Master Of None

Chapter 1003 - 1003. Wreckage

"Fleur, you and Midnight need to learn to speak soon alright?" Walker gave Fleur a small pat on the head while also giving Midnight a slight smirk. He was most excited for them to learn how to speak themselves. Fleur was most likely going to be able to speak completely whereas a regular elemental spirit would be able to speak with mana only. It was mostly a feeling but with all the elemental mana combined in to natural mana, Walker couldn't imagine Fleur wouldn't be able to speak.Â

Midnight just needed more time. She had long heard the party speak but she had never spoken a word. It was foreign to her since she had just gained the ability to shift in to dragonkin form. But again, she needed to get used to that form first.Â

"I want to keep understanding what happened with Fleur, the earth spirit, and just everything but'¦" Remey trailed off while looking at the mounds of destroyed wood on the shore and even some larger pieces floating about the harbor. Every once in a while a ripple would show smaller tentacles from the kraken young.Â

"I don't think any ships are even left at this rate." There were none on the water from what Gil could see and the docks had been barricaded so anything inside the village was obscured.Â

"I wonder what the golems are doing?" Walker found that there were a group of golems digging a little ways from the water. They seemed to be commanded by one of the dwarven royal guard that had been at Genesis before.Â

"I think it is some kind of trap maybe? I don't know. Let's go look before we enter the city." Su took the lead again in her curiosity after brushing off her thoughts about Fleur and the earth spirit. She was also trying to distract herself from the exhaustion she felt from maneuvering away from the lizardmen attacks.Â

"Alice, how are you feeling?" Walker was sure that Alice was tired. She was walking slower but it appeared that she was still able to keep going. Her eyebrows were furrowed with determination and he could only hand her some water before he continued on. If he mentioned that he was proud of her or that he could carry her he was sure that she would be angry. This was her first real adventure with them and they were just getting to their goal. They had people to help.Â

"Brother, sister says she can smell pepper and garlic." This was an off mix of smells but as Walker began to sniff the air as well he picked up on it. His eyes drifted to barrels floating in the water that were partially broken open.Â

"It looks like the ships were carrying goods. I hope we can help any survivors. Maybe they can come to Genesis and grow their business again?" Walker wanted the best for people and knowing that there were many most likely hurt and at a loss because of the kraken spawn made him furious.Â

"Alma!" Remey took off in to a run as she recognized the familiar face. "How long have you been here? I thought we would beat you."Â

"Remey? I was surprised that we did beat you but we have only been here a few hours. The enforcers are traveling through the village to help out with injuries and set up sentries. I was about to start growing some razor whip weed so I can seal off the bay. If I can manage that then we can prepare for the trip in the water." Alma had it all planned out but was thankful that the party was here to help as well.Â

"We were wondering what the digging was about. You are making your own underwater greenhouse. Very smart." The compliment was slight but it was enough to make Alma hold Gil's gaze for a short while.Â

"Did Current and his elder dragons arrive yet? I thought they may have already started the battle." There was no sign of any dragons around and it was worrying.Â

"Not that I know of. But there has been some dragonkin that arrived and wandered down the beach to scout. I would assume they are preparing just like me." Even though Alma had just shown up, it was good that she had been able to figure so much out.Â

"We are going to enter the village and see what we can do. Alice, Onyx, and I need some rest after cutting through the swamp. Between the purple blood worms and lizardmen, we used a lot of mana." Su knew that they would need to be at their best and was forcing herself to rest. She could also feel the unusualness from the earth spirit residing in the spirit mark and needed time to relax.Â

"I will scout a good vantage point and try to take a few long shots at the young krakens. If we are going to cut them off with the razor whip weed then we should be able to lure more in." The idea seemed crazy but with the help of the dragons, they might be able to take down a large chunk of kraken spawn at once. It was a simple work smarter not harder idea.Â

"Good luck. My enforcers will help with whatever you need. The dwarven golems have been an excellent help. There are more inside the village as well. Apparently, some of the kraken spawn attempted to get on shore but were forced back." This was a bad sign to hear but it could be remedied with the help that was arriving and still would arrive.Â

"I will ask you about your new plant later. I want to see what alchemy ingredients there are around here. Maybe I can make something useful." Remey followed Gil ahead toward the makeshift walls that blocked off the village from the danger in the waters.Â
