"For the assistance, we are giving your people I expect to be thanked properly." Current was the first to break the silence. He was still off about the lack of greeting and introduction. For Leon to speak with his father and act the way he did may have been their tradition then that was that. But afterward, they had been given seats to sit and no one recognized any of them. Let alone Current and Walker who were royals.
"I have already made documentation that the pink pearls we have will be sent along with you as soon as the kraken is defeated. I represent every merfolk in the ocean. It would be wrong for me to compensate for the losses the new alliance may incur." Aaron was quick to say this. He may have been living under the water his entire life but that didn't mean he didn't know just how powerful dragons were.
"I need a rouge pearl. It is necessary for the upcoming event of my elemental counterparts. My fellow royal will require an indigo pearl. Is that clear?" Walker was not sure why these two pearls were so important. He had not heard of them before but could tell that they had some very important value.
"A rouge pearl is created from the vent oysters. They rest on the hot volcanic vents under the water and mix fire and water elemental mana to create a rouge pearl. The indigo pearl is a very pure water elemental pearl that comes from a drifting oyster. They drift in the tides without settling or floating on the surface. This lets them create pearls that are purely water affinity." Scylla saw that some did not understand this and shared her knowledge. She had seen them used in many different weapons to make many different effects. She also knew how valuable they are.
"We have the indigo pearls from our yearly hunting in the vaults of our main city of Trident. The rouge pearls are with me. We only found three this year as of yet. I would not part with it if it was anyone else in need." This was said just to make sure that Current felt he was on a higher pedestal than any other being there. Aaron knew how dragons felt and that playing to their pride always made things better.
"Good. That is accepted. Now tell us where your main city is. It's been some years since I bothered to venture in to the oceans." Current had seen the maps but wanted to hear the marching plans of the merfolk. If they were not up to his standards then he would be changing things.
"We will leave here with the forces we have. My scouts can sneak in to the coral bunkers and get a plan in. It will only be safe for one to do though. They will notify them that they are to open the bunker so we can attack from inside and outside. I would like to focus on the market side of the city. It can be rebuilt but the homes on the opposite end carry priceless heirlooms." This was a method of taking the people in to account. But it also was affected by the location of the coral bunker hidden under the city.
"The mother kraken had been using the area near the city as a nest. It was unknown to us for longer than it should have been. But when we discovered it we were too late. Now we have intelligence that there is another clutch of eggs in the nest she set up. That is why she had been taking down large ships, monsters, and even whales. The food she gathers will feed the next clutch of spawn."
"We will focus on the eggs and the kraken spawn. While Current and his elders will take on the mother. Once we deal with that, we will join Them fighting the mother. But under no circumstances will anyone interfere until the rest of the forces can join. If we go in to it unorganized we will harm more than help." Walker used a very stern voice. He saw Current nod. This was exactly what the dragons wanted.
"My aquatic troops will scout. They have the ability and I believe they will be able to work well with your scouts, if not better than with my own troops."
"I will have my enforcers paired with golems. The will be the shields that draw the kraken spawn in while my enforcers attack them. The finishing attacks will be from Scylla's troops." Scylla and Alma continued the conversation showing Aaron just how prepared they were.
"Then I will not say more. My forces are prepared to leave this campsite and move on." There was nothing more than king Aaron wanted to speak on. He was all business and from this point on he would be taking charge of the battle ahead. "Be warned, nothing is patrolling the coral reef we will swim. If an electrified eel attacks you will be left to handle it yourself." No one doubted this to be the truth. Right now to king Aaron, the safety of his people was much more important.
The break had only been an hour long so Walker was worried that everyone would not be prepared. However, when they started to leave it appeared that Alma had regained a lot of her energy. "The pearls are for the royal court as gifts. I owe that fire dragon a gift from some previous relations. His daughter is a steam dragon and the rouge pearl is perfect for her to consume and strengthen her scales. You will be giving the indigo pearl to me. It shows your close relationship with me and my elders. It also shows that I back you as a young royal." Current spoke quickly before taking the lead out to the second temporary city.
