Chapter 1 - Tryouts (1/2)
In this universe, some called themselves 'Mages', performing 'Magecraft'. To a certain degree, like supernatural abilities. They harness the power of Elements. From Water to Fire Elements, Mages were being bred in all corners of the Universe.
The Great Noble War established its name throughout the Universe by taking down a multitude of stars. From the remnants of galaxies that were affected, one particular galaxy called the Milky Way birthed something called the Solar System.
This System was the collection of eight planets and their moons in orbit around a star called the sun, together with smaller bodies in the form of asteroids, meteoroids, and comets. A particular planet stood out from the rest as a haven to all; Earth.
Humanity was not very welcoming to these foreign beings, so the first few Mages developed a system as well as an organization, called the Congregation. This group was further segregated into departments, classified by the number of Elements that a Mage can wield.
Tryouts that were being held annually allowed the recent batches of Mages to enter the Congregation. Ranking them would be the strongest Mages within the departments of the Holders. The leader, Commander Pond, stood around to witness the tryouts every year. In the year 1300, a distinct race called the Valkyries joined the Congregation.
Believed to represent the leader for the Great Noble War, the Valkyries of Valokia knew no bounds when it comes to power and size. They are creatures of pure Light. Stars fall to dust at the mere mention of Valokian spells. Valkyries, in their genuine form, are huge compared to the rest of the beings mentioned.
Valokia enjoyed constant evening purple skies, decorated with luminous rosy clouds. The land looked like a huge dusty orange carpet. Its landscape was mostly barren, except for the Capital; Arcadia. Arcadia was filled with massive buildings, similar to the city center of a metropolis.
The Child of Valokia concealed her identity, hiding her wings and covering her long, flowing hair. Her eyes were fixated on the ground. Her Aura was of the Light Element, but then again, the Valkyries were also masters of veiling their Auras. A young girl wearing a black coat with a hoodie stepped forward when the leading judge yelled 'Next'.
” 'Kay then, kid. Show us what you've got!” announced the host.
The young girl, taking down her hood, revealed long flowing chestnut locks. Her eyes radiated a golden hue as she flung her hands forward. Multiple colors emerged from within the crowd and were drawn onto her fingertips. It subsequently started to light up.
Her thumb had grown a small flower, while her index finger had conjured up a mini-tornado, just floating above the fingertip. A small white orb enveloped by a pale blue flame was hovering above her middle finger, small pearls of both ice and water droplets danced above her ring finger. At last but not least, a bright orange fireball barely touching the skin of her pinky's fingertip.
This applied to her other hand. Eyes bore into the young girl as she continued absorbing Elemental Energy. When she was content, she closed her open palms, crushing the mini items. She smiled as she threw her fists into the air once more.
