Master Of None

Chapter 1224 – 1224.Scylla And Midnight

"How was it to see the race that Midnight came from? Was their home large? Did they challenge her at all?" It appeared that Scylla had grand images of dragons battling for pride and respect. It kind of made sense since there were many of these ideas that came from the s and stories written through the years. It was very easy to blur the lines between reality and fiction. 

"It was a lot of stubbornness and us showing off what we have to offer to the dragon race. I actually feel like it was easier than expected. But everything will be a test until they see us as a completely equal." Walker couldn't lie and say that the dragons would see him as an equal right away. To them, he was still a hatchling in some senses. They were impressed and saw his potential though. Especially, they saw Midnight's potential as a future true dragon champion with the ability to manipulate natural mana. Walker wished he knew more of what the other guardians had thought of Su but believed that she had used what they had to offer to their benefit. She was smart and he knew it. 

"They will be visiting though. When they come they may have some dragonkin that battle in the colosseum that you have taken over." Scylla had already taken the control from others when it came to the coliseum. It was only right since she knew how to make it work the best out of everyone on the representative council. Since Su had tempted the champions and guardians, she knew that she would be able to bring them there to see a myriad of skills and races. 

"When? I will pit myself against them all in the colosseum and show them what Genesis is!" Scylla still had pride for the demi-humans and was still a general under her kind. However, she had begun to put roots down in Genesis and took great pride in guiding the new city to its peak. She wanted this place to stand above all others with her and her entire race's aid. It was no longer a small thing to her. It was everything. 

"I know that you might take them down but please don't get angry if a champion or a guardian gives you a challenge. They didn't show off their strength but I could sense them from the other room." Walker knew well the strength of the champions who had many years under their belts. It would be impossible for most to stand even let alone above them. 

"Midnight knows my power. She will back me up and give me the intelligence reports on the enemy if I need them." Midnight was right by Scylla's side. The attitude of defeating dragons and showing her strength was a match for Midnight. The two were getting fired up more so than they needed to be.

"I come out of working on the caves and basements to find you all full of energy. If you have it to burn you should be working with me. Now tell me. Will those dragons come and forge with us? I want to see more of those draconic runes. My blacksmiths keep asking and if I am bothered again I might just kick them out." The king of the deep caves had made himself a permanent residence within Genesis. He was slowly guiding an underground trade route of caves from the dwarven city to Genesis and he would take a few years to complete the monumental legacy he would leave behind one day. It was a dream of any dwarven miner. 

"Oh, they will come. One of the royal dragons was very impressed with the circlets that the wandering blacksmith made. He even had a darkness spirit friend that went right in to it when we gave it to him. If no other comes I will be very surprised." Mordant had been constantly on Walker's mind. He was a mystery but also someone Walker could feel would become a close ally. 

"No earth dragons? I thought that they would want to come and explore the metals we have around here since they eat them. Maybe I can befriend a few to help with mining. It could work out." The king of the deep caves fell in to deep thought while the ideas flowed. He became completely distracted. 

"Markus?" Walker wasn't sure why Markus Raven had returned to the city and why King August was not there.

"My lord King August had left. He wants to be near the queen as she becomes more dependent on others' care. The baby is apparently growing at a faster rate than expected because of the high nutrition and exceptional care. The alchemy guild has sent many things as gifts to help the child develop and the queen remain in perfect health." This made a lot of sense and Walker, nor anyone else, would ever be angry that the king had left to go be a good father to his soon to be born child. Hearing that the baby was growing faster than expected made all of them proud that there were medicines and potions available to keep people healthy and happy. 

"Ah, I didn't think I would be this behind. I had a few matters involving the mage tower to clear up. A lot of people have come and I even received a letter from the flame elves. They may come from the lava lands to visit soon. Not that that actually means soon. The last letter they sent was fifty years ago." Alma looked a little off because she had been working hard but they all noticed the slight excitement in her voice. She seemed to look at Gil more and more often showing just how much she liked that he received an amazing skill that put the elves in the front of his mind.
