Master Of None

There was no surprise when the group faced the chaos of the streets. Many p[eople had come out of their homes and places of work to view a dragon. This was something they didn't believe would happen in their entire lives. The simple fact that Illia had just arrived at the castle sent even more people in to some minor chaos. Some yelled about dragons attacking and others praised the dragons. Overall, it was a nightmare for the guards who were looking for answers as well. It took the entire night for the word of safety to come down from above. 

"You think they would be used to dragons since Midnight has been here for like over a year." Remey was a little annoyed that she had to deal with the crowded streets. 

"Midnight isn't as big as Illia and literally has frost coming from her scales. She also isn't big enough to cause wings with every flap of her wings." If Gil hadn't tried to rebuttal what Remey said he could have avoided the harsh punch to his shoulder. Unfortunately for him, he just had to try and argue with her. 

"We literally just got back and you two are already at it again. Don't you want to rest and get a hold on what the heck just happened?" Walker was the only one seeing sense here. He had the feeling that everyone was just going over the fact they had somehow ended up with a dragon village. 

"Leader, we have long accepted that this sort of event may happen. Even though we have strange and wondrous things happening every day, we are still a little shocked. However, there was a great boon from this trip. We have a relation with the dragons now. We learned a lot. We still have the goal to prepare and travel with everyone to the new city." For Su, this was all just another amazing event to add to the pages of the story they were writing. It was to be expected that Walker would be the most affected by this other than Midnight thought. He had just been tossed in to a position he didn't know enough about and he had never thought would be his in the first place. 

"I know you're right. But I think we should all call it a day and rest early. Tomorrow we will organize those herbs and materials we have left. And I will go from there." Walker trudged to his room and fell in to bed to sleep without even thinking about cleaning up first. He just wanted to sleep for the time being and that was what he did. 

While he slept, Walker found himself in dreams of giant dragons flying through the skies. He also had many instances of food raining from the skies. When the sun brought him back to the land of the weakening he had the feeling that Midnight had some influence over his dreams. Especially because he could tell that she was hungry through their bond. 

He cleaned himself up and made himself presentable before heading downstairs to find Gil, Remey, and the wandering blacksmith all in the dining room waiting for him. Su was out with Midnight in the training field trying to grasp some moves for blocking and defending. Midnight on the other hand was visibly trying to make her breath attacks do some damage. Both were working hard and it sparked Walkers' own desire to grow more. 

"Sorry if I kept you all waiting. I was a little dazed yesterday. I managed to organize my thoughts. There is a lot to do…" A lot was an understatement. Between preparing to go to Genesis for the first time and making his own weapon, Walker would be fairly busy. There was also learning more about herbs and potions with Remey along with mentally preparing to see the rulers of the other kingdoms again. The simple fact that dragons may arrive also brought some added stress to the situation. 

"Let's just focus on the most important and immediate things. The materials in the crate that could have use for my arrows." In fine fashion, Gil smirked and threw an arm around Walker's shoulders. He had been much too excited to make another new arrow and now was the only free time he had to bulk up on them. 

"Oh yeah, right. That's the most important part. Forget the seeds and herbs that I could use you, you know, create a god damn guild, Gil!" Remey nearly tackled Gil trying to take him down. The only thing they managed was an awkward dance of pushing and shoving before toppling over the couch with Walker being pulled down with them. 

Naturally, the wandering blacksmith was the one to laugh loudly at the three. He had been a lot more animated since they went to a dragon village and before Walker had gotten down from bed shared some words with Remey and Gil. They felt that he had become deeply bonded with their party and was truly part of their family now, more so than before. 

"I guess this is one way to start the day. But if we are going to open the crate we should move the table again. I think there is a decent amount of items inside and I don't want to try to unpack it in a corner." The other two hefted Walker up with them and they moved the table. The large crate was bigger than the ones that had been delivered to the mansion and it was fairly impressive. The wood itself would be a good reusable material since it was the same as the carved wooden basket that they had flown in. Walker also had stored the wooden basket away before they went to leave their letter with the elite guard. 

"Let's open this thing!" Remey cheered while the wandering blacksmith took the lead to pry open the top of the crate.
