Chapter 1603 1603. Dragon Fire Mage
Scylla was watching every second of healing and mana recovery. She had heard a lot about Alice but had yet to truly interact. She believed what her soldiers had told her though. They were proof that the great things were more than true. Especially now that Scylla was yet again under the influence of Alice's skills.
"You did a lot of good work when getting us to the merfolk waters. Now, you are surpassing that." The simple comment after Alice had finished her song was enough to shock Alice. Scylla was speaking with her again which was unusual. Scylla was very well known for always being focused on battle, not Beijing focused on healing.
"I would appreciate bringing you in to any battle. Especially a battle against the greatest enemy our new alliance has. I trust my soldiers will be able to survive the best with your healing." This was what Scylla believed. Out of all the healers, even if the high priest was younger, she would choose Alice.
"Thank you. I will get even better." The promise that Alice made was not small. She believed that she could continuously improve. How could she not? She wanted to stand beside those she cared for. If she did not, the party would get too far ahead of her. They would radically improve leaving her too far behind to do a single thing.
"I heard that, with Alice and My potions, we have everyone awake and functional again." Remey didn't hesitate to jump in with Alice. This was mostly because she wanted Scylla to join her and Su by distributing more potions. However, Walker had other plans.
"Wait, there are a group of mages that want to speak with us and Midnight. They were the ones that made the flames you saw." Scylla was instantly interested. Remey didn't hesitate either. She was curious since she had her partner to rely on when flames came to the conversation. It was impossible for her not to want to understand those that had controlled Midnight's flames.
"Brother, they want to speak with us." Midnight pulled Walker back over. She had changed to her dragonkin form because she was able to rest now on the ship. It was also the form she wanted to practice in the most while resting. It was easy for her to revert to her dragon form anyways.
"The five of you did great work that even I could see from the ship. Not many can work together like that. When your group was organized it was simply because a dragon and fire mages seemed to make sense. Midnight is strong enough to resist your flames. But you did more than that I assume?" While taking the lead, Scylla saw that the mages' eyes were shimmering. Their excitement was clear.
"General, we may be mentally exhausted from our newfound abilities, but we are able to tell you for certainty, putting us together was a blessing. We have titles. Titles we never imagined and could only dream of. We have the title of dragon fire mage. We can manipulate dragon fire when it is used around us now. Thanks to you, miss. Midnight, and the desires we followed to be here…we have achieved something unique."
Immeasurable pride burned in the mage's eyes while they said this. It was clear that the mana potions and minor healing from small burns was all they kept them going. Mentally they had taken a big hit on their energy. Something like using a new title and skill was intense, the entire party knew this.
"Then you should use it well. When the ships reach the mouth of the river to join up, you will meet with Ignus." Walker had to be sure that the dragons would accept this. Igus was the biggest test since he was the royal fire dragon.
'ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N ovelBi(n)',
"I agree, it will be paramount to your strength in the future. You should bond well with the fire dragons to be able to stand with them in battle. Especially against wyverns. Until then, I will ask Midnight to allow you to train on the deck of the ship." Scylla turned around hiding her smile. She was glad to see more powerful soldiers. To see a new way to fight arrive. This was what she had expected by going with the party on the first ship.
"Hmm, able to manipulate dragon flames? Ignus will have some trouble with that one." Mordant nearly scared them out of their skin but showing up from the shadows behind them. But even more surprising was that Rise had also lowered herself to the deck of the ship. They had both listened in without giving themselves away.
"You believe that Ignus would allow another to manipulate his flames? He will eat them before the day is up if he could be here to see this." Rise was more certain that Ignus would want these mages gone. They had a fearful control of his flames. Something no other could ever do from what the dragons understood.
"Have there never been any dragonkin that can manipulate dragon fire? I thought some of the draconic guardians can breathe flames?" Walker saw Su nod out of the corner of his eye. She would attest to this as much as she could if he was told otherwise. She was living proof.
"That is different. They are already under us. Their strength is our strength." Rise was already pushing the idea away that others could learn these skills even though she had witnessed it.
"As often as Rise and I do not see eye to eye, she is correct. Having our innate skills used against us is a potential we wish to avoid. How can these five promise they will not turn Ignus's flames against him?" Mordant let out a little threat at this. His eyes said that he was unafraid of harming the five mages if they even dared to say they would do such a thing.
"Then it's even more important that the dragons guide them. Do you think I would turn the arrows on the elves that I have made with their guidance? They have properly guided me in a system that humans never get. I am indebted and considered one of them. It took some time but earning respect and sharing things will create a bond that can not be broken. Until then, create a contract. There should be a magical contract that will prevent animosity."
From the way that Gil spoke, he had many more thoughts on this subject. He could only relate this to the way that the elves offered him ways to grow. He had taken them and been proud of it. He had even taught them things with his outside the box way of thinking when it came to arrows. Therefore, their missions were his. His missions were theirs.
"Well said but we shall see it in practice later." Rise accepted what Gil said and returned to the air well above the ship. She was not concerned with the assassin jackets being attacked on the river banks as they traveled. They were too small in her eyes. The only interest she had had was the dragon fire that had grown in battle.
"Hmm, I will let Ignus see this himself. For now, Midnight is in charge. It should be good for her. She can grow faster." Mordant relaxed a lot when Rise surprisingly agreed to this for now. He had imagined more pushback from her to end these mages right away.
On the other hand, the mages were very happy. So happy that they could not contain themselves. They had stepped above what they had been and were traveling a new path of fire mage mastery. Who would be unhappy? Even with the danger they believed they had created history.
"I guess that is that then. Pretty interesting though." Remey was at a loss now that the energy had died down. She just wanted to return to make more antidote potions using the assassin jackets as ingredients.
"I am pleasantly surprised. Can I see how you make antidotes this time? I wonder if they can be made in to pills for the soldiers to carry instead of bottles." Su seemed to say enough for Remey to become excited all over again. Before Walker could even give the assassin jackets to Remey, the pair was off toward the alchemy lab.
"If they are going to the alchemy lab, that means I should rest and work on more arrows. I have the poison that I need for those yellow tearing falcon feathers." Gil's grin told Walker that he would have plenty of work to do.
"You five should rest. Midnight will let you know when you can train. For today, it is better for you to organize your thoughts." Walker left the mages alone with these thoughts. They had a lot to decide amongst themselves.
