Master Of None

The waters were soon filled with the merfolk and the tamer's aquatic tamed monsters. They were meeting one another to incorporate in to different mixed forces. They had to find the best places for everyone to be so that the ships would be balanced. Leon found this task just as arduous as it sounded.

"I thought this would help a little morale. We even brought more food with us." Elise seemed a little apologetic now that she realized she was causing some trouble for everyone.

"No, we are glad you are here. We just didn't expect to have more troops. I actually prefer that there are more people to face some of the problems we might have in the ocean. We also need people to guard the ships when we are on the new continent. There aren't any promises that there will be a port city to protect them." This was a very true fact.

Since no one had ever been and returned to their homes after attempting to make it to another continent then it was only right that it was a mystery. The only things they had to go on were ancient records that were certainly different.

However, that presented a good potential. Monsters that they had never seen before. Resources that they might be able to bring back that were unique to another continent. And even more, another race that could be their newest and greatest allies. So many potentials and all they had to do was cross the endless blue of the ocean.

"Well, the harpies came along to act as map makers and scouts. They can also get places faster than we can and potentially deliver messages to settlements there." Since Elise had thought this through, Walker had no issue with it. The harpies would be taking on a dangerous role.

"We will only send them out if it is necessary. I don't want to send them to the unknown just to be attacked by a wyvern." The risks were clear to Walker. But he also had to ensure that they would be making it safely back.

"The harpy queen understood that there was a chance that some of her harpies might not return. That was why Stella and I had to come too. Not just for the tamer's guild's sake. We made a promise to be by their side even when the worst happens." Elise had a resolute attitude. Whether this was the end of her days or the start of a new history she was committed to.

"When we are on the same page about everyone here. I plan to stick with them no matter what. Even if we all have to split up to explore or speak to those on the continent. We will be returning together if we can manage. Maybe we will even bring a few people back with us." There was a potential to make allies instead of enemies. Just because they were so far away didn't mean the people of this continent would be ignored.

While the forces that Elise had brought were organized, Walker began to recognize some of the tamers. A few were demons that had been taken in by the tamer's guild. Even a few more were elves that had branched out after leaving the forest elf village. It seemed that those that had come were familiar with the party more so than anyone else.

"And here they come. The last ship!" Elise was not surprised. There were harpies and tamers on the last ship as well. But even more, there were plenty more humans. That was the final surprise. Additional support from King Augustus was sent their way. They had been sent to march to genesis and Walker had missed it. But he was full of pride to see familiar faces from the home city of Diamond he had grown up in.

Not everyone had come to Genesis. Many had stayed where they were raised or stayed to protect their families who preferred Diamond. The main difference between the ships that had arrived and the last one was the atmosphere. This final ship was full of sea shanties being sung and bigger smiles than anything. They had brought everyone that had the smallest knowledge of sailing to assist along with those that wanted to repay the favors of those in Genesis.

"Final bridge going down! We leave at daylight!" The orders were out and the final preparations were underway. From here the sailors, troops, and other staff would be divided between ships. The golem ship would be the head of the group while traveling due to its unique development. But every ship would be kept up to par to maintain speed and efficiency.

"Excuse me!" The man in full armor that approached Walker and Elise was unfamiliar to Walker. But he seemed to know Walker. "Under the great king August, I have come to report to the hero leading this excursion to new lands. The king sends his hopes and well wishes that you sent to him for the birth of his daughter." This was good news since Walker had been worried that the king would be too caught up with being a father to worry about such things.

"The king has instructed myself, James F. Rein, to take control of the newly assembled continent exploration platoon and come here. We are at your disposal and will guarantee a fight to the death if need be to save even a single life." This promise was from a true knight. Walker could see the markings on the man's armor. He was a knight for good reason. He had both the merit and the system to prove it.

"I look forward to working beside you. Report to General Scylla and General Leon. they are organizing the troops now. Your platoon will be split in to groups of four or five to defend every ship. Learn, listen, and be ready to face mysteries. We will be the first to see things that no one has ever seen." Walker used his highest professional response. His energy matched James's and caused the man to grow more respect for the hero he had never met before. He had never even seen Walker. But after being called from his post for this quest, he was worried he would be coming head on against a rag tag bunch.

After seeing the shops and all of Genesis which seemed to have bloomed overnight, James had been filled with a great sense of awe. Now that he stood before so many different warriors of different races, the feeling could only grow. Many of the other human soldiers felt the same.

"It looks like things will become pretty busy. I will check in with Scylla and Leon. maybe I will find Onyx and Midnight later." Elise was slightly perturbed because she wanted to see how much the two had grown. But she had duties and they were calling. Her tamers had to be organized and it was best that she instated team leaders for the split groups. It would be easier for the chain of command and respect for those captaining the ships.

After he saw that Elise had gone to meet Leon and Scylla who were organizing the soldiers, Walker looked around and saw that a few changes were already being made to the ships. There were parts of metal and other deterrent pieces being set up along the railings and the sides of the ship.

These thin metal curtains had spikes that would prevent anyone who didn't know about them from climbing aboard the ships. The merfolk and demi-humans would be fine, but monsters would find themselves injured immediately. It was a small way to keep people safe but very smart. Walker felt that he would have never considered this while building a ship. It just went to show what an experienced sailor had to contribute.

Other things being done were simpler. The mana gems were being set up to absorb more mana so that they were at perfect capacity. The forges were being stoked to provide better flow of heat and mana to the ship. Some of the alchemists were getting the seawater they could convert to freshwater stocked up as well so that there would be no dehydrated sailors. They also needed the water for brewing potions.

Most notable were the royal dragons that had finally come together after just going their separate ways. The focus seemed to be on Terron who had his dragonkin remaining on one ship so that they could protect him. Since he would be far from the land, he would need extras protection. Overall, things looked to be coming together in fine fashion. The ships would be more than ready to leave the shoreline and make the long journey across the open ocean to a new continent.
