ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom The moment that Terron placed a hand on the ceiling of the cave he had expanded, everyone was silent. They knew that he was using his exceptional control of earth mana to sense where and what might be above.
As his face showed different emotions, Walker also placed a hand on the wall next to him. He was able to use his own understanding of earth elemental mana to feel the same things that Terron was doing.
This would be foolish if he was going to add his own mana. However, Walker felt that it was best to learn something and just see what Terron might actually be doing to make him change his facial expressions so much. But when Walker felt the small flow of Terron's mana he could see that things were much different than he thought.
Above them, the ruins that everyone had been telling him were years and years old were surprisingly well kept. The earth and stone that had been carved out appeared to still be defined and carefully organized. Statues of dragons and other powerful monsters were outlined in the shapes of earth mana that Terron was seeing.
The fact that this we all so well upkept told many tales of what might have happened. Was it magic? Runes? Or was it the unlikely fact that the wyverns had been somehow keeping things proper here? Too many things were possible with such an ancient place. That was until Terron's mana found that the earth had been carved out in certain places to expand the ruins.
They were poorly made areas set up to mimic the ruins. Places that were made to house eggs, sleep in, and also to store food. It was as if the wyverns had begun carving their own history to copy what they had seen. If that was the case, why would they attempt to break away from the dragon bloodline? It was something that Terron had clearly understood and become torn about.
It was bad that the wyverns didn't want to be the same as dragons. Dragons were powerful and the top of all. That was what their pride dictated. However, the wyverns clearly cared a lot about the dragon ruins they found. It was even kept so nice that it would be seen as worship in a way.
When Terron found the earth moving in places, he was able to sense the existence of six powerful wyverns slumbering in their own out caves. The stones oriented as if they were nests. Beyond that, the largest of spaces carved out had many more defined earth shapes cut from the mountain stone. This was where the mana seemed more erratic. As if the being there was causing the mana to be unsteady just by existing.
"There is a chamber where there is a powerful wyvern meditating. That would be the queen. I will be going forward to meet this wyvern queen." Terron had made up his mind. A monster with dragon blood that wanted to become their own race was a lot to handle. But one that could mediate the same way he did and understand the workings of earth mana to try and break away from the norm? It was extremely tempting and needed answers.
"Terron, I watched your mana and sensed the same things. I know it was rude but I think we will have to speak with the wyverns much more closely than before. Don't try and end them right away. I think there might be a little confusion in how they have grown from here." Walker also sensed that things might be different than how the angels perceived things.
"If you want to just walk in and treat them like they are anything but monsters…" Seran had a moment of anger. He knew too well what damage wyverns caused. To pretend it didn't happen was already an insult.
"Distract the wyverns that wake up when we get inside. That's all you need to do. We will be solving this problem today." Walker's steeled words made Seran remember the strength that the elemental spirits had over elemental mana. Along with the simple fact that Walker could also manipulate mana that no angel could. It was just the slight flutter of Walker's mana when Seran had shown hostility just now, but it was enough to make Seran take a pause.
"Good, now we move." The groups had already been selected as Terron and Walker had taken a careful look. Tunneling up in to the ruins was not something that could be hidden. The cave could be made but the ruins themselves had harder stone made by dragons and tread on for years and years, it would take Terron some effort to break in.
"Just do it and we can repair what's broken later." Walker made this problem and glanced at the earth mages. Terron gave a nod and the tension in the air grew. Every single dragon and soldier knew this was the moment things were serious.
The second that the earth shifted and the opening appeared, the crack of stone proved that the stones that had been laid to create the floor of the ruins were shattered immediately. The earth that rose beneath their feet pushed everyone up. It was followed by the thuds of wyverns awakening and their angered roars.
'Adult earth wyvern
This adult earth wyvern is normally able to live for days and days without food. They will absorb earth elemental energy to strengthen their scales and bones then slumber for a longer time to adapt. When woken up they are instantly enraged. However, they are able to calm themselves by attacking and releasing some pent up anger.
They have spiky protrusions of bones that angle back so that they can use their heads as weapons against their enemies. This is clear in the way that they will swing their bodies causing blunt force damage. When they breathe in deeply, they are capable of releasing a fear enduring screech due to the small stones that will lodge in their throats over time as they consume some earth. This does not harm them due to their higher earth affinity.
There are often weaker points on their joints since they had skinnier legs and arms. Their tails are either spiked or smooth like whips. This depends on their male or female orientation. The bone spikes on their elbow are also a method of attacking similar to the bones on their wings. It is safe to avoid them at all costs…'
Walker could read more and more information. The all around appraisal showed such in depth information that he was sure that the record he wrote later would be one of the most detailed accounts of wyverns written in years. But priding himself on the all around appraisal skill would need to come later.
"Together!" Seran yelled and sent his teams ahead. The soldiers followed as they saw the massive wyvern ahead. Without hesitation, multiple skills and buffs were used. Some confused the first adult wyvern to charge at them while the others were boosting the speed and defenses of the soldiers.
"We are moving forward." Walker pushed ahead ignoring the first wyvern. The group in charge of distracting it was already taking all of its attention while they pushed out of the ruins toward the open cliff. Their goal was to lure it further away using their ability to fly.
The rumbling of the ruins were increasing. Walker had not realized the massive size of the ruins from underneath but now felt that he was in a giant's world. Even the dragons of this era were small compared to what the dragons used to be. It would be a massive learning point for the dragons and every single race that did not know enough about the ancient times of this world.
"Stop, they are coming." Terron had a closer sense of what the wyverns were doing. He felt them rushing toward them and stopped so that everyone could prepare their skills.
"We can roar together. Midnight, come here." Walker saw the other dragons glance at him and begin to take in deep breaths. Their combined roars would be enough to shake every single inch of the ruins and dug out caverns. That way the wyverns would be shaken by the power behind the dragons.
Feeling that it was better to remain in their dragonkin forms, the dragons felt tied down. But they also understood that doing so brought them to the wyvern queen faster. To put them in front of someone that might be their toughest fight in many generations. "Now!" Onyx used his skills to send the signal to the dragons and the others. The soldiers with them held their ears while the roar was released.
