Master Of None

Chapter 538 - 538. Celebrating

The events of the world went unnoticed by the party. They were caught up in the celebration the forest elves had begun. There was music that filled the streets along with many of their traditional dances. Food was freely brought from every corner and shared among them. "I haven't seen this kind of celebration since last year's eclipse celebration." Wade was sitting at a table with the party and rulers, enjoying the festivities. 

"You should all visit again during the next eclipse. I will be part of the ceremony as I follow my duty as a future queen. It will be a sight to see." Alma had taken a seat next to Gil which kept Gil a little more silent and red faced than usual. Remey had tried to make fun of him but had been dragged away by Midnight and Su to try every possible sweet they could. 

Onyx had curled himself around a high light elemental crystal and was resting. He had been highly focused on the entire process and was mentally exhausted. This was one reason that Walker had not pushed for the party to leave immediately. If they had he could not guarantee that they would all be able to properly travel to the dwarven kingdom. Not to mention over the course of the weeks it would take. 

"I expect that you will all be leaving in the morning?" Alma had raised the question slowly. She didn't want to see those that had supported her leaving so soon. That and she couldn't help but want to go with them and continue to see the amazing things they caused with every step. Unfortunately, she was bound to the city and would need to uphold her responsibility. 

"Yes, we need to head to the dwarven kingdom to see how they are fairing with the yellow slimes. I have a feeling that they are dealing this the same problems as your city was." Walker had been worrying about how bad this problem may be getting and how much worse it would get while they traveled there. 

Alma looked a little sad at this but knew that it was better to help those in need and did not push them to stay. "I think we will be visiting here again. But it would be even better to see you all in the new city. I think that will be the best place for any future leader or representative. Plenty of things to learn." Gil wanted to make sure that he would see Alma again but also made it about seeing everyone again. 

"Hey Walker, want to take a walk around? I am sure you want to say a few things to the others before you leave in the morning." Wade had read in to the situation unfolding in front of them and decided it was best to let Gil and Alma alone to speak. He also wanted to make sure he had plenty of things he could tease her about later since they were their own party. 

"Sure, I want to make sure I say goodbye and allow for the queen and kings to give me some last minute advice on what to do when we arrive in the dwarven kingdom." Walker was a little worried about these things but knew that he could use some heads up on what he would need to do and act like there. 

The two stood and moved toward the table center where the three rulers were speaking freely. They had been sharing their woes as rulers and also bragging about their kingdoms equally. It was rare for them to be able to relax in such a way and wanted to do so before they needed to return and bolster their strength towards the new endeavors. 

"Ah, come to see me again? I thought that you would be rushing away or resting after all these deliberations. I am glad you have some fight in you yet." King Rorick was glad to see one of those he had seen battle before and enjoyed. 

"I will plan to visit the demi-human kingdom again, but I am not sure when that would be. It sounds like I will sooner see you in the city of Genesis." Walker smirked as he said this. The city was definitely going to be built faster than he was estimating due to the joint effort of all three kingdoms. 

"You should see us there. When the main structures are built I will attend and make sure things are progressing smoothly. It will also hold as the main summit for the other kingdoms' ambassadors." The queen had already decided this with the other two. She was looking forward to standing in line with her fellow rulers and show off their joint effort. 

"Yes, a meeting such as that will require the heroes that have spent their time and hard work to assist in the citys' creation. It will also give you the chance to meet many other rulers and their representatives." King August was sure to add this so that Walker would know the gravity of being there. 

"I will be sure to plan that out. I believe we will end up there anyways. The city is going to be a place for people to thrive and we will all want to see it rise properly." Walker assured them that the party would be in attendance. "Now, my party will be leaving in the morning for the dwarven kingdom. We are sure that they will need assistance with the slimes that plague them. I also want more information on the slime breeder most likely causing their issue as well." 

The reasons did not escape Walker as he spoke his planned leave. "Then as the three rulers of the Genesis alliance, we issue this quest. Investigate the danger of the yellow slimes to the dwarven kingdom and take our greetings to the dwarven kings." The elf queen said this with affirmation from the other two.
