Master Of None

The group was close to walking in the Genesis building but were stopped by the sounds from the air. Walker had a feeling that it was not something simple. He was proven correct when he saw the shimmering blue scales of a dragon much larger than any he had seen before. 

The fluid blue horns and sharp blue claws were matched only by the mist raining down with every flap of the dragon's wings. Midnight let out a soft growl before standing in front of Walker. Su moved to copy Midnight and stand in front of her. They had both felt the pressure from the dragon and the second smaller dragon landing in front of it. 

"It appears I have another guest to greet. Please see yourself inside and someone will assist you. I will be along momentarily." The focus on the merfolk was completely gone. Walker had a much bigger event to focus on. One that he needed to equal no matter what. 

The next steps that Walker took were matched by the large dragon landing in the front area of the Genesis building. He stepped in to the air using the wind ripple skill and stoop at eye level to the large blue dragon. The smaller dragon was the same as the large dragon but had sharper and more pronounced spines along its' body. It felt that it might be closer to a hedgehog type monster than a dragon. 

"I see my invitation was received. Welcome to the city of Genesis. I am True hero, young sage, friend of the goblins, educationist, Walker. This is Midnight my champion and Su her guardian." Walker was not letting his gaze waver at all. He made sure that his face remained still and he did not shift from his position. He was demanding respect in this city and he would not allow anyone to look down on him. These were the costumes of dragons and he would act with them. 

"Your village is looking very nice. Plenty of room for growth. I was not expecting the accounts of you and your champion to be true. Yet, I see that it was worth leaving my village for the first time in seventy years. I am Current. I am the pure water dragon in charge of three branch villages. I am the flow of the water dragon bloodline. This is my champion, Ciel. Allow us to make things easier on you. I know this form causes many to fear us." 

Walker could make the connection that the royal dragon was named Current after the current that water had while flowing. It was a fitting name for a pure water dragon that reigned over and decided the flow of other dragon villages. 

The pair's shifting scales and bodies changed faster than eyes could keep up. Midnight was still on guard along with Su since they did not want to stand down without Walker reaching their side. The forms the two had were very similar. They were blue scaled dragonkin forms with larger blue wings and flowing horns on their heads. Ciel had some small blue spikes on his elbows and back but other than that they were very similar to dragonkin. 

Feeling that they had performed a fairly proper greeting, Walker stepped down through the air to the ground yet again. "I will decide whether I am willing to recognize your village today. It can help or hurt you when you come to the main village to meat the riyal court." Current dropped this on Walker like it was nothing. His head was held high and he did not even show a single emotion. 

"I can promise on the world that this city will be more than any other before it. But you will need to be accepting of the values I will build here. It is not primarily guided by a single races' culture." Walker took a tone of voice that spoke volumes. The words were simple enough but carried a weight that said that he would be willing to flight beyond death for them. This gained a slight glance from Current and Ciel. Both knew what such a claim meant for anyone. 

"Walker you-" Clara was ready to start and had brought Leon the merfolk representative in. They had not managed to share the news that dragons had arrived. 

"Current, Ciel. This is Clara the current guild master of the main adventurer's guild here. She is responsible for a great many tasks and is acting as a moderator for this summit. She was chosen because the adventurers guild accepts any and all races in any and all branches." The pressure coming from both Current and Ciel was enough to silence Clara completely. 

Current looked at Clara as if he was examining a small jewel. "Hmm, you have some elf blood in you. I can feel it from here. You should be a fitting figure head for such a guild. One day I may allow you in to my village if my people feel the need to travel beyond our territory." Current could see the value in knowing such a guild. Not all dragonkin would remain in the villages and being able to send them on tasks to obtain what they need would be more efficient with some attachments. 

The color returned to Clara's face as her mind was able to process what was happening. "Thank you very much for your words. It would be an honor for such a thing." She was glad for the approval and was looking forward to a new connection. 

"Now, we should have some seats at the round table available." Walker led them in to the main meeting room which was made specifically for grand meetings like this. Ideally, it would be the place for every race representative to meet. The room was silent but held more faces than Walker had expected. The pressure of the two new dragons entering drew every eye and caused everyone to stand hastily.
