Master Of None

"This is worse than I believed it would be…" King Aaron was looking at the nest and comparing it to his damaged city. 

"I see why you did not know of this. The kraken are known to hide away when they are alone. Small caves like that are perfect for the eggs to incubate for years and years. I would assume that is a single female that survived and hatched. Then she grew and found a male. Of course, like all female kraken, she ate the male and left the eggs behind. Now we have this problem. Under no circumstances will foolish tamers take them." The harsh words and force behind Current's speech made everyone harden their will. 

"This doesn't stop the plan though. They are all focused on those monster remains and the eggs are not hatched. I don't know where the mother is but we know she will come after we attack first. That leads her right in to an ambush. Not to mention attracting the remainder of the kraken spawn still in the city. That means you people can more easily escape and come join the battle. That nest will not exist after this battle." Walker was sure of this. He did not doubt the combined forces that they had. 

"Your city can be built back much better. Just imaging how much room you have to expand and create coliseums to show off your powerful warriors. Of course, they will never rival ours. But that will be fine. The point is getting stronger." As much as Scylla was trying to be positive she was allowing her battle desires to show too much. 

"Walker, Gil, and the enforcers are prepared. It's time." Remey had a single piece of the rope held behind her. Gil was standing behind her with a serious expression. The enforcers were holding five fire elemental crystals. They all had the same skill as Gil to fill the arrows with fire elemental mana. But the difference this time was that they were channeling it in to an already filled arrow to overcharge and force it to explode. 

"That's that. Send your scout out and we will begin here ten minutes after they have left." King Aaron was already in motion sending a scout with very odd scales away. 

"That is my best scout. He has a rare constitution. His family has blood from our ancestors. They used to blend in to hide from giant underwater monsters. But they slowly grew organized and powerful enough to fight them off. Now it is very rare for someone to manifest the skills. He can blend in like the land chameleon to a degree." The relation had come from one of King Aarons' journeys as a child to the surface. It had been his very own rite of succession. 

"Alma, are you prepared? Once the explosion happens we will have a short window of time to cause more damage. I think you should make a trap for people to lure the larger groups of kraken spawn in to. It will be our fall back when we get cornered." The idea was perfect for Alma since she was not meant for close combat. 

"Alice. I need you to be ready to buff and heal. Use your best judgment and stay with Su. She is your partner. If you find yourself away from her forget everything and fall back to her. No excuses." The harsh tone not only came from his worry but also from the seriousness he wanted everyone to take. 

"Midnight, you can handle yourself but keep an eye on your brother. Onyx, you and Alice are a team today. Use your full size and crush anything that dares come near." Onyx did not need to be told twice. He let his shadow shrink and fleshed his muscles in preparation. Midnight flexed her wings and growled slightly in preparation as well. 

"It's time to do this. I will be using my full force and joining the dragons." Current was about to silence Scylla since he believed her to be a weak demi-human. However, as the leviathans began to leave her robes and grow to the larger sizes they were truly meant to be, he held his breath., 

"You hold some ancient blood little one. I will keep an eye on you. But you are missing one leviathan if you wish to represent the one that blood comes from." There was a knowing aura around Current before he started to shift back to his dragon form and rise in to the higher water to wait for the mother. Walker and Scylla were intrigued by what he meant, unfortunately, this was not the time to ask for more information. 

"We are leaving." The golems, monsters, tamers, merfolk, merchant guards, and dragonkin were all silent as they watched the rope with groups of potions float away from them. There was only silence as they watched the enforcers channeling fire elemental mana in to the wither spike arrows attached. The silence seemed to deepen as the enforcers and Gil gave the large net of potion clutches a push. 

They floated through the water and were carried by the slight current. The nest was not necessarily close but the corral allowed the army to be slightly above the nest. Walker saw the mana building and how close the net was to making contact with the monster parts that the kraken spawn were feasting on. "Down!" Walker knew the explosion would shake the water and motioned for everyone to hold on. 

The second before the contact was made, Walker could feel the mana around him almost freeze in anticipation. The water and air elemental mana underwater was going to react to the large amount of fire elemental mana about to release where it normally did not belong. It only needed one more second…
