Master Of None

Chapter  2126. Exploring Decision

"So you want to just up and leave on an adventure because you think you need to travel there to awaken a skill? That's all?" Out of everyone to be reprimanding him, it was Su who had taken the lead when Walker had said this in front of the entire party at the dinner table.

He had called them all there to speak to them about the future.

His goal was to figure out just what the origin race was. What he was. He had to unlock the skills that came with that so he had to go to the elemental planes. He even knew that the origin race had traveled there. So, if he wanted to learn more, then he would need to take that risk.

"Su, he has a lot here too. But he isn't leaving forever. Just for a little while. The royal dragons are going to the elemental planes. So will I. I have to." Remey was a little more soft spoken than normal. It was the fact that she had no choice but to venture to the fire elemental plane.

"But you do not have a choice. You need to go there for your health. We understand that. But if Walker goes there  just to search for this race that advanced beyond the others here… well, he might not come black after chasing them." Gil voiced his honest fear.

But this was the same for everyone. They all feared that they would be split up somehow. That they would be separated and never see one another again. The elemental planes were unknown and definitely vast. There was a chance that one could explore them for a lifetime. If not more.

"I need to go there for more than that." Walker was adamant. He believed that there were many reasons to explore the elemental planes.

"Their world, so to speak, had been different from ours. We were cut off from them for who knows how many hundreds if not thousands of years. Now that we are connected, to them, we should go there. They will be coming here."

This was a very real potential. The races or beings that levied within the elemental planes would surely venture outside now that the bridges between the world and the elemental planes had been rebuilt. Now that the proper mana flow had returned.

If the theory that some people had started to believe was correct, then the world was the middle ground for all the elemental planes. The place where every race or being from the planes could come together in unison. In equality. Therefore, making sure that those from the world understood the elemental planes was important.

"If we wish to understand everything about the universe and existence, we have to take that risk. If we were to ignore it and a threat appeared, we can't live up to what it means to be a hero. I assume there will be rulers of each elemental plane. There has to be, whether it be dragons or elemental spirits, something. We have to ensure that the effort we put together to unite all these races is upheld." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This was the more pressing reason to go to the elemental planes.

Since there were many races that might exist within the elemental planes that were not represented within Genesis, someone had to recruit them. Someone had to find the representatives and form an alliance with them. It could lead to wars if it was not done.

Beyond that, there could be other issues that stemmed from a lack of understanding. If humans had not remembered their wrongs with the elves, then they could be at war right now. They had lacked understanding and some evil humans had done very bad things in the past. Right now, things had been made anew between their races.

"Whatever races are out there will be unknown to us. They could also be dangerous. We know that some monster races are necessarily ready to be races. The world used to tell us who were races and who were not. But the universe or existence that the world is just a part of…" Su had her worried.

It was fair to worry about the fact that some beings might not be friendly. It would be harder to understand if something was a race or a monster in the elemental planes. Everything about it was foreign.

"I will go too." Midnight finally spoke up. Her feelings were the same as Walker's. However, when everyone looked at her, she held their gaze intending to speak again. "I want to see ancient dragons."

This meant a lot. Midnight had focused on her growth and her relationship with the party as family, she had been learning more and more from the royal dragons as time went on. So much so that it was a wonder how she still had time to spend with them.

But where Midnight's new goals were when it came to her future and feelings, were in the discovery of dragons. The ancient dragons were part of her history. Yes, through her life she had been bonded with Walker and family to the entire party. But she had begun learning from the royal dragons about their history. About so much more.

When it came to the elder, she had learned that the dragon history was somehow broken. They had knowledge from when they had created villages and places for dragon kind and dragonkin to exist together. But, they lacked the information about what came before that. When the dominator dragons had been able to move to the elemental planes.

This had been possible once upon a time when the manas around everywhere were chaotic. When ancient monsters roamed the earth as it was still forming. Everyone knew this. They understood that aspect of history due to the ancient ruins that were present.,

Naturally, it had left Midnight with a lot to be desired. She felt that there was so much more. Things that the dragons never mentioned. Who were the first dragons? How had the entire race come to be?

When it came to the abyssal and heavenly serpents. Onyx was searching for the same answers. "Brothers, sisters. I wish to travel to them as well. I will reclaim the history of my race so that I can act as a proper patriarch to the abyssal and heavenly serpents. Aurora will also be coming along with me."

There were many reasons that Onyx would want this. He had managed to learn very much about his race even though so many ancient records had been needed to do so. As this was the case, he had managed to learn that the ancient abyssal and heavenly serpents had not lived within the world almost ever. Only when they were younger.

When they reached age, they would pull open the barriers between the light elemental plane and the world to travel there. They had the innate ability at a certain age to be able to achieve this. That was how they were able to continue their growth since they primarily lived off of light mana.

In turn, it meant that almost every single abyssal serpent would want to travel to the light elemental plane at some point. An important step for them. But it also meant that Onyx might encounter those that were his race but much stronger. Much older.

If that was the case, he would learn about his history, but he might also lose the position as patriarch who had brought back his race from the edge of the end. Or maybe, there was more to it. His race might not come to the world any more because of their mana requirements. He might have to remain as an elder of sorts.

This additional worry just added on to everything.

It made sense though. They all had many reasons for going to the elemental planes. The only ones without much reason to go were Su and Gil since they had no attachment to the elemental planes that called them there.

"You'll come too?" Midnight looked at Su, her face was curious. She knew that Su was her draconic champion. The one bonded with her to defend her.

"Well, if we are going together again. I might as well learn about the dragons too." She gave in easily.

"Brother Gil, it is up to you." Onyx filled Midnight's lead.

"It seems like I have no choice. But there are things I need to know first. Does time move the same there? Will I lose my time with Alma and the elves if I go? Can we get home if we go?"

This wasn't fear that spoke purely. Gil had a duty to the elves and a responsibility to the person he loved. He refused to let them all down.

"I'll get those answers for you." Walker made the promise and started to plan how he would do just that.
