Master Of None-Chapter 1626 1626. A Dull Trip Following
"Is she alright?" The question came after many people had already asked this very same question.
The very reason laying before everyone was a dragon that seemed to have gotten just a little too pudgy. The dragon in question? Midnight after she had discovered a new love for smoked and dried river snapper. The new favorite snack that seemed to have captured her heart…and stomach.
"I think she will be working off some of that tomorrow. But for now, I think it's alright that she enjoys it. She helped with the fire a lot. But maybe she won't ever get to eat this much again." Walker chuckled a little when he was that Midnight barely twitched hearing him in her sleep. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮
"I agree, she will have to learn some moderation." Su gave a few nods before sitting down with Walker. She had finished helping Alice but had been shooed away after Alice had realized that Su had neglected to eat.
"Are you feeling alright?" Walker looked at Alice because he knew she was still off. Remey had said that he shouldn't worry but she was his family. He would always worry about his family and how they were. Just because they were all strong teammates that could stand by themselves didn't mean anything. It was just part of being family that would make someone care about each other no matter what.
After a few bites of food, Su looked at Walker and shrugged a little. " I knew you would catch on a bit more than you let on but I thought that you would just let it be for a little longer. Remey and I already worked it out and I'm just going to get stronger. It's the only thing I can do without letting things eat away at me. Plus, I feel like I have been able to understand myself better."
It was good that Su was able to find the hidden positives in just about any situation. It was also good that she directed any negative feelings toward her training. "You know, you've been through harder things in life. You were by your mother's side while you and your father worried every day about her illness. I doubt you couldn't face any emotion now. But you definitely look more like a dragonkin when you fight lately."
"About that… I think the dragon blood is getting used to me. You know?" Su looked at Walker right in the eyes. He could see the more defined dragon like pupils along with a new golden coloration around them. But even more, the skin around her eyes seemed a little patterned. Not quite like a dragonkin's skin but definitely more refined.
"That's a good thing. The more you get close to it the more you will grow. Oh, wait, that means I need to get stronger faster too." This response earned Walker an elbow to his side. But it was Su, she was just making sure he knew that she would not let him stay too far ahead. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮
"You know, we are going to a brand new continent. No one we know or even met in our lives has been there. Remey kind of said it, but I have no idea what I will find there. Maybe that's where my future is." Walker wasn't sure how to reply. Su was totally right. Just because she had been turned away by someone she thought cared for her didn't mean there was only one person for her. There was more to the world.
"Hmm. The world is way bigger than we think. Isn't it?" The elemental planes came to mind when Walker thought of this as they were their own worlds in a way while this one was also massive. Adding in the fact that there were skills and magics that were considered outside of the natural flow made it seem like there might even be more than he could fathom right now. He was still just a child in comparison to his world, let alone the universe.
"By the way, when we get to the ocean, I am going to ask the water mages to help me with my water elemental resistances. I think that midnight and I can learn to swim. I'm tough and heavy now but I have the water affinity too even though it's weak compared to my earth affinity."
"That's a great idea! I have to work on some water elemental skills too. I always make things in to ice because it's easier to think of water as a solid. But I never try to keep water as water. But what if I could do more with just water? Maybe I can shorten the trip we are taking by a few days…" Walker trailed off in to too many tangents. Su felt like she had opened a can of worms she was not prepared to handle.
"Walker." Su looked at Walker seriously. He wasn't sure why she had interrupted him so suddenly. "Go and see how Alice is doing. Spend some time with her before we get to the open ocean. We only have a short while until we get to the mouth of the river at this speed. The river is already getting wider so we will move faster over the next day."
Feeling that he would get yelled at if he didn't get his priorities in order, Walker jumped up to do just that. Meanwhile, the other ships were following behind quite well.
"From what I can gather after checking the messages left behind, there were some monsters dens around here. And the main monster swarm that was here has been handled. But what we need to watch out for is the area we are crossing through now. It had a collapse that left this space nearly impassable." Alma had been caught up trying to alter the route they were on for some time.
The fact that so many messages were left behind had proved to be extremely helpful. She had been adding to the patrols when needed while also directing the mages aboard her ship to do what needed to be done to ensure that the waters they traveled in were safe. The merfolk that had come with them had taken up complete control of monitoring the under water which helped immensely.
Many of the elves had tried to come on her ship specifically. But she had ordered them to split up and represent her on every ship. This was because she was highly respected as the future forest elf queen but stood for every single elf on the Genesis council. The only elves that had not fought to stay with her were those that had gone with Gil. he was now seen as equally respected as she was which really made her proud at the end of the day.
"It sounds like things are going well. But I can tell that things have been a little rough. I went to look at that nest location you mentioned. There were dragon flame traces there. It means that a few of the people ahead of us may have learned to work with Walker and his champion."
Current had also taken the second ship. He had not done much as of yet since most threats were minuscule compared to what he would need to deal with. However, when he noticed that patrols were sent out he followed them. His discoveries made him want to fly ahead and find out what the details were. He wanted to Meet Walker and the others to hear everything.
"If I am right, then there may be a few of those that have joined with the first ship that will be coming to our villages in the future." The ideas that Current had were from what he had learned of history. Other races assisting dragons was not unheard of. Some dwarves had been asked to create their armor afterall.
"Oh? Then I hope they are some of my fellow elves. If they are then we can share more runes and magic skills." Alma knew that it would be very important for them to keep growing together. If the elves and the dragons came together more closely, then they would be able to enhance each other's homes more than others due to their longer lifespans.
"But that's for the future. When we get to the open ocean we will see what more there is to know and what enemies we will have to face." The dragonkin around the two seemed more focused than just a second ago. This somewhat peaceful trip had been fairly dull for them. They were waiting for the chance to show off their prowess in battle. And the open ocean would be ideal for them. They were the water affinity dragonkin under the strongest water affinity dragon royal. They needed to represent him with power.
