"I can't say we need much rest. My pure stallions could pull such a light carriage for another day or two!" The carriage driver was the most excited to keep moving. He felt that he was able to show off the future of his taming endeavors.
The healers, on the other hand, were in rough shape. They had not recovered much from being bumped around during their trip to the wall in the first place. Yet now, they were being knocked around all the sa.
Midnight had been unhappy to see the three dragons she had been getting to know leaving. They were older than her but she was already understanding that dragons developed differently. She was much more ahead of them when it ca to ntal developnt while they were behind. It was just the way the wind dragons were raised compared to what others would be raised. It was also because Midnight was forced to learn different things faster.
"When we catch back up with Ventus, I want you to pay attention to how she manipulates the wind to land. Her landing and her children land almost silently. I think you can do that if you try." Having Walker encourage her, Midnight found herself actually excited.
The idea that she would be able to manipulate the wind around her body the sa as a pure wind elental dragon was hard to grasp. However, Walker was able to manipulate the wind with his elental affinities. It made sense that midnight, as his champion, would also be able to do such a thing at so point.
Comparing it directly with the skeletal armor that Midnight could create was also important. Midnight might have that because a skeletal dragon was her father. That being said, it was the embodint of that bloodline and mana becoming such a skill with her diet in mind. Other elental dragons would obviously be able to create similar skills with their elental mana around their body.
"Are you telling Midnight that she might be able to do what you do with elental mana? You literally make an elental dragon around your body to attack. It's kind of insane. If Midnight does that she might be wild." Gil was having trouble imagining just how powerful Midnight would be if she followed Walker's lead.
"I don't think it would be the sa. Walker isn't a dragon so he needs to create more. He also isn't done learning the skill. But Midnight is a dragon, I bet that she will just have the ability to create armors and attacks that work with her body. Like when she wraps her claws in flas." Rey seed to have given this a lot of thought because it was similar to when she used her elental knuckles.
"I won't lie, I don't know what to expect from my own skills most of the ti. When it cos to Midnight and Su, I am lost." Walker wanted to be supportive and say he had all the answers. Unfortunately, that was not the case. There was nothing solid that he could tell them in regards to what they all might experience.
"I understand. I have new things I discover every day. But that's what I look forward to. I didn't think that I would have any ability to manipulate the earth, but with my partner, I have realized that I can add my mana to the earth fortress skill. What else can I do?" Su had a few ideas but she was not about to expand on it until she tried them.
"As long as you don't try to beco so draconic guardian archer and steal my place in the party we will be fine." Gil found his place to joke a little but knew that the situation was full of mystery.
"You know Walker could steal your position at any ti. He just has to stop focusing on magic." Rey tried to punch both Gil and Walker out of fun but the two easily dodged.
"We are coming up on the stop!" The carriage driver shouted out. There was a tension in his voice that made Walker move a little faster.
When Walker saw what was in front of him, he realized that they were the late ones. There were ten large groups in front of him. One was an advanced group of adventurers that were organizing themselves in to patrol groups. The others were healers mixing in to groups of both adventurers and soldiers. Altogether they were preparing for what might happen at any mont.
"Commander, what is the current status?" Walker didn't see Ventus so he knew that she must have seen sothing nearby that interested her.
"Another adventurer… the hero party?" The commander was a little different than the previous one. He was carrying a large hamr and wore heavy armor. But every step left a very defined footprint. His strength was clear. "We are preparing for demons to march on us at any mont. We saw a large flying monster with three others a few monts ago and do not know what we may encounter.
"That was Ventus, a royal dragon, and her children. They are with . She must have seen sothing and is getting us information. I will cross the wall and start to create so more defenses. My party will split off and start helping. Let us know what you need." Walker didn't hesitate to step in to the air. "Midnight, stand watch and let know when Ventus returns."
Walker reached the top of the wall and looked out at the demon lands before him. The foliage had been burned away by magical skills and war. This was a stain on nature. Nothing was able to grow because of the constant war coming toward the borders. Walker hated it. The entire sight felt wrong. "Fleur, I want to fix this."
