Master Of None

Terron grudgingly changed in to his dragonkin form. He was clearly unhappy with the fact that he had to be there but the way Barry spoke to him was even more infuriating. But Terron didn't budge. "I am true to my word. The best trait among any of the dragons." Terron's words were completely ignored by the others.

"By any means, I am glad to see you. We were worried that you and Barry wouldn't make it. I also thought Mordant was a little late." Walker thought it was relaxed enough to tease Mordant since he was looking pretty smug that he had made it to the wall with his and Terron's dragonkin warriors.

"Terron insisted that we move through the ground. Apparently, there are a few places near here that he has some dragonkin working on. Something about mineral veins…" Mordant felt lost, this wasn't his elemental affinity.

"You waited for me? That's a good move, but I'm sure any number of dragons here could have dealt with the demons you are worried about." Barry had just received the notice from Clara to move to the walls as fast as possible. He didn't have all the information.

"Would you not have waited for me." Terron seemed a little annoyed about not receiving any of the attention. In his eyes, he was much greater than a human warrior.

"I was wondering if you would come but I thought that it would strike you as a good way to show your strength. I have only met one earth dragon other than you and they were a specific metal dragon in the tamer's guild. I think you will make a very big difference in this battle." Walker paused and looked at Terron who seemed a little more appeased.

Unlike Ignus, Terron was more stubborn in the sense that he wanted to be held on higher pedestal. Ignus was more mailable and would jump from his high horse to fight with someone he deemed worthy. It was a strange character trait between dragons.

"The walls are damaged from previous attacks. You have the strongest earth elemental affinity and control here. Can I ask that you and your dragonkin reinforce the defenses and create large trenches to top demons?"

"You didn't call us here to fight? You expect us to build things for you?" Terron felt he had been tricked in to this already. Now he was being asked to do manual labor.

"As the toughest dragons, the earth dragons and earth dragonkin should be the best to do so. You can also hold the walls better than others while protecting the evacuating demon refugees." Walker didn't hesitate to just lay it out for Terron. He had already asked Ventus non combat related things.

"And you will get whatever benefits I can give you in Genesis. I know that everyone else will be taking advantage of the elemental floors of the mage tower. Mordant and Ignus have already experienced them if you want more details." Terron glanced at Mordant and Ignus who both nodded. Normally there would be some arguments about rewards and trades.

"I want more than that. You wish for hatchlings to be brought to you to be raised better? My dragons do not raise their young. They grow and are allowed to return when they make their own strength. I barely have any issues with rogue dragons. I want you to raise a single earth dragon. I will judge after you have raised it for a year." Terron wanted hard set rules to see whether Walker was or was not worthy of being a royal dragon. He still had misgivings.

"I can ensure that it will have a similar place to grow as it would if it was left underground to develop. It will also have access to knowledge that will allow it to grow differently than any other earth dragon." Walker was thinking about the king of the deep. Anf earth dragon needed the valuable ores underground and the king of the deep was leading a project to create an underground trade route. It was the perfect pairing.

"Then we will agree upon that. If you fail I will expect half of all your wealth. Your village will need to send warriors as well." Terron moved and took his dragonkin with him toward the walls. Walker wasn't really sure what to think.

"I think he likes you more than he lets on. The closer we got the more he mumbled about someone manipulating the earth. He liked the way it felt because it hadn't disturbed the small cave system down here." Barry added his input which made Terron move away faster.

The natural mana that Walker added to his skills without thinking at this point had caused that. But it made an impression on any earth related system or being. "So he sounds harsh but he's just being sure in his actions. I will show him more than he needs so that he is confident in Genesis. But for now…let's make plans. Barry, the reason we need you is because of your system."

"Should I take it there's another sin title holder demon roaming around? And they are some sort of berzerker?" Barry sighed, he knew what it could mean for this to be the case.

"Yes, Wrath is leading the army. Some soldiers have already been lost to the madness that he causes. There are demonic monsters, demon soldiers, and even innocent people brought in to his ranks. They are attacking anything, including each other." Barry grew more and more grim with every word he heard from Walker.

"You don't want to send someone in that could be brought in to madness. I have the resistances from my skills and being under my own rage many times. If you send me to deal with Wreath, then you will be able to send the army in behind them. And the rest of the council supported this?" Walker nodded and Barry seemed to set his determination in stone.
