Master Of None

"Now, about the mana crystals that were supposed to come to my territory…Ventus! Where are they?" Rise had an ongoing problem with the wind dragons leaving the crystals in places that were nowhere near where they needed to be.

"My dragons should be able to fly freely in the air without burden. If they carry so many crystals so far it will affect their growth. As a proper royal I need to support them." It was just the excuse to be lazy that anyone would expect and even Walker was ready to shake his head in disappointment.

"That is unacceptable. You know that I am raising the next head of the generation. They need the light elemental crystal I should receive as compensation for allowing you uninterrupted flight through my village's air." The wind dragons were the ones to fly wherever the air elemental mana was strongest. If that took them above other dragon's territory then they were expected to pay a fair price as compensation to avoid troubles.

"And why don't the dragonkin deliver these to the villages?" Ignus thought that the two were being strange. They were fighting about something that should not be an issue. His dragonkin were more than capable to work and deliver traded crystals to Terron, so why couldn't theirs?

"Ehm, well there are certain dangers that my dragonkin and her dragonkin struggle with. I would prefer not to lose forty to fifty with a single delivery."Rise looked away knowing that she was about to get put in her place once again.

"She means rogue dragons. They have a scent for dragonkin. Light may be my opposite in most ways, but I am very glad you are my opposite in kicking out dragons from the nest." Mordant shook his head while melting slightly back in to the shadows to avoid the vicious glare from Rise.

"Then that settles that. We need to deal with those in your territory because you have isolated your villages. Ventus also needs to remain on task instead of flying freely. This has been a problem in the past with my trade of crystals to you." Current had needed to have tough words with Ventus before that led them to fight for a few days. Now that he had seen Ventus slacking again he was ready to show her just how much older and more powerful he was again.

"I will speak to my dragons but I will not tell them to go against the airflow. That is an absolute rule. If the worst happens then they will deliver later than planned." With Ventus, it seemed this was the best they could do. Catching the flow of the wind in a jar was near impossible. Therefore, everyone accepted it as it was.

"My elders have more things to do. They must prepare themselves for the longest day of the year. The sun will be highest and we will get the purest light-"

"And we know that is in months! So this will be something dealt with now while we have the court together. I put it to a vote. Clear out the territory of the light elemental villages so that they may resume proper movement through their territory and meet trade agreements." Current was done arguing. He had lost some merit in Rise's eyes but that was nothing when it came to the problem that Walker had slapped them with entirely.

Every royal raised a hand then started to rattle off numbers to help. Eventually, the eyes fell on Walker and Midnight who were watching carefully. "I will send the vice guild master of the adventurer's guild. He is better off working alone and has certain strengths. If you would like to see the strength of a human, he will be it." There was curiosity within everyone's eyes since they did to believe a single human capable of defeating a rogue dragon. They had chalked up Walker's victory to the fact that he, Midnight, and Su were all related to dragons.

"I agree. That should be fine." Current had spoken with the dragonkin who had met Barry. They had spoken as if he was more powerful than most dragonkin and could potentially rival an elder. Such praise was held back by the dragonkin as not to insult their elders and royals, but Barry was one of the most powerful in the human kingdoms, and having him represent them would help show off another reason for the royals to back Genesis. Walker didn't hesitate to send a notification to Clara to see if it could be done.

"Just send me the map to the location for him. He will leave as soon as possible. I promise you will see strength you do not expect." It felt like Walker was taking the dragons out to the world for the first time. He had not fully grasped just how isolated the dragons lived when they were in seclusion. They had missed many races grow and many things happen in the world.

"If I remember I heard that Current went to the oceans to deal with those annoying demonic krakens? Are they still an issue?" Ventus had been waiting to ask about this. The oceans were nearly as vast as the sky so she enjoyed flying over them. She had seen many ocean monsters but none that resembled krakens.

"It was an easy to solve problem. We could use to further follow up but that can be done by you and Rise. you travel over the oceans and will spot the largest of them if they escaped. However, they were still young." Current immediately roped Rise and Ventus in to this since they would all need to deal with the rogue dragon and trade issues. It was a sneaky way to get a little revenge for the problems caused.
