The events that followed were exactly as what everyone would expect. Many of those that had finished what they were doing in the coliseum left to prepare. It wasn't that they had to make any more items or tasks finished for the ceremony. They had to rest so that they could witness it.
Regardless of Gil being a hero and Alma being the future elf queen, this was an event truly stabilizing the relationship of elves and humans within genesis. It was also a show that there would always be unity within the races.
Many of the elves had been very against humans and other races in general. The elves had even denied other races from nearing the forests where they lived for generations of other races.
This had been both to protect the forest and also so that the elves could be safe. Their isolation had come from their separation and beliefs differing from other elves that had gone elsewhere over the years. Furthermore, it had been caused by relationships being disrespected on both sides.
Now, this was a time when all of those negative events and emotions were being washed away and replaced with bright new futures. Because this was the case, there was a greater chance that more events like this would happen.
Especially now that the high elven ceremonies and rituals were being shared to the other elves. Specifically because Gil was making sure that there would be those same things in his own marriage ceremony. Not that much was actually different.
The additional events of elves arriving that would not be living within Genesis was also becoming very permanent. They had all mostly never been outside their own villages, cities, and territories. Especially the ice elves who were struggling to adapt the most.
This caused many of the ice mages and water mages to help here and there. A small boom happened in the market regarding sales of specific materials and items. Mostly those that regulated manas or temperatures.
Some of the fire elf elders had already managed to set up home while others had brought themselves to be able to rebuild a small village. They wanted to live closer to the flames. Therefore, they were shocked hearing that an entire elemental mana rune formation was being made.
The details were shared because of the dragons and their small villages. But the elves saw this as a way for the more sensitive members to have a place to stay. They could rest along the edges of the smaller dragon villages that would be denser in manas that they were accustomed to.
While the generations had changed the elves and they now relied on singular affinities, that did not mean that they lacked multiple affinities. Many elves were similar to the forest elves who had varying elves with multiple affinities. It was just more often that they were of fire or ice affinity because of environments over the generations. This was the same for the dark elves and earth elves who were more than likely to be dual affinity elves. An interesting piece of history for sure.
These events and arrivals made Genesis become very busy in the night and evening. So much so that some merchants did not even intend to close shop until the wedding ceremony happened. This was because the elves and many of the people within genesis had already decided that this would be a holiday for the elven race.
The idea was that this would be the cementing day that the elves united in presence and spirituality. It was an idea that the elves had pushed for themselves. Not the elders, but the elves that had been the first to genesis. They wanted a day every year to celebrate their arrival within genesis.
Walker knew this would happen with every race, therefore, he just watched and listened before he realized he would be trapped in meetings to write it all down at some point with other representatives. He realized that equality meant a lot of talking and paperwork.
What had truly kept Walker up at night though, was the sudden growth in darkness mana density.
The shadows around genesis had extended and a lot of the dark spirit race began to move around. The dark spirits were more nocturnal since they had made their bodies of darkness mana. It only made sense.
With Walker's sensitivity to manas now, he had realized that there was reason for all the changes. That he was expecting a visitor at any moment.
This visitor was clearly still adjusting to the newfound mana that they could control. Especially since they literally had a spirit race partner of their own that had become a recognized race and grown immensely within their own right.
"I waited for you here since I knew you would like the open air and the stars. I had a feeling you would prefer the view." Walker spoke allowed to the shadows while resting on his back looking up at the sky. No one would have noticed him up on the roof of their mansion if he didn't want them to.
The night was peaceful for the most part. Drifting sounds of joyous arrival and celebrations could be heard in the slight breeze. But Walker was focused on the mass of shadows that grew next to him.
"Well, I should have expected that you would await my return. We are friends at this point after all." Mordant looked much more humanoid. He even seemed to carry the darkness of darkness mana within his hair now. A striking change since he had had more scales than hair in his dragonkin from prior to his growth.
"I take it that the darkness dominator ruins were found well?" There had been some worry. Walker knew that Mordant had held himself back for some time.
"Yes, they were lost within collapsed caves. I could omnyl move through the shadows to get to them. I believe that was intentional. A test left behind that tested my control for dark mana. But I was blessed to learn how to alter my body. I somewhat understand how Onyx is able to hide his true body within the shadows. I will need to teach him to protect himself while in that form. He could be harmed."
This was shocking news to Walker who thought that the shadows would be safe. "Do not worry, there are not any monsters I know of that can harm him. But I caught a glimpse of the darkness plane when I was changing. It is unlike what I realized."
When Mordant had seen through the shadows so to speak, he had understood the depths and distance between the world and the other planes of manas. The distance was great and filled with chaotic mana, but he had seen through it. The place where mana was purer and beings he did not understand lived. He also saw remnants of dragons who had attempted to get there. Otherwise, he did not know what else was there or not.
lightsnοvεl.cοm Sharing all of this with Walker was enough to rest his own mind before Walker shared the events of Genesis with Mordant. "Then I will arrive at the opportune time. I believe that a dragon tradition can be shared as well. A roar of elders at the finish of the ceremony to show the world the event."
"I heard of that from Ventus. It's normally because it shows that two dragon villages no longer fight and that a bond between two elders will be the core of their agreement to peace. But it still sounds like a very good idea. Maybe it will change the meaning a little here in Genesis." Walker laughed slightly after hearing this said out loud. He felt very light and happy with all of the day's events.
"Tomorrow will be a very big day. I should get some rest. I am glad you made it back and are going to be able to become stronger." Walker shared a knowing look with Mordant. He knew how much they all relied on one another with the upcoming war against the floating city and the corrupted undead. Not to mention the three remaining demons.
"I will rest in a while. I feel that the night is too lively to just sleep right now." Mordant didn't intend to go out and bother anyone. But he had truly taken a liking to walking the streets of a city. It just felt right when he did. He wouldn't be the only dragon to think that though. He had seen things that no other royal dragon had seen in their lifetime before him. He was always lingering on that fact and counting it as a blessing.
While he was technically at war, he felt it was just the necessary step to a better future. It was a step to a future he could keep seeing these new and amazing things. He liked that idea a lot.
