Master Of None

There was so much that Walker wanted to ask from Adair. But he knew from the look on her face that she wouldn't be sharing anything further. Yes, she had just shared some secrets of the dragon court but nothing too major. It just shed away some of the harsh strict rulings and brought to light some of the kindness that was hidden behind their pride. Even a dragon that had no family or connection to the villages would be protected to a degree if they were in a good place. 

"I find it very disappointing that tamers would risk such danger. I thought for a long time that the tamers we invited to our villages were upstanding people. A guild that could bring many races together. I would hate to be proven wrong. It would go against my pride as a dragon." The soft growl from Adair made the water vibrate before she turned back to Walker. "I hope that helped a little." 

"I think it helped more than you believe." Walker watched as one of the electrified eels used electricity to fry a small group of intact eggs. The tamers had emptied themselves of anything they attempted to bury and hide. There was just enough fear to make them own up to anything wrong that they were going to do. 

The threat to remove them from cities was massive. They had already heard of the heroes that made an entire city possible. That had gone to every race near them and brought them together. The heroes that had risen from such a low level to throw their ideals around and spur change. They may not have been the most powerful beings in the world, but they had the voice to reach kings. 

"Sir hero, my leader has stepped back. Please feel free to give your orders to me for the time being. Just call me J. I am a sand worm tamer." The man had a single sand colored worm wrapped around his arm. The small tendril like fins constantly moved on the creature. 

'Hatchling sandworm

This is a monster that grows hidden from the naked eye. It possesses amazing camouflage and had been known to utilize the water and earth elemental mana to attack. They are able to grow a hundred feet long and have been found to live in shipwrecks due to their ideal hiding places. They actually have very sharp teeth hidden in their mouths to drill through their prey.'

"Then I will do so. Please move the tamers to the merfolk city. I will finish the check of this area. I expect you to report personally to your guild master and report every detail exactly as it happened. My friend here will be landing at your guild headquarters before you arrive to speak with the guild master as well." Adair smiled showing her sharper teeth and the man named J just nodded vigorously. 

"I will be sure to do so. Please allow me to help in any way. Move to the city to assist with clean up efforts. I want to see everyone working until they can't work any longer. Make sure you get your amulets refilled with mana!" The orders went out and every single tamer moved as if a fire had been lit under them. 

"Huh, I didn't even notice the amulets they wore. They must be what helps them breathe underwater. I wonder if I can get one of those made for my party." Walker spoke idly as he realized his adrenalin was long gone and he was feeling tired. 

"I'm sure you can find them in the merfolk city. They happen to provide them to most tourists. That is if they survived the attack. I do think they would welcome the gold though." Adair knew it would take more than working bodies to get the merfolk city back to its glory. They would need materials and gold to pay for them. If Walker bought something here and there then they would be able to build back just a little faster. 

"I will have to help build their economy then. Feel like checking this area with Midnight, Fleur, and I?" Adair nodded and started in on the nest with them. They had some serious looking to do. 

"Gil, any improvements on representative Alma?" The enforcers had bonded with Gil and he had heavily leaned on them to just call him Gil. They had no problem following his orders after seeing the look that Alma had given them when he had asked days ago. 

"She is looking a lot better. She used way too much mana. I know she was worried and wanted to help but I need to lecture her after this. Of all the people to be so reckless. I expect this from Remey and Walker…" Gil shook his head while looking at Alma again. Alice was still singing nearby but he was still worried. Alma was still asleep after using so much mana at once. 

"Gil, you are pale and sweating. If you don't sit down and drink this mana potion I will get Remey to force it down your throat. Trust me, If the person I like was here like this I would be the same as you." Su was calm as a rock but she wasn't so stupid as to believe Gil would listen to her if she did not show she related to him. She didn't lie though. She would have felt fairly worried of a certain musician was on his back unconscious after a brutal battle as well. 

"I know. I just need to breathe." The enforcers also visibly relaxed after Su gave them a few looks and forced mana and healing potions in to their hands. They may not have been injured but they needed the time to rest and focus their minds. Everyone did.
