"According to the research, the rune formations will need further improvent to teleport a dragon in its full form. The mana for you in your full size is too great. As of this mont, your shadow diving skills are still greater in the asure of the size that can be brought through it."
The question had co from mordant originally. He wanted to know if using shadows to slip through places was better or worse than the spatial teleportation that was being studied. He had gone out of his way to find the small group of spatial mages that were working very hard to improve the rune formation.
Specifically, he had been wondering if the angels would be able to learn more. Now that the angels had been opened to the Genesis alliance, they had already begun to co over more and more.
"I understand. The mana cost is higher due to the size. Using the ability to change forms makes the space we take up smaller and causes less mana to be used. That will be important when we are sending armies anywhere. Or if we must evacuate this city." it was understandable that mordant would find this as a bit of a disappointnt but also very useful.
Since Mordant had so curiosity about these things, he had co to ask questions. He also had left so of his most trusted dragonkin to search Sigil for the darkness dominator dragons ruins. He had yet to figure out where they may be and the angels were also lost. But that was alright.
The fact that the darkness dominator dragon ruins had not been found yet ant that they would most likely be intact and untouched. The way of the darkness dragons was one of secrecy and solitude. That was why many had beco rogue dragons or had fallen even further to beco skeletal dragons. Not that they were truly fallen in a way.
This was just the price of solidarity in their own beliefs. But that did not an that Mordant had not called over other darkness dragons. On the contrary, he had called over eight adult darkness dragons while the younger ones were left to train until they were allowed to co to Genesis as well. Limiting them was a great way to push them to strengthen themselves.
Byt calling more darkness dragons here, Mordant had drawn Walker back to where he had been asking the spatial rune questions. "I knew you would be alone shortly. Having eight of my most trusted dragons co here was enough to bring a lot of attention." Mordant glanced upwards as Walker was also looking up at the dragons.
"I was a little busy earlier, but tonight we are having a celebration for Alma and Gil. They are engaged now. Apparently they aren't letting anything about the world slow down their own story." Walker laughed a little as Mordant had also heard this. But as any dragon would, this didn't matter.
"A dragon doesn't need to worry about what others think or the ti. Whether it is a mixing of villages for peace or it is for what true feelings soone has. A dragon would pursue whatever they must. Your family also understands this. That is why Gil pursued the one he swore many promises to." Pride ca out from Mordant's words. He believed Gil had acted appropriately.
"I agree, he made the right choice. But you, what's going on here?" it was clear that Miordant had been bothering these five angels for so ti. But they looked happy to be around so Walker didn't say this in a negative tone. More of a curiosity that ca with everything he inquired about.
"I was wondering if my dragons could teleport too. Unfortunately, they can not because of the large mana costs. They will need to be able to take a dragonkin form first." Mordant sounded sad, but it was more of an acceptance than anything. He didn't have to make them search for the ruins right away. But the sooner they were found, the better.
"The more powerful dragons you have long for the dominator dragon ruins the better. I understand that, but what about the village you will build outside Genesis?" Walker had heard that Ignus was already calling on multiple rune carvers to make a fire filled palace just for his dragons. Even Terron was apparently going to help build a fake mountain for them to create a false volcano.
"I was thinking about using the spatial runes and just darkness runes to design a place where it is dark at all tis. Then we can have so light runes used to make a starry sky. The dark elves might like it a lot and the abyssal serpent. It would also be a good palace for the gray haired spiders since they dislike the bright sunlight on hot days."
While Walker saw this as a very good way to allow for more unique places within Genesis, he began to understand sothing else. "Genesis is going to be at least ten tis larger now, isn't it? We are literally shaping the lands around to make elental areas for those that could use them the best way possible. That ans that there will be a need for more people in charge." Walker looked at Mordant carefully.
"My dragonkin would gladly act as guards as well. For the darkness area, they would be the ideal guards that could prevent any law breaking. That and so demons appear to be perfect for the darker environnts. There was a dark alchemist that specializes in poisons and antidotes for poisons. Not to ntion that shadow herbalist that focuses on growing herbs that only can grown in dark areas."
"So you are saying that your area would be an extension of the main Genesis city in the center while every dragon has outer districts. The focus on their elental specifics would allow for better growth? Then those that wish to use elental and other things would move toward the center?" This was a good way to explain the new set up that Genesis was undergoing.
"It's similar to those city ruins we have seen. And the papers of others I have been shown. They will all beco a very good base for what we plan. The spatial runes will lock in whatever elental mana we can focus on. It just needs research."
"Exactly. We will have these problems solved faster than anyone could imagine. We are all working on new spatial runes. The study of space mana is only starting now!" The researchers listening to this were very quick to jump in and boast about the bright future their field of study had.
"I agree, the more we study the spatial rune and the mana, the better. We should be able to make so breakthroughs. But I want to see what i can test too. If I can use spatial mana on the mage tower, then everyone in the entire city will gain more." Walker had a different view.
The mage tower already helped all of them. Therefore, if he were to find ways to boost it, then these separated elental areas could also welco a mixed elental mana better. This would enhance natural mana, and the other manas that were harder to research. Not to ntion the overall health of the population. It would grow enormously with these benefits.
"Well, that does sound great. The origin runes have taken a large leap in research lately. Why don't we keep focusing on darkness mana though. I will introduce you to the dragons that i have seen grow and even a few that have given so trouble.
"I would very much like to et your fellow darkness dragons. I was surprised that you have already called them. But I wonder if we can improve the efficiency of the elental space rune formation. We might be able to teleport one of them to Sigil. They can help the angels and also assist in finding the ruins of any dominator dragons."
"I know that Ignus and Terron already have things covered with theirs. All the information as taken and the ruins were isolated so that no one could bother them. But there are plenty of ruins left. I assu that Current will want to go back sooner than later too." Walker knew this well since Current had already gathered a small team of dragonkin, water elves, and demi-humans to join his search. He would be helping them get stronger too.
"Yes, they are ready to use what they have learned. But according to Terron, it is a larger step than we realized. Ignus would not speak a word about it. He said that he is looking at another possibility for the power he found. It was frustrating."
