Encountering monsters and fighting with everything they had.
When they arrived, they met with a guard who had asked for their identification.
It was normal for them to need this since Genesis had ensured that they had made small metal badges with runes on it connected to the innate mana that each person had.
The idea was simple and easy to put together within genesis.
It made things much easier overall for merchants and everything else that was needed. Especially since there were plenty of matters that required approval from higher leaders within the city due to all the building happening.
Upon showing the gold painted symbol that they had been forced to carry which was representative of a star shining through darkness, Walker was not surprised that they had thrown it in a nearby fire.
The fires near every single entrance wall were there to burn certain pieces of trash or forbidden plants.
Sometimes an invasive herb could make its way where it shouldn't be. Hence how it had been added to the guard's training.
Just another thing to learn for the future.Regardless, the man that had made it was young.
He was barely twenty but had managed to carry his younger sister on his back all the way there. He had sat down and interviewed with the guards about why he had left and what he had done relating to the cathedral.
The news quickly became part of a report brought to Walker.
How the young man had gone against his parents will to steal his little sister and leave.
How he had been stopped from venturing outside the city at every single turn due to their strict rules. how leaving was the same as abandoning their faith entirely.
The moment that his little sister had spoken out that she wanted to see what the mountains looked like, their parents had looked at him. Had begun to pray and talk about how he had corrupted her.
How a pure soul was already tainted by heretical thoughts that prayer should release them from.
What was worse though, was that the young man only had one arm.
A so called method of removing impurities by forcing them to one part of the body through prayer. Then brutally severing that part.
After learning of how the young man had been lucky enough to have a chance to flee and leave his family behind, the guards had asked for extra time off. They had not realized that the situation there was so bad that even families would tear themselves apart.
Seeing the results right away without grasping that was a fair reason to go home and be thankful for their own family life.
Once it was clear who this man was and the state of him and his sister, they had been accepted and brought to the Genesis building.
The guards that took them had explained a few things, but overall, it had been a very long day for them before they were given a room within an inn to stay.
The relevant skills they were able to use were very basic.
They had never been allowed to do much. A twenty year old without a class since they had not been allowed to do anything after the world had changed and a younger sister of seven that also was not allowed to try for a class.
The reason behind this was simple, when the world had changed, they had been told that the message from existence was wrong. That it was the whispers of heretics trying to stop them.
They had not been stopped because of they chose a class without one automatically just appearing then they were against their god.
A double standard that by praying their god would somehow just hand them a class instead of them working to gain one.
It was idiotic, but with so many risks if they did so they couldn't. It just went to show more of the oppression there.
Only a few hours later did a few of the scouting elves return with reports that a few hundred people were walking toward Genesis. All of them were injured in some way.
Mostly because of the journey when they had never been able to leave and train themselves. Others from the resistance that they had to put up to flee from their past homes.
This prompted many guards and healers to make their moves.
Setting up tents to ensure that people were healed was a must. But the guards needed to be there to gauge those who would or would not be accepted in to genesis.
Because of the things said and done by these people, it needed to be carefully decided over all else.
Many had shown that they had fear whenWalker was brought up.
Especially when they mentioned the immense pressure that came with everywhere he walked. They were under the impression that Walker gave off that sort of pressure at all times.
A small comical idea that the guards explained as being untrue.
What shocked everyone, was when Alice arrived and began to heal those with injuries.
Many feared that they would be turned away since they had been in the square when the saintess was brought out. They had not raised a single finger to help her or those that came with her.
Yet, no revenge or anger showed on Alice's face. Her song resonated with the light mana and began to heal all that were near her.
Changing everything that they believed and showing that they had truly been cut free from the lives that they had lived in fear.
Naturally this did not stop others from heading to the tents to take a look.
Ignus and Remey made their own appearances. Ignus decided that shocking these people by showing them his full dragon form before he returned to his dragonkin form was a good idea.
And Remey also set foot next to Alice with her body ablaze before she began refining healing potions suited for individual injuries on the spot.
Booth made waves but showed what Genesis truly was.
A united front of ideas and races that caused growth. These events prompted endless questions before Gil and Su also made their own appearances.
The only pens that didn't go out too much were Midnight and Onyx who had made their own efforts to ensure that these people would be able to have homes.
The new buildings being prepared for the expanding citizens were always in need of more hands.
Having Onyx there to help move larger items saved the usage of a few dwarven golems. Having Midnight to guide some enthusiastic young earth dragon hatchlings recently trying to master their earth skills also kept some trouble calm.
Walker himself was the last to arive. Not because he feared he would scare them, but because he worried that he might lose his temper.
Especially if he saw a few of the ones that came to cause trouble do or say anything to Alice.
And those that came to cause trouble were not few.
Out of the few hundred people that came, a group of forty had sworn they came to cleanse Genesis. They had led their own foolish attack to try and break in to the city and fight those within.
To purify the heretical thinking that caused their own city to fall in to chaos.
As such, Walker had allowed himself one slight in control.
He had released a large amount of earth mana to create moving vines of soil that entangled all of them before leaving them to the guards. While he wanted to vent his disappointment, Walker knew that there had been laws for a reason.
He would not be judge, jury, and executioner in this situation. Unsurprisingly, this had won him some faith from the people who came to find a new life and start again.
It was odd in a way since they still held a seed of fear for Walker. Yet, it seemed that he had shown just what he meant when he spoke of Genesis.
Just how he felt about defending the unity within Genesis.
Although, there was another development within Genesis when these people had shown up.
The idea that there would need to be a lot more recruitment for new people had been pushed again. That it would be worth setting up academies properly.
The idea had already been pitched before. However, an idea that they should make a united academy for the brilliant top young people of the entity of Genesis was a decent idea.
A potential new way to grow people that would be able to set foot in to the elemental planes once they had trained enough. Or to take hold of the forefront of certain guilds or industries
Within the city.
A potential retirement opportunity for some of the masters that had already begun to pass on their knowledge.
