Chapter 2319: 2319. Missing Angels

Approaching the floating city, the angels made way. They knew that the group was coming and prepared for them. This was a warmer welcome than the last time Walker had been here. Unfortunately, it was worse circumstances.

Walker expected one of the older angels to meet him, however, he was met with multiple leaders instead, those who guarded the outer edges of the city and had been patrolling for weeks now. They seemed to be the front line and the most knowledgeable, so it made a lot more sense. They had the most information.

"Welcome to our home. I would like to be more polite to you four. Times do not allow that." Walker noticed that many of the symbols of the separate empires had been taken away from buildings and uniforms. Enough to prove that the angels really accepted and began to turn over a new leaf.

"I would love to explore your city properly. The time isn't right though." Making a point to look at the unmoving clouds in the distance, Walker focused on the angels around him.

"I can sense the way that the water mana is stagnant. No, it is refusing to move according to the natural flow of what it should." Current spoke loudly so that the angels could hear. He also focused on those who were clearly weighed down by the added patrols of the area in case threats may appear.

His words were resonating through the gathered angels. But it appeared that there was more to all of this than just the angels working so hard alone. "Where are the leaders of your joint empires?" Ventus asked out of pure curiosity, but partially out of anger. She knew very well that their representatives were working hard within Genesis to bring angels from their lands and also send help to various places within the Sigil continent. Yet here, the leaders were not coming to them?

"They are no longer standing. They have retreated in to their retirement after feeling their power wane over the empires. They have chosen the wrong paths." everyone became even more serious hearing this.

While it was hard to handle the changes within the world, the elemental angels who believed that the main elements manas were what there was and nothing more should have not been so weak. The same for the angels who preferred the unknown and research over everything else. Yet both had stepped away and given up?

"The representatives handled more and more every day. They sent and called for forces. Our head for all research and development no longer had a project. He did not wish to research the singular empire and a singular alliance. He preferred the unknown aspects of competition and battle between the two empires."

"Our leader of elemental angels believed that all they stood for was now tainted. That our beliefs had been stomped on just to be rewritten by those who had more control. That the representatives were just ways to abdicate strength without too much bloodshed."

Both angels from either side did not sound like they were in a good position. However, this simple act of either leader walking away and leaving a broken council of, so called powerful angels, was despicable.

The clouds themselves were pure white and fluffy looking. They were also towering well above what Walker or even the royal dragons in their dragon forms would stand. He could tell that they were more likely boxed in by some unseen forces. Not expanding because they were not able to. Like they were held back by something.

"It's like making a bowstring. The water mana is stuck to the string and when the bow is released it pulls the water mana back."

Current raised his head with a curious look, "That seems right. Something baits the water mana in, then it gets stuck and pulled in. That's the best way to say how this feels." Current had released a little of his own water mana here and there. He was testing the dangers he could perceive but only got the strange feeling of losing the water mana he controlled as soon as he released it. He couldn't let it go at all or he would lose it entirely.

"I will have to make myself a little more well defended then. It might be stronger of a pull in the clouds. Or it might drown me." These were two possibilities. If the water in Walker's body was pulled away it would be dangerous for him. Or, the water inside would be so dense within the clouds that there would not be a single bit of air for him to breathe. If that was the case, just trying to breathe air would be the same as diving in to a lake and trying to breathe the

water there too.

"Just stay focused and keep the rope tight." Ignus huffed as he looked at the rope he was handed to help Walker tie around his body.
