Master Of None

Knowing that the elder darkness dragons were appeased made Walker relax a little. He was also glad to see that one had impressed Mordant by getting stronger while Mordant had been away. This would just bolster the defenses of Genesis by a greater deal than what anyone expected.

”That was sure the show. I bet you could do that with the wind as well.” Ventus slowly landed next to Walker while they watched Mordant head off and the darkness dragons converse.

”I had to show off a little so that they were able to trust me a little more.” Walker said this very mater of factly. He was sure that Ventus would ask the same thing to be shown since it was sure that they would have to show off his strength to the wind dragons.

”I expect you will keep up that work. But when it comes to my people, you will not need to worry. They are already on their way. My dragonkin and elders will also be visiting my children to test them.” Now this was a surprise.

Walker had expected that Ventus would have her children brought back here. However, the fact that she was sending the elders to test them and leaving them there meant that she was fully committed to her children helping the demons grow. Especially with war approaching.

”You want them to have a place to protect if things go poorly? Or you want them away from the main fight?” There was a slight nod from Ventus. She cared for her children. It was different from what the other dragons did. Each type of dragon had their traditions. Their ways to grow their kind.

For Ventus, the wind dragons, they kept their tongue very close and guided them greatly. This was simply due to the fact that all skies were their homes regardless of the location on the world. This let them understand the greatest fear and negative that came with that. Falling.

If a wind dragon were to fall from the highest places in the sky, death was just part of what they might experience. Therefore, the mothers of the wind dragon hatchlings would guide them in the ways of maneuvering larger wind currents. Of surviving wind storms higher in the sky than possible for most species. For how they could survive in the skies above the clouds and full of sun or stars.

These lessons were steeped within the traditions that came with the dragons way of life. It also brought together the wind dragons in to a closer nit village than the other dragon villages. However, there were the dragonkin.

The wind elemental dragonkin were the reason that villages were build. Yes, they were on the highest of the high mountains. Places where many could not venture no matter what. But that was not the issue. There was the simple issue that they would all need to travel with the currents of wind.

Protecting these dragonkin was the utmost due of the wind dragons. They were the ones that created the homes and the ability for the dragonkin to grow. Therefore, without the perfect cooperation and unity, it would fail. That was also why the draconic guardian of wind was taking a different role too. A protector of the village instead of the wind dragon champion.

”I came to ask you a question, before you get too busy.” Ventus looked off in the distance. ”Do you respect to come out of this new war with everyone still alive?” she was serious. Wind mana oozed from around her, putting pressure on Walker. Not because she wanted to hurt him, just to show the depths of seriousness right at this moment.

”No. I don’t think it will be possible. The demon lord has been ahead of us in every step. The slimes, the ruins, the runes, and corruption. I think that he had years to slumber and think of this because of what we already know. But I think that we can beat him because the world is on our side. We know the problems and we can create the solutions.”

”Hmm, you are really trying your best. That’s fine then. I will be going back to Sigil. I will become a wind dominator dragon to appease the ancestors while the village is built here. I trust you with the elders of my kind until I return.”

There was a moment where Walker felt this was too much. Yet, he knew this was proof that Ventus trusted him. That she wanted to go get stronger because she knew this threat was not something small.

The dragons had been prideful. They believed themselves powerful. Now though, they realized that their species had grown very weak. That over the generations they had lost part of their history and begun to weaken more than they knew.

The older ancestors, the dominator dragons, had been the top of the world. The most powerful dragons other than the most ancient originator of the dragons. Therefore, when they saw this stark contracts, the royal dragons had made a Solomon inner promise.

”I promise you that they will be able to build their village here safely. They will be welcomed as equals while you are away. Good luck my friend.” Walker felt that Ventus was smiling as she flapped her wings towards the elemental space teleportation rune formation.

The weight on Walkers shoulder did not stress him out. He felt that he could take this mantle well. However, Ventus had not been the only one attracted by what had happened.

”Ignus, I didn’t think you could be pulled from your training.” Walker thought that Current might be drawn or Rise. Yet Ignus had come.

”Since so much happened I knew you would be here. It’s time to have a conversation.” This was not the usual Ignus. He was serious and exuded the pressure of flames from himsel much more so than usual.

”What’s going on?” Walker wasn’t sure what was happening. The dragons were coming to him over and over with their reasons for doing something here and there to gain strength or to come together. But Ignus left a whole new presence right now.

”It’s a proper step. Nothing wrong but you are needed as I finish what must be done.” Ignus made it sound like this was a risk of life and death. Beyond what was needed or known. However, it was clear that Ignus had come for the sole reason that he trusted Walker to assist him.

”Then let’s do what needs to be done. Tell me what I can do.” Without any further words, Ignus grabbed Walker and leaped in to the air. He flew toward the alchemy guild and dropped on to a balcony made for those who can fly.

Weaving. Through the many corridors and down stairs, Walker began to understand where they were going.

Deeper in to the guild and beneath the earth. A single heat was growing that Walker could sense. ”Pure fire mana”

”Yes it is.” Ignus had been growing this pure fire mana with the knowledge he gained from the flame dominator dragons ruins. Knowing the levels of what he needed, he had grown it here where fire was used uniquely and unhindered.

When the space opened up, Walker saw runes that made no sense. They were clearly draconic. But they were more complicated and attracted fire mana I’m a way that was different from how Walker attracted it.

”True dragon fire. The flames made for and by dragons. Using the runes gifted by the original flame dragons to those they birthed. Before they ascended elsewhere. This is what makes a flame dominator dragon. One that can walk forward.” Ignus was speaking the same way he had when he spoke of the oldest dragon traditions.

”And the one human who wishes to also wield them alongside me as an equal.” Everything seemed to stop when Walker heard this. He felt his stomach and heart drop. The feeling of fear and worry.

Remey was standing wrapped in bandages in the center of many runes. Flames dancing near her more than they should.

’Pure fire dragon runes formation.

This formation carries the will of the true flame dragons. The ones that originated the fire dragon bloodline.

These runes are able to create a unique flame that allows for growth in a fire dragon of a certain age and strength.

There may be other ways to use this but it comes at great cost and risk…’

Walker didn’t read anything else. He knew that Remeybahd decided this path was one she would travel for strength. But she had done some with Ignus at great risk. It was too far though. This was something that could bring her to her knees and then to her death. Yet, even Ignus looked at Walker with some worry mixed in to his determination. The two had sworn on this when they started. Not they would finish it with a little help.
