Master Of None

Chapter 2453: 2453. Right To A Home

The intensity of the flames and earth mana began to grow more and more. The elder earth dragons also brought out some of their own purer earth mana to increase the depth of the larger pool of lava forming. When Ignus began to breathe out dragon flames, the temperature grew yet again as the moved earth melted. 

However, all this happened, the lava spirit dragon began to showcase a healthier appearance. All the mana and the changing environment it was in contact with was allowing for it to grow from what had been a weakening state. 

Walker could sense that it had been weakening for some time and that it must have desperately needed the mana which it was finally getting now. This situation showed on its scales and the slender body becoming a little more natural rather than slim. 

The other dragons also finally began to feel a sort of resonance that told them that this was a fellow dragon. The same feeling of other dragons that would approach and the understanding that they were of the same species. 

When it came to the way that the eyes of the lava spirit dragon focused, it was no longer as panicked or frantic as before. That desire to survive and focus on growth with the hope it found in the changed area proved to Walker that it had more intelligence than what he needed to worry about. 

He had been worried that there would be a chance this was an intelligent monster which had lived in a boundary between earth and fire elemental planes. He knew from the way that its actions and movements slowed that it had regained enough comfort to be able to process where it had truly landed. It was also protected by the mana it had been given. 

In the risk of moving through the bridge to the elemental planes, it had known that it could perish. It had been born in a place which caused it to only remain living because of unique mixtures of manas. It could have died at any time. 

Over the years of growth it was never able to travel from that boundary. The space it could move was lesser and lesser. A home that was shrinking slowly and causing it to know that it would never live the thousands of years that a dragon could live. 

Yet, that was why it came in to contact with two true sages. They had said that it could survive if it waited. That there was a chance it would be able to leave the boundary between two elemental planes and potentially find another place where it could survive. 

That was if it could survive the journey and the radical change in manas around it right away. 

What this lava spirit dragon did not know was that the moment the bridge to the elemental planes opened, the two true sages ad sent along their will with the manas as well to find just the person helping it wreath tis body in this dense earth and fire mana which became lava mana, or what some would call magma mana. Although there were often some differences between the two. 

"You seem to understand you are in a better shape now. I don't think we have to hold back as much mana now that you have some control?" Walker said this and the lava spirit dragon focused its own mana and began to halt the overflowing fire and earth mana that poured through the bridge to the elemental planes for an hour. 

It took it only an hour to smooth the transition and cause everything around the area to calm. While pools of lava had appeared and the area which had been separated for growth of the two territories in time was now not going to be the same kind of livable as what had been planned, nothing had really been damaged. 

A few materials for building here and there and some minor test crops for the area. Nothing that would cause any massive loss. Instead, it could even be said that they had gained more than a few good things. 

The evidence that a unique species of the dragon race could exist even if the egg of a dragon was harmed was something that Walker knew would radically change the world's dragon's. 

For many years it was believed that a damaged dragon egg was the end of that hatchling. Those that had hatched from damaged eggs perished, lost their abilities to use their mana and were exiled to perish, or never hatched in the first place. 

Whoever, they had the chance to awaken a unique aspect of their bloodline now. It meant that there was a chance that the dragons could increase their population and vary their uniqueness by learning more about their very own species. 

It was the Walker who might have gained more. He had a promised favor from two of the true sages from the elemental planes. That could mean knowledge or the path to be able to help Genesis grow much more. He wanted to cash those favors in when the people of Genesis began to explore the elemental planes. He couldn't do that just yet. 

"You are unlike what I have seen. I have never seen things like any of you but in passing. Other dragons." A desolate tone echoed in the words that reached them all. Ignus looked down at the slender lava spirit dragon and was sure that it had been in solitude for its entire life. That look was the same for those dragons that hid away and only left their caves or dens for a short while a year. Some dragons never chose to be social.

"You do not match what we knew as well." Ignus landed and walked along the lava carefully. It was not allowing him to fall through, proving some of the fire mana that Ignus used was able to maintain his ability to stand on it. But Walker wasn't going to look for answers in that just yet. He watched carefully as Ignus took the lead. 

"I am the royal fire dominator dragon Ignus. I lead the fire dragons. Terron is the royal earth dominator dragon who manages the territory attached to mine on this side. You came here for a reason and I will be the one to welcome you." He didn't show hostility. From what the lava spirit dragon could feel, Ignus was on an entirely different level than he was. 

It also was clear that Ignus was standing to represent all the dragons currently here except for Walker who watched carefully from the air still. But it was a feeling that there were not enemies, just those who were curious. 

"That is Walker, he is not a dragon in blood, but he is the true nature dragon we follow in the growth of a unified race and races. You came here. You have the opportunity for that as well. Would you like this?" 

The lava began to shiver and move in waves more and more. 

"I am three hundred years old. Lost to the lava of the boundary between two worlds and unable to grow beyond it. If I can do so, I would travel wherever I may have the opportunity to travel. That is all I wish. To be free to roam." 

A huff of heat and following laughter left Ignus's mouth before he looked at the lava spirit dragon. "You are young and you are not familiar with this place. You have the opportunities to take those things here. You can even meet beings you would never imagine to meet. You can take to the sky as every dragon had the right. We just ask that you contribute to the growth of everything living with these territories and alliances."

Ignus knew very well that with the elder earth dragons and himself here, he could allow this dragon to fly in to the sky for what was most likely the first time in its life. At this age, it should have known the joys of flight. 

"I will help that as well. If Ignus wants to help take you in, we will need a guardian for this bridge to the elemental planes. Whenever the fire and earth manas become greater you can help manage them. The elemental planes shift but having someone dedicated to moving to those that have fire and earth would be helpful."

The cheery interjection made the lava spirit dragon astonished. 

It wasn't sure if it had perished and was now living in an unknown afterlife, or if it was hallucinating in the last few moments of death. But it was not going to ignore this, instead, it was going to enjoy this unfamiliar warmth it had never felt before.
