Master Of None

"Wait, we are setting up camp right here?" Remey wanted to go somewhere better to sleep but was completely defeated after she had seen Walker taking out bed rolls for them to sleep there. He also pulled out the food he had stored so they could all eat. Without any interruptions, they were all able to relax and rest for some time.

Walker was not the first to wake up. Once his eyes opened he realized that Remey had already taken her leave. He found a small note next to her bed roll that said she had left to go and made night vision potions. She had the stats of a level forty one and was excited to put them to use. 

"Morning Gil." Walker moved to sit next to Gil who was sitting in front of multiple piles of arrows. 

"Morning. Look what the trainees left for mew. They made sets of twenty of each of the arrows we made. I think they might be my followers or something now." Gil laughed but Walker could tell he was very touched by this gift. 

"You were one of the first people that forced them to change their way of thinking and be creative. I am willing to bet that the next time we visit those arrows will already be considered old news. But the feelings left behind will be strong so don't worry." Walker gave Gil a soft punch to the arm and Gil returned it. They had become like brothers through their travels since Gil was an only child and Walker was the only son in his family.

"You two should try and be more quiet when you bond. If I was Remey you would need healing." Su was stretching after waking up and finding the two in front of the arrows. "Will we be training today or will we make other plans?' Su was right to business after waking up which did not surprise Walker in the least. 

"I think we should do our own things. We have a lot to adjust to and I don't see a single trainee around. I bet they rested much longer than us. I also think we should go and see hope the elves are doing. That world shake or umm experience flood really must have surprised them,.' Walker already knew that the elves had intentionally left them to rest but now they would need to answer for the things that had come of their training.

Like a ghost showing up an enforcer was walking up to them. "Heroes, the queen would like to request your presence in her hall. The remaining demi-human representatives have arrived and the king of your kingdom has entered the forest and will arrive within the night." This news was enough to get Walker's blood pumping. It had been some time but they were finally going to have the talks necessary for a brighter future. 

Gil, You want to get Midnight and Onyx moving while Su and I head to meet with the queen?" Gil gave a nod and began to place arrow after arrow in to the quiver. It was still amazing to watch them all fit even though there were so many. 

"Then please show us the way." Walker stood tall after storing away the things the party had left out after sleeping. This was not much hut enough for him to get moving before he needed to act his title. 

The enforcer was silent as they walked the long way to the hall where the queen took her guests. The same elders were present as the two came in to the hall along with the queen still resting on vines. There was a noticeable difference in the vines and the appearance of the queen. 

"Welcome back young heroes. Before we begin I must congratulate you on causing a world shake. It has been many years since this happened and we are honored to have witnessed it. The natural mana did wonders to heal the decay from the slimes." This explained the change in the queen and her vines. The decay was nearly nonexistent now.

"We did not expect it ourselves. We apologize for any shock that came to your people." Walker knew that this was a great happening but also shocking and could have negatively affected the people. 

"There were only some minor injuries from those who passed out from the dense mana. Other than that things are well. Please do not dwell on what you did not expect to happen." The queen brushed things off as neatly as she could. There were other matters that needed attention. 

"The remaining two representatives came from the demi-human kingdom to greet me. I will have them brought in with their representative General Scylla."  Two enforcers opened a side door and welcome in Scylla who was leading two familiar demi-humans. 

"I general of the front; Scylla. Greet you. These are two of our promising warriors here to represent our kingdom of Ordist. Monty the rising star of staff battles, the second rank genius, and Serius the dancing saber and the first ranked genius warrior. I hope they may learn a great many things while in your care." 

Walker recognized the two from the small tournament that had happened while they were visiting the demi-human kingdom. The one names Monty was the one with monkey traits and the one name Serius had leopard traits. These were the two that had fought each other to a draw and both declared the losers of the tournament because of this. 

Walker was glad to see them since he had wanted to meet them but wasn't able to. Now he would be able to extend a hand to them while they were here. The two knelt in front of the queen while holding something wrapped in fabric. From what Walker could see it was a small box.
