Chapter 1188 – 1188. Creeping Up On

"We are definitely a few hours away but I don\'t want to be caught tired and in the dark. Those last few rocks and hills were tough. It will be better to rest and clean up so we can look our best when we arrive. I can\'t feel any change in light elemental mana too so I would guess that there is a royal still not there yet." Since Walker had realized he was not fully focused on the mana around he had kept himself in check with it. Now he was careful about the density of which mana was in the air. 

From the looks of Midnight, she was ready to lay down and nap by the fire too. Walker could also tell that she was concerned that her scales would not be cleaned well enough to face the other dragons. It would be the first thing that he helped her with in the morning since he had brought the cloth to help her shine them to perfection. "Then we will be camping here. I will start to get a space cleared for the tent." Su took the job on to herself while Walker began to pull things out of his storage. Midnight had taken over the watch of the area so that the other two could work safely. 

Three was no underestimating that this place was dangerous. They all knew that the area was teeming with monsters and they were only as safe as they had been because they scared some off with the roar from earlier. Furthermore, the scent of dragon was a major deterrence since the monsters did know the danger of dragons. It was very common for a dragon to come through and defeat anything within its path because it was showing off the dominance of its race. 

Therefore, when Midnight saw an older looking mountain cat leaving quickly and quietly she did not overreact and call out to Walker and Su. it made sense that it would be running away. Plus, she didn\'t feel like fighting at the moment. She was tired from climbing. As much as she had energy to eat and play around, she had been using her claws to dig in to the stone and keep a good grip while climbing some tough parts of the mountain. 

"Midnight, we aren\'t starting a fire tonight. We are sticking with what we already have made." Since Walker wanted to be sure that they could rest through the night, he was not going to be starting a fire. The chances of attracting something with any food cooking were too high and they needed the rest to be ready to show off the next day. The dragons would expect the best.

"Are you really polishing up the bracelets again?" Su wasn\'t sure what Walker was so worried about. The wandering blacksmith had already final polished the pure elemental dwelling circlets before they had received them. 

"I just want to be sure they are partially filled with mana and ready for them to see. I can\'t say that I\'m not a little worried that they will take us as nothing more than some small humans at first. I want this to be the first thing they see when they think of Genesis. High quality, perfect craftsmanship, and three representatives that know how to handle themselves." Walker had started to imagine the first interaction even though he didn\'t know what would really be at the royal dragon court. 

"They are fine. Let\'s just set up for the night. You already started to clean out nicer armor and clothes for tomorrow anyways." Su made sure to keep Walker balanced and out of his own head. She had really felt that he was going to get out of hand if she didn\'t make sure she watched him. But he was also watching her and had managed to keep water around while they walked all day for whenever she or Midnight needed it. He had started to pay much more attention than usual. It was even better that she was seeing him use the all around appraisal skill more often. 

"Come on Midnight, it\'s time to eat…" Walker called out for Midnight but found that she was not running toward them as much as possible. Instead\' he was greeted by the sight of brilliant golden flame breath. "Move!" 

Walker shouted while he started to form a flame bolt with the eternal orb staff from. Su pushed forward with the twin shields in hand ready to block. Midnight had been checking out the area around them and found that she was not alone. She also found that the mountain cat she had seen running away was on the ground in much worse shape than it had been. There was an enemy around and she needed to let Walker and Su know. 

As soon as she had found the defeated mountain cat she had zeroed in on the dark scaled shape moving through the darkness. It was not something she would have easily picked out without knowing something was around. Her warning couldn\'t come in the form of a roar or growl. She had to use her skills to her advantage and inhaled a deep breath. When she released the flames she was most used to because of her golden flame heart, it signaled Walker and Su perfectly.
