"I can't say I am surprised that we already hear noise from the way that Gil went. He's most likely testing arrows in the small lava pools around." Su had already guessed what the distant sound was. She would be foolish not to assemble the pieces properly.
"I know, but he had to be excited to figure out more about arrows and elental mana before they get to the fla elves. He wants to be able to show off and help Alma build relations." The possibility that the fla elves might not just accept Alma and join Genesis was there. But with Gil joining with his titles and abilities it might make things easier.
"I think they will succeed. Between the two showing what genesis has to offer it would be hard for anyone to remain separate. Plus, the water elves and forest elves are already joined. We even have the research from the desert elves. That ans genesis is already a haven for the elves rejoining and returning to their historical roots."
Walker firmly believed that every elf would be swayed by these things. For the elves, their past as high elves was sothing that every single one held in very high regard. They had pride in their ancestry along with their records of accomplishnts. That was why the records kept by the elves were so precise. Even the water elves had so records preserved with high tier magic skills after being abused by Lust.
"I am more worried that the fire dragons and dragonkin will be unhappy with our visit." Su had thought about how heated the attitude of Ignus had been. If they managed to anger him they might have a problem on their hands.
"That's why Rey gave the affinity potions to use as a gift. It should help him while also showing that Genesis has more to offer. I know she also intends it as a way for her to make a connection with the alchemy guild and more dragons, but that's fine." The idea was good enough.
"So what if we get there and no one is there to et us?" Su knew this was also a possibility. The dragons had their mission to defeat and clean up the rogue dragons they had caused to spread. It was a problem that was long overdue.
"Then we leave a note with whatever dragonkin are left and that's that. it won't be the best situation but we aren't going to throw any tantrums. I know other dragons might do that but we have to set ourselves above that kind of thing. It might even do better for us than we expect." The potential that Walker could build a better image for himself as a royal dragon is high. He could be the impartial nature dragon that had the ability to understand others' situations.
"That does remind though, we should be careful of running in to any rogue dragons. It's not the worst place we could run in to them but still a chance." Walker recalled how so of the royal dragons had been said to kick more hatchlings out of their villages than others. Ignus may not be the worst offender but still higher than Current or Mordant.
"I am prepared for it. I know that Midnight is already keeping watch." Su pointed out that Midnight was carefully walking the area while sniffing here and there. The toxic fus might cover so scents but the scent of a dragon or rogue dragon would stick out.
"Well, we need to change paths slightly up here. Midnight, co on!" Walker had barely left the tar's guild outpost with everyone, however, the path they were on was one of the affected by the lava spill. From where the three of them were, they could see the moving red and yellow liquid stone. The heat was hitting them even from a distance.
"Do you think you can cool the air using your elental manipulation? That way we can pass through the sa spot we need to without changing routes." The idea was fine, but Walker wasn't sure if it would actually work.
"I would say yes, but there's that." Walker looked around carefully and picked out an odd looking spot. "See the way the stone looks like it is dipped? That has to be a small pool of magma. That spill isn't just one little section. It's the whole area around the trail too." This was the real challenge of the area.
"I see it now. Look closer at the edges and I can tell the hard black stone that has been long cooled against the newly cooled. It will take so ti to adjust but I will focus on these things more." The incentive to improve her vision was what made Su more energetic. She had missed the small detail but luckily Walker had not missed it.
Hearing a soft growl, Su and Walker found Midnight looking even further.
'Burnt jackal
The burnt jackal is a rare undead and fire elental monster. These are created when a fla hound perishes and is left exposed to the elents. The result is a zombified hound with high fire elental resistance. These monsters will travel with the simple desire to attack any and all living beings. They can easily swim through lava while losing very little to the burns. They are best dealt with using water elental attacks or being smashed with a heavy blunt object to break bones. They have nearly zero worth when it cos to materials due to their burned and decayed state.'
"Good find Midnight. That's a burnt jackal. They are undead and fire elental monsters. We could avoid it but here it cos." Su took a stance in the front to block the incoming monster. However, as soon as it jumped in to the lava sothing even more drastic showed itself to the three.
