"My name is Ebon. I am the youngest quad elemental mage of the Rize empire. I can use water, wire, wind, and earth. It is the very reason why I have studied every single elemental hall but for light and darkness. I will be representing the angels within our alliance." The young angel was wearing colors to match his affinities. It seemed to be more traditional clothing than anything.
Ebon's demeanor was one of confidence. But it was clear that he had been raised very carefully to hold the superiority of the elemental mana higher than others. Especially since his eyes would dart to the Fel empire angels with a slight disdain. But that was fine, he was tongue and his opinions would change with time.
"I am Lim, I am the representative taken from our research institute to represent the Fel empire. I am better known as the young archive. I have perfectly memorized every single research theory, goal, and researcher within the Fel empire. I am able to compile data and properly record it. I was going to pursue the path of grand archivist before such an interesting new world was opened to us."
Of similar stature as Ebon, Lim appeared to be very confident. But that confidence came from the fact that he clearly took his time to learn facts over and over. The skills to be able to memorize research information were clearly similar to some that Walker had. But to be able to use these facts was where Lim's confidence came from.
He was also holding some weight over the Rize empire side since his eyes matched the same darting and slight glare that Ebon had. But since Walker could easily see through these two representatives and their prejudice, it would be easier to manage.
"I am Walker, I am one of the founders of Genesis, a hero title holder, along with other things, and one for the people that assisted both of your empires to become united. The future may be hard to adapt to, but that is a challenge every race is facing together. For the moment, I hope that you both keep an open mind."
Walker paused looking at the two. Ebon held less curiosity in his posture than Lim, but that was fine. Ebon would definitely be enamored when he saw the elemental mage tower. Lim would most likely be amazed by everything he saw in Genesis.
"Genesis is a place where all races can be united. A place we bring all information together to share and grow as a united people. That means that whether or not you both dislike your past, opposing empires, or anything else, you will be held to Genesis law. You will not disregard a race for any reason. All are equal."
"Furthemore, you both represent the angels as a race. Not your empires. If you dare to fight amongst yourselves, you will risk the angel race's future within Genesis. I can tell that you did not fully accept this weight, but you should know that as you are now, your race can be wiped off existence easily by the royal dragons with me. I wouldn't even need to lift a finger." Walker allowed mana to become slightly erratic around him. Just for a split second to hit his words home.
"However, I wish the angels to regain their past. To be able to see their history and grow to see the world in bright colors. If you have the same vision for a future where all angels can have a chance to live full lives, then you have nothing to worry about. You will only need to work together to achieve that goal. United angels and united people working together to a brighter future."
Walker was in no way trying to completely beat the two angels down. However, he knew that both the Rize and Fel empire would struggle to unite themselves, that was a fact. It was also why some of the genesis forces would remain here throughout their negotiations. Furthermore, that they would most likely be caught up in their own struggle for power.
Both angel empires would want to take the forefront of their people. It would take a lot of time for them to actually unite at the higher ends of their race. But the lower people that lived in villages were going to be the motivation they needed. They outnumbered the higher ups living in their respective floating cities. They were the ones that wished to get more access to knowledge and strength.
With this said, Lim and Ebon both called themselves. As angels, the chaotic mana that Walker had manipulated was incredibly intimidating to them. But they hadn't felt what genesis would be like. The mana there was sure to be more dense than what they had ever experienced.
"Now that you two seem to agree, feel free to meet the rest of my party, fellow founding members of Genesis, and other representatives you may have seen briefly." Walker pointed out the arriving Leon and Scylla along with Alma and the party. The two younger angels naturally felt a little more fear when they saw Scylla, but the others made them a little more relaxed. But also curious.
"Did you really need to scare them so much? I thought that they would pass out right there in front of you." Gil laughed a little before giving Walker a pat on the back. He knew very well that it was important to make certain the angels did not carry any negativity in to genesis when they saw it for the first time.
"I just wanted to make sure that everything worked out well enough. Especially since the angels have lived very separately for their entire existence. Even when their ancestors were in our home continent, they were more or less separated from all the other races." Walker's point was very valid. The other races had developed around one another, the only outliers were the wyverns and the angels.
"It's better that they accept other races before they get to Genesis. I agree. They will be welcomed regardless of their beliefs though. All races are welcome in our home." Su made a point to say this loudly. She saw the two angel leaders nod in appreciation.
While the two leaders knew they could overpower Walker, they understood that he had abilities that they did not fathom. They also understood where they stand as a race right now. Well behind many others. It hurt to admit even internally, but it was the truth. They had lost their path.
"Looks like you have been pretty busy. But that doesn't mean that we have been too." Leon came up to Walker to great him after not seeing him for some time. "You'd be pretty impressed by the reef we came up on near that village. Without that death mana around as much, there are tons of fish and monsters coming to explore. We managed to get a good perimeter set up." Leon's pride in his merfolk soldiers was truer than ever.
"Your people did that? I remember having to step in to deal with a coral octopus mother that wished to use you as a toothpick? Or should I say eat you and use your little spear as a toothpick." Scylla laughed at her own joke but Leon just shrugged. It appeared the two got along much better after helping to develop the village and protect the ships during this time.
"As Long as there is a village and a Genesis embassy being built, I think we will be good. Especially since we just managed to build the teleportation runes. We get to go home and back here whenever we want. It means we have a whole new land to help explore." Walker was more positive but Leon and Scylla clearly had their own excitement about the Sigil continent.
We can explore it all once you introduce us to that echidna race we saw the world recognize as still existing." From the way Leon spoke, it was one conversation the pair had had with one another.
"Most of the echidna are somewhere else. They walk their own path. But some of their warriors remained. They won't share many secrets, but they seem to want to teach and help here and there. They are kind and connected to nature. Anything you learn from them is valuable. Just don't insult them please. They deserve respect for their accomplishments."
The little bit of mystery that came with Walker's words made Leon and Scylla more excited. Alma was nearby and had the same thoughts about the echidna after Gil had told her about them. But none of this was the current focus. All of them had gathered and they were nearly ready to head home for the first time in months.
