Master Of None

When Walker shot out of the bridge to the elemental planes, the entirety of Genesis felt a potent mana wave cover them before they felt it retract. Walker had been unconsciously manipulating the mana around him in his actions to move well ahead using some of the space mana surrounding him.

When he had returned to the world he had let that control and pressure affect the surroundings, which in turn, caused everyone who could sense it to stutter slightly. This was beyond the royal dragons when they would get frustrated or accidentally release their mana around them.

Then again, Walker could manipulate all the manas and also have an effect on how they all flowed together. They would not be surprised that if he forgot his contour of a moment and let his emotions take over there would be a lot more pressure in general. That among other destructive things because of the pressure from the mana itself.

”All elder fire dragons report to the bridge to the elemental planes for an important task regarding the future of the fire dragon territory and the fire mana flow within Genesis!” The booming order was not just an order, it was a demand that Walker see the dragons.

He knew that putting force in to his voice the same way a dragon would roar could be effective for the elder fire dragons. They were hotty and would not hesitate to push back if there was any weakness. That was just the life they lived as proud fire dragons. Igus was evidence of this too.

Walker hoped that Ignus would be around and used the communications crystals to send out a few orders and desires for him to be notified that Walker was looking for him immediately. It was quick that one of the attendants Walker had sent communication to that Ignus was currently in the Sigil continent assisting but was already moving to return as soon as possible.

This was just the start of what Walker needed though. He was already calling for any fire mage, and especially the echidna with fire mana control.

The reason he was so focused on the echidna was their bonds with nature and the manas that they used were all focused around natural mana as well. Their fire mages used a more spiritual sort of fire that was deeply connected and even bolstered by natural mana. They would be ideal for allowing the larger amount of fire mana entering the world with the flame swallowing turtle and the coal people city a safe adjustment for everyone.

It was a short few minutes before three elder fire dragons, one in dragonkin form and two in their dragon form flying above Walker appeared. They were looking down wondering why they had been called here.

”A higher being made of fire mana is carrying a city with a race that could have been lost to the changes in the fire elemental planes. In the space between the farms, I built merchant road, and the lava pools will be where the city is placed. There will be room, it’s smaller than Genesis by a great deal. I need help managing the fire mana if Ignus. Is not here.”

His words were nothing small of a major announcement. He had just told them as the first to hear it that not only a new race was coming but they were bringing their actual city here.

”The flame swallowing turtle carrying them is at the end of its life.” More people arrived as he spoke and began murmuring to catch up. The elder dragons remained in flight to allow more prowl space around Walker.

”It naturally releases all the gathered mana it had when it perishes to return it to the fire elemental planes and mature. This step is major for its species and for the founding of this new city in bonds with the world.”

”When it arrives the city will be placed and the fire mana will rapidly dissipate. We will be the kens ensuring that fire mana does not rampage and calmly integrate with the fire territory and also the world.”

They all listened and knew this task sounded large, but was even larger since the amount and the density, let alone purity, were enough to cause issues for the world as a whole. It would be, another major chance to bond and sense the levels of control in fire mana beyond themselves.

That opportunity was coming more and more often lately. Chances to work united and manipulate fire mana or any mana for that matter, at higher abilities. It would always end with everyone being exhausted and sometimes unconscious.

Where the benefits came though, was after. When they would have major inspiration or insights about their usage of that mana or whatever skills and actions that were used. The experience alone was also high enough to make larger advancements or even learn new skills entirely.

For the average fire mage or even alchemy fire alchemist, this chance was major. Even if they played the smallest of roles they would make a massive advantage.

In a sudden burst of flame, many were moving and clearing the surrounding areas. Guards had been called to take up residence at the edges of some farm fields so that they could ensure safety for the farmers and those who were venturing nearby.

Others had moved to do a sweep of the land to take away any of the obstacles, tools, and staff working on surveying the future building.

These major changes wouldn’t harm building plans for a long time. It might actually speed them up because the coal people’s city could become a secondary hub for merchants and new culture. It was an honor to be involved in any of this.

A sudden heavy roar broke through as Walker felt the space mana shift. ”That would be Ignus then.” He hummed a little while stepping in to the air. Everyone had their orders so now he would just have to keep Ignus up to date.

A flurry of flame came as Ignus flew and took his dragonkin form in front of Walker just a few breaths later. ”You are bringing an entire city here?” There was a slight tinge of annoyance in Ignus’s voice. He was not happy that he had not been consulted before. Yet, he didn’t act too angry since he understood that it was for an entire race and not for anyone’s whims.

”Yes, it’s the coal people’s race. Their territory was shifting near a dangerous territory of monsters. They have not advanced in many years and it’s due to limited food materials they need to develop. In this territory, we should be able to create that material and also allow them to smoothly adapt to fire mana that would have overwhelmed them within their home fire elemental plane.”

”We also need someone to act as a balanced and controlled center for all the fire mana that will be released-”

”Remey and I will handle it. We have shared fire mana at the core of our beings. We can ensure that all fire mana is calm.” Before Walker had even said Ignus could focus on this, he’d shown his plan.

The pair had shared a deep bond to take steps forward, they also worked on alchemy together. Out of everyone, they were a perfect pair for a task like this.

”I will trust you both with this. I will take one the mass control of escaping mana while everyone else including your elder dragons will be maintaining the full barriers around. The mana will be intense.”

He knew very well the purity and density of fire mana would cause a struggle for all of them. However, the influence on this fire dragon territory and even the rune formations would be immense.

There would be more acclimation to fire mana in the entire area making it more fluid with fire mana flowing. There would also be better growth of all fire materials and herbs related to fire mana. It would be exceptional for all fire affinity beings within the territory and Genesis.

The pair froze before speaking, they both sensed the intense fire mana moving from the bridge to the fire elemental planes. A major pressure also came because of the fire mana radiating from the flame sealing turtle. It had begun to lose more fire mana to the space around it. That fire mana had to be held on to, to protect everyone.

”Everyone, begin guarding the area! Mages, work with the elder dragons! Remey and Ignus prepare!” His roar of orders echoed through all of Genesis. The prowl not here knew something major was happening while they also felt the pressure from a powerful being controlling fire.

It wasn’t just here, all of Genesis felt a growth in temperature which pushed everyone in to protecting the herbs and materials. It was an added stress but their work and effort would pay off, they always trained for these things.
