Chapter 2262: 2262. Odd Wyverns
"Oh, so now you show your age and that you can take another form. You just needed to be away from a queen?" Current's tone wasn't as mocking as the phrase was, however, the water wyvern king was not bothering with it.
"If you actually came here, you must understand the position your people are in and what we have to offer. Regardless of your pride. That was what it was like for dragons too. Now we are relied on as some of the most powerful within this alliance and city. We have our own territories."
"You and your people would live within my water dragon territory. There is space, but that's just the truth of the matter." There was a slight feeling that Current wasn't being respected, however, he also felt that the water wyvern king before him didn't want to admit all of this right then and there.
"Just follow me. The lake we made is connected to every single waterway and even the nearby river was connected to it all for transportation. You saw the boats, they are an important part of what makes everything run around here. But they had larger ones.. Ships the size of your true form, if not bigger. They are also made of metal but still float and carry dangerous weapons."
Since Current couldn't just get the water wyvern king to speak with his doubts, Current was showcasing the strength that Genesisis possessed. He wanted to see if that was what could make the wyvern with him finally speak up. Or at least give some form of response at all.
"I assume Su told you and the sky wyvern queen these things. She is honest, but she could defeat you and every wyvern you have with behind you. She wouldn't do that though. She has the power and choses to wield it only for protection. She would be protecting you too." to Current, this felt like a dangerously slow flow of conversation.
"Territory is pointless. Even with a great deal your people can die when hunted. Have the dragons ever been hunted and watched their queen perish? Have your eggs been smashed within the nest leaving you without children for years? Would you blindly trust anyone or anything even if your instincts told you to do so? What if they were close to the earth wyverns whom you have fought in the past?"
Current took a deep breath while looking at the water wyvern king. He and the others had assumed there was trouble between the wyverns. They were a more violent species of monster before they had become a proper race. Especially the earth wyverns who had been much higher in numbers and safe places to live within mountains.
While he wanted to judge them, Current understood that if the dragons were not brought together by a nature dragon in the past, they would most likely have become much more separated. They had been on that path before a nature dragon appeared to unite them and create a joint record.
The potential for endless dragon villages fighting one another without mercy or care for whatever else was around was there. It had a pretty grave consequence too since the ancient monsters had done similar things. They had battled and killed whenever they could. This caused plenty of them not to exist any longer in today's world.
"While I wish to reprimand you, I will not. Your past against whatever earth wyverns that you battled or did not offer a safe haven for the sky wyverns is a past that you must learn to overcome. The sky wyvern queen is clearly looking for a way to survive in the long term. You, may want to try to understand why she desires that over other options here."
"Dragon? I'm the water wyvern king. We are better and can fight more than a dragon. You should see how fast we swim too. Way better." the water wyvern king spoke and reached out a hand. Current was completely taken aback by this.
Where had the cold and frosty personality gone? Where had the irritated and angry words of the water wyvern king gone?
"King? Where's the queen then. There's always a queen. Or are you looking for a princess to make a queen?" The small child was curious, and completely blunt. It was just what children
did.
"Hmm, queen, she was strong and very powerful when she reigned over the islands filled with turtles and sharks. But she moved on from the world after a battle. You can be my princess for the day. The water wyverns have never had a princess. I know what one is though, a king should be educated you know, even reading angel's books became easy once I looked at them long enough."
Current was again shaken. This water wyvern king had clearly learned more as a monster than he let on. But his emotions were swaying him as a monster and as a recognized race. Now, more like he buried intelligence and who he was to ensure he was a powerhouse for his people, even as they dwindled in number.
"That little demon is a boy, he would be a prince for a day. And I would say, these four are more interested in you than me right now. The earth wyverns do not come out much, so, you would be the first wyvern many people meet within Genesis." Current's voice was soft. He didn't let himself see the water wyvern king as he had before.
The price this king had paid to be what was needed by the others was clearly steeper than what Current had recognized. "We'll show you the market! They have forest elf chocolates for sale today!" The water wyvern king had no chance to understand what that even was, nor to rebuke Current. Just time to be pulled along in this strange place and strange life.
