Master Of None

When Walker made it inside the coliseum, he was surprised to see that it was empty and silent. The entire place had been cleaned by the staff and was waiting for the morning to come for the next day of battles. "Scylla, what's the point of standing here alone?"

This was what Walker really wanted to know. Scylla was standing in the central arena with her eyes closed. "There isn't one. This is new. There's no feeling of hard fought battles here. No blood in the air. The sounds of steel breaking aren't forged within the walls here yet. It's all empty."

For any demi-human, these sounds and smells were well known. Their culture relied on the coliseums to push their warriors to become better and better. "I wanted to start that all myself but I don't want to risk those that will perish because I am not on the battle field. My king is even going, how can I not be there?" Scylla had clenched fists. She was not happy with this decision at all.

"Rorick did not choose to go because he wanted to fight. He chose that because he has put investments in to Genesis as well. You are working on your position here. If you leave then the coliseum will never bring the multitude of histories that it has in your home city. Forge this coliseum first, then come and help us break the borders."

"You won't jump the border and try to free every demon before I am there?" Scylla sounded like a child that was looking for assurance.

"I wouldn't know the first thing about doing so. That's why we are waiting for all the armies to gather. It will be perfect. Without you, it would be worthless. How can there even be a battle without you?" Walker was feeling more and more awkward. He didn't know that Scylla had truly taken so much stock in personally freeing demons. It was something that Walker felt was very important for anyone to have in genesis.

"You understand that when my forces reach that border, we are pushing directly to the demon city and taking it by storm." The wind seemed to blow slightly at Scylla's determination. Walker felt that those within the tournament had better prepare extra for what she was going to push them in to.

"You can even try to recruit some people from the tournament to bring. I am sure some have already heard what's going on and will join anyways. But a chance to leave Genesis with a general?" The idea seemed to make Scylla even happier. It also caused a slightly larger breeze around the area.

"Then why am I standing here trying to hear the past battles of a new coliseum. It needs more fighters." She had left the coliseum to begin her preparations to change the battlers for the next day. It would be a very interesting occurrence.

"Why is it that everyone is so unique here in Genesis…? I swear they will tire me out to my death." Walker laughed while looking around at the coliseum. He was proud. Very proud of what Genesis was becoming. However, he was afraid of what it could lose. The demon corruption was more than a small issue.

Now that it was time to leave and do something about the demons, things would change. They had been biding their time to grow and prepare armies. Now they had to push everything along more than before. It would cause added stress but should speed up the freedom efforts of the demons who had been oppressed by their very own ruler.

"Midnight, don't think I can't see you there. You should be helping the hatchlings get their schedules set." Walker looked at Midnight who had been trying to use the shadows wrapping skill to hide away. She didn't seem to want to interrupt him while he had time to himself.

The huff of disapproval made Walker want to rebuttal right back. Yet, he didn't have the emotional energy. A lot was about to happen and he felt it was better to have peace.

"I know you saw me use the elemental dragon aspect earlier today. I tried to copy the shapes of your head and wings. I wanted to make sure I made the best possible dragon I could." Walker felt that midnight should hear his inspiration behind the learning of his skill.

This made Midnight feel much prouder of the dragon she would grow in to. She had been wondering what she would look like after a few more years of growth. Right now she was still tiny when compared to a dragon like Ignus or Mordant. They were ancient dragons with many years of growth behind them.

"I know what you're thinking. You aren't going to be like any of the other royal dragons. You have every elemental affinity because of our bond. You will be unique. Different from any other. I might even guess you will be able to use natural mana like me." The soft pat on her head made Midnight consider this more carefully. She had not really thought in depth about using natural mana.

"If you do use natural mana, I bet you and Fleur will get along better too. She won't always want to hang out with me." Walker knew that Fleur was curious about everything. She always seemed to be paying some form of attention to the world around her. Even when she was within the eternal orb or the spirit mark, Walker could feel Fleur paying attention.

The approving growl from Midnight caused Walker to snap out of his own thoughts. He let Midnight pull hearing back toward the cathedral. She knew that there were still many things to work on and would not be letting everyone get too far ahead of them. She also wanted to practice things in her dragonkin form before she left again.
