Master Of None

”Sending a dragon to take down such pathetic things? You have a head full of air!” Ignus growled but Walker could clearly see that Ignus wanted to order his dragonkin forward. He had been bored for some time and his face had been showing it.

”I just thought it would be right to show off the fire elemental dragonkin. I hear that a few of them have a certain skill that uses your fire?” Walker knew this already, but he had never seen it. Yet, with the angels present it was better to show off some strength. Since Ignus was one of the most vocal dragons due to his temperament, it was better to let him have it.

”Showing off even more? That’s smart.” Current whispered a little as he saw what Walker intended. It was easy to see the goal. The other royal dragons saw it clearly and they were sure that Ignus picked up a little on it.

Since they were going to face a monster with some dragon blood in it, they should show off what a real dragon could do. In The least, this would just be the tiniest of showings. Especially since Ignus would just be lending a little power to his fire affinity dragonkin that could show off in his stead. If a being controlled such a powerful force, wouldn’t it mean they were more powerful?

”Come.” The immediate order was loud enough to command the fire elemental dragonkin with them. Twenty moved as if they had been called by the most powerful being they had ever seen. Even Walker had not seen this sort of movement from the dragonkin as of yet. He had barely scratched the surface of what it meant to be a loyal dragonkin. But that was normal, he did not have dragonkin under him at all.

Each dragonkin brandished a sword or ax. The only ones that had acted were those with offensive ability making Walker feel that they understood Ignus very much. Since he had said come, it must have been in a way that they knew from previous battles. That Ignus didn’t need any defenses but only wanted certain dragonkin. This was especially clear when certain dragonkin had remained in place.

This was just more evidence that the dragons were more complicated than Walker had thought again. But it was about to be more impressive. ”Take my flames and crush our enemies,” Ignus growled out as he created a small ball of fire in his hands.

Every dragonkin placed their weapons within it and growled. Their scales seemed to shift slightly while steam appeared around their bodies. It was as if Ignus had just buffed them with his fire. Literally and metaphorically passing on his flames’ strength to them for the battle.

”That is the fire’s blessing. Each of us can do that. You should be able to use nature’s blessing sometime soon.” Mordant saw Walker’s intense look. But for whatever reason, he had a feeling that Walker would be trying to copy this in every sense of the word even if he had not spoken just now.

The fire on their weapons seemed to grow before the dragonkin separated and moved through the trees. When they appeared within the small village, there was no warning. All the skinwalkers which had been moving with the false actions stopped instantly. The false faces and appearances were instantly thrown away as their limbs extended. It showed off the grotesque skeletal shapes they had. As if their skin had been stretched over bones and nothing more.

The true shape of these monsters proved that there were dangers in Sigil that Walker had never expected. He knew these kinds of monsters existed but never appeared in large numbers like here in Sigil. He was very glad that there were angels with him that had knowledge about such things.

”Should we assist?” Seran asked calmly. He wasn’t sure of the strength that dragonkin had. However, he was certain that his angels had faced skinwalkers before. This was the safest bet since they had the experience. It would stop anyone from being hurt. Or at least that was his thinking. Not that it was a bad way to think.

”Do not doubt those that hold their unwavering loyalty and wield my strength.” Ignus growled out his words without even looking at Seran. The other just ignored the question from the angel completely. Not out of disrespect but because they were watching the battle.

The flames from the swords and axes were slashed out towards the skinwalkers which had finally shown their true forms. Wherever the flames struck, massive bursts of fire grew. The speed of which was insane compared to what Seran had imagined. He had rarely seen mages even use fire that grew at such a pace.

What stopped Serana and the angel forces, even more, were the dragonkin controlling the flames. Every move they made stopped the fires from traveling outward from the village. They would attack and send another wave of flames that burned up the homes that had been made in to monsters’ nests on the inside.

Each wave of flame even stopped monsters from moving. The cries of burning skinwalkers was retribution for the villagers they had stolen from life. In fluid leaps, the battle experience of the fire elemental dragonkin proved themselves over and over. This was even a sight that many of the genesis forces had not witnessed since the blessing from royal dragons had not been shown off as of yet.

”Now tell me, angel, why would my dragonkin need your help.” Ignus stood tall before walking toward the flames overtaking the village. In one single flap of his wings while in dragonkin form, he put out every single flame showing off his dragonkin standing in line before him. Showing off was more than just that. Ignus had grinned with all his teeth showing the sharpness and viciousness that he and his soldiers could maintain easily.

”I believe that the wyverns will rue the day they decided to take our lands.” The other angels stood at attention hearing Seran speak. They had lived for defeating wyverns since they had been sent to their first battle against them. Seeing such strength and power was enough for them to know that they could make a massive difference now.

”I’m glad that worked out then. I knew you would do better than I would at that.” Walker made sure to let Ignus feed his ego. But that wasn’t the only reason. Walker still had to learn to show off leadership and skills like that.

In the grand scheme of things, Walker relied on others much more. One could say he was a leader but in truth he was just bringing people together who could lead in their own ways. That left Walker with a lot of room to learn from all of their different styles. Every single little way they acted was a lesson to him. And he would never be forgetting them.

”You’ll have to show me that skill again. I want to use a nature dragon’s blessing. All of you will have to show me.” Walker was feeling his curiosity take hold the more that he was thinking about it. If he wasn’t careful he would end up with the entire rest of the walking trip like this.

”You are not learning another new skill. Keep focused.” Gil elbowed Walker in the side. ”If I have to stay focused and scout more, then you have to stay focused and keep an eye out for monsters. Also, you should make sure that those flames stay out so make it rain.” Walker knew that Gil was mostly messing with him but it was important.

”Move out and search the ruins of the village. Find any identifications about who sent these angels here. We will be remembering them and sending their families what we find.” the downside of Seran’s order was that there was not much left. Ignus’s dragonkin had burned things up very well. But that was the only way to avoid the chance that a skinwalker would survive.

”This would be a good time to rest.” Alice stopped everyone yet again. They had walked for one hours and it was a good idea to keep themselves at the best possible condition. The wyverns were a dangerous threat. If they wanted to avoid being caught by surprise when they were weaker than normal, they had to be ready now rather than later.

”I agree, stopping now is the best bet.” Su seconded this and the dragons didn’t show any pushback. They all appeared happy that Ignus had shown off their skills well enough. Especially since the angels now understood how much strength they really had in the long run. How the dragons would handle the wyverns.
