"A lot seems to have happened on your end." The voice that ca from the shadows before revealing the form of Mordant was curious. Since Mordant had been busy helping here and there with the new dangers in the demon villages, he had not had the chance to co et Walker.
Coming out of his ditation, Walker looked at Mordant who seed much happier to see the changes than he expected. "Why do you look so smug? You aren't going to make trouble for Ignus, Terron, and Ventus because my family has three grand elental spirits with them?"
"I would never make trouble." Mordant laughed a little knowing that Walker had seen through him. "It is interesting. It seems you and your family are always a step away from sothing new. The mana here is the proof of that." The natural mana had drawn more than just the fire, earth, and wind elental mana. It was pulling all elental mana towards it. This would give away the army but that was too late.
The many groups that had caught up to the eting point were easy to see by any scout. However, that was the worrying part, no scout had been sighted. This ant that the mages had a way to see them or there were no scouts. Both were equally worrying.
"You will be happy to know that Ventus has her children stationed at the three largest villages. They had multiple captions or powerful captains. The one you dealt with was technically weaker compared to the others we found. They had multiple of those potions to pass along to their soldiers." The disgust that Mordant had in his voice made Walker's mood sour as well. They both thought it despicable to fight like that.
"They were volcanic sli cores. I have figured out that the sli breeder is a title holding demon nad Envy." This was what most of the communications had already said, but it was good to settle on how much of a threat this demon was.
"From their actions, they are a monster. Not a demon." Mordant was sure that this was a demon that had long crossed in to the realm of being a monster. If not in body, in soul. "Ignus is nearly here with Terron. They did not wish to stay where they had gone." Mordant also knew that having more fighters with them would be good, he was not unhappy about more royal dragons coming.
"I will guess that Ventus is here for that too then." Walker pointed in the sky where Ventus was already slowly descending. "Gil, Su, Rey, we need to get moving soon. Drink a mana potion or two then get ready." Walker's voice was only able to break them out of their own ditation because he pulled at the mana around them.
"I have a ditation skill now!" Su had heard that so defender type systems got ditation skills that would strengthen their defenses in battle. It was a unique skill that rarely showed. Yet, this was a ditation skill that helped bring mana toward her.
" too."
"I have one as well. But I wasn't just focusing on my mana. Weird." Gil was more confused than Rey because he had been creating arrow theories in his mind when he felt the different elental manas.
"It's the sa as mine. Or at least I am willing to bet it is. I pretty much guided all three of you to ditate exactly the way I do. You all have an attachnt with a powerful elental spirit. That should let you learn such a skill that brings the mana to you when focused." There was understanding on all their faces.
"I am going to work on a few arrows. If you hear any explosions by the elves just ignore them." Naturally, Gil did not bring calm to the situation but no one had ti to worry about this. They had to prepare themselves as well.
"I will leave so high affinity potions here. They aren't really perfect and I don't have a guarantee for them. But we are about to get ready to attack right?" Rey dropped the potions she had. These were the most powerful potions she had created for wind, fire, dark, and earth. The water one was already given to Current when she had t one of his dragonkin.
The affinity potions were still not sothing that the alchemy guild could mass produce. But because Rey had leaned on the strength of Tris and the old master alchemist, she had made them for this very mont. The strongest she could using whatever materials they had.
The sound of the dragons landing and changing forms was enough to make Rey decide to walk away. She wanted to find a place where she could get more familiar with the feeling of mana. She had never had such a feeling in her. She was wondering if this was how a mage or Walker felt at all tis. She felt she could light her fists ablaze without the fire affinity knuckles now.
"You have the power of earth within your blood now. I can feel it. You got closer to than you did to him." Terron did not hold back his feelings. As a royal earth dragon, he could feel the mana that a dragon would have. That an earth dragon would have.
"Yes, I have my partner Alvaro to thank for that. He is welcod as a nad grand earth spirit. I am still familiarizing myself with the situation. I look forward to any guidance you give." It would be rude for Su to ignore a perfect teacher in front of her. Both a dragon and a very powerful wielder of earth elental mana.
"You can co to my village. I have one that never moves. It is ideal for my ho. I find you interesting now." This was only extended to Su but it was enough for Terron to shock his fellow royal dragons. Terron had just offered sothing to a human.
With a glance at Walker, Su received a nod. He was not going to push her to do this nor was he going to discourage her. Even though the royal dragons lived a certain way, Walker knew that Su and all his family could make their own decisions. "I would be honored to visit you and see the earth dragon village. I would learn a great deal just by being there." This seed to play right to Terron's ego.
"From what has been passed along to , Current has t the leader of the water traveling force. His na was Leon, correct?" Ventus changed the subject. She had co here for a reason. She was no longer needed to make maps or help others scout. She wanted to speak about the information she had heard and patrol the air around them.
"Good, that ans we only have a short while before they are here on the other side of the city." Walker pointed to the river in the distance. It was one with many streams splitting off before a large forest in the distance.
Knowing that the aquatic forces were nearby was very calming. They would have the reinforcents that had co through a different route and hopefully managed to clear out so smaller villages along the way.
"I wouldn't be too worried about them, Current should have sent his dragons further in to the demon lands to settle things. He is busy like that." Ignus huffed a little but did not admit that he had sent his dragons to do the sa exact thing so that he would not look bad.
"It's about ti we call the last eting before we start this." Walker didn't hesitate. He knew that they were waiting for him to make the call. It was a sign of respect from fellow royal dragons. A sign that they had more than just accepted who he was and what he was trying to accomplish.
"You took your ti. Midnight is over there trying to steal so of the food as energy before the battle." Alma had dragged Midnight and Onyx with her, taphorically, she had the dried at that Midnight wanted in her hands while Onyx had just gone along with it.
"It's a good way to prepare. I have als before fights often." Scylla had no issues with this. But the king of the surface who had recently arrived also nodded in approval.
"Food aside, Leon will be here any mont. We need to start planning how we will invade and take the city." Walker placed down a large piece of parchnt he had just received. When he unraveled it a fairly detailed map beca clear. "This is the demon capital city. It's large, has many stone buildings and training areas that stand in odd places."
The map showed the winding roads that had no markets or open spaces to just rest. Everything was made for the growth of power. Everything was made harder for them to invade.
