Chapter 1136 – 1136. Alma’s Presence

"Is that a sage?" 

"How many years has it been since a sage came here?"

"If a sage came to rescue us it must mean the world is changing."

The elders fell in to debate. "I am not a real sage yet. Just a young sage. But that is not why I am here. I came looking for your people to join in the Genesis alliance and found a way to sneak in here. Lust had taken control and we freed you. Everyone I brought did not come for no reason and we did not free you for no reason. We just did our best to right a wrong we saw before our eyes. If you need to thank someone, then thank all of us. Dragon, dragonkin, forest elf, human, merfolk. All of us." Walker made his point clear. He would not be the only one thanked for this. It was the very essence of Genesis that brought all of them together.

The water elf elders stood in silence. Walker could see their scuffed and faded blue robes along with their unkempt hair. He knew that it would take some time for them to regain their pride. Their entire people had been abused. "The forest elves survived this time as well? Are you not isolated like we were?" This was one of the surprising things that the water elves were hearing. It had been many years since the elves became reclusive compared to the other races. Even they had a hard time contacting other elves. 

"Not since a few heroes visited and helped exterminate some problem monsters. Now I am the future queen and will stand for my people and those of Genesis. No more hiding. All the elves will come together. It\'s just a matter of when." Alma stood tall as she spoke. There was a profound aura around her while she said every single word. It wasn\'t that the words were overall powerful, but the fact that her mana was imbued within them. 

It was clear for Gil and Walker to see the flinch in surprise as Alma noticed her words were more than what she intended. It was even followed by her eyes widening slightly while she finally saw the quests she had. It was nothing she expected and changed everything she was pursuing. But for her, it made more sense. It was something she had been pushing for in the forest elf city that the party had backed. Now she just had a clearer picture of what path her actions put her on. 

Gil and Walker held their tongue while Alma kept her stance. She had made her announcement and it had made the water elves realize that Genesis was not some small movement and that they had been rescued by those who drove the future. Genesis was recognized by dragons, sages, rulers, and many more. The water elves still held some ideals from before Lust came to cause them strife, but now they were a completely different people. 

Through their poisoning, those in the dungeons learned to accept the demons who were no different from them. The elders, although controlled, had worked closely with demons and half demons. Now, their perspectives on purity and attempts to return to being high elves changed. "We will follow your lead. We have no king or queen any longer…that monster changed that before we even knew it. A new start and a new home would be welcome for some of the younger generation." The elders finally spoke up again after silence. They needed to accept the changes and push on toward a new future. 

"Then we will do just that. Genesis welcomes all and that is the biggest value we have. It may seem painful, but the half elf half demons here will be the greatest boon for Genesis to band together to free the demons from their oppressors. We will rely on you after we rebuild your home." Alma\'s tone became kind and warm. The entire room felt as if it became lighter. Walker made a note to mention this to Alma later but for now, it felt better to step back and see what he could do around the lakes. He was sure that there would be a lot of things that needed cleaning up. 

"If you are heading out I will go with you. I want to get a feel for the water elves and how they live. A few already headed out to try and salvage what they could. I saw a water elf mage trying to search for books and his staff." Gil made sure that Walker would be able to return the books he found. They would help the water elves greatly.
