Master Of None

Kroll had worked hard to learn to read, write, and speak properly. Thanks to the forest eves he had learned very efficiently and with great speed. Not only did he and Ventus put all of their effort in to tasks like this, they never stopped. They spent three days alone awake so that they could begin to understand the basics of reading. 

Ventur had specifically watched how quills worked and learned to use his clawed leg to sign and write. From what anyone knew, he was the only grey haired spider that could even understand letters let alone read and write. Kroll was just as much of a shock because he was able to write his name in a decently legible fashion. 

'The sentient monsters, goblins have been recognized as a sentient race by the world. The race will slumber for three days while the mana gathers.'

'The sentient monsters, grey haired spiders, have been recognized as a sentient race. The race will slumber for three days while the mana gathers'

Just like that, the world had sent them notifications recognizing the goblins and the grey haired spiders. It was safe to say that when Current jumped up he was more than surprised. This was not something he had seen or thought he would see. A race being recognized was more than just a small matter. This was a world changing event that would make a mark on all of history. 

The elf queen Reina was smiling and not even attempting to hide her emotions. She had known that Kroll had received a chain quest the day that Walker had made friends with them and had been working with Ventus to make their goal come true. They had called out to goblins all around the kingdoms and brought them together to make the first goblin village. 

"Ventus and Kroll have worked very hard for this and the heroes were the ones that made this possible. My enforcers will bring them somewhere to rest while the world blesses them." Kroll and Ventus were currently on the floor seemingly asleep. Walker could feel the natural mana working on their bodies and see slight changes occurring in them. It was clear that they would have many changes in the next days to come which they would be learning. 

"When my branch village elder visited me personally I was going to punish her for leaving the village I gave her. I never expected to be convinced to come here, and witness a race being recognized. I may not speak for all royals…The water dragon villages will recognize the royal village of Genesis. I will allow my dragonkin to come and view it if they desire." This was not an admittance to join the alliance but it was enough for Walker to relax a little. The entire room seemed to visibly relax as well. 

"Following that should be a little harder. I am very honored to see something I desire for some of my people come to fruition. I have others like Kroll and Ventus within my kingdom. This is Ava, a harpy queen. She brought three harpies to my kingdom eight years ago. Now there are over seventy that call my kingdom home. I hope to allow them the same path as we have just witnessed. But I also believe they can serve an important role here in the city. They are the ideal mail, message, and communication experts due to their flight ability and musical talents." Rorick had been invigorated after Kroll and Ventus gained their recognition as a race. 

The harpy queen stepped closer to the table. Everyone was able to see the timid personality of the harpy. Partially it was because of the dragons which were a true being of the sky having natural pressure over a harpy. But other than that it was the extreme pressure from all their gazes. Rorick whispered slightly to her to prompt her forward. 

"I am Ava. The current harpy queen. Thank you for seeing me today. I wish to become a member of this alliance along with residence of this new city." Clara didn't even wait for the rest of the council. 

"The adventurers' guild will take you in if they do not desire you to join the alliance. You bring value to the city and to the way every guild and business can run. We would be fools to ignore your potential." Clara had a slight look of fear when she realized that she may have just insulted the entire room. Fortunately, everyone was looking at her approvingly. This was the right move even if they had not spoken it first. 

Ava signed the contract quickly but no reaction of race recognition appeared. However, her eyes glazed over and visible energy came from her. "I take it you have a quest now?" Walker wanted to know what it was immediately. He knew it must have to do with becoming a sentient race recognized by the world. 

"Yes! Sir hero, the world challenges us to show a harpys' might." He had not expected to be called sir hero right away but he didn't mind. The timid personality gave way to a more honest energetic personality that showed how Ava would normally act. Rorick could only smirk watching this. 

"You might be some flying bird and not as good as a mole or two when it comes to digging. But we will need you to contact our main city every now and then. Show us what you have." The king of the surface was glad to have a new method of communication. The long range communication golems that they had attempted to make always failed and they were forced to use precious communication orbs. 

"I believe the table is free. My name is Leon and I am here to represent the merfolk. Unfortunately, my father is busy fighting for the life of my people. My sister and I are here on the rite of succession to represent our people. I hope to ask for assistance as a condition for joining the Genesis alliance." All focus fell on the two merfolk in the room.
