Master Of None

"I can see that it is much more important than I think. But I am limited to what I have seen. You are much more open than the other dragons we have met. There was one bonded with a tamer and it was arrogant but very very good at forging and controlling fire. Then, umm, Illia, was not as, well, as open."Â

"That right there is the issue. Say what you want without any fear of repercussions. A dragon is powerful and proud. Even if you are wrong you speak with force and stand for what you say." Adair had an angry tone in her voice that spoke to how important this was.Â

Walker swallowed and watched as Midnight gave him some inquisitive looks. She was used to him being kind and had even seen him angry. But overly proud and forceful was not part of his normal personality. "To say the least Illia was not the best representation of a dragon. I would say she is better off starting overall together. You are nearly an elder dragon, you can teach her better."Â

There was a small smirk on Adairs face before she became more serious. "I understand lord. I will do my utmost to educate her. The next time you meet her, she will be a completely different dragon worthy of walking your halls." Adair lowered her head for a moment.Â

"That's how people will respond to me when I am in a dragon village? That's even more proper than with our royalty." Walker could tell the difference. It was more stiff and each word carried a little of the energy and power Adair had. Walker would need to emulate this.Â

"That is exactly how every interaction may be when in the royal court. Outside of it, away from prying eyes between two royals or ancients and royals, well'¦ Let's say that they will be more forceful. Strength and purity is a great accomplishment for a dragon. That is why royals completely ignore battle unless they must go. They will focus on their element to purify themselves and become a pure elemental dragon. That is what I am and will be. I am a pure water dragon and when I become a pure ancient water dragon it will be a major boost in my power over water elements and water elemental dragons."

Adair looked very proud of herself but this was fair since it was a very tough process to do overcome. "The royal bloodline gives a major boost to the speed at which a dragon can understand the elemental mana. If I was a pure wind dragon I would be speaking to the honorable grand wind spirit there. Even if she is, a little childish." This was fair since Zephyr and every single wind spirit were more free and childish in their personalities.Â

"You may lack royal blood but you have equaled the status. You can obtain some royal blood if you so desire. There may be a way that you have earned the right for. Being able to manipulate natural mana is something that only one dragon ever accomplished on our current records. They were thought of as a mutt. They had affinities with every element and could not purify in to one path. They were rare when it came to affinities but weak in each one."Â

"Naturally, they were shunned. But after a sudden disappearance and five hundred years, they showed themselves again. They had made small visits to elemental havens for individual elements. They gained an understanding that equaled royals in single elements and found their true potential. They were the first nature dragon. The rarest we have to look up to. They created forests, razed armies, and even expanded the main village. However, their life was short. The world even gave quests to keep them alive longer. But we are all destined for the afterlife at some point. It was inevitable."Â

Walker was soaking the information up like a sponge. The fact that he could gain a better understanding by going to elementally concentrated areas was very good. He could make journies to places that would make him and Fleur stronger at some point. But that would be for another time.Â

There was also the fact that it was a rare occurrence for a dragon. Walker had also learned that it is a rare occurrence for most races. The elves had a higher chance to gain systems that used natural mana but it was not something that happened every day. Therefore, the fact that Walker could learn about and use the natural mana was a big deal. Or at least, he was not realizing how big a deal it was.Â

"If I show up and can prove my power and such as a royal dragon even though I am human, what could happen from there? Would I be forced to do anything after that?" Walker had a feeling that there may be more expected to him.Â

"Normally a royal is made to attend the court every fifty years at least. If they do not have enough for the meetings then they will go and drag another royal with them. It is not as dramatic as it sounds but it is common since a royal may not want to leave their training. You are a human, you are easier to take to court if they can find you."Â

"I see...I could be dragged to the court much more often. Even if it is not every fifty years I could be taken at a drop of a hat just to meet. That's if they accept me. But if they do it will make things easier for them. There is also a chance they can throw their power around to get my vote on things."  It was what some nobles did in the kingdom but not to such a degree.Â

"Now, you are starting to think like a royal dragon." Adair was glad that the point was made. She wanted Walkers' favor since no matter what he did he was not ranked above her in a dragon hierarchy. She did find it pleasant to have someone speak to her eye to eye, however.
