Master Of None

Neither the two hands of the empires nor the other angels touched the food. However, they did seem to be attracted to the scents. Since this was the case, Walker’s group did not eat either, however, it was clear that they all were ready to eat if it was a possibility. This was mostly due to the journey taking a toll on them but also because if they did not it would be a waste of food.

There seemed to be other interests that the hand of the Fel and Rize kingdoms had. They had seen Onyx’s shape before he entered the embassy but were clearly caught up in the fact that he had changed his shape and become smaller. He was still larger than he liked to be though since he was curled up next to Walker instead of on his shoulders.

There were also looks toward the royal dragons and Midnight. Especially since midnight had also taken her dragonkin form without even batting an eye. It was so similar to the way that the powerful wyverns were said to be able to take a humanoid form. Yet, the more the higher ranked angels looked, the more they saw that these were not wyverns.

The simple fact that they were looking at beings that had been written in ancient books made them wonder. Was every fairytale that had been written about extinct dragons true? They constantly second guessed themselves trying to figure out if there was really a few dragons sitting in the embassy or if this was just some grand illusion caused by shadow cats, illusion clouds, or any other monster.

It made Walker amused to think how the angels would react if they were seeing the merfolk or the dwarves in higher numbers. The dwarven golems had more or less stayed with the ships so that they could help the village and guard the ships. But there were a few with them, they just didn’t stand out so much since they had been the smaller golems that could be operated without the dwarves.

Without much warning, every angle stood slightly taller and the air felt heavier. Walker could feel that the mana was being pulled away from them and so could everyone else. This had to be the angels coming to speak with them. ”It seems we don’t have to wait much longer.” The strength was quickly covered up and the mana calmed down as two figures with furled wings walked in.

One had on carved pure white armor while the other had the opposite carved black armor. ”Archangels of the Fel and the Rize empire I presume? I am Walker and these are the fellow representatives of Genesis and all the races upon the continent that come to meet with you today. Please take a seat and eat if you want. We have a great deal to talk about before we get to forming any alliance or other things.” Walker gestured to the table where the others had already taken a spot standing before a chair.

”You have already marched through our lands and from what we have gathered, created a village. How can you use this tone in the embassy we made?” The angel in white armor spoke with a clear distaste. However, it was time for the royal dragons to interject. Specifically Rise spoke.

”Not only do you use a name similar to mine, but you have the audacity to insult us, child, your problems have flown across the sea and been spotted on our land. Your wyvern problems are encroaching on our territories. If you dare to raise that voice again, I will personally teach you the length of your indiscretions.” Rise didn’t hold back but remained firm.

”As she says, it is true. We have seen the wyverns on our continent. A very disheartening thing. Luckily, we have not seen the Fekl empire’s problem. They might not have crossed the waters just yet. But in time they may so we might lend a hand there as well. But that is only one reason we come. So, will you sit?” Walker exerted a little force causing the natural mana to flow toward him.

The results of this were the two archangels looking right at Walker with incredibly confused faces. ”Yes, I know it’s odd that I can use natural mana. You can also sense that I am sifting through my storage skill. I have skills that come from both your empires. You should just take that as a reason that genesis exists. For the unity of all races. Now sit please.” Walker’s calm smile trumped everything that the angels would say.

”There are foods here made with herbs from fields, the spice trade, and even the highest mountains. There are wines made with medicinal ingredients which were refined by my alchemists. You can see that the pilates we brought were forged by dwarves and not humans by the etching here and here.” Remey stood there pointing out the details to the two angels which could barely muster words after realizing the complexity of the situation.

”You two can take a minute if you need it. But we aren’t on your continent to cause trouble. We have all come so that we can clean up an escaped mess of ours the same as stop those here from coming to us. But while we are here it will be a great way for you to establish trade with us. Both of you. My people shit themselves from other races once upon a time. Now we are much different after meeting the founders of genesis and joining them.” Alma spoke with great calm but also showed her joy for their current situations.

”The saint of elements sent me here to speak with you on behalf of the Rize empire. We expect that you would explain what you are doing here properly. However, you are clearly not here to cause trouble. If you were, I surmise you would have killed more angels when you found them along the border?”

”We try not to kill at all. And we have not harmed an angel at all. We met a poor village after we landed on our ships. We helped them build up a little. Then we came across merchants and offered them a chance to be the first to start trade between our continents. Especially since we are the only ones that can navigate the great coral reef. It’s a tough maze. Oh, and we got rid of the undead ship captain haunting the area. The undead from your wars have caused some significant issues I suspect?” Walker was calm and matched the pace of the conversation. Yet, he did not give too much away.

”Both empires are creating livable homes for our people along the border. The Fel empire has the same villages. You may assist them if you wish. We do not desire one port for one empire.” The archangel from the Fel empire made it clear that he wanted equal treatment here.

”I don’t mind that. To be honest, we were unsure where we landed. But if you both would like to set aside that shoreline for Genesis, we can make it a joint port where the laws of Genesis will meet the laws of both empires. That way, we will be able to share culture without fighting. Naturally if a fight occurs there would be severe consequences.”

Hearing that walker refused to tolerate fighting in a village made by Genesis to bring them together went more than just that. It said that Walker and his entire alliance did not tolerate fighting at all. ”That could be agreed upon. There is no war at this time and it is strictly maintained.” Both archangels agreed with this after the Rize representative said it.

”Now, the reasons we are here. Wyverns are one that you already heard of. They are making their way to our lands and they try to fight the dragonkin and dragons. That is unacceptable so we will be assisting in your wyvern queen issue. If they truly won’t gain proper intelligence like any race should…well, they can be handled.” Walker saw that the Rize representative seemed to accept this. The assistance of powerful beings would be great for them.

”However, we know that the Fel empire has a similar issue in the deserts. Specifically another monster with some dragon blood in them? We can discuss that as well since they may attempt to get to our continent as well. I assume the reason for both of these would be the fighting on the continent in these areas.” Both representatives nodded.

”And finally, the final reason we are here is because a demon king escaped with two subordinates. He enslaved his own people and caused war. He also intends to take power from your ancient history and use it for himself. We know this because we have excavated many ruins related to the far past of your race.” This was like dropping a bomb on the two archangels. They didn’t have words to even ask a question.
