Master Of None

”This section of the wall was hit hard last week. We had a small group of demons with red eyes push through our defensive lines and charge at the wall. Some of them even ran right in to traps without a second of hesitation. We have never seen such things in this life. The madness seems to be all consuming.” The commander at the fifteenth section of the border wall was obviously troubled.

”I have gathered some information and that sounds like the world of the sin demon title holder Wrath. The skill they have seems to drive people mad with anger.” Walker knew that this had already been understood but it was better to be clear with it.

”That’s not even the half of it. I have lost seventeen men to that madness. They are still under the effects until they are forcefully subdued and brought across the wall. There were multiple injuries, mostly to themselves.” The pain on the commander’s face was for his men. He had watched people who lived to defend others hurt themselves and others. Their brothers.

”I understand, there are more healers, and adventurers on the way. Soon the first wave of reinforcements will be here. We are breaking in to the demon lands as soon as this madness issue is handled.” Walker had hopes that Clara would respond soon with word that Barry was coming.

”The current reports state that the thirteenth section of border wall have the highest concentration of demons and monsters coming toward them. We plan to send those that can fight that way. We will handle what we can here.” The commander showed the location on the map and curled the further point of gathering for maddened demons. We don’t have much of the demon lands mapped, but we have up to the first villages so we can guess their route of travel.”

All of this was very good to know. Walker was able to choose a place that he and the party to send troops and follow them in to battle. It was a rough challenge to imagine at the moment since they needed to deal with wrath first.

”I understand. I will let you continue your preparations. If you need anything tell me. We have plenty of supplies that we are bringing. They should be here in a few hours since they are moving at the fastest possible pace.” The commander grunted in acknowledgment before calling upon his soldiers. He had his own work to do.

”Ventus, I have to ask you a question.” Walker didn’t want to disturb Ventus with her children. He was still not fully aware of how she felt and acted. She might snap at him or have alternative feelings for him and Genesis.

”What do you need? I have already expressed my support here. If you need anything more it will come at a price.” There seemed to be a clear desire to gain more from Walker. Ventus knew that she was taking the time she could be spending in the air enjoying the freedom to be here. It was a hard thing to do for a wind elemental dragon.

”I don’t expect you to be affected by the madness that Wrath is using to control his army. But just in case I want you to remain high in the sky. Can you scout out the situations of the villages over the border wall? I need to know which ones are not in direct harm’s way so we can send troops there after dealing with the Wrath problem.”

”I did not expect you to ask such a thing. I believed I would be brought to battle. To fight a bloody war.” This made Walker open his eyes a little wider. He did not plan to push that on anyone.

”That would be an insult. I don’t want anyone to have to fight for blood. I want people to come together. I want them to cover each other’s weaknesses. That’s why I ask you for this. I need someone who can safely get the information. From there I will ask your children to deter the demons. You have the power to exist and keep people safe without fighting. Those villages will be able to start their growth free of oppression sooner than others.”

Out of all the things Ventus had been asked, she had not expected this. She was too used to the fighting and violence of other dragons that being offered something peaceful was alien to her. ”You are stranger than Mordant made you out to be. My children can do that when they will be unaffected by some madness skill. I will get your information. Just spend time with my children while I am gone.” Ventus effortlessly took off in to the air becoming a small speck in the sky.

As Walker turned around, he found the three pairs of eyes on him. He felt the realization set in that he was now responsible for three much larger wind elemental dragons that were not at all mature enough to be left alone. He had the ability to read the draconic language. However, he was not a master at all in speaking it. He wasn’t even sure if he would be able to understand what the dragons said since they had no bearing when it came to the human languages.

”Your mother has left me in charge. My family will be here soon but it will take them some time. Until then, want to show me what you can do?” The thought of bringing energy seemed the best. Walker could put some effort in to tiring the three dragons out so they would rest until Ventus returned with a multitude of information.

It was hard to tell if the three dragons knew what they had been told. Their mother had told them to stay with Walker but that was it. Therefore, they were more curious about him than anything.
