1126: 1126. One Hour

1126. One Hour

The number of half elf half demons was not too great while the group snuck through the grasses on their stomach. Gil had originally thought kneeling down and crouching would be enough. But with Neil and Leon's height, they need to be flat. It also gave them a better chance of making it to the water. 2

While they snuck through the grass Walker was able to make out the things that were being built. He could see the looks of forge materials and tools being set up. There were also training dummies and magical staffs being prepared. All of this was obviously for battle. What was even more dastardly was the fact that some of the half elf half demons looked malnourished. They were all being forced to work with the smallest amount of food possible. Not only were they unable to think for themselves, they were being tortured in such a way. 

Some had even collapsed and just been pushed to the side. The water elves that had been controlled were even worse off. Even though they were pawns to Lust and technically in charge, they were treated terribly compared to others. It was more like they were there just to carry around more of the poison affecting all of them.

 It took some time for Walker to see the first demon. It was not what he expected. They had very round features in comparison to the usual sharp and pointed features that the other demons had. There were also smaller wings than he had seen on some other demons. The large pointed tail was what struck out the most. It seemed to have a defined needle on the end with a purple and pink coloration. He could bet that it was the place that concentrated positions were stored. 

'Succubus demon spawn

This is a demon with the sole purpose of following their succubus parent. They have bodies that can attract other beings with high charisma. Their reflexes are much more improved than many other beings so that they can easily inject concentrated poisons in to a body. These poisons are received from their parent when needed. They give ninety percent of the experience points gained to their parent as a requirement of their services. In turn, they are directly tied to the well being of their parent. If their parent suffers, so shall they. If their parent perishes, so shall they.'

Walker managed to whisper this out so that everyone knew. Neil would just need to hold off these demon spawn so that the group could defeat Lust. It was a better situation than expected and warranted that Walker should use a communication crystal to get reinforcements on the way to help the water elves after this. There would be discord in their race if not done well. 

The group froze in place while they processed this information and adjusted their mindsets to just hold off the children that lust created. This would be integral for them to clear the entire water elf group of this danger. It also gave Walker the time to pull out one of the crystals that Scylla had given him and send an urgent message. It was enough for Scylla to gather their council in Genesis and be able to get everyone on the move. He made sure that the forest elves would be put in the lead for this so that they would be more understanding. It was also important that the demons already saved and growing in Genesis were included. 

This way the half elf and half demons that had come from this tragedy would have brethren that had survived Pride to look to for guidance. They were all victims of corruption and deserved the chance to grow safely. If everything went well then there was the chance that the half elf half demons would be the key to bringing the races closer. It could be a foundation instead of a tragedy. All they needed to do was put in the kindness and effort to make it happen. 

Once the crystal had cracked and fallen in to shards their movement continued. Walker wanted to use magic to manipulate the water and make it warmer. But he knew that it could give them away. He also worried that he would somehow alert water nymphs or sprites. But what was more strange than anything, these sprites and nymphs were nowhere to be seen. It was not normal for them to be so reclusive since these waters were their home. 

The stream had enough rocks to poke at their arms and stomachs while they crawled. But Gil had picked out a deep stream that let them fully cover themselves after using the water breaking spell scrolls. This was good since they were able to hide themselves completely without any enemies seeing them. Not that they were making enough commotion for any of the dulled and hypnotized water elves to see them. 

Their vision was not great underwater but they expected this. It was worse than it was in the ocean but the actions in the water from the boats and rafts made it that way. There were also the monsters in the lake that the group had spotted which undoubtedly made the silt rise through the water. 

Leon took the lead because he was the one that would be able to show them where he needed to be to activate whatever skill he was able to. Walker felt that it had to be one that affected a large area and was unique to Leon's spear. He could see that when Leon had spoken about it that he had clenched the spear tighter. He also wondered why Leon had not used it when they battled the kraken. Yet, as he thought about it, he realized that it must have to do with the fact that it would affect a large area and be dangerous for those around him. At the end of the day, Leon would be waiting for the right time to use it.
