Master Of None

When Walker woke up he was surprised to see that the soldiers were much more energetic. They had been incredibly stressed that the demons were hurt and not going to be able to survive their escape. Now that they had some food and had recovered, the demons were even starting to open up a little.

This new information was a massive insight in to the current state of the demon lands. ”One of them was telling me that after some of the sin title holders had been sent out that things became very strict. Some people even refused to leave their homes unless it was life or death.” The soldier in charge of this squad was sharing everything he had gathered.

”That’s not a good sign. We need to start liberating the villages and make it in to the main demon capital city.” Walker was not happy to hear that the problems were escalating.

”I feel the same, however, this may be harder than we believe. They have seen many demonic monsters controlled with magic being guided toward the border. It is not advisable to do anything without proper support. We should be able to learn more about the other sin title holders. They are feared but the people do know of them.” The soldier made the promise to speak with the demons more.

Any information about the corrupt demons that were forcing their will upon the people was helpful. Especially since taking them down would be more important than anything within the war. ”I just hope that when those titles resurface that they are used for better things than what they are used for now.” Walker couldn’t believe that the sin demon title holders were forced by their title to do evil deeds. He had some hope that they could do good.

”I just finished checking with the healers. They said that they could stay here and make the trip back to the farming village in another few hours.” Alice and Su came up to Walker. They were convinced that the situation here was well handled.

”That’s good. We can get Remey and Gil to head out then. I’m not going to lie, Remey seems pretty popular with that group of demons.” Walker could see that Remey had managed to get a few of the demon children talking. They were even starting to run around a little bit to the surprise and joy of the adults.

”I wouldn’t be surprised if they are like her siblings. Most of the city knows that your party members are from every facet of Diamond. A well off family with illness, an orphan, a farmer boy, a guards’ son, and two monsters that have proven to become an esteemed dragon race and an intelligent being waiting to bring back their race.” The soldier left after saying this. From his tone, it was just common knowledge.

”I feel like I need to stop being surprised about these things. It’s always weird to hear that people know us so well. But to be fair, they gossip a lot. We are idols to some people.” Walker held back a little laughter. He was struggling to wrap his mind around all this.

”I don’t mind them knowing about us, Brother. They have to know about the way that Genesis was founded and where everything started. It makes sense for people to realize that even they can be great.” Onyx had fully woken up in time to hear what the soldier believed. He took great pride in the fact that every citizen, even those away from Genesis, knew who the party was.

”Well, let’s go get Gil and Remey.” Su went off to get Gil who was going over some of the monsters in the area that they had seen so far while Walker and Onyx went to get Remey. Midnight was still resting by the fire and would be leaving with them soon.

”Remey, I hate to stop you from your game. But we need to get moving. We are going to set up that resting spot for the next group of soldiers and refugees.” From Remey’s face, Walker saw that she didn’t really want to leave. However, she toughened herself and turned to the group of demon children.

”Listen up, my little brothers and sisters are in Genesis. When you get there you should find a few. Some of you have some pretty good systems that they could use by their sides. And you three, you will find your systems pretty fast. I am willing to bet on it. Just don’t run around too much.” The children didn’t seem unhappy seeing Remey go. They were too used to people leaving. But when she promised they would see her siblings they brightened up a little. They had started to trust Remey enough to believe her words.

”I hope Remey didn’t cause you too much trouble. She didn’t start any fights, right? Those knuckles she has are for-” Remey punched Walker in the shoulder causing a few small smiles.

”And that means we are leaving. Be good. Look for me when I get back. I will give you all a tour of the alchemy guild. If you want one when you get there go to the staff and ask for Trish. Tell her that guild master Remey said you are a special guest.” The children watched Remey and Walker leave.

,m ”You know you should open an orphanage too right? I know you have already talked to the high priest about adding it on to the cathedral. If you just start building one it would make the church and the alchemy guild better partners. Plus, it would be much better than anyone else that funded it.” Walker knew that Remey understood why he was saying it. The high priest and she had experiences that would make them more passionate about such things.

”I’ll think about it when we save some of their parents.” Remey had a stern look of determination, she didn’t want to let them down.
