Master Of None

The movement in and out of Genesis had been the single busiest aspect for weeks. People had been selling whatever they could to send to the walls while those freed from demon villages were brought back.

Many of the demons had chosen to give up their homes in the demon lands. There was too much pain there. Too many deaths had occurred to make their beds ever feel warm. Therefore, Genesis was able to fill many of the homes that had been built.

What was even more surprising, was the speed at which the youngest demons had started to accept things. Some of the children had taken up habit of asking strangers questions. The reason was simple, they had never been allowed to before this. Now that the demon children were in a place where they would not be killed for bothering someone, they could learn as any child would.

This became one of the single largest reasons that the adult demons began to relax. They saw that the children were not in danger for the first time in their lives. They saw the warm food being handed out. They saw the healers checking up on them. Most importantly, they saw the many races living together. Even goblins and spiders were speaking with elves and humans. Something that the demons knew to be an impossibility.

The soldiers that had been brought to the Genesis jailhouses were those that had been higher up. They had more information about what had been done to the demon people. What had been done for the plans to take the lands. This information would help those of Genesis plan how to sentence and deal with the many demons that embraced the painful system they raised on the suffering of others.

"Su, I am going to head to the alchemy guild. I need to talk to the old man and Trish. They should have been working too hard while I have been gone." Remey was a little pale. They had just returned yet she was going right to the alchemy guild.

"You need to sleep after speaking with them. If you do not, I will come there personally and break every cauldron you have in the building." As much as Remey knew that Su would never do such a thing, she felt that Su would certainly come to yell at her.

"Sister and I will go to check on the hatchlings," Onyx spoke of his abyssal and heavenly serpent students while also speaking of Midnight's students. They had been away for longer than they wanted. There were many things they needed to check up on to catch up and plan the future.

"That's fine. I know they will be in the cathedral waiting for you. I think the little dragon hatchlings also liked it there. I plan to head there after I go home to see my parents." Su gave Midnight and Onyx a soft pat on the head as they left. She felt exhausted from all the rushed traveling.

There was a lot that needed to be written down and spoken about with those that had also returned to Genesis. Luckily, they were all understanding and in roughly the same shape as Su. exhausted.

The battles and the current exploration of the demon lands was going to take a lot of energy. It would take a lot of time as well. Therefore, the leaders were returning slowly after setting up group leaders to defend ascertain places and map them out properly.

Ventus had done a great deal to help the mapping of the demon lands. Unfortunately, that was a rough map. Not a detailed map that showed potential streams, campsites, and underground areas. There was no prediction of how many more ruins there were in the demon lands.

Since Alice had come with them as well, she was following Onyx and Midnight to the cathedral. She wanted to see the high priest and tell him everything she had seen. There was something else she had to handle though. She had seen the many healers that had come from many places. They had helped greatly but Alice had learned a lot.

Many people noticed all of them as they walked toward where they desired to go. In particular, Midnight was gaining a lot of attention. Those that knew her were able to tell that she had grown over the last adventure to the demon land's capital city. The constant movement had made her muscles grow more. For a dragon, the pressure of constant movement was good for them, especially a young dragon like Midnight.

"Sister, the cathedral seems quieter than I remember." The surprisingness of silence was always a larger effect than that of a large sound.

Onyx, Midnight, and Alice had made it to the cathedral. However, with the many healers and nuns left to the demon lands, villages, and demon city things were pretty empty. Those that had returned were with those that had been harmed. There were multiple temporary camps outside the walls to help people before they moved in to the city. There were a lot of identification things to work out before the demons became official citizens of Genesis.

"Peace can be nice." Alice saw this as a chance to make things better for the cathedral. With fewer people around she could make some changes to the flow of patrons. When people were hurt, they often had to go through the cathedral for healing. That process was not the most efficient it could be. With her knowledge, Alice was one of the best people to make the small changes that would improve this flow.

Before any of them could look in to this more there was a slight commotion. The sound of claws and slithering came from the back of the cathedral where the entrance to the back rooms was. The sound was easy for them to know. The dragon hatchlings had been eagerly awaiting the return of Midnight since they heard the news that soldiers would be returning. The same could be said for the heavenly and abyssal serpents.

"Alice, two heavenly serpents have been born!" This was exceptional news. It was ahead of schedule and Onyx would be able to see multiple heavenly serpents living and growing. It was proving his goals more and more worth it. He only had his mental communication abilities to thank for this since he was able to hear the joyful thoughts of the abyssal serpents that had just shown themselves.

To say that the abyssal serpent hatchlings had grown would be an understatement. "You have all been working hard!" Onyx could only praise them. Their work to become stronger while he had been gone was exceptional. Through his communication, he was able to hear what they wanted to say to him. They had been constantly trying to improve to impress him by the time he returned.

"You have made it back safely." Ibis and the high priest stood behind the hatchlings and serpents. The pair was very happy to see them.

Midnight didn't have much of a chance. She was tackled by the dragon hatchlings who were having a hard time showing their excitement in any other way. They had not had a great amount of time with Midnight, however, she was a dragon champion. A true dragon champion. The hatchlings could feel within their bones that Midnight was an important figure. It was the aura she gave off having all affinities.

While she had been away, Midnight had not known how well the hatchlings would work toward their goals. Yet, seeing their excitement, she was sure that they had branched out a great deal. The two fire elemental dragons were the most changed. Their scales were a brighter red and they had a much healthier energy within them. This was dramatically different because of the life they had lived outside of a dragon village with the potential to become rogue dragons.

"My daughter, I am happy to see you safe." The high priest couldn't hold himself back from hugging Alice. He didn't want to let her go. "You look like you're ten feet taller! I swear in the heavens, you are all grown up. You need to stop adventuring or else you will be an adult with a home and family in the blink of an eye." The high priest was a little dramatic but he was a parent. This was the pitfall all parents fell in to.

"The hatchlings have been waiting for you. They could only tell those that newly hatched about the elder abyssal serpent that helped them grow. Even these two little ones have been waiting to meet their older sister." Ibis showed the two heavenly serpents and pointed out some younger abyssal serpents that had just hatched. Almost every egg was hatched now. It was perfect for them to begin growing as a race again
