental herbs as prizes for the winners? Not to mention the high fire elemental affinity potion, materials to make better cauldrons, and better tools.” The look that Remey gave Gil was more of a challenge. If he dared to speak out against her again she would be showing off her more recent training with alchemical flames.

”Do you want me to give Ignus one of the low tier afire affinity potions?” Walker knew the answer already but felt that Remey had been waiting for it.

”Yes, that would help.” Remey handed over five of them. The perfect amount to get Ignus and any other dragons that tried them hooked. ”By the way, Onyx and I made some plans of our own while we are in the area. We aren’t involved with the elves’ affairs like that and we aren’t dragons. We have spoken about personal matters we will work on.”

This made them all wonder but it appeared that Remey nor Onyx, would be sharing anything. ”As long as you both can handle it. I will make sure you have the potions you need and everything else.” Since Walker had all the potions along with spare gear, he wanted to ensure that Remey and Onyx Would be alright on their own later.

”You all know that you have to actually leave so that you can figure this out, right?” Elise was sure that they had all forgotten that they actually needed to get in the backs of the lava diving bats to go to the area they wanted to be. ”And how will you handle the heat too? The tamers can set you up with something pretty good there.” Elise saw more potential for the guide to win some points with the party.

”Oh, I’m glad you asked. We have water elemental rune bracelets along with the necklaces that Midnight got for us when we were in the dwarven city. Paired together, they should be able to handle the high heat and keep us safe. We won’t be swimming in lava but we will be ab;e to do what we need to do.” Su showed off the two items that they wore. She was proud to show off the very helpful gifts she had received over the time from Midnight and the wandering blacksmith.

”Just remember we promised the wandering blacksmith we would bring something back for him since he gave us the bracelets to go with the necklaces. Between the three groups we split in to, we should find something.” Walker reminded everyone while he hefted himself up on the back of one lava diving bat.

Midnight was very carefully getting on one since she was a dragon and could easily spook them. But the bats were very tough willed. They could swim in lava afterall and did not shy away from scary situations.
