Master Of None

Chapter 1139 – 1139. Royal Pressure

" Wait, High elf queen? Like all the elves and not just the forest elves?" Walker was stunned. He knew that Alma had already cemented herself as the future forest elf queen. It had been figured out. But now the system was giving her the path to uniting all the elves under her. It was a much larger task than he expected. 

"Yes. I already received the royalty's wisdom skill. It is the same as the one you have that makes people deterred and like you and follow your commands better. But you don't throw it around or even use it too much and I'm afraid I will use it without wanting to and I just just just…" Alma was having trouble keeping her breath while talking. The stress that was building up was much more than she could handle. 

"Hey! Look at me!" Walker held Alma's shoulders in place and made her look at him dead in the eyes. The very same skill she was speaking about flared up with Walker's mana and he saw that she felt the additional pressure. "Skills like that are easily controlled. Just keep your emotions down. When I was angry, didn't you feel my mana around you? That wasn't just my elemental manipulation. It's part of who you are now but people don't easily just fall in to your control or fear, they need to think that of you to begin with. If it affects them it will inspire them and push them to grow in to a better beings. Just breathe and accept it." This was a little harsh but Walker knew it was something that Alma needed to hear. 

Her eyes looked around slightly frantic while Walker let go of her shoulders. "I… But can I really do all that?" 

"Yes, you literally stood in front of your queen and risked being outcast by your entire people to try for a better future. Do you think that every elf deserved that? The water elves lost their ruler and are not mixed with demons. They are perfect for Genesis but they still need someone to stand for them. Did you not take the lead and speak to them as a fellow elf? Do you not realize the hope that gave them for the elves? You already did this and you are still doing it. It's a big task but what is it in the grand scheme of things? We are building an entire city against the values of multiple races." The many things that could go wrong in all of this could crush them if they were not careful, yet they were pushing through all of it to create Genesis. Walker couldn't do anything but compare how large of a task this was compared to just one race. 

There was a stunned look on Alma's face. She had been so hyper focused on the elves at this moment that she forgot what she was really doing from day to day. She was going to be a forest elf queen. She would hold many lives in her hand. But she was already representing them and standing for them in Genesis. Now she would guide more and help more elves. It would be the same in an aspect. Not to mention she would be able to bring elves together that had long been at odds due to their elemental affinities. 

Right on the spot, Alma sat back down. She seemed bewildered. "I really have a quest to bring every elf together. Do you know how long it has been since that happened? The rock elves don't even leave their mountain. The frost elves are rough and tumble and don't even get along with the water elves. Who knows about those of fire. What did I get myself in to." She laughed a little wondering what it would be like. To have every elemental affinity elf back again. To have a devoted elf race instead of a divided elf race. 

"I think it would be an amazing thing to see. So far you all talk about losing the high elf bloodline and whatnot. But isn't that because the elves are divided in to their ideals and affinities? Did all of you forget that you are the same race?" Walker found it kind of amusing but knew that humans and dragons did the same things as the elves. It was just something they let take their minds over without really thinking. "So, what's the next quest you have?" 

The curiosity spawned from Walker's knowledge of chain quests. He knew that Alma would always have a goal. "Bring the water elves together with the forest elves. So I assume I need to bring the elders to meet the queen. It sounds easy but they need a home here too." 

"Then that's what we will do. Scylla can take the lead here while you bring some of the elders back. I am sure there will be more help coming soon since I saw Scylla sending a communication crystal back to Genesis. I really need to figure a way out to make those too. It would be helpful to have more." Walker wanted to try that or find someone able to do so since they were becoming more and more important and the city had limited supply. But that was something to think about later. If he did now he would be too distracted. 

Walker and Alma spoke for a while longer about how much pressure she would be under. Walker wanted to better relate to her but as he spoke he realized that he would have the same, if not more, pressure on himself. He was preparing to head to the royal dragon court soon and there he would be considered a royal dragon. He needed to prepare himself to stand equally with a dragon much older and more powerful than him. It could end or raise Genesis.
