Master Of None

”The head of the spatial scout team is here to greet the guests of Genesis.” An angel in darker armor came to meet Walker as soon as he had finished his meeting with the royal dragons that were currently thinking about what they had spoken about.

”The head of the white wing observation fleet has arrived.” The slightly behind scouts from the Rize empire spoke louder to make their presence more known. It was clear that the two had met before and certainly had some issues.

”Good. I just finished a meeting with my fellow royal dragons. We have decided we need information about the whereabouts of three important groups.” Walker nodded as the dragonkin under Mordant showed themselves shocking the two angel leaders.

”These are dark affinity dragonkin representing the royal dragon Mordant. They will work with you closely to ensure cooperation and efficiency. They are also representing Genesis and are extremely skilled.” Walker felt he had to make this point or else he would hear about more pushback later.

If the two angels did not understand the strength that the dragonkin had, they could offend them. Or worse, they could ignore them and fight amongst themselves. This was a major concern since the two empires had animosity towards each other. If that was the case, nothing would be gained but a strained relationship.

”You should already know that we are looking for three demons. A demon king that is extremely dangerous and unknown. A slime breeder responsible for creating destructive slimes. And a third demon that holds the title of Sloth, he is more or less unknown.” The explanation was short but Walker knew the dragonkin could give more details on what demons looked like and other characteristics to help.

”We need the locations of dragon ruins where the wyvern queen may be. The dragons have ruled that we will give them a small chance to speak with us before we annihilate them. If they can control themselves it will be of better benefit to the world than to completely kill off a monster species. You should understand how something like that could affect an environment.”

Seeing that Walker mentioned the effects on the environment proved he was not a simple young person. He saw the ups and downs of large and small monster populations. But it still made the Rize empire scout uncomfortable to allow wyverns to live. He had personally seen their strength and devastation.

”Finally we need to locate the central ruin where the mummies or undead leader is. We need to strike them down before they become more organized and gain any more intelligence. From what we have been told, they do have some intelligence left over. The more we know the faster we can act to purify them.”

This wasn’t just fear for whatever undead was in charge here. But for the potential of the immortal king learning even a shred about this. He was definitely not a kind entity. It was possible that he could take the entire world if he escaped or found a way to make himself the center of an immortal rebuilding undead army. The very thought made Walker shiver.

”Understood, we will send our forces to the desert and get more detailed information”

”We will send our forces to the mountains to do the same.”

”No, neither of you will do anything like that. You will mix your forces. A third will go south, a third will go north, and a third will look for information about unknown people moving through villages or trails.” Walker saw discontent on the two leading angels’ faces. They were very against this.

”You will work together to get this done. You are under Genesis’s laws and beliefs. I see no difference between angels here. You may believe that the elemental cycle is superior and you may believe it is only a piece of everything and not as important as other forces. I could care less.”

”Everything and everyone is important. If you spend time fighting you’ll all end up dead without a single accomplishment in life. That’s just a fact. How many angels have you lost that you’ll never remember because you can’t just put your pride aside?” Walker’s sudden outburst was harsh. However, it was necessary.

”If they do not wish to learn lessons that will keep them alive and providing for their lord, I will instruct them in the way of dragonkin soldiers.” The dragonkin appointed by Mordant understood Walker’s point. Many young dragonkin attempted to rebel for one reason or another. Dealing with them to force and some teaching but it would lead to a better soldier overall.

”I will leave it to you then. But don’t you think it would be wise for them to understand why first? Spatial magic that can help the angels in the sky make the most accurate maps yet? Or do you think they need to be told about escaping the dangerous areas with impeccable magic and flying capabilities? It would be easy for shadows to be mixed in to guard their backs as well. A perfect scouting trio. No, quad, we can add in some elves to assist since their tracking skills are levels above all of you.”

The logic was sound and could not be argued. If any of the angels would have even attempted, then they would find themselves at a loss. As much as both empires valued their beliefs, they could not defeat a sound logic. It just required a lot of mental strength to reduce the strain between them.

”Understood. We will split our forces to create these maps properly and of the best quality.”

”And we will be sure to provide them to everyone equally. I’m the same quality.”

The two looked at one another knowing that the other would be getting high quality and very accurate maps of their empire’s territories. Something that would be very dangerous for anyone that was at war anywhere.

”The maps will come to me. If I find anything hidden or different between them then I will have all of you in prison. Even the dragonkin we are sending with you. But don’t worry. I think it would only be a crime worthy of fifty or sixty years since it wouldn’t really cause a war. If it did you would be known for causing a massive war so you would be famous.” Walker just theorized this but it was an I timid sting idea. Enough of a deterrent that he was sure he would get the best of the best work from them.

The angels promptly left to organize themselves after that. Walker was very proud of his performance but felt a bit tired. A lot had happened in the past few hours.

”That was how I imagine a dragon should speak. Use your power and make them work to the best of their ability. But you could have used a little fire.” Ignus sounded very calm. It was impressive that he had even come out.

”So I take it you all listened in on that?”

”Why not? You did it right here for a reason. You wanted us to hear how you planned to put our ideas in motion. You also wanted to make sure we don’t leave without a plan.” Ignus’s calm attitude threw Walker off before he understood why.

”Now that we have figured a lot more out, Everyone seems to have calmed down.” Ignus nodded to Walker’s guess. ”That’s good. I think when everyone is calm we will make a better future than when we are rushing around. But I’m not sure I like that you’re so calm, I’ve gotten used to your heat.”

”If you want a fight you can ask for one. You’re too young to even understand what we can do.” Ignus scoffed a bit but Walker swore he saw a small smile.

”Things will get very busy soon. I think this will be the best time to prepare anything we need. The archangels may be busy for the entire night speaking and getting their things together. I just hope we can help them solidify a balance here. Maybe Genesis will be their middle ground.”

”They should just fight. Those Demi-humans have the right idea. Battle over differences and force your opponent to believe what you say. That is clearly the rule of the world.” Ignus sounded a little too much like Scylla at this point. But the two had clearly wanted to fight one another anyways. This was just a natural progression of this.

”Maybe they would do well with a coliseum. Anyone that got too hot headed like you could go there.” The simple teasing started Ignus on a small rant about strength and the ancient dragons. But that was to be expected. It was a welcoming moment after so much seriousness.
