Master Of None

"Dragons." The whisper that escaped Gil's lips spoke of more than just dragons. It was the sheer wonder that came with seeing not only one dragon but a much large dragon that towered over them.Â

The entire party was struggling to take in this sight since they were witnessing two arguing and loud dragons which had Midnight right in between them. The mana that radiated from them in waves seemed to crush their spirits. However, this was nothing compared to what Walker and Su felt now.Â

Su was off like an arrow, she used her maximum speed and slammed the dual shield together in front of the frost dragon Ilia. "Your pathetic claws will never touch Midnight!" Taunting a dragon much more powerful than she was not wise but for her family? It was a no brainer.Â

Walker already had the twin blitz swords out. He moved faster and stepped in to the air to be at the same eye level as the water dragon elder in front of him. Midnight was protected on all sides but still, the others rushed to her.Â

Gil had four arrows notched in his bow while Remey had her fire affinity knuckles gnashing together in her hands. The two forging hammers that the wandering blacksmith had were two of his most durable made from a dark metal alloy he had created himself. When Onyx revealed himself coiled around Midnight at his largest possible size, it was as if they had all prepared for a life or death battle.Â

The tension that escalated by the second was tangible. No one dared to move while they looked at each other. It was inevitably broken by Illia, The large breath she took in was cold but the aura that came off of her was even colder. "You will be frozen to the very core of your souls for enslaving an innocent child!"Â

"Cease your mouth and attack or I will call you to the main village to bow before the royal dragon court!" The large elder water dragon focused only on Walker. "A human who dares to stand in challenge before me. I would say you are foolish since I feel how weak you are, but your reason is what makes you strong. Stand at ease, I will greet you a little better since you are family to the little champion there."Â

The shifting of blue scales and flood of water that shrouded the large elder water dragon would cause anyone to lose their barrings. It was too much motion and everyone that saw it became dizzy unless they were accustomed.Â

In a matter of a minute, the size of the elder water dragon had condensed and changed in to a dragonkin form. It was wondrous seeing the smooth horns before vibrant blue hair. The scales shifted to flowing blue robes. And even the wings became smaller and folded neatly behind her back. She was not old looking as anyone would assume an elder would be, instead, she was the picture of youth.Â

"Now, you should be more comfortable speaking with me looking this way. My daughter here has insulted and kidnapped your family. It has brought shame on our names and I do apologize. I understand what it means to lose family and can not imagine how you felt at that moment. I do not understand how you used teleportation magic but it is an impressive skill."Â

The shift in the atmosphere was enough to cause any of them to feel beaten around. The frost dragon Illia had stopped her attack after the threat of the royal dragon court and then she had shifted to such a warm appearance and apologized. It was a lot to take in with their hearts beating like hammers.Â

"I know you are a little flustered, but it is proper to answer an elders' question and introduce yourselves. Especially when that little champion needs to learn some proper manners from another dragon." A small amount of the pressure that they had felt before slipped from the elder water dragon and caused them all to come to reality and focus on the situation.Â

Walker had used his air ripple skill to step through the air and remain in position. He was burning mana and had been prepared to push as far as he needed to in battle. Bit now, he could feel the drain on him and he stepped back t the ground. "I-I, I am sorry for the slow introduction. My name is Walker, this is my family. Gil, Remey, Su, Onyx, Midnight, and our newer member who is more commonly known as the wandering blacksmith. I do not have spatial magic skills but for a storage skill. Another teleported is through some white tear in space to get here because Onyx called for our help."Â

Walker was very on edge saying all of this but it was clear that the elder water dragon expected politeness within its home. This was something that they could all feel would end their lives if they disregarded it.Â

"Ah, how refreshing. That is more like it. Now, Walker, I am Adair. I am a water dragon and my father gave me that name when I was born between the oaks near the river. I am surprised that little dragon received a name with meaning as well, she most certainly has scales like the dark of midnight with stars peeking through. I should assume you are the one that names her? I can see you two have a connection."Â

It was safe to say that they all felt naked in front of the elder water dragon Adair. Her eyes would focus on them one by one and seem to glean more information about them every single time. It was exactly the same as when Walker would sue his all around appraisal skill, but more domineering. It was something only the powerful could do.Â

"If you have the time Miss Adiar, I can gladly tell the story. However, can you please allow us to check my little sister and little brother for wellness?"Â
