Master Of None

"I have already planned that out with our talented friend here. I left plans to upgrade existing armor last time we were here." Mordant pointed to a blueprint posted on a wall. It appeared to be very firm fitting armor that would cover Mordant's entire dragon form.

"Hm, maybe I should consider new armor…no I don't need it." Walker had his spectacular armor for defense and important events. He knew he did it need more just because he felt pressured about the royal dragons getting them.

"Should we be worried that Ignus seems too jovial? I didn't think he could act like that. Maybe it's just because he took a liking to the wandering blacksmith when he found him in the past." It was odd watching how Ignus even joked with the wandering blacksmiths.

"If I recall, that is one of the few non dragon relationships he has had in life. He bragged about his armor for a few years." Mordant remembered being very annoyed at the fiery bragging about armor and finding a hidden blacksmith with unique ideas.

"That sounds about right from what I've seen of Ignus. At least it looks like he's finished up." Walker looked at the wandering blacksmith heading toward the back of the forge.

"I told him to get some rest before even trying to modify my designs. They'll take some time to properly change, teach, and forge." Ignus spoke as if he had done the most casual thing ever.

"How did you manage that? He'll work on projects for days upon days…" this was certainly an impressive feat to achieve.

Ignus just stayed silent with a smirk on his face. He wasn't going to reveal his tricks to anyone. "Now show me this home that Mordant was built for him as well. I need to see if it is everything it's been said to be." Ignus would not allow anything to pass him by.

Meanwhile…

Midnight was carefully looking at the two new hatchlings. They were surprisingly close and from what she could see by the orange and red scales, they were older sister and younger brother. She liked this because it reminded her of Onyx and her relationship.

Every time that Midnight would get too close to the younger hatchling the older sister would get more defensive. However, this was not an issue. It was just how a sibling should act.

Luckily, the three hatchlings that Mordant had brought were more curious and less intimidating compared to the two larger fire affinity hatchlings. This also applies to the three being less intimidating than Midnight who gave off a much more oppressive aura due to her true dragon champion bloodline.

The hatchlings with the appraisal skill had already used it on the two fire affinity hatchlings to see what she could understand. She was very intuitive and found that she was more curious about them and what they could do. None of the hatchlings had ever met another affinity dragon before.

"Good, I managed to catch up to you. I wasn't sure if you would have made it to the check ups yet." Su found that Midnight and the hatchlings were in a quiet part of the square which was still fairly cleared after Ignus had landed. People were not keen to potentially anger a dragon so they held back.

Midnight huffed softly at the sudden appearance of Su. She wasn't sure how to approach the fearful hatchlings.

"Midnight, from what it seems these two are older than the other three. I would bet they were left alone without much teaching at all for some time." Getting this perspective from Su would help Midnight meet the hatchlings in the middle to understand each other.

This led Midnight to use what she knew best. Food. She burst in to a continuous symphony of small growls which escorted the three hatchlings who understood that Midnight would be bringing them to a good surprise that they could eat.

The fire affinity hatchlings were intrigued by this. They could comprehend the promise of food. Since they had not eaten much but the scraps they had found from other monsters' kills in the lava lands. This made them much more interested but skeptical to just receive food.

"I'll stay next to the two new arrivals. You keep those three in check." Su let Midnight handle the rambunctious three who knew they were about to get a feast.

Out of all the places in Genesis, Midnight could only choose one place to eat. It had to be Hilda's bakery. As Walker's mother Hilda was also Midnight's adoptive mother. Therefore, Hilda would be family to these hatchlings just the same as Midnight was.

Approaching Hilda's bakery proved slightly tough. There were a decent number of people outside talking and eating bread or sandwiches that were snakes fresh. Yet, when Midnight with the hatchlings and Su approached they made some room for her. Most people knew who she was.

"Thank you. We are just grabbing some food for the hatchlings." Su was sure to thank the people who gave them space. Midnight did not hold back once inside. She bypassed two employees that worked the counter who just watched in surprise and Midnight snuck through toward the oven.

"What brings you here? Shouldn't you be busy with that dragon who flew in?" The noise of the oven burning attracted the attention of the two new fire affinity hatchlings. The warmth they felt was enough to somewhat break the tension. They weren't the happiest to leave the warm comfort of the lava.

"And you have two new little ones to watch. Hello there, if you like my stone oven so much you are always welcome to come see me. I just happen to have taken out a small roast testing some spicy dried peppers I bartered for from the forest elves." Hilda was very proud of her new creation. She was attempting it to appeal to the flame elves who might appreciate the hot spices.
