Master Of None

"I am coming Midnight, why are you so excited?" Walker could sense that Midnight desperately wanted him to come to her. But he had no idea why. Just that she was very excited and very happy. More than she had been in some time. The fact that he and the others were helping the vampires and helping create a better place within these ruins was just part of what was happening. He was also taking the time to explain to the other leader of the Genesis forces what their next move might be. The knowledge that there was some fragment that attacked the word to the elemental planes was shocking enough. Now one had heard of this since the knowledge was more or less lost to time. That made sense with how the ancient times were. Violent and full of monsters or wars. They would never have been able to keep this knowledge. Even the angels' ruins had never mentioned something like that. Therefore, it was also incredibly rare that a fragment of elemental anything would appear. The studies that came together just to discover and use the knowledge that came with this fragment would not be easy to understand. It was also lost and in pieces due to the inner fighting of the vampires. While in ancient times, the vampire race had fought one another for superiority. They had fallen victim to the greatest downfall of intelligent races, themselves. They allowed their emotions to counter their ubiquity. They allowed their sins to outweigh themselves when it came to their survivability. When they realized these things, a monster had already enslaved the remainder of the race. Ahd already caused a lot of losses that could not be recovered. Furthermore, there was a lot of lost intelligence since the vampires enslaved could continue their research, preservation of research, or anything else related to it. "You can't sense it yet?" When Ventus landed beside Walker, she looked at him curiously. She had expected that Walker would be the one to sense things first. He had more sensitivity. to mana. More focus on his bonds. And overall, just more intuition in general. "Ah, I am a mother. I was the more recent dragon to have eggs around to protect. Of course I would sense the cry of a young one." The mumbling made Walker wonder what Ventus was saying, but the tone she spoke in was too little. It was more clear that she was intentionally hiding the details from him. And her follow up smile made him very certain of this. "Midnight, there you are." Walker was surprised that Remey and Midnight had pushed away a lot of crumbling rubble from some of the ruins. They had made a fairly clean and clear space where they could sit down with even more space to move around. It was saver odd that they would do this, but resting somewhere with comfort wasn't something that Walker would be unhappy with. "Finally, Midnight thought that you would let us sit here for ages." Remey tried to reprimand Walker, but her small smile made him understand that she was more than excited that he had come too. "Just give them a moment. You rushed here, now let them share what they have to share. And make sure that Su comes along too. She will be very happy to understand the feeling from that little one." Walker furrowed his brow when he heard Ventus mention that little one. He didn't know what Su would be interested in whatever was going on. "Close your eyes, and when you open them, use the all around appraisal right away." Midnight nodded a few times to support what Remey had said. Naturally, Walker would not say anything against it. He had to just go along with what he was asked. Closing his eyes, he heard Ventus gasp softly before making a small growling noise that could be better described as a pur. It was a peaceful note that made Walker feel that he was seeing a side of a dragon that he had not been able to witness. That he couldn't mimic either. He just lacked the knowledge because he lacked an experience behind it. As his eyes opened and focused on the red and black striped egg, Walker activated the all around appraisal skill only to wonder how wide his eyes could open. 'Vampiric blood and shadow dragon egg. The last of the vampire dragon species of dragon, this egg was kept dormant by a mother's life sacrifice. Using the nearly immortal life span and all the mana that came with it, runes were embedded around and on this egg to allow it to survive as long as possible for there to be a willing dragon to rescue and care for it. Due to this, it is in dire need of mana from the surrounding. Darkness mana will feed its soul, and blood can allow it to strengthen its body. If done correctly, this dragon can hatch and be allowed to grow in the world to return it species of dragon that used to reign powerfully over the vampire race alongside the strongest of vampires. While it has the affinity for darkness and a sub set of life mana, blood, it holds the concentrated blood of the vampire dragon overall. Therefore, it can return other species of vampire dragons back to the world if it is able to reproduce when it is of age. It also has the very high potential to be able to become an arch vampire dragon. The highest of vampiric dragons that can live among the vampires. They are known for their knowledge and their deep bond with other vampires. This is why they once stood as some of the staunch protectors of their vampire counter parts along with living amongst them in vampire forms. They may be lost to the world for a long period of time, but they were a connection that allowed the greater understanding of manas that the dragon race has lost due to the splitting of their race many generations ago…'

This was another pieces of history that Walker was stunned by. He quickly explained to Ventus everything he had just learned. Even Remey and Midnight were more excited seeing what they had learned from the all around appraisal. They had no idea what they might learn. What they might not know. But this was amazing to say the least. "We will have to raise it. The vampires will have an important symbol that they might not remember returned to them. The dragons, well, we will have a pieces of your race returned to us that was nearly lost forever." Ventus cooed as she caressed the little egg. Ehr motherly instincts fully awakening even though her children had grown older and were on their own journeys to test themselves. "And even if this is just a way for the dragon race to become a little more whole, I wish to learn more. We might have records in that castle about the dragons that used to live here. Abitu what the system appraisal means when it came to splitting of your race. Not that I can't guess." Vnetus looked at Walker who already grasped what she meant. "Many dragons used to go to the elemental planes on their own. We already know that dominator dragons needed to so that they could grow. We learned that in the ruins and form the tablets. But we now knew that there might be more dragons there than what we know. Especially since many years passed without dominator dragons existing." It made a lot of sense that the dragon race was split between these elemental planes and the world. The space between them was corrupted, chaotic mana, that they could not reverse. The royal dragons had attempted that int he past. Many of them leaving their positions to the younger royal dragoons only to disappear in to that vid of chaos. Or to be told that they should never try and go there due to the dangers. Mordant was the only one that had seen a portion of this. When he slipped deep in the shadows to travel through the darkness to get somewhere faster, he would be able to sense the darkness elemental plane. But he knew trying to get to it was dangerous. Was something that would get him killed. He knew better than to attempt that. "So, we are going to find the best person to raise this dragon so that they can become strong enough, right Walker?" Midnight and Remey looked at Walker when Remey spoke. She could care less about the history of things. She wanted to ensure that the little egg that Midnight had scooped back up in a hug had a future. They had found something precious after all. …
