Master Of None

"Midnight, you heard it all. You will have one hatchling that can learn from you and the way you sneak around. Bring her to the archery academy to talk about tracking and hunting as well. They have a lot of scouting knowledge for her to learn. On top of that, she can learn to fly, making her the best scouting potential the city has seen." Walker also knew that there was a potential for body guard and assassin. However, that was after the hatchling had learned some skills that went with their talent.

"And if she chooses otherwise?" Mordant was not sure what Walker would say if the hatchling were to not want to scout at all.

"Then at least she will have the knowledge to fall back on if she fails elsewhere. We can give anyone the tools that work with their skills but they are not forced to walk the path we offer." Mordant appeared to like this since he was certain that Walker would actually allow this to happen.

"The male hatchling can…and I may regret this, go and train with Remey. She should find the dwarves and work together. The earth bloodline will help along with the desire for close combat battles. They might even become close friends." Walker didn't like the idea of allowing Remey to pass some of her brutal habits on to a young being but it made sense that she was a part of this with the dwarves. They had knowledge about head to head battles that this hatchling would find valuable.

"Are you thinking he has the potential to be a guard for the alchemy guild? How interesting. They would be much safer with any dragon guarding it." The respect that Mordant had was much higher now. A high position such as guarding an entire main guild building seemed to represent the strength a dragon had.

"I think that would work, yes. Many would think twice before breaking the rules set inside the building. He would also be there to ensure that the herbs you send and the potions they send are safe within the building. The perfect bonding of both dragons and other races." Walker thought for a moment, "It's also near the adventurers guild so he can battle as often as he wants."

Both seemed very happy with this. However, that brought them to the last hatchling which was sitting patiently trying to understand what the adults were conversing about. She appeared to be very interested in what the words meant and how she could learn them.

"Midnight, how would the Garnet family feel about training a young appraiser. One that would also function as a deterrent for any form of robbery." Midnight huffed in approval. She had not seen the new auction house in Genesis but she knew that it was heating up. Many merchants fought for a chance to get in.

"An appraiser? How so?" Mordant was unsure how this would work out for the hatchlings' benefit. Let alone represent the dragons properly.

"The Garnet family runs the best auction houses I know of. They have many appraisers that take great pride in their work. They always need someone to join them in appraising and pricing valuable items. Some artifacts, materials, and even magic scrolls. There's really no limit. Having a dragon that could do that there would be perfect. She could become the best appraiser there is if her skills grow over time."

Hearing that this hatchling could become the very best was exactly what Mordant had wanted. Having a hatchling as the best at anything would be ideal, but one that would outdo any that showed up to attempt to do the same job was better. Not only would she become renowned, but so would the village that brought her here.

"I will accept this. I expect progress before I leave the city. In all these things." Mordant took copies on the papers that the bestial scribe had made. He was sure that they would be perfect records for the mothers and fathers of these hatchlings. It told a lot about the blood they passed down along with the fact that they had other hatchlings as well. Not just single ones in the nest. "I will return to the mage tower for some thought." Mordant left. The three elite guards waited for Walker's orders now.

"First of all. Midnight will take the lead. Listen to her. I will focus on making other things work. But I will personally go and get us in to the Garnet family auction house. They shouldn't have anything going on today. Midnight, you do your best with those two. We will start thinking about names while we see how they act." One dragonkin guard followed Walker as he tried to scoop up the hatchling.

p "Let her walk. As long as she stays close she will be fine. If she is carried everywhere she won't grow." The elite knew what Walker meant but still worried. In comparison to the other dragon hatchlings, these three were the weakest.

Midnight had the two elites follow her out the door toward the alchemy and adventurer's guild. The pair of hatchlings slowly trailed behind her. Midnight had growled slightly to ensure they knew to follow her orders.

Walker, on the other hand, strolled in to the side of the street with the Garnet family auction house in mind. He had not attended since the city was built but he knew exactly where it was. The hatchling was looking around with eyes that didn't seem to stop moving. So many new things for her to use a skill on. "Keep up, avoid that." Walker gave his advice and knew his words were not understood.

His attitude seemed cold but it made the hatchling learn that he was the one in charge and to follow him. It reigned in her curiosity while moving safely through the streets.
