Master Of None

”I don’t think we can leave Remey alone when there are herbs to gather. Even Onyx doesn’t seem to be able to hold her back.” Walker returned to the tamer outpost with Su and Midnight. They had a very uneventful journey back but that was a good thing since they were focusing on the fire and poison resistance.

”It’s not just him, it looks like the tamers were no help either. Well, no help to you since it’s you carrying it all.” Su bumped Walker’s shoulder. She rarely teased him but this was a little funny.

Remey had raided the outpost finding many herbs unique to the lava lands. She was basically a kid in a candy shop. She had surrounded herself with multiple small crates of herbs that were feed for monsters. The tamers had an excess of all of these and had found it fairly amusing that Remey was so interested.

By the end of her raid, Remey had collected over forty different herbs to experiment with or to grow in controlled environments to produce what she needed. She had even found a few crag tree seeds which she had desired more than some of the other herbs. She still had the flower petals in mind for a few potions.

”We tell you to come back here and you stole all of the tamed monster’s food?” Walker didn’t want to explain what had happened right away. He wanted to ensure that Remey was in a decent mood.

”What else do you think will happen when you tell me to come back here then take a million years? Why did we even need to come back anyways.” Remey was not going to allow Walker to skirt the subject.

”Yes brother, what is the problem? Are we going to leave now because of some issue between you and the fire dragons?” Onyx worried that somehow the relationship between them and the fire dragons had suffered. The potential issues that could come from this were all too clear.

”No, it was Gil and Alma who had trouble…” Walker explained the situation carefully. Onyx was noticeably calm. But the look in his eyes showed more emotion than he would admit. The fact that his family had been at risk by a false king that could care less for his people was an outrage. Onyx had grown up to see people change and become better, to hear that someone had fallen so far was ridiculous.

”Remey, are you alright?” Su was looking at Remey wondering why she had not moved to charge toward the flame elf city.

”Gil already stuck it to them. He literally blew away all the lies they were showing. Then Walker showed them the error of their watts. I don’t have to go and beat them up. But if they try to come to Genesis I will happily show them what we are like to those who oppress their people.” Remey balled her fist to make the point clear. But she was more impressed by the fact that Gil had been able to get so close with Zephyr.

”You might be able to.” Walker saw right through Remey. He could tell what she had begun to think. It was too easy. ”If your alchemy fire spirit can grow in to a grand fire spirit then maybe it will be a new named spirit. I don’t know the situation with the current named grand fire spirit but who says that an alchemy fire spirit and a regular fire spirit are the same things? They could both be named by the world.”

”Who says I was thinking about that?” Remey pretended that it wasn’t what she had been thinking about. But Su saw that she was smirking a little behind her false anger.

”On another note, we knew you needed to get back to genesis and we managed to invite Ignus over. He will come in a week with two hatchlings. I want to get Mordant ready for him to arrive too. Having two more hatchlings will be a big deal but having three of us royal dragons might be dramatic.” Walker wasn’t sure what antics might occur with Ignus’s fiery attitude added to Genesis.

”I would be more worried that they are going to fight over the alchemists I have in the competitions! They might try and steal them away to make affinity potions for them. I need to ensure that every single one of them is registered for the guild before they compete.” Remey was sure that she would find promising talents. But what she had forgotten about was the fact that any alchemist could be robbed from the guild if they do not register.

It was not illegal to perform alchemy outside of the guild. Anyone could do it. The only issue was the fact that the potions would not be alchemy guild approved and therefore they may have negative effects. There was also the stigma that they could be cursed.

The alchemy guild allowed genesis building officials to keep them under a microscope. It was Remey’s idea in the beginning so that any future leader of the alchemy guild would not abuse control of potions and safety.

While Walker stayed with Remey to store away the many small crates of herbs. Su was already preparing the tamers to allow them to leave. The very same lava diving bats would be taking them home since they had been resting after the arrival.

Onyx was telling Midnight all about their search for herbs and the golem crabs they had found. But Midnight had thrown her own account of the dragon village at Onyx. Both were jealous of what the other had done but were more excited to see what they would do with the newfound experiences. But one thing that left a decent imprint on Onyx was the resistance training. He had not been doing so and felt that it was another aspect he needed to focus on to keep up with his older sister.
