Master Of None

The pens that everyone took to sign were specially made with mana infused ink. This was a magic contract that would bind them all together. No one would be able to violate these laws and if they did they would need to suffer appropriate consequences.

"For a reminder. We will help each other in freeing the demon people from their oppressors and clan the corruption. They will be allowed to join us and thrive as well. Any sentient monster that becomes a race will be welcomed. Until that point, they may come for assistance in becoming a race. We are all equal here and no matter your status in your own kingdom you will not be exempt from any laws."

The statement had already been agreed upon but Walker felt that reiterating it while the signed was the right thing to do. Their signatures glowed and every single member of the party signed. Onyx and Midnight used a small stamp on their adventurers' guild plaque to mark their signature as well.

"I will support your village. Upon the decision of the royal court, I will sign. But until then, I will watch and see what shall happen. I can not say if this radical thinking will be accepted by all my fellow royals, but you have something unique." There was no longer pressure in Current's words. Instead, everyone could feel as if it was a father looking at their child. There was an unspoken tenderness that showed just how excited they were to see them grow.

"I look forward to the final decision. But know this, if the court does not support it. That will not stop me from carving this path for all people. Even those that deny it." The party stood taller and narrowed their eyes in determination. Onyx hissed which was a very rare action for him and Midnight raised her head to huff out a small golden flame of determination. They were more than just some adventurers that would try to do something. They were the omnipotent party of heroes that would cut the path to equality they saw in the future.

"That being said. I believe three days is enough to prepare for all of us to leave and begin travel to the port towns." As much as everyone would like more time to prepare their aid, the rulers knew that it was a matter of time before the merfolk would be lost. Three days was the bare minimum that everything could be communicated and sent. Meaning that those preparing would be rushed the entire time and push themselves hard.

"I will leave and prepare some potions. I believe there are some that can boost stamina and healing." No one stopped Remey from rushing out. She and the other alchemists would be hard at work for at least an entire day.

"I will follow her example and begin to make some arrows that will assist everyone. Any archers that can come can join me." Gil was sure that Alma and queen Reina would direct some of the enforcers to Gil. The mages may be able to make them breathe underwater while the archers can focus on the offense.

"I will have my elder dragons here and give their young a chance to rise. Ciel, you will lead them while I focus on the mother. I expect you to perform your best." Ciel didn't hesitate to leave the room. If he had stopped to speak he would have been insulting his royal. The one he had sworn to protect for his entire life. It was something that Walker and Midnight did not miss.

"Rorick, lend us the assistance of your harpy queen ally. I trust she can make it to our city in less than a day? If that is the case we will have our golems and a few elite guards on the way while we stay here." The king of the surface saw a nod from  Rorick to Ava.

"I will personally carry your word. Please watch and see the strength a harpy queen possesses." The challenge from the world to become a race and follow the quest was a very strong motivator. But what really encouraged her was the fact that she would be able to make a home here without worry that anyone would attack her or attempt to take her feathers.

"I will gather myself and compile a list of dangers and information for everyone. I will leave as soon as it is completed to notify my father. My sister will remain here in my stead to act as representative of the merfolk." Leon stood as well and was met with one of Clara's assistants who guided him to an office.

"I call this meeting to a close. My assistants will guide those that need it to the rooms for representatives. Food can be brought to you or found in the main event hall. I will also be placing a bounty on every kraken killed. As the guild master of the adventurers' guild, I must call my members to arms." Clara had made the decision before anyone had finished speaking but only had the chance to put it out to them now.

The laws were set, and the buildings were being built. The city would grow with or without the representative for a short time. Now was the time to focus on the threat at hand and then return to their main goals and growth. The rest left the hall and went to their tasks. Walker was quick on his feet to make it to the cathedral. He wanted to stock up on bandages and see if any healers could come with him. He knew there were a few retired battle healers with the cathedral who had come for the reason that they wanted to start new in a new city. The only hope he had was that Alice wouldn't insist on coming too. He didn't want to see her in danger.
