Chapter 54 - The Shadows Attack (1/2)
”Can your wing be healed?”
”It can be recovered, but it's going to take a long time compared to other bodily injuries. The wings of a Valkyrie are sacred since it is the core area where our Elemental Energy is produced.”
Raiyen looked upset as his partner tried hauling the limp wing around. The Time Mage tried his best to soothe it by stroking the wounded wing. It did nothing to heal, but it did offer comfort to the Valkyrie.
”Not to worry. Victory is, nonetheless, yours. ”
The Time Boy sat beside the Valkyrie in silence as Jeanette and Metria caught up to them.
”Mavislin, I'll try to remedy it,” suggested Jeanette, placing her hand on the broken wing.
The moment her hand made contact with the wing, a stinging pain ran through the lovely maiden's fingers.
”It rejects any other form of healing by beings besides Valkyries.”
Raiyen looked more devastated as his partner tried to keep her wounded wing. Once again, Raiyen gingerly touched her broken wing as the firelight flickered through the sunset.
”Sorry about your wing,” whispered Raiyen.
”Don't apologize for your victory. It makes me want to punch you even more,” replied the Valkyrie, eyes gazing at the fire.
”Can't I feel sympathetic about what I've succeeded?”
”You are giving pity to your enemies. It will cause your demise.”
”But you are my partner!”
”Night is about to fall. We better prepare,” said Mavislin, looking around.
”Prepare for what?” asked Metria.
”We are out on a barren wasteland. And the night is falling. Did you genuinely think it would be secure at night?”
”Not as if zombies would roam about,” scoffed the foreign princess.
”If you mean the Husks, I much rather prefer them than these beings. This area reeks with them. In all honesty, this land is crawling with those beings,” explained Mavislin.
”What do you imply, Mav?” asked Raiyen, taking out his daggers.
