Master Of None

The movements of the light dragons had halted. They did not know who Walker was and Rise had yet to say anything. She was just glaring at Walker like he was a rat that she had just found in the food pantry. ”Your village is very different from what I expected to find.” Walker’s tone was flat. Not at all showing any real interest.

This seemed to be enough to force Rise to have to respond. ”You did not send a notice that you would be visiting. Why is it that you have come here?” Rise still sounded dignified, however, Walker could feel the frustration that he was there. The mana in the air had become still as well. All Rise had to do was manipulate the light elemental mana and the light elemental wings Walker had made would dissipate.

”I had no time. I expected you to come when I sent the other royal dragons invitations to visit Genesis or when we needed help. I believed that the upstanding light dragons would come to assist those races they live so far above.” The slight mocking was enough to make Rise a little more frustrated. A little angrier. No one spoke to her this way.

”Luckily, we discovered more ancient knowledge and even freed the demon race without you. We are going to be focusing on a few other problems next. One involving the wyverns. You may want to participate in this one.” The way Walker said this made it seem less of an option and more like a mandatory requirement.

”My village and territory is pristine. I have no reason to leave here to purify any other territories. It would be a lot of time lost on becoming a purer light dragon. How could I steal away those things from my elders and children.” This was a nice but fake reasoning. The other light dragons were powerful enough.

”These few dragons? Is this really all you have in your village? I was wondering why I was told that the other dragons have to deal with your rogue dragons. If this is all you have, then you must have sent a great many out of your village. And you have still yet to send any unwanted hatchlings to Genesis. They could be better than you there. Or is that what you fear?”

With the tiny bit of politeness being crushed, Walker asserted himself a step higher in the air than Rise. He started to manipulate all the elemental manas around him to change the wings from just light elemental mana. He wanted her to be forced to see the elemental manas joined. Forced to see him as the natural ryal dragon he represented.

”A disgrace would be giving these pathetic things to someone else. Do you not see that an impure dragon is not worth it? They could never represent the true strength of a dragon let alone the light.” This attitude was what the other royal dragons hated from Rise.

While the other dragons pursued their elemental purity as well, they did not completely shun the mixed dragons. They were able to accept them to a degree while also mixing their villages here and there. The steam dragon that had been birthed from current and Ignus’s villages mixing was considered rare but still weaker than a pure dragon. But still a dragon.

”If you do not wish to allow them a chance at life to become a dragon, then what is the point in having children grow from eggs in to adults at all? You throw your own kind to madness and death. They could be more. They could study the ancient runes within my mage tower and gain a better understanding than you in light elemental mana. I would say it would even take half the time. Since you lack the things I have in my home!”

”You would dare!” Rise was gravely insulted. Walker had just plainly said that he had better chances to do what she could do. That he could raise a weaker dragon to become stronger than her in half the many years she had focused on light elemental mana.

”I am THE light royal dragon. THE single most powerful elemental dragon! How could you arrive here and insult my purity in front of others? Is it a war that you desire human!?”

”War? I already fought a war without you. A dragon that can not stand with its race is the same as a rogue dragon. Do you not see that you were not there? That you are not able to represent your race any longer? A hermit hiding away to further their purity only becomes weaker while the world grows around them. My Genesis is a place where every royal dragon already desires a home.

They see that they have a future there. They see that they are going to be able to become stronger. Mordant and Ignus already have new breakthroughs in their elemental mana. Your opposite is going to overstep you. They will be more powerful than you shortly. That is why I am here, Rise! I am here to balance this elemental nature of yours and crush your idiotic belief that you are the only real dragon!”

Walker’s broken composure came out in a roar of grievance. His words were half draconic tongue and half human. They burrowed in to Rise like no other words ever had. This was not something she had experienced. Even the light dragons that once attempted to speak over her had easily been crushed after a few glares.

This fluctuation of all mana around Walker made the light dragons roar in anger back at him. They perceived him as a threat but still did not move without Rise speaking. They could not. However, they were also shocked. Completely held back watching the convergence of elemental mana. The changes of the eternal orb.

Rise was a single dragon out of all that had not been shown the powers that Walker was developing. The strength that he had that was more than a human should possess. The form that he could take that showed off a combination of dragon’s skills and manas.

As the elemental dragon aspect took shape, Walker was sure to make the elemental manas stronger than before. He forced them together and fused them in all shapes he could. The earth was forcefully pulled to make scales from the mountain.

The water was taken from the air and even the shadows moved around Walker. The large dragon head that was created was more than before. It had sharp light and ice fangs waiting to bite if need be. The claws were a mix of earth and flames. The wind whipping around the wings. The dragon aspect was able to show off the control that Walker had that was well above what the other dragons believed he should have.

”Can you not see that you are a piece of the whole? A single aspect of the natural order?” Walker’s words were harsh and filled with natural mana. He and Fleur had not hesitated to mix more natural mana in to the skills to make sure that they held more weight. To ensure that things were clearer.

Instead of coming at Walker, Rise was a little stumped. This situation was unprecedented. It stood out from everything she knew in life. The royal dragon court had already been something she had trouble accepting. Now this? How could she fathom it properly? No human should be able to do such a thing.

”If you are here for war, I will strike you down. You are not the same as I am-”

”War! Is that what you desire? A war between dragons when the wyvern are being conquered by three demons that do not care for other races? By three evil beings that would gladly shoot the dragons down from the air as pets for the rest of their lives?”

This was the clincher. Walker had not explained that there were three demons that were, in theory, going to conquer the wyverns and take them as their own strength. That they would easily topple the dragons next. They would be nothing more than pets if they survived.

”If you speak the truth.” The vicious growl proved that Walker had finally gotten words through to Rise. That she was finally seeing him as more than just a human.

”The truth is that you should come to be with the other royal dragons. Unite with the others and reap the bandits of doing so. Compared to what you could be, you are weak. Let me show you things you never imagined were possible. I swear on my title as royal dragon that you will see amazing things. If not, I will leave my village to you.” Walker put down his final foot. His mana allowing the elemental dragon aspect to fade while he held out a hand.
