Master Of None

Chapter 1502: 1502. Speaking With Actions

This was a sight that the demons had never known. Kindness was always a way to trick the demons in to something in the demon lands. It was fair that they were looking at Walker and the others like they were going to jump up and bite them.

”Sir, we are going to bandage your leg with a special medicine that will keep it healing even without Aliceʼs song. Just stay off of it for three weeks and it should be healed well enough to walk again.” Su knew the basics of a skin deep injury and how long someone should rest. She had learned a lot of information while in the cathedral.

”Heʼs really going to be fine!?” The older manʼs son was still panicking but it was understandable. His father had been attacked and injured by a monster they had not expected to face on a peaceful day.

”Alice is one of the best healers in Genesis. I promise you, between Alice and Su, there isnʼt any better care. Just keep an eye on him and make sure he rests. If you intend to leave, the dragonkin with us will help you transport him. They are allied with Genesis.”

Walker waited for another response but the younger man seemed to fall in to a mental dilemma. He wasnʼt sure if he should keep trusting those that had just helped his father or be safe and retreat for now.

”My daughter has a cut from running!”

”Oh, umm…my leg is hurt too.”

”Can you heal my arm?”

The calls from the villagers as they became more confident echoed around them. The dragonkin started to set up spaces to lay that were not covered in acid slime bodies. ”Alice, you are in charge. I will get the acid slime bodies taken care of. Gil, can you and Midnight survey the surroundings and tell me what happened when the winds blew away my fog? I want to make sure it didnʼt cause any trouble.”

”You got it. Midnight and I will make sure that there arenʼt any more slimes approaching here. I donʼt want to see another one again.” Gil was tired of the slimes and Midnight growled with her agreement. The pair would be able to better handle the shouting.

”Remey-”

”Donʼt even try and ask. I am already setting up the barrel of water I found by the well with potions. They still have the insides of their homes to do. I will take some of the uninjured demons to handle it.” Walker was very glad that Remey was still ahead of him on this.

It was dangerous to have the demons return to hiding in their homes because it could spell their immediate defeat in the place they should feel safest.

Without hesitation, everyone moved in to their assigned jobs. The only one that was left free was Onyx who had begun to communicate with a nearby harpy. There were more that had pushed deeper in to the demon lands with the groups toward the villages.

Since this village had been helped, Onyx was sure to request troops to come and guard it sooner than later. They would be there in just under an hour since it was the closest village to the walls that the soldiers had known of.

The best part was that the harpy would return before the soldiers with news of any reinforcements approaching. It was a slight perk having wings and needing to travel the longer distance. Adding on to the fact that Walker had managed to stir up a breeze that helped the harpy fly, it would be even faster for it to get there and back.

”Make way! Another injured demon found.” Remey came as fast as she could with a young girl in her arms. ”She was hiding under her bed where a few of the slime spawn found her. She needs treatment on her arms, face, and shoulder.” Without even hesitating, Walker dropped what he was doing and used the water under his control to wash the acid burns.

”I need to go back to sweeping the homes. Make this girl feel better.” Remey gave Walker a hard pat on the shoulder before rushing back toward the village house she had just come from. She had looked at the girl and seen her own siblings.

”Hello there, My name is Walker and I am going to fix you up alright.” Walker acted like he was helping his very own sister and tried to distract her. ”Itʼs been a pretty busy day. But I know that you have plenty of energy in you now right?” The little girl was still visibly worried but had been distracted enough to wonder what Walker was talking about.

”Because I canʼt possibly eat all the food I brought with me. I have beef jerky made from horned rabbits, some peeled carrots, or wait, do you want some of my motherʼs special cinnamon candy?” Walker was using his healing skills on the girlʼs arms while he offered the candy to her.

He felt a pang of regret seeing the mild acid burns on her cheek but they werenʼt too bad that it would scar her for life. The girl eventually nodded slightly wondering what would happen when she ate the candy.

The reaction to the sweet treat with the spiciness of cinnamon surprised and completely distracted the young girl from what Walker was doing. Before she had even eaten half the candy, Walker had managed to bandage every spot the slimeʼs acid had touched. ”Now, make me a promise. You wonʼt take these bandages off for three days. Then you should be all better.” The little girl nodded again.

Since she was so young, she had not learned to fear everyone. However, her trust in Walker had been more than just him helping her. Unnoticed by Walker, the older demons had seen how he acted. It was alien to them but enough for them to decide they would give him a chance, even if it was small.
