Chapter 2259: 2259. Dangerous Nests
The heated water gave off a lot of fog, however, Su was surprised by the speed that the fog began to appear. Her questions whether or not wyverns would be over there only grew.
The fog would make it safe for their nests. That was a clear example of how they could hide them from other predators, but would that be enough? The issue was the heat and dangerous amount of light mana all in one place as well. The wyvern's eggs would need to resist that. Let alone the adult wyverns.
But when Su began to hear something over the dampening of the fog, she understood that something was over there. Comparing it to the sounds of the earth wyverns before they were a recognized race, she noted that they were similar shrieks and roars. But could they be the same?
It was too hard to tell through the fog, sounds of waves, and general distance between them and the islands. However, Su noticed that she could feel a significant amount of water mana moving around a distance away. An odd feeling since it would be light mana that they had to focus on right now.
The light mana should be the most prevalent because of how the islands reflected the light and caused it to feel amplified or to be gathered in reflections. Not the water mana even with the fact that it was part of the fog.
Regardless, the sounds continued as the sun had begun to set and the fog finally started to ease up in the lowering temperature of the night. Even as the fog settled on the surface of the calm waves, Su could still feel that there was more water mana flowing than the light mana, it should take longer for the heat and light to dissipate. The fire mana that the light mana gathers alone would be much higher right now, but wasn't.
She was not the only one to notice it though. Mages that had come with her also noticed it. Just because this was a light focused travel did not mean that there weren't mages of other affinities present. They could be useful in defending the boats that they took from the shore. Not to mention that the wind magic users could be the key focus to get in contact with sky wyverns as it was.
"If there is so much water mana ahead of us, then it is more believable that some form of water monster that can resist the heat lives there. They may even have fire affinity as well." The idea that the fire affinity would resist the heat from the high amount of light causing flames and fog was clear in the mages' analysis. But there was still an odd amount of water mana for that to be happening.
"What if the water monsters are causing the fog? What if it isn't natural?" Su's return comment was a more interesting theory for the mages. Mostly because it would mean that it was an adaptation over time on and around the islands to survive them on a daily basis.
"If that is the case, they will be highly resistant to both light and fire mana, and able to control water mana with a higher ability than we expect. There may also be many of them." The theory ahd taken a hold on the many mages listening. But as the fog changed and the night began to move on before the silence was taken over the ocean they anchored in, Su believed that they would be able to prove this sooner than later.
A few more hours later...
The mages reacted to stabilize the boats as well. Their calming wind and water spells allowed for the boats to stop their bobbing. This made the elder wyverns of both forms look down at them more carefully. It also prompted one of the more damaged and clearly older water wyverns to flap its wings.
Su noticed the damaged scales and the fact that its body was significantly thinner. The scars all over it proved that it had worked tirelessly to defend these islands. It was clearly being sent because of its age in case there was a chance that it would be in a battle with these strangers. Its sacrifice would save the others who could attack together.
As it fell in to the water and slowly surfaced with a mouth full of condensed saltwater, Su looked at it in the eyes and allowed her half dragon aura to radiate from her. She could strengthen herself with various manas, specifically with light mana that was very powerful
within this area.
"We came to offer you a safe home and also to ask for assistance in return. We will not harm a single wyvern of your race as we are already allies with the earth wyverns and various other races." Now she needed to see what they would say.
