It took a few moments before anyone actually believed Walker. They were still not convinced that such a calm and kind monster could possibly exist. However, the appearance of the scaled bear had drawn the attention of every dragonkin and the royal dragons nearby. They were all still walking so it was natural for some groups to catch up to Walker''s group at the front.


    However., it was the dragon blood line that was within the scaled bear that they sensed. This was the same as sensing a distant rtive. Many of the dragons could sense that there was something simr about them and the scaled bear, it wasn''t just the growth of the scales.


    Ignus scoffed seeing it, he believed that dragons should be prideful and powerful. This little thing was nothingpared to a dragon. Yet, before he could move to kill it out of disdain and insult, Mordant had stood in front of all of the royal dragons and red down the dragonkin that had also felt this.


    "I want to see how our distant cousins passed on what they had when they were faced with the death of what they believed to be the entire dragon race." Mordant had a very domineering aura around him. The other royal dragons had never seen him in such a state. Even Walker could sense that Mordant was infuriated.


    Now that all of the royal dragons had settled on the fact that this continent had truly lost their dragons, it made them bitter. They all dealt with it differently. Ignus wanted to reimnd while Rise thought that it was just a step to grow as a race. The weaker dragons would naturally not survive to rise in height.


    Mordant, however, wanted to see what is left. He believed that the dragons that had been here so many years ago were pure in their intentions to allow even a drop of dragon blood to live on. It was their duty to save even the tiniest existence that was dragon. Their great race which had spanned thousands of years deserved to remain in any form possible to exist. Even this small and weak scaled bear that showed absolutely no porosity that would associate it with dragons.


    "It is very different than us, but it is proof that we dragon roared and stood here. Do not insult their memories or the elder may bury your existence in the records." Mordant made a harsh point. Yet, Walker understood. It would be insulting to every one of that bloodline to say that what was left was nothing worth living. Even the weakest existence was proof of the greatness that a past age held.


    Meanwhile, Midnight had beaten everyone to the point. She had stood tall and carried a piece of fruit toward the scaled bear. Naturally, the bear had tried to retreat until it realized that the strong being before it was leaving a fruit for it. Instead of retreating, the kindness in the scaled bear acted.


    It took the fruit and looked at Midnight with strong eyes. There was a calm around them that made everyone wonder what the scaled bear must think. "You all should think of it this way, there is strength in dragons. That''s clear everywhere. But when you wonder, should a dragon be kind, you have evidence here. That scaled bear didn''t get power or pride from dragon blood. It got kindness to help others weaker than itself. So what if its scales are weaker than others? It is still doing right by the dragon blood it has. Do you not protect your vige as a royal dragon?"


    When Walker backed up Mordant, it earned a slight smirk from Mordant out of respect. It also earned a sh of understanding from the others. They all had their own ideals. Many of them could even die by their own ideals and be happy with it. That Was a dragon''s pride after all. But when it came to honoring the dragon name, they took it deathly serious. It was paramount to their core ideals no matter how they lived.


    "If that thing runs from a fight I will end it, for now it can breathe." Ignus gave up any intention of hating on it and so did the dragonkin that had shown hostility as well. Midnight also left the scaled bear alone and started to walk ahead with a happy pep in her step. She didn''t have any ill will against the scaled bear at all.


    "If they want to join a vige when we build one here, they can. I won''t stop them. They can be a bridge to thosee to us for your strength." Current summed it up with a slightly different view. But this seemed to make Terron agree along with Ventus nodding along. Rise just looked at the scaled bear and then walked away without a word.


    "I guess we are back on the way? No new bear friends?" Remey was sure that Midnight would have insisted that they bring the bear with them. She hadn''t realized that one of the harpies had already left to inform Elise.


    Walker had thought. "Just give it a few months, I''m sure that there will be tamers that specifically train and care for scaled bears to find food in forests while also helping find missing people. It could be a huge start for the tamer''s guild to build a whole division of their tamers around." That was already something that the tamer''s guild did well. Yet, it was not asrge as hiring adventures at a lower cost. Nwpo there as a better chance to rival adventurers to find missing people in forests. Especially if an elven tamer found a scaled bear to tame.


    These were just small thoughts for everyone as they continued on their journey. No one really noticed the scaled bear and the fact that three cubs hade out of the leaves around it to eat fruit too. They had also not noticed the fact that after they ate, the scaled bear and her cubs had started to follow them. As much as they had all just arrived, they had already begun to leave asting impression on the Sigil continent. Even in the tiniest of ways, the dragons had returned.


    "Can you make an ice arrow for me?" Gil suddenly asked this. He was looking at Walker with a very firm gaze.


    "I can, but why?" Walker was confused. He was thinking that Gil was bored since everyone was doing something by themselves.


    Su was speaking with Alice about the light healing shield and how to better form it inparison to her shield. Midnight was walking the lead on the trail now. Remey and Alma were raving about the seed of their new fruit and how they could grow differently with Alma''s guidance and skills. Naturally, it made sense that Gil would be bored.


    "I saw you ying with water and ice before. You should be able to make me arrows much faster. And I was thinking about how you had made those earth weapons once while fighting in the arenas. You remember, when you were fighting the demi-human arenas? You made swords out of earth all around you. They weren''t perfect but I want to do the same with ice or earth. I just think Ice would fly better with wind."


    "I do remember that. It wasn''t really a skill to be honest. It was more of earth sculpting on arge scale. But I''m sure if I refine it more I can make it a real higher ss skill. But to do that with ice…" Walker felt that he hadn''t even given it real thought. It was simr to the ice dragon domain that he had, but in specific forms. Sculpted ice that could be used by others.


    "So if I am fighting and I can''t just grab from my quiver because I have to dodge in various ways, wouldn''t it be better to be able to just pick up arrows from all around me? I doubt a monster will be able to make a bow and use my arrow in the same way, right? And I can''t just throw all my arrows around us to fight that way."


    "I see what you are saying. It is a safety when fighting an opponent you can''t take a second to grab an arrow from your quiver. It''s insurance that could buy you more time. I can try that. I''m not sure if I can change the ice dragon''s domain skill like that but if I can…" Walker felt that he had been given an interesting challenge. Meanwhile, Gil felt that he had done the right thing. He had spurred Walker in to a very profitable potential skill. Knowing Walker, something amazing woulde out of it.
