Master Of None

The topic was more or less finished for the time being. Leon and his sister behind him were looking much more relaxed. They were able to take even a second away from the worry of the kraken attacking their home. They had more than found help here and were going to be able to return to their new home with an army to fight off the threat. Their father would never imagine a dragon coming to help them. There might even be multiple dragons!

"Now, having the fields around the river and streams over here sounds risky. It could flood corps. But with the right experts in the fields, we can pick them before it floods. When the fields do floor we will have a better fertilized plot of land meaning more food and also a more welcoming area for the merfolk to walk to the city from." King Rorick had taken charge of everything that was related to farming. He was the most knowledgeable anyways and had sent most of the farmers. 

"I agree, the plants there will grow better. And might I recommend you visit the alchemy guild building before you leave after the summit ends in a few days. I hope to renew some of your feelings about potions." Remey was sure that she could convince the demi-human kingdom of the value potions had. They would not need to fear the potions made by her guild. 

"That can be arranged. I will give it a chance. That is the least I could do." King Rorick wanted to push back but he knew the elves and dwarves had been involved in creating the guild building and founding members. This was not something easy to corrupt and cause the same incident as his people had suffered before. 

"Since that is discussed, let's speak on trade. My people have opened their doors for the first time in years. I have forty different merchants coming to their stalls in the next two days. They will have items never before sold. There will also be specialized mage shops. Besides that, the dwarves will be partnering with some of my elves to bond with spirits. Our market will be wild." The worry that Queen Reina had was that the prices would be unable to stabilize to see things safely. The elf goods would be too valuable and either sell out or be unobtainable. 

"That is where the Garnet family auction comes in. They had a skilled group of appraisers that have signed magical contracts to be unbiased to any race and item. They will evaluate prices and walk the markets to ensure that no one is over or under charging customers. They will be accompanied by the adventurers' guilds' unique adventurers. I promise no one will notice them coming" Clara had taken this upon herself since she knew it would be a fight over the issue. The shadows would accompany the appraisers in the shadows for their safety and to end any potential fights. 

"Good. If it was not by magical contract I would question it. I approve of this. Before I let go of the attention, I have decided that Alma will be the acting forest elf representative here. Se is young and needs to learn the weight of a people. I have taught her the basics but she can evolve with the city where I can not. I also plan to connect with the other hidden elf cities to bring them to the alliance as well. The rock elves and snow elves may be interested. I can not promise anything about the flame elves in the magma fields past the deserts. They are an arrogant group." 

The news that Alma would be taking the lead as the representative appeared to be new to Alma along with everyone else. However, the other rulers were understanding of the reasoning. The queen could bring other elves whereas Alma lacked those connections. There was also the fact that Alma would be able to grow in to the position without changing her values. That was a very valuable quality to have. 

"Welcome Alma, representative of the forest elves to the Genesis council." The rulers all greeted her with pleasant smiles. Current was the only one to remain stoic while witnessing everything. 

"This is not the normal governing of a village. For a royal it is disorganized. That being said, it is not strange for a royal to have their own version of leadership. Those fire dragons decide their elders through ridiculous fights in magma. As such, I will have my best dragonkin come here to witness the council. I am sure the other royals will do so once you come to the royal court." Current spoke as if the other rulers were just ornaments there. But this was how the dragons spoke. 

"This is my style yes. I believe that everyone will be stronger together. Have you never imagined the things you could accomplish, the skills you could see, and amazing sights, and other things if you worked with other races for a change? I may be human, but I have met the conditions to be called a royal dragon. That is not something that any dragon will have expected." Walker made his point harshly and powerfully. His words held weight that caused the entire room to shiver. 

"Yes, the human royal dragon. The human draconic guardian. The dragon champion with a skeletal dragon as a father and a black flame dragon variation as a mother. What a combination for the royal archives to record." The words sounded nostalgic but lessened the pressure anyone felt from Current. 

"Ehm, I hope to move on to the underground sedition of the city. The dwarves will carve it just as the elves are planting their trees. We wish to share the space with the elves and farm crystals if possible." The king of the middle was right on point with what they wanted and queen Reina smirked. The two could easily work out a deal for this situation
