"Walker, if you three want to head out it's alright. We will be starting a few experintal potions once these two finish their flirting." The looks Rey got from Trish and the old master alchemist were enough to burn a hole through soone's head if they weren't careful. However, it did do well to stop the noise they were making.
"This old lady doesn't stand a chance."
"How could I be with a child. Too young."
The comnts silenced the pair and left a dangerous glaring match. "I finished the suggested formula. We can test it together. Just make sure we use the ingredients precisely. Until the first trade is made we will not have abundant resources. While in the lava fields we may get fire materials to experint with the fire affinity potions better." Rey knew exactly what had happened with the fla elves. She wanted to go to hunt for herbs but didn't fully say she would be going with the party. It all depended on the alchemy competition and how close it would be by the ti they returned.
"The deal was a wise choice for both of us. I will have the best sent over when available." Mordant stood up tall and walked out of the room. Walker gave a wave and followed as Midnight stayed close to his heels.
"So, where else have you two been today? Just a walk around? Have you eaten?" Midnight huffed in distaste. She knew that Walker would also be unhappy when he found the state of the kitchen.
"Ah, yes. We attempted to cook a little but found minor difficulties. I was very impressed by the ingenuity to save food in special storage areas hidden away from prying eyes. Normally the aura myself and warriors keeps away pests. Therefore, we do not need deterring asures in hos. But I may attempt a similar building as your mansion. I like it very much." Mordant felt that a dragon should live in similar luxury. Dragons had long used caves and simple stone hos. Now, after seeing Genesis hos he wanted a similar one for luxury and practicality. Standards would have to change.
"If you speak to the dwarves, they might be able to help. But if you go to the crafter's guild you will make more progress. A long distance project like that will cost a lot but could give your dragonkin a new outlet for learning. Imagine having draconic crafting thods with dwarven inspiration." Walker sneakily connected another way for Genesis and the dragons to bond.
"I will have to make that a stop after I have my warriors settled." Walker paused hearing Mordant say this. He hadn't heard them getting there. However, there was a single roar that echoed throughout the city. It was unmistakably Mordant's dragon champion arriving and calling out to Mordant. "And naturally, my champion wastes the fact that they can remain hidden in the shadows to get attention." This sounded like an ongoing problem. Walker nearly believed it comical that a darkness dragon's champion would want attention instead of hiding like most darkness affinity creatures.
"I'm curious. Doesn't your champion have the shadow wrapping skill? Midnight has it and she makes very good use of it since it was from her mother's bloodline. It is actually one of her most used skills after the skeletal armor." Walker knew that the skeletal armor skill had been born from her father's bloodline. But the shadow wrapping skill should be from any darkness dragon.
"Yes, it is a common skill for any dark affinity dragon. I find it useful for when I do not wish to be bothered. My champion rarely uses it though. I should have sent them to life with the light village elders." Mordant shook his head while stepping in to the street. "Midnight, could you please roar? If I were to do so I would cause unnecessary commotion along with Walker." Mordant knew that a royal dragon's roar carried their elental mana. it could cause elental damage along with certain effects associated with that elent.
"Yours does? That is news to . When I have roared I just intimidate people. The skill I use to roar is actually called dragon's intimidation. The one I used when I was coming to the royal court was a special skill related to nature. To be honest, I would like to learn to permanently imbue natural mana in to a proper dragon's roar." Mordant took his turn being surprised.
"It would make sense. You were born a human and do not have the instinct to roar. I will show you mine after things are settled. It can be a welco change of pace while my warriors spread out to undertake their tasks." Mordant knew that so would be taught spirit forging, so would focus on runes, and others would be with the veteran warriors. The remainder would be responsible for many other tasks that revolved around learning and understanding Genesis.
"I would like that. You and Current are very much alike. Current was understanding about my views and seed like he had been waiting for sothing to change in the world. You seem to have been waiting and watching as well." Walker didn't hold back on this opinion. Both the water and darkness royal dragons had proven themselves to be open to new ideas.
"Current is water. He changes with the flow to adapt. He can be ice or mist if need be. I believe that darkness is untouchable. It can move through anything and seem to be endless. How would I be unlike darkness and not accept the endless potentials you bring?" It was a simple yet powerful question. Walker truly understood what it ant for the royals to ditate on their elental affinity. To beco more like it and strive to find deeper anings within it.
