Master Of None

The line of races standing at the edge of the water was more than impressive. There were multiple merchant guards that had seen the kraken spawn do horrible things and they had left their positions to make sure that it never happens again. The dwarven golems were on the front line and had already moved in to the water. Gil stood with Alma. He had made the decision to be by her side as much as possible when they entered the waters. She was still tired from using the massive amount of mana to create the razor whip weed barrier. 

Su and Midnight were side by side with Alice behind them. The three were ready to enter the water and Onyx had made the decision to remain on Alices' shoulders. Their combination was too perfect and heading in to the water where the light elemental mana might be a little harder to use. Their teamwork would make things much smoother. 

Remey had prepared some of her potions for others to be able to use. The explanations had been swift but she was sure that those around would be able to use them at their best. The idea was that if a large group of the kraken spawn attacked them the potions would be able to explode and stop them from overtaking the entire Genesis force. She also wasn't sure how well she would be able to fight under water but had realized that equipping the water affinity knuckles made it easier to move her fists faster underwater. This small test had given her a lot of insight in to the added benefits of the affinity knuckles on her gloves. 

The dragonkin had paired up with enforcers. The dragonkin warriors were better off on the front line while the enforcers fired arrows accurately to weaken the enemies. The combination was a last minute change that would go much further and extend their battle prowess. There would be less stamina used by teaming up and things would be more fluid. 

The wind around them seemed to shiver as a lightly larger kraken spawn fell to the beach. "I know I am a little late, but do you even need me?" 

"General Scylla. We just saved the bay and port town. We are going to enter the water and proceed to the merfolk city. Then we will march to retake their main home city. The mother kraken is very large and the dragons will focus on it. Where are your troops?" Walker had nothing to say about the lateness of Scylla. He could tell there had been a battle. She was covered in small scratches and the clothing she had on was torn here and there. 

"We exited the mouth of the river and went through the marshes. Those things had already infiltrated the river and were trying to get in to the lakes. The aquatic forces were barely able to push them back. Luckily we discovered that they are weaker in the fresh water. I was able to get my troops to reserve some of their mana. They are making their way down from the northern beaches. They will be here in ten minutes." Scylla was all business. She was radiating wind and ferociousness. She had been in battle and now she was ready to go in to the real deal.

"Remey, give Scylla the run down on the potions you made. We will have her forces scout ahead since they can breathe underwater and have better swimming ability." Remey went to meet the landing Scylla and explained what the small crate of potions were and how they worked. 

"The reinforcements are good to see. I worried they would not arrive." Since Leon had not seen the demi-human forces he was worried they would not show up or that they had been defeated on their way here. He knew they were leaving from the river and the potential that they would not make it was there. 

"Scylla is trustworthy and powerful. She was going to get here even if she needed to defeat every monster in this world." The trust that Walker had in Scylla came from her actions and how she held herself. She had been able to bring herself up from the bottom and become a powerful general that was greatly respected by her people. If she was anything less than an outstanding person Walker was sure that she would not have a position so high. 

"The mages we have brought with us can use their spells to give you and everyone else underwater breathing and swimming buffs. They are prepared to use their skills to their absolute maximum. You and everyone else will have the buffs for three weeks. It may be overkill but it will ensure everyone's safety." The last thing that Leon wanted to happen was that the people that had come t help him and his people would be harmed. If they even had a small injury then he would have to take that on his shoulders and accept that he had not done enough to protect them.

"Thank you. That is what we need. There will be a lot of us that do not have the proper preparations to swim and battle in the water. Having the confidence to breathe and swim will make things calmer." There was a visible weight off of Walker's shoulders before he was brought back to focus by the roar of dragons. 

The resounding shouts of other dragonkin and all of the genesis force soon became one. The merfolk mages started to cast their spells and the effects were gathering on everyone who could not breathe under the water. 

'The spell water breathing has affected the user for three weeks

The spell swift swimming has affected the user for three weeks.'

The feelings of their spells activating made Walker relax and give a shout himself. They were moving forward and nothing would stand in in their way.
