Chapter 983: 983. Peace

Gil had left the alchemy guild building in a rush. He was going to do just what Trish had told him. He already knew Walker had gotten the courage to tell Alice his feelings. Gil knew that he had been able to speak to Alma in letters and grown closer to her, but he had left so much open. He needed to stop lazing around and show what he felt or he could lose the chance forever. 

The krakens were a major threat. For an ancient royal dragon to tell them that they had been a menace before that were admittedly exterminated, then it was worth listening to. There was no doubt that they would struggle and have a hard time reaching their destination. Then having to find and battle something thought to be larger than any monster they had ever met, well, it made Gil face a reality he had yet to consider.
