Master Of None

"He is really going all out." Gil was amazed by the strength of flames that he was witnessing. The simple breath that Ignus used was powerful enough to scorch the stones back in to slow moving lava. When he took a deep breath the stones became boiling magma.

"I don't know how that rogue dragon is still kicking. The thing is still roaring like it has a chance." Barry had already seen this sight before. He too was amazed with what Ignus could do. It wasn't the strength that Ignus had, but the elemental might. Barry knew that he could potentially punch Ignus aside doing some damage. But against flame breath that hot? Never in a million years.

,m "I do admit that it is impressive. I wonder how the flame elves have been able to live nearby the dragons for so long." Alma had her misgivings about the territory that Ignus kept. She had already heard the attitude that Ignus had from Walker and now seen it plain as day.

"The lord does not involve himself with others. The elves learned to stay away from our territory long ago. It is in their best interest to admire but not to cross the line." The dragonkin that had seen the two at first had relaxed greatly.

Since Barry had shown that he knew the two and the dragonkin respected his power, they all relaxed. On top of that, the fact that Gil was able to stand up and speak about his connection with another dragon proved valuable. The dragonkin under Ignus cared about power and a great deal more than other dragons. Therefore, there was a small amount of respect for Gil formed.

"That may not be the case any longer. If you wish to learn from genesis then you will need to get along with the flame elves better. There are many things you may be missing out on. I am certain that the flame elves have very good relationships with the fire spirits. That alone should be enough for you to want to know them. The potential that has with true spirit forging is immense." Alma snapped a little at the dragonkin that didn't seem to be giving her respect at all.

"The Lord will decide that. I will stand by the word he lays down." The harsh response was enough to make Alma turn a little more red.

"The heat is getting at you. Better to take a breath." Gil whispered in Alma's her. He could tell she was letting it get to her.

The shaking of stones that redirected their attention back to Ignus brought a brutal vision. Ignus had clamped his sharp teeth around the rogue dragon's neck and lifted himself in to the air. Ignus dropped the rogue dragon right before the waiting warriors. "Clean this trash up. Prepare to march back to the village."

Ignus looked down upon Alma and Gil before looking away and taking back to the air. He was gone in just a moment. "He does that doesn't he?" Barry was a little annoyed since Ignus had done the same thing when they were facing multiple rogue dragons. Ignus had flown away to deal with another without saying a word.

"It looks like he found another. I can see the burst of fire from here." Gil pointed out the faint burst of flames to Alma who was a little more lost. She had less keen eyesight than Gil did.

"Well, I hate to be the one to say this, but goodbye again. I will follow them to their village. Check up on Walker, Su, and Midnight. Stay away from the lava flow ahead. There are word turtle things in there that have long necks. They like to bite." Barry followed the leaving warriors.

"Hey Gil, they have two hatchlings with them. They are larger but definitely dragon hatchlings." Gil put the puzzle together in a moment. It was very clear to him who the draconic warriors would have dragon hatchling with them.

"This must be hatchlings they kicked from the nest and reclaimed. Walker will have to take them back to genesis with him. But that's still wrong. He was rude, threatened us, and still had the nerve to kick those hatchlings from the nest just to take them back to give them away to someone else." To say that Gil had hatred for Ignus was an understatement. He felt that Ignus was the worst dragon he had met yet.

"Walker will figure that out. He is using his strength to do that." Seeing that Gil was so worked up she decided to distract him. "I haven't seen you act like that towards anyone before. You even threw Walker's title as royal dragon around."

"I had to. How else would they know that they were messing with an important delegation? Walker told me that dragons care about their pride and tradition more than anything. He did make some of them turn their heads but they are still dragons. It makes sense that they would hold back with the threat of another royal dragon coming after them." Gil had used his head and just rolled with it. But the look he was getting from Alma made him wonder if he had done something more than he meant.

"Well, when you stand beside me and say those things…I can't say I don't like it. But next time, I want you to speak my titles too." The slight red face made Gil wonder just what Alma was thinking. But he silently nodded and started to walk away. The dragonkin warriors left behind were dealing with the rogue dragon and Barry had given them a warning of the path ahead. Now they just needed to make it to the meeting point with the flame elves and they could begin negotiations for an even better future.
