Master Of None

Walker relied on Onyx to pass on the conversation without alerting the two remaining kings. "Why did the system send them a notification to gather materials and build golems?" Walker could tell it must be for a big reason but it didn't make any sense at the moment. 

"We are going to be forging with them so we might need some materials for that. I think the miners will be the main providers." Gil could make this part out easily. The king of the deep caves would be the best person to ask for materials whether they were rare or not. 

"I can make a theory for the golems. If they are attending the summit having golems do the work is faster than having soldiers and other craftsmen that need rest. Golems also can lift more without danger." Su saw this as a great benefit. "The Genesis city building projects will progress much faster." 

"Well, there is still the sudden change that the king of the middle had. He was so easy to calm down after they all received some of the quests. I think they are more than we know." Walker wanted more information. The two kings they had theories for were easier to deal with but the king of the middle was the most stubborn. 

Before Walker could formulate what to say Remey spoke out, "What quest did you receive? We know what the other two kings have but you are the one that is leaving us in the dark." Remey was blunt and forward with her words and even surprised the king of the middle. 

The king of the deep caves who was already up and about to leave stopped and smiled, "You see why I like this one? She is just as much a dwarf as we are." The laughter was deep and hearty which pushed the king of the middle even more. 

"You show up and make demands of me and my people but you also rushed in to danger and assisted us without too much question. I can bend a little here" The king of the middle seemed ready to give in. "The quest I received is called, the path to sentient weapons." 

This was the dream of every dwarf. It perfectly explained why the king of the middle would suddenly change his tune. There was no other way for him to suddenly switch his feelings. Walker was also surprised that the title of his quest was directly related to the sentient weapons the dwarves wanted to achieve so badly. If that was the case then that meant the party would be able to make major advances in the pursuit. 

"Well, you can all go your own ways. I expect to hear some good news soon." The king of the deep caves walked right out of the room and was making a fast paced line right for the caves. Walker wanted to ask him what specific materials they were getting for them but he didn't want to stop the king from making progress. 

"Agreed, please head out to where you desire to be. I have called every alchemist to the main alchemy labs. My guards will escort you there." The king of the middle gave Remey a nod and a royal guard appeared at the door. 

"Sounds good to me. Here you go. This is the altered fire extinguishing equipment. I think Walker and Gil can bring it to the forge so that the dwarves can make more or even add them to your golems." Remey left the room as well. 

"There are many still injured that need me. Onyx, can you come with me again? The injured that couldn't speak are your patients and can not be helped with out you." Su had grown to rely on Onyx in their healing efforts had played a large role and moved tighter around Su's shoulders. 

"Of course I will assist you. I believe there is no where better for me to be." Walker was proud of Onyx taking this position. He was sure to let Onyx feel this as well. Midnight also was showing Onyx a great amount of pride from her looks since she knew her little brother would rise up to do the best he could. 

"That leaves us." Gil was ready to head to the high forge after Su and Onyx headed out as well. 

"If I remember right you asked about Grey, right? There are a few things you should know about how he acts and the apprentices he sends out." The king of the middle was ready to send them on their way too but decided a warning was appropriate. 

"Is there something wrong? I am p[retty sure we saw him for a few moments?" Walker was sure that there wasn't anything that appeared wrong with the dwarf golem builder when they saw him. 

"He is a normal golem builder. But when he gets in to something he has a very strange tendency to get out of hand. The last time he was caught up with inspirations from some spider fangs he ended up creating a spider golem that spun copper wire as thread and created copper fabrics. It was an amazing creation but...It was also exactly like the spider it came from and often caught other golems in a web it made."

Walker and Gil understood now. The golem builder Grey would make unique golems for sure. However, he would make them act realistically which could cause some harm. "Thank you for this. We will maintain our awareness around his unique golems. In the worst case, we will have Midnight nearby to assist us in keeping one at bay." Walker assured the king of this as he walked out as well. 

Midnight was very energetic and almost pranced her way out the door. She wanted to be the amazing dragon that came and shook the forge with new creations. Her memory of the tamers' guild blacksmiths echoing within her mind.
