Master Of None

Chapter 1386: 1386. Quiet City

The moment that Walker, Su, Midnight, Remey, and Onyx approached the city they were greeted by guards. ”We are glad to see you back.” The guards appeared to be numerous meaning that there may be something wrong.

”Whatʼs the problem? You all seem a little on edge?” If Walker didnʼt jump right in to it he would be behind the moment they walked back in the gates.

”Walker, itʼs like this.” The guard began telling them what was going on. It was a benefit of knowing the guards but also the partyʼs standing within Genesis.

”So the mage tower had a decrease in efficiency, the elves all reacted to the mana being off, and the elemental spirits have become reclusive except for the fire elemental spirits that seem more active. I understand.” This was troubling for them since they werenʼt clear on the why behind all of this.

”This is what you felt, right? Should we assume that we will have answers when Gil and Alma return? He did say he would have to talk to you.” Walker listened to Su carefully and slowly nodded.

”I may have answers for this come another day or so. For now, have there been any large problems?” Finding ways to help was the best course of action. Remey visibly started to prepare herself to get right in to potion making if needed.

”None that we know of. But everyone is stressed. Scylla just returned as well. I believe that there is a meeting within the genesis building at the moment to understand what is occurring.” Walker knew that this was a good thing because he could go there and calm everyone down for now. But he would be stuck waiting for some time to get answers.

”Then that is where we are going. The alchemy guild can function without me. Thatʼs why the old man and Trish are there.” Remey trusted the pair to take full control of the guild without issue. She couldnʼt always hide away within her office.

”Onyx, you head to the cathedral. I know you are worried about the hatchlings.” Walker knew better than to keep Onyx back. It wasnʼt that he thought the hatchlings would be in trouble with the mana flow interrupted, but he knew that Onyx had worried about the hatchlings since he left. ”Midnight, the same for you. Go and check on the hatchlings you are in charge of.

You need to see how they have been doing in their positions and tell them about the new dragons coming.”

Both Midnight and Onyx were off in a flash. They didnʼt need to be told twice. ”Itʼs just the three of us then. Come on.” Su, Walker, and Remey took note of the less busy streets. The elves and newly joined monster races seemed to have sensed the mana more clearly leaving them to remain in a state of limbo. It was a surety that this was happening in a few more places of the world.

”I canʼt say I liked that it was so quick for us to get here. The roads are pretty empty.” Su was happy that they made good time but unhappy that it was because people were on edge and not out.

”Letʼs just head upstairs. I think I can hear Scylla yelling already.” Walker wanted it to be a joke but he really could hear Scylla.

”Well, is there any information!? We have the elves who can speak to the elemental spirits. Why donʼt they integrate the spirits to figure this all out?!” She was in a huff because she felt that someone should have answers.

”Or you can ask us because we might have a lead. And you can stop assuming the elemental spirits will tell you anything. They are just as lost as you unless they are a higher elemental spirit. Or have we gained more elemental spirits that know such things since I was almost here.” Walker calmly spoke, attracting everyoneʼs attention.

”Welcome back. We have been waiting for some more people to speak on this. It has been a very strange happening.” Markus Raven was still in charge of the human side of representation. The King was still busy with his soon to be born child. Which was rightfully so.

”I canʼt say we have noticed much other than a tougher time carving fire elemental runes.” The king of the deep had even come up and was having a vested interest in the conversation. Walker noticed that Leon was calmly sitting in the corner waiting to hear everything. Walker took a look at everyone and waited a few moments. He wasnʼt sure how to put things but knew he needed them all to relax.

”Gil and Alma went to the flame elves to discover a mad king who exiled all of his people. That is what I know. But what is more, they went after the banished people who followed their grand elemental fire spirit where they may have gone. I would assume it has to do with that. It could be a good thing but we need to wait for Gil and Alma to return.” Everyone didnʼt seem to change how tense they were.

”If there was something we needed to worry about then we would have come rushing here with more information. Please just wait for-” Su was backing up Walker when they all heard the faint roar of a dragon. A sound they had not expected to hear so early.

”Tell me that you know who that is.” Scylla had tensed up. She was not in the mood to fight a dragon.

”Well, Ignus is supposed to come in a week. But if the mana is off balance then he may be coming earlier…” Walker moved toward the large window to see the red scaled shape in the distance. ”But that is not Ignus, similar, but not Ignus.” He took a long breath before preparing himself. He was going to be extremely busy today.
