Master Of None

"Is everyone ready?" Walker looked around and behind him. He was impressed with everyone. The shining scales of the dragonkin and the royal dragons made it feel that they were royalty without even having background information.

The elves had changed in to the best battle armors and cleaned everything perfectly. It was as if he was looking at an elite group of elves prepared to do their best in every single task assigned to them. Walker would never doubt their skills in a single aspect of this trip.

The demi-human warriors were the most disgruntled but had combed fur, washed faces, and even were pushed to keep their armors in line. From this point of view, Walker wondered if it would be more of a challenge to stay this way or keep them from intentionally dirtying their armors again while fighting amongst themselves. It was very comical to see them this way.

The tamers were the most impressive by comparison. All of them had been whipped in to shape by Elise and Stella. For two very sweet people, they were very harsh. Many of the tamers had needed her approval to be able to show themselves. Those that did not pass her inspection had to fix everything she told them or be left out of the march only to return to the ships by themselves. It was a little scary to witness.

The healers looked perfect and pure in their white healer's robes. Alice led their way with the white and gold healer's robes that Lisa had made her. There was a great aura of light that seemed to follow them. Walker swore that people could receive healing just by being near them. That was their nature though, to help others no matter what.

There were a few mixed forces among the groups that Alma had assembled; she had grouped the humans and demons together. Their strong magic of the demons and the strategic battle style of humans seemed to work well so this was a great choice. Especially since the humans had taken it to heart to educate the demons about looking their best. The demons had naturally accepted this and even grown closer to the humans as they learned these things. Walker's heart could only grow to embrace that humans had shifted and followed his lead in welcoming the demons to Genesis like him.

The odd other groups formed by some demi-humans that could fly with the harpies were even more shocking since it made an entire flying group that stayed with them. This would have its own impact as they all waltzed in the area of the embassy to make a large impression. The first step would be to get within sight of the patrol and make a proper appearance.

"Alice, would you mind making a signal for us?" Walker knew that Alice had a song for this. She had tried to hide the quick scribbles she made in her song book while they took breaks and snacked. But Walker had seen her slight smiles and excited expression. This didn't ruin her surprise.

She looked around at the party a little shy before she raised her hand and grasped at the sun. "Please welcome the Heart of Genesis, a ballad of unity." She had gone so far to name it which meant she had attached much more than just her feelings to this song. Alice had attached the deepest beliefs in Genesis's future within this song so that she could show what she believed would be the future of Genesis.

A soft light glowed before Words of struggle broke through the air. Higher and lower pitched singers joined in, the healers might not all have the skills Alice did but they didn't hesitate to join in as they had learned her song as well. The light became stronger as the song grew, golden auroras blossomed over their heads.

With a single unified step, everyone marched forward. They only needed half an hour to reach an expansive plain with a massive building within the center. It took only seconds for little dots to appear in the distant sky while they marched forward.

"Onyx, show off your size a little. My fellow dragons, fly!" Walker spoke with steel. He was ready to show exactly what his will looked like.

This had been what they were waiting for. Every dragon took to the sky, even Terron. Flying in a circle around the light that Alice's song making the air full of more than just light elemental mana. The golden light reflected this as it seemed to bind with the addition of natural mana that Walker calmly provided.

Before the small dots that had been approaching neared them, Walker roared out a dragon's roar full of reverence and might. It was met with the royal dragon's roaring as well. Midnight had joined in along with an abrupt shout from every soldier marching with them. This was the peak of Alice's song.

"Don't forget the elves." Alma waved her hand and sent many elves forward. They scatter seeds upon the great plane ahead of them in a line. This simple motion was nothing until Alma placed her hands upon the ground calling to the seeds. In a single flash of green, small grasses grew and bloomed with small white flowers. They were not toxic but gave off a sweet vanilla scent. It welcomed many to rest and relax. It was a simple but beautiful.

This march toward the embassy brought out many angles in to the sky. Some came from the forests around the embassy and in to the plains while others were from the embassy itself. Walker's group had not come directly from the central border but from the slightly north side of the Rize empire. This was nothing to misunderstand though, there was clearly no way that these people were from the Rize empire at all.

From what Gil could see, there were over a hundred angels in different armors that appeared. Some wore black and darker themed armors while others wore lighter pale white armors. This was the difference in attire for soldiers from either the Fel or Rize empires. The Fel being darker and the Rize being lighter.

However, when Gil saw a larger angel with dark armor and a larger angel with lighter armor moving toward them, he alerted Walker. "They have four wings each. I assume that means that they are ranked higher than other angels. Is that one of those archangels?" Gil wanted to know but Walker couldn't tell. He had never seen an archangel.

"Here come the merchants to join us." Su and Remey both saw them at the same time before the merchant angels returned.

"We are here to join you in the march. They know you are not here to fight but you scared them.' The angels tried to kneel before Walker but he stopped them immediately.

"I'm not a king or anything. In Genesis, all are equal, which means you will be too when you go there." Walker left them a little stunned. That wasn't how angels worked at all. They had to bow a knee to the powerful. To those with more wings, but these people didn't care. It struck a chord in the merchant's hearts. Elane could only wonder what genesis must be like for this to be one of their beliefs.

"I should put in more effort since I took the lead, right?" Midnight huffed back in approval. Onyx just glanced at Walker waiting to watch it all happen. "That's what I thought. Let's make a dragon aspect."

Elemental mana surged around Walker forming wings and features similar to a dragon's. Using more mana than normal, Walker pushed the elemental dragon aspect to take a more defined shape. He took the claws of Terron to be made from earth, the wings of Ventus, the scales of Ignus with flames, the horns of Rise, the arms and legs of Mordant, the tail of Rise, and the eyes of Current. It created a wondrous picture uniting the elemental might of dragons.

Not only that, but it embodied the nature dragon that the royal dragons wanted to see in their lives. It might not have been perfect since the tales they had heard from their elder were different, however, it was still a wonder beyond what any dragon had seen as of yet. It was an example of why they should be together and not apart. It reinforced Walker's beliefs.

"The Genesis Representatives have come to call for the Rize and Fell empires. Let us sit at the same table and share our wonders. Speak our piece. Understand our futures." Walker used the wind elemental mana to make his voice boom over the entire area. It was enough to say that he had directly ordered the entire embassy to open up to him.

In response, the two four winged angels flew toward him slowly. There were solid looks on their faces forged by many years of fighting. Yet, Walker could still feel that he had inspired a bit of awe in their eyes.
