Master Of None

"Walker, You stored all the crates right?" Remey was on Walker's case because he had left her at the cathedral entrance double checking crates before he stored them. When she had gone to tell him that everything was perfect he had been nowhere to be found.

"Yes, stored away and ready to go." He had been pretending that there was nothing wrong to avoid a fight.

"Seriously? You two are still not ready? I have been ready for hours." Gil was still trying to finish an arrow since he had been waiting for a while. Without Alma telling him he would need more than he thought, he would have been done and helping the others prepare.

"No more arguing. We are going to head out. There are already two groups of healers, ten adventuring groups, three tamer groups, and even a few scouting groups that have left. We are behind." Su had been sure to count the groups that left ahead of them. It was motivation to move efficiently toward the border.

"Onyx and Midnight, you are both sure that your students are ready to be left alone? Ibis is alright with it? All of the mentors you find for the dragons are alright with it?" Midnight and Onyx were not going to dispute this. They nodded, waiting to be on the way.

As much as Onyx had said he might not leave with them, he had been able to make it work. Ibis had heard the commotion and already prepared everything ahead of Onyx's arrival. With that, Onyx had found himself very impressed. Ibis was taking a great lead to keep the hatchlings on par with the teaching they had already received.

The mentors that Midnight had already introduced the dragon hatchlings to were more than happy to set up a longer term study for them. They knew that their various professions would be busy. That alone meant a lot of learning situations just waiting for anyone that needed the experience. An ideal situation for them.

"Brother, we should leave now. I think it will be better to head out before the morning is lost." Onyx felt nervous energy. He wanted to get to where they needed to be so that they could help more people.

"You're right. We will head out now." Walker looked back at Genesis and was slightly sad to be leaving again. He would miss the last of the battles, the armies gathered, and even the new elven cities joining Alma. he had wanted to be there for every single moment of it. But he had to be where he could do the most for those in need.

"We are just going to head south from here, right? The demon lands border all of the southern lands right?" Gil was sure that he remembered the vastness of the demon lands. The demonic monsters that lived there were the reasons for such a large area being set aside.

The high magical ability of multiple monsters was the major reasoning behind the demon lands being so large. A very small portion of it was actually inhabited by intellectual races. Mainly only the demons. Other than that there were rumors that some dragons may have gone there but from what Walker had learned, there were no dragon villages there.

"I just worry about what else might be crossing the borders. If the demons are in madness and there is something leading them. there might be monsters too that have crossed the borders. It could be a challenge." Su worried about this the most.

"There will be a focus on specific points. I assume that there will be places where it will be easier for enemies, refugees, and us to cross." Gil had already thought about this. The border was long. There was no way that a massive force could be at every single spot along the walls made to defend against the demons.

This was one benefit of the p[ast. The walls were enough to hold back the corrupt demons alo9ng with the demonic monsters. That way they didn't run in to the kingdoms built up north. The only issue was that their walls had been built so long ago by multiple races that the wall was sure to fail in certain places.

"We will meet the main problem area first. That way they can get the supplies they need. From there we will let them distribute potions along the entire wall. From there, we wait for the reinforcements to get there." Walker wanted to be clear on his plan. He wasn't going to do anything risky. There was too much danger.

"As long as the potions get to everyone that needs them. You have my special crate, right? Trish helped me make a lot of explosive potions in small and larger sizes." Remey was sure that there would be larger groups of enemies. That meant they needed area of effect skills or attacks.

"Those are the potions that need alchemy fire to start a reaction, right?" Gil had overheard Remey talking about them to Su earlier.

"Exactly. They are made to react only when alchemy fire is added. That makes them safer for transport and around my waist in battle." There was a proud tone in Remey's voice. She and Trish had worked hard to create safer explosive potions.

"If you and I work together with those potions, we could do a lot." Gil would rarely partner up with Remey, however, if she were to throw a potion and let him fire an alchemy fire arrow at them, then it could do very well.

"I like the idea." Remey and Gil started to get in to strategizing. This was the first time they would face a lot of trained enemies. Especially enemies that would not hold back from unspeakable evils. They had to be more than just prepared.
