Master Of None

The scales of earth on Terrons body were a shiny brown. They looked the same as fossils hidden in the depths of the earth that the dwarves had collected and shown off as ancient relics of a past that no one here had ever seen.

The deep brown eyes flashed with some of the purest earth mana that Walker had event seen. Pairing this with the sharp spikes that ran along Terron’s body and massive claws, Walker knew that this change was much greater than he realized.

Seeing the long and sharp teeth that dwarfed the teeth Terron had before this ritual, Walker knew that Terron had massively boosted his strength. That was putting aside the clearly larger muscles all over his body.

When Terron even moved, the earth mana shifted. Walker could tell that Terron was different than Ignus and Remey. Most likely because he had absorbed the entire condensed earth mana he had created from this process. A much different thing than what Ignus and Remey had. They had a more unstable ball of mana because of their choice to alter the ritual to suit the both of them.

This made Walker understand that Ignus had taken an even larger set back to ensure that Remey could move forward with him. It was staggering to know just how much Ignus valued Remey and he had been blind to that depth. But the two had worked together and she had been the only one to truly show no qualms with his strength or personality. Something like that held a lot of weight.

Beyond that, Walker was more focused on the magnitude of Terron’s strength. When Terron moved his head and looked at Walker and the wyvern queen, the ground trembled. It was clear he was still balancing his newfound mana.

Controlling purer earth mana was already something amazing. It meant that with less mana from himself, he could manipulate earth much more.

Before, Terron could cause earthquakes and other smaller events around the area he was. He was even able to break parts of mountains or more. But now, he could easily flatten a mountain or create one using only a portion of his mana. That was just from what Walker could sense.

As the mana flowed and the ground shook, shapes of earth rose up. The large cave that Terron had created was being reinforced.

The more that this happened, the more that Walker understood. Terron was rebuilding the earth dominator dragon ruins. They were a clear honor of the past dominator dragons who had long since left this world. But the details were extreme.

The earth dragon statues that were being constructed out of mana and stone condensed by Terron were immaculate. Incredibly realistic and hard to believe that they were formed in just a few minutes.

Pillars full of draconic runes and earth dragon history rose to support the ceiling as Terron’s body shifted. His changing form made Walked shocked yet again.

The dragonkin form that Terron could take prior to this was not at all the same. Now he had an even more human appearance. Just his wings and a few scales remained to remind others that he was a dragon.

”You appear surprised. Yes, it is very different than before. It will take time to settle the mana in my body. A core of pure earth mana rests in my heart.” Terron spoke and the earth shook slightly. A clear example of him slowly stabilizing the new strength within him.

”I’m just surprised. Your body changed so much. Your scales were thicker and even now, if you hide your wings you might pass for human or a Demi-human.” Walker didn’t hide a bit. It brought a curious look from Terron.

”I have yet to see myself. I will ask the water-”

Terron was about to say he would wait, but Walker had already acted. He brought water from around the atmosphere and created a reflective sheet of ice. A clear and detailed image of Terron and Walker standing beside one another appeared in it. Small balls of light gathered to illuminate them.

”This is…” Terron was understandably stunned. The scales skin that he was used to seeing when he took the dragonkin form was gone. He was amazed by the brown tanned skin and slight hints of scales that was much closer to a humans than before. But it was beautiful to him. A unique appearance he had not imagined.

”I thought you would be a bit speechless. When we go outside I will make a larger ice mirror so you can see your new dominator dragon form.” Walker was very happy. It was nice to see Terron showing so much emotion compared to his usual calmness.

”I only took the first step. I must condense and control my own mana and the pure earth mana within me. I have made a core in my heart to allow myself that ability. I changed me as a dragon. I understand much more now.” Terron appeared to still be lost to this new experience.

There was not much that Terron understood even with the knowledge that he had learned from the stone slabs left behind by the last earth dominator dragon. The feelings were unique and hard to grasp because it relied on his own senses and time to grasp these new sensations.

The mana in Terron’s body was constantly resonating with the earth as a whole. He could feel the steps of those above ground along with the dwarves working hard at carving the tunnels. Every single movement could be felt because it changes the mana in the earth. It was all coming to him without any deep meditation or focus.

”It seems that Ignus is on the way. I can feel him taking the steps underground now.” This shocked Walker since it was a clear representation of how much clearer Terron’s senses were now than before. Well above his own.

”Terron!” The roar was loud enough to echo through the entire tunnel. But they both were not surprised.

”Ignus.” Terron responded quickly with a single word.

The two looked one another up and down. Ignus was clearly still adapting his body but showed more changes than before.

”Bastard! You ran out ahead of me like the world was ending. When we go back I am going to beat you to a pulp.” Remey’s yelling came soon after as she stopped in front of them with her own surprised look. But she could sense the changes in Terron too. The same way that Ignus could. A shared feeling on the path of being a dominator dragon.

”They are having a moment I think. But Terron took the full pure mana he condensed from his ritual. He did it here in Genesis too. I think the earth spirits came to help even before the ones I led here came.”

”I will arrive next to you in a week.” Ignus said this before turning around and walking away. It was a simple statement but a clear one. He would gain the full abilities of the first step of the path they were taking. It meant that he understood the difference they took. He just made sure that Terron knew he would not remain behind.

”Really! And now you’re leaving?” Remey ram after Ignus. Walker noticed a few small sparks of fire around her when she ran. Just a small example of her not being able to fully control the pure flames that now resides within her body. But they weren’t harmful whatsoever. Just something she was still stabilizing and balancing within her body as it had changed.

”He is fairly annoyed with me.” Terron understood this was not anger from Ignus. Just a promise between royal dragons who had known. One another for many years.

”Well, he took the step first but had to hold back. He would be annoyed that he isn’t ahead of you right now. I figured he was competitive.” This was obvious to Walker. Ignus had the perfect personality as a rival for growth between dragons. He would never be afraid to challenge the others and definitely had done so before.

”It’s time to take a walk and see the others. My dragonkin and the other earth dragons should be arriving and sensing me now.” Terron could feel them all in the distance. The elder earth dragons who remained far away and separated since that was the earth dragons nature. Now they would come to pay respect to the dominator earth dragon. Their lord.

”I will walk with you then. I should apologize to your champion. I used a little force to isolate him and push my way through to you.” Walker felt a little bad now.

”You are a royal. It is your right to see me as well.” Terron just accepted it. He had respect for Walker’s unique nature affinity.
