Master Of None



A flurry of movement happened as every representative, including the party, sent people to contact those that were in charge of building the city. There were so many places and people that would work on such a project. 

Creating the proper rune formations would take a large space. This would need to be mapped out since the dragons would need such a large space to reside. This was just due to most not being old enough or able to take humanoid form. The dragonkin form that they could take would allow them to easily walk through Genesis. 

That also came with a few details though. The hatchlings that were growing in Genesis had shown a massive boon. The one specifically working as an alchemist with her older brother had shown signs of being able to change form. Her horns had become able to shrink slightly. This apparently was a sign in fire dragons as they began to understand the skill needed to change form. 

When Ignus had heard this, he had understood why. The hatchlings were not able to develop near the dragons as normal. He had sent them out because they had been weaker hatchlings. While he had not directly seen them, his dragonkin had. He had taken all the information and begun to understand that their time in Genesis had clearly allowed them access to skills they would not normally develop at all or without a lot more age. 

This was evident with Midnight who had gained a dragonkin form well ahead of any other dragon ever known. The reason had been, in theory, because she had been with the heroic part and had a hero title herself. Yet, now the theory has evolved to be due to the fact that she had been around humanoid beings so much more. 

The smaller size of the hatchlings already allowed them to move through Genesis much more easily than any other dragon would. Furthermore, the fact that they always saw unique magics, skills, and system users gave the hatchlings a better ability to learn and grow. 

These things had all been missed by the dragons isolating themselves away from the other dragons and other races. Now that a nature dragon had arrived, Walker, they have a reason to unite again. But further, they had seen that Genesis was a great place for development. Greatly changing the traditions and course of history for the entirety of the dragon race. 

The additional changes needed would be to expand the farms as well. The dragons could go out and hunt their own food, but with the access to the great oceans now, the merfolk had begun a project to farm within the shores. 

The farms would produce edible seaweeds, clams, and other seafood that could not be gathered in Genesis. This development allowed for the races to be fed. Especially the dragons who would need more food. The idea was also supported by Current immediately. 

While this topic was less harsh than the corrupted mana, it was very important. The entirety of Genesis needed to worry about feeding themselves. Their population needed a high number of foods to feed all of them. This also took the strain of the demi-human, elven, and human farmers working together to create the agriculture guild that worked closely with the herbalists and alchemists of the alchemy guild. 

Overall, it was a branch of farming that was similar to keeping livestock. But this development brought in mages to help control the farming of certain monsters. This brought in the tamer's guild to allow people to learn to domesticate these monsters. The process would take years but after time, there would be a constant source of sustainable seafood from sea monsters that were controlled by the farms. 

For the moment, the focus was on hunting the larger monster that had been spotted around the coast and could be hunted by the ships and the water dragons. That would allow them to more easily build their home and also make a trade relationship with all of Genesis. Current was glad that his dragons could easily integrate themselves as massive providers of food and protection in this way. 

Ventus looked like she was going to make her own plans still. The wind affinity dragons preferred to remain in the sky or the heist of mountains. This worked well with what they desired though. Her thoughts had been about travel. They had teleportation, but that was not ideal for everything. Therefore, she gladly said that her dragons would be guardians of the flying routes used by many merchants. It could help them deal with any dangers that came with storms or larger monsters. 

This was different from Mordant who knew that the darkness affinity was ideal for hiding. But he had gotten along with Walker's father when they met. This spurred him to decide on scouting and guards as the focus. His dragonkin already performed such a duty and it just made sense to push forward with that thinking. 

Rise followed a similar approach. She saw that the healers were a growing place for the light affinity beings. She also enjoyed the righteous and healing atmosphere for it. This was definitely the proper place for her to uphold her own values while also allowing her dragonkin to be the defenders of the healers. Alice also promised to take an active role in all of this since she had more or less become the face of every healer within Genesis. 

Terron had sided more with the king of the deep. Both wanted to be left alone to do their own thing. In joining with them on the underground sides of Genesis which would develop as the dwarves and earth elves became closer, they could create the second stage for Genesis underground. Space above and below would allow for different races and affinities to shine. It was just a perfect way for them to work together. 

These conversations had advanced so much that it was hard to keep up with. The dragons joining Genesis fully had been such a massive undertaking that the sheer magnitude was still not reaching everyone. 

The protection and growth of their forces would skyrocket with the dragons coming together. With the corrupted undead that were part of the corrupted floating city, the dragons had seen the dangers. Therefore, when the other dragons were called for movement and to prepare for battle, they knew that this was a real threat. 

The dragons had not gone to war in a very long time. They had small battles to switch one another, but not against another race and not between one another enough that any other effort was required. 

With the values and skills that Walker had shown the royal dragons, they had opened their minds more. They had believed in purity for their dragon race. Each kind of dragon stayed together. But now, some mixed dragons would have more chances to exist. They already had some that acted as keys to keep the two different villages from fighting. But now they could be hybrids with multiple affinities that strived for a new path of dragon race growth. 

These thoughts stayed with Walker for some time as more details were worked out. The dragons would maintain a lot of their laws and traditions while allowing themselves room to adjust with Genesis laws and beliefs. It would also be clear that the dragons could not take their full forms around the other races since it would be dangerous to many weaker races or to the buildings created. This was just expected out of respect for their relationships. 

By the time that this topic had finished, everyone had more preparations to make than before. Especially those that would be helping the many dragonkin travels and join in to Genesis. Every single one would need identification, food, and jobs to help create the spaces for the dragon villages to settle.

Walker found himself walking out of the Genesis building with his own to do list of things. He had to first make his way to the wandering blacksmith. Many materials from Sigil had his name on them and the sooner he saw them the better. What he didn't expect was that the wandering blacksmith's forge had been closed. 

While this was a rushed visit from Genesis building to forge, Walker could still hear the constant pounding of hammers on metal from within. He naturally let himself in and found the wandering blacksmith surrounded by many basic swords, armors, and other various tools for battle. A clear preparation for the battles coming. 

When he noticed Walker though, a silent smile grew on the wandering blacksmith's face. He had been ready to see Walker again for some time. He had even stepped away from the ship building when he heard that Walker's party had returned. This was a big deal. New materials meant new tests, new theories, and most importantly, new forging methods that would challenge him.
