Master Of None

As some know, the adventurer's guild has more or less banned the exploration of the surface ancient ruins. This is because of an event involving the omnipotent party meeting an ancient being. One that goes by the name of, Immortal king. He is an ancient lich capable of controlling thousands of undead trapped within the ruins."

Those that had not heard of this were understandably shocked. It had been a carefully guarded secret because of the danger that came with knowing these things. Along with that, there was also the fact that if adventurers began attempting to go there to attack the undead, they could aggravate the immortal king. The party had already confirmed that he enjoyed playing with those that came snooping.

"I simply believe that with undead king's age, they may have records about what it means for the mana to be unbalanced. For what a spirit ascending means. I can't say that an ancient race would have answers. But the older races we have researched prior have given us a lot. Immortal king may have a different story than the ancient race that left the tower, but it's a chance."

Walker felt that Clara was uncomfortable coming out with this. The possibility that Genesis could become the target for Immortal king was high. There was too much for him to want to play with here. But it was a good idea. "I hate to say this, but I agree. Just not right away. Let's let the flame elves get here and the competitions to be settled. The world works in strange ways and we should see things begin to even out soon."

"I agree with putting this off. Genesis does not need to add to the threats we have right now. I believe the elves can bring a great deal of light to this case. I will have my archeologists study the ruins we have found more carefully first." The king of the deep caves agreed with this, then stood to walk out. He wanted to pass on these orders before things progressed.

"There seems to be a lot changing in the world. So, I will have my father participate in this. He can send scouts to water side ruins. There are a few that none of you would be able to safely access." Leon knew that the merfolk people had found underwater ruins before. But one had bothered to search them since there was no need.

"Feel free to ask my aquatic troops for assistance. They can act as guards." Scylla and Leon agreed quickly on this. They were better off working together than apart.

"I know this may not be to the topic we are on… Alma, are you planning to pursue the stone elves and the frost elves next? Or will you wait?" Markus Raven came out to ask his question. There was a very serious look on his face that said he had many intentions.

"That would be the next step. There are hints about the stone elves within the mountains. They will be hard to find though. The frost elves are the most talkative and may visit on their own. They don't like leaving the year round frozen lands in the high mountains." Alma was sure that the frost elves would come. They had maintained communications with the forest elves for a long time.

"Should I assume that the wind elves and the frost elves are one in the same?" Markus had drawn this conclusion some time ago. But he was waiting for a solid answer.

"Yes, the water elves that left from the colder regions were partnered with wind elves. They joined and became of mixed affinities. The flow of water and wind are very similar. The wind elves used to stay in the mountains or plains but found the plateau where the water elves were going had powerful winds all year round. That helped them bond." Alma did not hesitate to share more. The frost elves were the few elves that had never actually closed their city. It was just impossible for the average person to venture to.

"I would think they had a relationship with the water or wind dragons. Especially since they are on the highest plateau. I wonder if I can look in to it." Walker mumbled out loud his ideas. He might be able to speak with Ignus about what he could do to get the wind royal dragon Ventus to Genesis next.

"If you all do not mind, I would like my enforcers to get rest. I believe Gil and I should also take some time to rest before we proceed with anything else. It has been an eventful episode." Alma took the pause in conversation as the best chance to leave. Gil didn't argue and followed her out.

"On that note, I will head out as well. Clean up and then look at the mage tower for Mordant. Someone should share with him that Ignus is coming." Walker was followed by Su, but Remey remained behind. She was going to meet with a few people to focus on the alchemy guild before she went back to the guild to see Trish and the old master alchemist.

There was a lot happening after the dragon had been sighted. Many people came out to see what had happened and the gossip had started. However, Markus Raven had thought of this and sent a few key guards to send messages around the city. It was a good method to cut down on panic or worries.

p "Su, do you think we are going to be able to relax? Or do you think the potion making competition that Remey is setting up will get dramatic?" Walker was just joking a little since he already knew it would be a big event.

"We will have two dragons here for affinity potions. I doubt we will have any free time." She laughed a little before she and Walker headed toward the mansion.
