Master Of None

Chapter 2249: 2249. Playful Winds



The constant moving about of wind mana and the true wind sage while Walker explained why everyone who had come with him was there made things a little harder. It wasn't the buffeting of the wind but the keeping up with the true wind sage. He had a million questions on top of his boundless energy.

"You're saying that you want this dragon to be allowed to return with me for a short time. And also for one of the angels?" The true wind sage didn't appear to be angry at this. "No."

Now Walker was lost. The true wind sage had not appeared to be unhappy with the suggestion. "Those angels can do their talking here. I can maintain the safety of those one their way. The wind spirit race here has the right to go to the wind elemental plane, but not to manipulate it. She will be watched. The dragon, that would cause discord."

Now this was a surprise. Ventus was the one that would cause discord?" it was a certainty that Ventus would not knowingly cause trouble for anyone unless necessary. Therefore, it meant that she would be causing the problem just by being there.

"True wind sage, please enlighten me as to the issues that would come from my exploration within the wind elemental plane at this time. I can not see them as I am from the world without proper understanding as you have." Ventus was polite. She maintained the respect she knew she had to give the true wind sage.

"Your wind is calm, I appreciate this. I can feel you would bring a torrent of violent blades though." Now it was Walker's turn to cbe confused. He knew that Ventus would not go out of her way to cause trouble, but if the true wind sage believed this would happen, then there must be a reason.

Then a single thought struck him. One they made a little more sense now. "You're talking about the fact that the dominator dragons that grow within the elemental planes remain in a specific territory as balances to the planes themselves. Anchors. While the other dragons grow to take a path where they use the manas around them to survive. Therefore, they can not leave their planes for long and can not cause much trouble."

"So you do understand the wind. You understand that a battle between a dominator dragon, even as young as this child is, would cause some issues." Ventus blinked in surprise. She was a child? She was much older than some of the other dragons, yet she could still be called a child?

"What if I guaranteed that I could not anchor myself whatsoever within the elemental planes. That way I would not be a threat to any other dragon?" Ventus spoke up, this time with some clear worry in her tone.

"I wish to see the wind dragons who have been separated from the world where we lived. That didn't have a home to return to and could not come see those of us that remained. I wish to know their struggles. I wish to understand their flow."

"And what are you proposing? Can you lock away your very mana and strength? Remain in that form and be considered prey below all other dragons and races within the elemental planes while I have those who serve me lead you around?" Now the true wind sage looked like he was playing a game.

There was a slightly lax tone in his voice that basically threw the facts that ventus would have to be a weakling at her. Something that would enrage just about any dragon. Something that would make them wish that they could give in to their furry upon being insulted. It wasn't just her being insulted, but the entire wind dragon race, no, the entire dragon race.

"There are a few people who deal in curses within Genesis, I can have five of them come together to curse me and force me to be in this from for a certain time. It would be a risk, but one well worth the reward." her breath was calm while she looked at the true wind sage with sharp eyes.

"I am the royal wind dominator dragon of the world. I stand for both my family and the dragon race. I also represent Genesis as a key representative of races. I am willing to make myself appear to be nothing but the weakest worm if that ensures I can bring back the smallest wisdom to ensure that my people and those I protect have a better future. Even if that means I lose myself in the process."

Looking at Ventus, Walker realized she was willing to bet a lot on this. Her chances of seeing her children could be slim if she were to go somewhere dangerous. But he also sensed that she had made this decision with a greater amount of thought than just what she had shown him before. It was something she had decided right down to the depths of her soul.

"A calm breeze through and through. I will take you personally after you have your curses in place. For now, remain close to me while I tour this home you have built. I enjoy the calm breeze more than the slicing winds of a tornado." A slight wink made Walker understand that the true wind sage was enjoying himself very much. They were playing in to his hands right now. It felt weird to say the least.

"There you have it, the angelic wind angels are here. They are some of the older in their group, they hold some value in history as those who have touched upon the true essence of their blood and how they awakened what others would have never learned." Part of Walker wanted to stay with the archivist angels and the angelic wind angels after this. He also wanted to ask about the wind devourer dragon that ventus might meet.

None of this mattered though. He was already moving back toward the elemental rune teleportation formation. Zephyr appeared to be speaking using higher amounts of mana with the true wind sage. From what he could gather, the two were sharing experiences. It made the true wind sage react and look at Walker over and over.

"You will introduce me to Gil as well. Regardless of his changes in race and strength, I have never imagined that a relationship with this being here and him could have come to be without his unique personality. He also has a closeness for natural winds rather than stormy winds. I enjoy that as well."

With a slight nod, Walker agreed. He knew that this would happen. He had just thought of it before the true wind sage had said something. But he wondered what would have happened if the grand water spirit had woken up properly and gone to speak with the true water sage. Not that it would happen as long as it rested with the sandman.

The same feeling hit them all as the true wind sage laughed. He enjoyed the space mana and the elemental manas teleporting them. Not that he needed it. Walker was sure that the mana he used to connect to his body stretched in to the world and followed many wind currents to get a better look at everything. His control of wind mana was immense.

Yet, he was being polite. He wasn't prying anywhere that Walker could sense. This was clearly a respectable side of the true wind sage since he was met with open arms and honesty. The fact that the true wind sage had mentioned liking the calm breezes and how he enjoyed the smooth wind rather than sharp wind was clearly a hint about how to keep him happy.

As they appeared within Genesis, Su was right there waiting still. However, there was a large group of wind mages, wind affinity beings, and others who had managed to sneak in here and there behind a line of guards. "This is way better than that old icy lady said she saw. She tried to hide herself, but I got a welcome like this." The true wind sage was laughing to himself while forming an even more dense body out of wind.

The aloof face he made while forming a flowing green coat and pants with a large hat was enough to make Walker wonder if he hadn't copied those from the crowd and instead copied a story about a fencer from a children's story book. A man that used wind mana along with a faster than storm blades fencing technique.

That was a story for another time. Right now, Walker waved for Su to come over.
