Master Of None

Many of the soldiers had not been carried by dragons. However, they knew that the dragonkin and some of the others had been before. What struck them was the fact that the dragonkin all moved to thank the dragons immediately when this was decided. The respect they had was ingrained within them. But to be carried by their lords was more than just an honor. It was a great promise that they were trusted to be with their lords under any circumstance.

That was why the strongest dragonkin had come with them. The royal dragons had not selected just any dragonkin. They had brought their best of the best with them. While some had remained at the ships, at the embassy, and would also remain with Terron in the earth wyvern cave, they still moved with the entire army.

Luckily, the dragonkin had not just kept their mouths shut. They had been bonding with the other soldiers of Genesis closely. They had already figured out that there were many ways for them to get along. whether it was training or just general learning about their races. The dragonkin had expressed their beliefs and the fact that the dragons were their lords. protectors and leaders. Therefore, the soldiers knew how big a deal it was to be carried anywhere by the royal dragons.

"I will make you the stone carriers you want. I have no reason not to." Terron had been sure that the others would reject this idea as they thought more. He knew that they were not stubborn as he was, yet, he knew that they were more prideful.

"We have to deal with the things causing us issues. We already have allowed for certain insults from the demons, now we are insulted again. Our history was nearly destroyed. One of those that fell under the dragon's protection was harmed. It was a threat, an insult, and a blunt attack." Rise showed her teeth more and more as she spoke.

From what Walker could see, she was already unhappy about undead gaining strength around here. But with the ancient dragon ruins as treasures hidden away within the Sigil continent available for them to find, even the slightest little thing was enough to add to her anger. The demon king and his slime breeder were enough to push her right to an edge.

"I would normally disagree with the violent intentions, but right now I am in complete agreement. Terron, while you stay here and guide the new race to represent their ancestors and our ancestors properly, we will clean up the mess of our ancestors as well." Current spoke out against for the first time in a little while. He was thinking about the dragon history on Sigil and how to properly reclaim it and clean the remnants that had become dishonest.

The rest of the party including a few of the soldiers that witnessed this ongoing conversations started to get the feeling that they were now being swept up in things and not really putting things in to action themselves. Walker had seen this coming though and was sure that it would work out for the best. '

The main reason that Walker felt this way was that the dragons had a good attitude. They wanted to help others while also keeping their reputation on high. That meant that the dragons had already altered their mindset to stop thinking of just themselves. They had begun to add in other races and the state of the world around them to their plans.

The rumbling of stone becoming multiple large carriers that were similar to the one that Walker had in his storage made the angels wonder what was happening. A few of the wyverns even approached against their better judgment. It seemed the curiosity that the awakening young wyverns had for Terron was blooming already.

Now that the earth wyverns had lessened their anger and instinctual anger, they were able to think more clearly. The older wyverns were the fastest to begin to rethink their actions and try to understand themselves. The younger wyverns started to explore and try different things. That meant that Terron was now the most interesting thing to them. A powerful source of mysteries when it came to earth affinity along with strength. Whether they were afraid or not, they tried to look at him.

This also made Su a small target for their curiosity. She was easier to approach and the earth affinity they felt from her and the grand earth spirit made certain that she was a strong mystery. They could sense it and Su didn't hide that she knew they were looking at her. Those that approached were not pushed away by strength either. That meant she was willing to let them near her for a while to learn what she might be able to do.

Unfortunately, time was of the essence and Su could not show them the same time and kindness she would show curious children or any other person. She had to make sure she was leaving with the others. The wyverns also felt the slight stress and understood they would be in the way. The instincts monsters and beasts had was enough for them to know to stay slightly away as the dragons took their full forms again and the angels started to truly push themselves to follow.

Seran saw the Genesis forces moving to leave and started to sweat a bit. He couldn't leave. He had a duty to be here with the wyverns and monitor them. That took precedence over leaving for anything else. Even though the threat might eat away at him, he had to focus on the promises he made and the world quest he was given. Not that he believed the other royal dragons needed him. It was better for them to pursue this matter.

Terron was defensive by nature. Earth was strong and tough. That meant that the royal dragons were losing a defender. Where would the defender be best? Protecting a new race or leaving to become an attacking force? Not that a dragon could be labeled as just a defender or attacker. Their strength was more than just that.

"We have a general location for where we are going, but the life mages should be able to guide us further." Walker interrupted and made sure that the royal dragons heard him. He wanted to make sure that they would not keep harping on their negative feelings for the situations they were in. He also wanted to make sure that they were keeping in mind that everyone going with them would be preparing to push themselves to battle as much as possible regardless of the enemy.

"The sooner we leave together the better. I would use my skills to move all of us if I could. Unfortunately, that would leave me weaker than flying will.' Mordant lamented the lack of strength he had in this means. He had taken Walker in to the shadows. The very edge of what was between the world as it was and the darkness plane of existence. A dangerous and taxing skill. If he could do this with an army… Well, the uses were unprecedented.

"Forget that, we are leaving now or we will be forced to stay forever. The more we push this off the worse it becomes." Ignus growled out making sure to push everyone in to movement. The silent agreement from Ventus made certain that they were under the gaze of her eyes. She was sure that the desert would hold a lot of secrets. Dragon or otherwise.

"They are really just going to carry us?" Walker heard one of the life mages asking Alice this. Her nod in approval made them wonder just how things would work out. But what made the party smile was the fact that all of those who had not traveled with a dragon would soon understand things.

Their experiences had not been simple the first time they were carried as such. They were forced to endure the powerful wind that came with the strength that dragons had while flying. Even worse would be the fact that Ventus was clearly ready to help all of them fly even faster. "I think I will make sure that Zephyr and I keep everyone a little more protected. Walker, can you help me with some wind buffing skills?" Gil's idea was brilliant and Walker had no reason to argue with it.

While the royal dragons looked at the two a little unhappy, they understood the need to keep the soldiers ready for battle at the drop of a hat. Plus, Walker was ready to try to learn a new buff. A skill that defended from wind and boosted wind resistance would be useful if a sandstorm blew up. Not to mention useful to prove his theories about more elemental resistance buffs he had from a while ago.
