"Listen closely. We are in Genesis. This is a ce built where everyone is equal." Onyx had started a ss. The hatchlings had absorbed a great deal of light elemental mana and had unexpectedly be energetic. It seemed that the time they had been dormant in the eggs had led to them being weak at first but able to devour the light elemental mana to catch up.
"That means that every races is wee and even monsters are wee. There are goblins and grey haired spiders that earned their recognition from the world as a race. That means they have intelligence just like us. But we are too few. We need to work hard to grow and earn our race as well." The unveiling of this desire was very important to Onyx. he wanted to make sure he instilled this goal for the abyssal serpent species early within them before they saw the world and developed their own opinions and dreams.
There was some understanding in the eyes of the hatchlings that had lined up with Onyx''s guidance. They were slow to fully understand everything however, the fact that he was able to speak within their minds really drove their learning curve. They were able to feel the emotions a little more that connected with Onyx''s words. On top of that, they were also exposed to the cathedral to hear thenguage and connect the meanings to what was happening. It was exactly the same that onyx had gone but at a slightly slower rate than Onyx had due to the fact that Onyx was out with Walker constantly.
"I want you to remember, even though the heavenly serpents like Arora are not abyssal serpents, they are your family as well. They will grow alongside you and will strive for the same goal. We will all be a family." This was thest set in stone lesson that Onyx wanted them to know. It would be very important to making sure that they would support each other and be their own races together.
"With that done, we go outside!" Onyx was taking them out of the room and toward the back entrance. He thought it best to leave through the least busy area so that the hatchlings would be able to slowly adapt to what was happening. "Remember, when we get to the front of the cathedral you will be in the road. There are dangerous things there. If you do not duck in to a shadow fast enough you could get run over!" Every single hatchling recoiled in to the shadows. They were afraid that they could end up squished without even understanding why.
The moment that they left the cathedral which was the most they had known due to the fact that they had remained hidden within the shadows until they had gotten to the hatching room, the serpents froze. They were taking in the swaying bushes starting to grow green leaves. The clouds in the sky led to a beautiful partly cloudy day. And even more, there was the sun beginning to warm the city. It was a lot to see all at once but enough for them to realize that this was part of their world.
The sounds of Genesis slowly got through to them while Onyx watched their reactions. At first, it was mainly fear. This would be the same for any newborn seeing the world for the first time. Genesis was a city and tons of people wereing in to it to start a new life. That also meant that it was loud and sound traveled. Just because the inside of the cathedral was controlled and peaceful did not mean the outside would be. "Welle on, I will take you to the mansion where the family lives. There is arge garden there that I want you all to be able to explore. Just hide away in my shadow if you aren''tfortable." This was not their immediate reaction which really inspired hope for Onyx. he knew that the hatchlings would be tough enough to find their own way in the world with their courage.
"That is a shop that sells food. Not many beings eat elemental mana like us. But you will be able to eat other food too. I often share some with my family during meal times even though I don''t have to eat it. The vor is the reason why. You will understand soon." Onyx Was not going to stop and buy anything. He wanted to have Hilda share some of her food at dinner since it was the very best he had ever had.<sub> </sub>
This was a curious subject for the abyssal serpents since they could smell the scents of the food stalls on the streets. They weren''t sure what would be good or bad but they were curious. However, the sudden barking of a dog made them all dove right on to Onyx''s shadow. "That is just a pet kept by humans. They are mostly used on farms or aspanions. They are very different from predators. You can make friends with them and they are often very nice." A single thought from Onyx made the dog head in the opposite direction. Onyx had long conquered this fear and learned to handle overexcited dogs.
"You can see the otherrge buildings from here. They are important and know that they serve their own purposes. We will go there in a few days to learn about them." The guilds would be aplicated subject for the hatchlings. It was still their first day in the city and Onyx was not going to overwhelm them. He was lucky that everything was going so smoothly so far. Now he just needed to get to the mansion.
