The return of Ventus had caused even more stirs in Genesis than before. But with everyone knowing that there was a war preparation happening, it just further caused them to become more dedicated.
Walker had spent some time meeting the elder wind dragons along with assisting some of their hatchlings that wanted to come in to the city. Because the elders were untrustworthy of Genesis, Walker took the role of guardian while they explored alongside Midnight. The elders knew he was also a royal dragon and highly respected his strength.
While it was clear that Ventus had taught the wind dragons more compassion than they had in her childhood or compared to the other dragons, it was still hard for them to just open up to everyone.
