Master Of None

Walker felt bad that he would have to wake Alice to move but it had been some time since she had sat down. Just when he was about to shake her to wake her up the high priest walked over and did it for him. He had been watching the two and was very pleased to see that their reunion had been purer than freshly fallen snow. He would want no one else to be his adoptive daughter's friend and hopefully more in the future.Â

"I may take the brunt of her annoyance, but let me help you out. You look like you have made a very serious decision." The high priest saw the resolve within Walker and knew that he had become ready to make the announcement he had been waiting for.

"Thank you. I promise I will take time to visit properly. I do have other souvenirs for everyone that Su and I picked out." He wanted to make sure the high priest knew he would be coming back with gifts. This only made the high priest chuckle as he woke up Alice and received an angry look for it. Walker held back the desire to call her cute or say awe.Â

When Walker moved to the middle of the area that the demons were resting and speaking they all slowly looked at him and grew silent. The entire cathedral followed suit and even Markus Reven who had fallen asleep himself was awake and standing toward the back waiting.Â

The rest of the party moved to stand by Walker and make sure that he felt supported. The elemental spirits that had been moving about and causing small bits of mischief returned as well causing the elemental mana around to fluctuate and make Walker appear to be more majestic than he was. It was a scene right out of any holy book.Â

"I can not say for what reason the world has given you a chain quest. I know that it seems impossible, but you all may be able to gain a system of your dreams. Congratulations." Walker paused as a lot of murmuring came through.Â

It appeared that Markus was not the only noble that had made it to the cathedral. There were many that spoke in hushed tones after the confirmation and began to scribble down letters. This appeared to be more valuable information than expected.Â

"I know it sounds easy. You have a chain quest, however, and that is not easy. It asks you to help free your people from corruption. The demon lord and his general. On who enslaved you, Pride, is part of the corruption I believe the quest speaks of. You must grow strong if you sit for this. I believe in every single one of you. As proof, I hope you all accept citizenship in the soon to be built Genesis city. It will be home to every single race no matter the standing. I can not imagine it without demons such as yourselves."Â

The murmuring uncreased and the demons this time looked as if they had just seen light for the first time. Walkers' words help hopes and dreams they had never been able to reach.Â

"Things may be slow and there may be many obstacles, but we will reach true peace. I believe that is the only way to discover more and find the way of the world. There is one thing that I hope for as well, that this will be the start of something amazing. That the world is revealing that not finding a system at first is not the end. That there are other ways no matter how much time has passed." Walker's claim brought louder murmurs but this time they sounded hopeful and warm. None daunted this and instead began to support it.Â

"For now, I am sure that the king would not turn you aside. You have a home in this kingdom and if necessary in the hero's mansion." Walker ended his speech with this and decided that the rest of the talk would be with the king since he needed to speak about the farmlands and the fact that war was breathing down their neck.Â

"To add to the leaders' statement, you all have tasks from what I understand. We hope to help you with them and you are welcome to ask us anything." Su made sure she added this. It brought even more hope to the demon's eyes.Â

"Actually'" One demon raised a hand and stood. "I see one of you has a bow. I have the chain quest requirements that I need to learn basic bow upkeep. I want to build bows for my brothers to use." The young man stood and pointed a twin demons next to him. They both were already clutching arrows in their hands. It appeared they had already met Gil and had been given two normal wither spike arrows.Â

Gil moved to him and instantly began discussing the subject. This broke the bubble and many other demons began to ask questions and walk to different party members. Markus Raven rushed off with a handful of other nobles. They had many reports to file and people to tell.Â

"Leader, there is a group of mages over there. I told them you would speak with them." Su Had thought that the only one here with enough ability to manipulate the elements was Walker and it would be the best way for them to learn something.Â

"Good idea, I will teach them the basics. If you and Remey want to make a list f the other quests details so we can get them to the right people after today that would work. I will also touch base with the high priest. I think they will be able to stay here for a few days at least." Walker relished the fact that he would be able to teach some magic before having to go and speak with the king about solutions to their food shortage. Their harvest festival was coming up and they wouldn't be able to even celebrate the bounty they had due to the fires.Â
