Chapter 1031 - 1031. Crumbling Coral



Su had remained steady with her desire to help the injured, For the battle healers she was basically one of them just without the healing skills. But since Su had learned what was needed for certain injuries they had the perfect supporter for them. Su also still had a lot of energy. It wasn\'t because she had not given the battle her all, it came down to her pure mental strength. 

This left Adair and Midnight who were heading in to the merfolk city with Walker. "These walls will need to be remade. But that shouldn\'t be any issue for the mages here." Adair pinched part of the coral wall and watched as it crumbled. The kraken spawn had feasted on the living corals which caused them to perish. Therefore, the wall was crumbling away and would need a lot of new growth. 

"I know the walls can be remade, I\'m more worried about the `homes." The gate was barely even a gate anymore. As they swam through they could see the damaged row of market shops and storage buildings. Here and there were some bones from food stores and even some broken shells from the living clams brought in for food. "It looks like the golems bypassed this area and went right to the homes. I wonder if they will stay to clean this." 

Walker was more speaking his thoughts out loud while walking through the broken market than anything. His head was on a swivel since he knew there could be some danger still hiding away in the city. But this wasn\'t looking to be an issue. Manby merfolk had already combed through the market since it was the first place they entered their city. The coral bunkers were close to the towers where the homes were. 

"I was just coming to find you. My father would like to speak with you and your.. Fellow dragons." Leon was not sure if this was the proper way to put it and had hesitated for a moment. 

"Yes, lord Walker is a fellow dragon. He is a royal dragon to be specific. I am an elder, Adair, I will receive the rouge pearl on behalf of my lord. Show us the way." Adair had changed her attitude as soon as Leon came over. She was a lot less relaxed and was acting the way a dragon was expected to. As much as Walker wanted to just remain relaxed he knew that he now held a responsibility to do the same as Adair to a degree. 

Midnight was surprisingly silent to the point that Walker was looking behind him in worry that she had wandered off. But he found that she was carefully examining the broken buildings. It appeared that she was taking what Scylla had said to an even heavier degree. She wanted to help Scylla just as much as Walker did but she had given it her undivided attention since Walker needed to handle other things as well. 

It was not long before Leon had brought them through the market and to one of the fallen coral towers. "This is one of the entrances to the coral bunkers underneath the sand. It may not be the most luxurious place in the world, but it is safe and where we will be operating from until the city has been better repaired." This made sense since it was the safest place for the merfolk to be until they were able to repair what had been broken and put their own patrols back in to place. 

The small surprise was that there were perfect stairs carved out of coral when the merfolk could swim. It was clear that the passageways had been made with potential guests in mind. This was a small fact that made the merfolk even more welcoming to other races. It was also why some merchants would go out of their way to come to the city and deal with them directly. 

The walls around them eventually expanded in to a large chamber where many merfolk were set up. Some had made bedding areas and others had set up close to the ceiling to sleep. But in the center was a vibrant coral throne with some of the few pieces of living coral shining brightly. 

"Welcome to the city of Trident. I wish it was in better condition. You have aided my people in the rescue efforts we desperately needed. I have taken the items as rewards which you have requested from our city vaults." King Aaron motioned and two boxes were brought to Walker and Adair, one each. Walker stored it away while Adair took it in her hand. 

"It will take some time for us to rebuild but you will have the merfolk people\'s support in your Genesis city effort. We can only attempt to bring more value to the new alliance that has shown just how important it will be to the world." These words affirmed everything that Walker wanted the Genesis alliance to be.
