Master Of None

"Is there anything at all you wish to ask of me? I know you have taken a great deal of time to come here for my people. I do not wish to burden you constantly." Leon was swelling with pride after seeing Walker work so smoothly with the merchants. He knew that they had come to help and that the party would keep pushing with every ounce of strength. 

" I know we will enter the water shortly after the battle concludes and the port is cut off. Can you set up maps of where we will go and any supplies we may need as land dwelling races? I want to make sure my party and the others that volunteer are able to do their best." There were many that had come to assist. Some dwarves were safe inside their leading golems whole other golems were autonomous. The enforces had some mages that would protect them but still, it was better to have more protection than none. 

"I will have another word with my water mages. We should be able to perform some large spells after the battle. But we will perform some small water breathing and water pressure protection spells before as well." Leon had already thought of this but would double his process just to be safe and certain. 

"I will head toward where we saw the elite guard. There should be more golems around than we think. They can also be the first to enter the water and start the main extermination." Gil was off without a response from Walker. He already knew the gravity of the situation and that they had to split up to make sure every piece of the puzzle came together at the right time. 

Since Gil was already off, Walker decided that he should look for the dragonkin that Gil had mentioned were around. He knew that when they joined the little things would massively change. They were most likely the top warriors here and would be better able to take on the kraken spawn. He also wanted to let Current know what he had seen on the southern shore. They may not have spotted the mother again but Walker had the feeling that it was still around waiting for the right prey. 

"Midnight, have any idea where the dragonkin have gotten to?" Since Midnight had been fairly silent and carefully watching, Walker relied on her to guide him here. She hadn't just been looking around idly. She had been watching for things that she knew would help them and wanted to take this as seriously as possible. 

It took her only a few seconds of looking around before she found the blue scaled dragonkin she had spotted earlier. Her head turned and she growled softly. The dragonkin seemed to hear this even from the distance they were at and stood up straight. They were examining the sword they had been carrying but now they were standing and waiting. 

"Come." It was a simple command that Walker knew the royal dragons would use instead of being too personal. The seriousness and high demeanor needed to be used here to maintain the powerful drive for the battle that the dragonkin were used to. 

"What can I do to serve you, my lord." The dragonkin began to kneel slightly as he recognized Walker and Midnight from what he had been told. 

"Tell Current that the mother kraken was spotted off of the southern shore and that the first step is cutting off the bay. Then we will exterminate the kraken spawn here and move in to the water. It will happen in three hours." Walker turned away and left the dragonkin who jumped to his feet and moved with his highest speed outside of the town. He knew where Current was and would deliver the information without fail. 

"Let's go to the chapel and let Alice, Su, and Onyx in on what we plan to do." Walker hadn't even entered the chapel before. However, he was sure he would be able to do some healing while there. The damages around the town were clearly more than they could deal with. The only problem was that he needed to conserve mana. However, he did not forget that the high priest had sent some of the battle healers with the enforcers. That would take a major weight off of him and Alice who would be joining the main fight. 

The chapel in the port town was much smaller than the cathedral. It was used for dock injuries and some illnesses. But most importantly, it acted as a safety net for each ship. If someone were to become ill on a ship then the entire crew could perish because of it. The job of the chapel was to ensure that everyone was fit and well to travel for weeks and months on the ship. The reason the chapel was so small was because it was only a base for the healers that lived here. They would mainly be on the docks and ships to check things. 

There were tents put outside the chapel for the injured but it appeared that there were not as many as Walker expected. The door to the chapel was gone and most likely used for the wall. This was to be expected of the church pews as well. It wasn't even a surprise when Walker saw that the long candlesticks were gone toward the wall effort. 

The hustle and bustle was the same as the cathedral though. Many people moved and the main injured were toward the front. There was a small crystal emanating a healing aura there that didn't even extend to the entire cathedral. But it was enough for those that were injured and clearly pulled from the water at some point. Walker wasted no time sending a calming wave from the eternal orb staff form. He had healing to do.
