Master Of None

The dragonkin warriors had made their way to where the elders were resting around Current. They were in defensive stances and did not even flinch when Walker came over. Midnight swam up to Walker before he had gotten any closer to the dragons. She had seen him going there and did not want him to be alone. She knew that it was part of her duty to be with him when he met with the dragons.Â

"You do a good job. I saw you protecting Alice and Onyx. I will make sure we find something good to eat tonight." Midnight leaned in to Walker slightly to show her happiness in his praise. She had been working hard and her claws and scales were in need of a tough cleaning.Â

"You seem to be well off. The battle was easier than I had planned. That demi-human was very powerful for her young age. I will invite her to my village one day." Current sounded slightly tired but still stood up tall when Walker came. Neither were sure where Scylla had gone but what they did know was that she and the leviathans had played a major role in the battles.Â

"The reinforcements we received definitely helped. I was expecting the rest of the force to join you but I saw you didn't want anyone to take your victory." Walker was mentioning the use of Current's mastery skill. It was enough to put some subtle compliment with the fact that they had used a lot of power.Â

"You should witness it above the water. Or maybe you would never want to see such a thing." The light hearted attitude came from Current being happy that the threat had been removed. The kraken threat had brought stress to him and every dragon that remembered or had been educated on such past events. "Now, tell me, what was the cause of the mother krakens' rapid growth." Even though Current had been tired from the battle he had still easily taken note that Walker was investigating the kraken nest.Â

"Water geode. I marked a rock for the merfolk to come and claim. It gave the kraken mother enough mana to grow fast and powerful. It also is why the kraken mother made her nest here. The geode in the nearby rock should be enough to help the merfolk rebuild better than before. I think it is a small cost for them to be able to recover and join the genesis alliance. I do need to say, I believe you may have inspired their mages more than you expect." Since Walker had put out the fact that the rock he found would go to the merfolk, Current could not argue it. If he did argue it then there would be tension between him and Walker potentially carrying over to the royal dragon court.Â

"I am glad that their mages have learned a way to properly respect dragons. I did not believe they had learned joint spells to such a level. I was very impressed. I believe there are two or three young ice dragons under me that could teach them wonderful things." In all honesty, Current was interested in the merfolk mages. It had been some time since he saw such cooperation and it would go to inspire his own warriors and elder dragons. "My dragons will be taking back the kraken body. We will use them for food for my villages. The spawn are free to be taken by any others."Â

"I would rather see it go to you and the villages for good food. If we just left it here we could poison the ocean with rot." Fleur floated about with an approving look. The word rot was enough to make her show more emotion and get more animated. "Should I take it you will be leaving? Or will you stay around to keep an eye on things?" Walker expected Current to want to leave immediately.Â

"I will remain to collect the rouge pearl owed to me. Then I will return to prepare for the royal dragon court. I recommend that you think ahead now before it is too close." There was a lot of hidden meaning in Current's words. But Walker couldn't take the time to look in to it. He had a lot more to do and looking back at the nest, he found something that needed his attention.Â

"That sounds good to me. Then I will wish you a safe trip. I see that I need to go have a word with the tamers." Current also saw what Walker was focused on. If Walker had not spoken up he would have gone to deal with the issue himself. If Current had dealt with it though, there would be a lot of force used and it would be a very big scene.Â

Midnight huffed slightly as they left. Ciel was in his dragonkin form and bowed his head slightly. It was a respectful gesture to another dragon champion. As serious and cold as Ciel appeared, Walker could tell that he was very caring. It was a sort of sense that he couldn't explain but just knew from the depths of his being. There was just something in his eyes.Â

"Now, we have to deal with the tamers. I knew they might have some ulterior motives since they came with such a force. But there is no way they are leaving here with any kraken eggs. A single one of them left can cause so much damage. It is not a monster to be tamed." Midnight mirrored Walker's seriousness. They both knew the risks of letting a kraken leave here. Even if it was tamed, that did not mean it would be controlled. Even if it was controlled, the tamer would need to have very high morals to hold themselves back from potential evil.Â
