Chapter 26 - The Ark Of Trouble (1/2)

”Please no... I won't come here anymore...” pleaded the little girl, taking a bunch of steps away from the Time Mage.

”Come on, what are you waiting for?!”

Raiyen bit his lip. He clenched his fists so tightly that it drew blood.

”If you're having second thoughts, then we'll just take her by force!” yelled a man with a farmer's uniform.

”Glitch...” whispered the Time Mage, as his Elemental Aura switched from Time to Electric.

He sprinted towards the frightened Valkyrie. Mavislin squeezed her eyes shut, hoping that the human would miss.

”Reverse The Shift!” yelled Raiyen.

The man was almost able to cut her. But a flash of blue light blinded both the man and Mavislin, resulting in Raiyen holding onto the small girl once more. His face was twisted with disgust, his eyes held fury. He pulled the girl closer towards his chest.

”I won't let you hurt a child!” shouted Raiyen, setting the Valkyrie back down.

”You will burn!!” shouted the mob once more.

”Both of you will burn at the stake!”

”Traitor!”

The constant threats from humans with pitchforks caused Mavislin constant pain as she tried her best to hold back her tears. And anger. She quickly covered her ears and repeated a few lyrics of her childhood song to ease her mind.

”I soon will be in New Orleans... And then I'll look all 'round,” sang the young Valkyrie, squeezing her eyes shut.

”Demon!”

”And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna don't you cry...” continued the small girl as she hid behind Raiyen.

”Quick! Kill her before she curses all of us!” yelled a human with a wooden stake.

”You are willing to kill a small child?!” yelled Raiyen with ferocity in his voice.

He held Mavislin tightly, cupping the girl's ears on top of her tiny hands.

”She's no child, brat! Let go of her, she's a demon!” shouted the villagers.

”No, she isn't!” retorted the Time Mage, hugging her even tighter.

”Come on! We were easily able to kill the previous one, this shouldn't be any problem!”

”Yea! Let's kill them both!”
