Chapter 3 - Confirmation And Hiring (1/2)

Ysabeau next provided a divine thwack on her husband's head.

”Be nice! You'll end up scaring her!”

”I can't make her scared if she's already frightened,” mumbled Gillian, rubbing the sore spot on the top of his head.

Another smack made the young girl wince in place of Gillian.

”And whose fault was that?!”

”You were the one who unleashed the Demonic Wings.”

By the third whack, the young girl was trying to hold back her laughter. Despite how they were being portrayed, they were nothing but newlyweds at heart. As the couple finally focused once more, the young girl was able to unleash the most powerful spell within her arsenal.

One that was strong enough to strain her Elemental Endurance but not enough to completely drain the hapless girl's Elemental Energy. With a deep breath, the young girl gathered up her strength and unleashed a taste of the power she had within her being.

”Coeli Rotam; Die Iudicii. (Heaven's Wheel; On the day of judgment),” she chanted, glowing bright with golden light.

Heaven's Wheel. Also known as Valokia's Divine Justice. A spell that can only be wielded by a Valkyrie born and bred on the lands of Valokia. Though the way it was being used throughout the years remains a mystery, it has been known to kill a single individual to making stars fall.

Two immense circles appeared; above and underneath the whole hall. The circles started spinning rapidly, absorbing streams of Light Elemental Energy within the area.

With arrows coming from both circles, an enormous pillar of light and flash left the couple impressed. Gillian gave a contented smile as he clapped. The young girl's eyes lit up in happiness.

”I had a hunch, but I couldn't know for sure. It has been a long time since I've encountered one of your kind. Years, perhaps. Tell me, young one, what is your name?” asked Gillian.

The young girl smiled and went towards the couple.

”My name's Mavislin Roydon,” introduced the cheerful young girl.

Gillian nodded as he laid a hand on the child's head.

”You are worthy of gaining high status and fame within the Congregation. And I am willing to give you some private lessons. After all, a Valkyrie's powers should be used wisely, not recklessly,” explained Gillian.

Mavislin tilted her head in confusion. Ysabeau sighed and crouched to the young girl's level.

”Would you like to train with us?”

Mavislin was taken aback, was she hearing things? Two great Mages were proposing her to be their disciple? It wasn't even an order; it was an invitation. The girl showed trepidation as she tried gathering her muddled thoughts.
