Master Of None

Chapter 1203 – 1203. Elders?

"That sounds like a good plan. I can check the underwater rivers that come through my caves. I can sense if there are any monsters that should not be there. I remember the stories from when they one made it in to the caves and my great grandfather needed to hunt them in every corner of underwater areas. Even some isolated underground lakes had those eggs in them." Terron knew the danger that the invasive monsters could have to all areas of the world and had the story drilled in to his mind. 

"I have no stake in this. My volcanoes have no water and even the springs have dried up lately. Not that they would be able to survive in such environments. The toxic fumes alone would cause them to melt." It was a rare fact that the fore dragons had exceptionally high poison resistance. They lived in the hot environments that caused many poisons to be let out through the air. It is only natural for them to grow a resistance through the generations. 

"Good, then we can ensure that they do not come back. If anyone finds them then I may reevaluate the trade agreements we have." Current had a set number of crystals for each possible trade. It was only fair based on the side of the villages and the areas where they live. But since there was better work for better reward, he left this there before moving on. 

"I believe the demi-human aquatic forces are still searching the rivers along with the merfolk searching the beaches. The tamers were harshly reprimanded and have been adjusted to properly search anything between. I can have the water elves thoroughly check the lakes even though we already know that the kraken spawn did not make it there. It's better to be safe than sorry." It was just part of safety to check these things still. Genesis would be responsible for watching these areas for years to come just in case a single egg was missed. 

"I would expect nothing less. I will send a few dragonkin from my main village to assist in the search when they visit to learn from your crafters." Current used it to further show that he had the most relation with Genesis. It didn't bode well for the others that now saw that there was more value in Genesis than they had realized. 

"Any other matters that demand direct conversation?" Terron was sure that there would not be much else other than speaking about small laws and changes he didn't want to prolong the court since he wanted to work on his own villages. 

"I am curious about the elders that may fall under our new royal. From what I see, there is no one to take such positions." Mordant said this out of genuine concern. He had been impressed with the circlet along with the fact that his darkness spirit friend could also use it. As the only dragon that had bonded with a spirit over the years, he felt a connection to Walker in this.

"I have none. There are many representatives on the council that lead Genesis. Each have their own power and will. I believe that Scylla, a general front of the demi-human race can easily take the role of one. She has some ancient blood of The Scylla. Then there are a few others such as the vice guild master of the adventurer's guild, my party members, and potentially the future elf queen. I am sure that others will arise as time goes on but like I said earlier, Genesis is a place of equals." It was a proud statement but not what Mordant or the others wanted to hear. 

"You may have representatives. But it is tradition to have elders that have dragon blood. There was once a dragonkin that was not a guardian. He rose above all others and rivaled the other elders by purifying their own body and blood. It was an impossible thing that brought pride to all dragons. They are the only outlier that is seen as an elder dragon without being a dragon and even they were close. You are, of course, an outlier with your guardian. But there must be a dragon elder that falls under you. It cannot be your champion." Rise ensured that Walker knew how strict this tradition was. It didn't seem to be something that was forced because it was just the way it was. It seemed as if it was important to the way the dragons lived and would come with a great deal of respect. 

"Then I will have Midnight select one of each elemental mana or elemental mana variation from the dragons you force out. Midnight will teach them whether I say it or not. Does that sound good?" There was not a look to the royals, but to Midnight. She had been silent and careful to listen. She was not going to step out when she did not need to. She also wanted to endure that whenever these royals looked upon her they saw the perfection that she was as a true dragon champion. 

Hearing what Walker said, Midnight raised her head and huffed. The small gold flame she let out for show was enough to cause some of the mana in the room to shift. She had been controlling herself greatly and in the moment she did not so that they took focus on her intentions. She would not push aside any to be her younger siblings and would take pride in that. She could have been nothing if she had not been found by Walker and the others. Now she would shown them that those they did not value would be more important than any other in the world of the dragons. She was sure she would be able to do this. 

"That will take some time but it is enough. I have no issue with that and expect results beyond what you say." Rise seemed unhappy but accepted it nonetheless.
