Chapter 245 - The Ark Of Kindest Defeat (2/2)
Benjamin's hands clenched up, shaking with anger. But he relaxed as Mavislin willingly hugged him. He was shocked but soon realized that he had to admit defeat this time.
”I promise, I will find a way to save you. And then, we can go home together. I know that you are still my twin, somewhere inside. We just have to wait. For now, victory is in my hands,” said Mavislin, closing her eyes.
A small child tugged onto Mavislin's coat. The Valkyrie then looked at the child and gave a sad smile. It was tragic to see the child form of herself. One that would be lost forever. The days that were gone.
”Thank you,” whispered Mavislin as she gave a head pat to the child.
The little girl squealed, with a beaming smile.
”I'm sorry I wasn't able to be the girl that we dreamt of. But I am proud of the family that I've made,” answered Mavislin, crouching down to the little girl.
”No worries. I know you had it rough. I love the Mama that we have. I miss Benny, but I am sure someday we will find a cure,” replied the child.
”Go on now, be with the family of the past. Like the memory of distant history,”: said Mavislin, with tears in her eyes.
The silhouettes of her fallen parents came to fruition, glowing as a picture. The young child ran off, flying right into the hands of her mother. Mavislin reached out for a moment but did not walk towards them.
”Shine! The Light Of the Valkyries!” yelled Mavislin.
The entire world became overwhelmingly blinding as she shouted out those words. Benjamin had been defeated again, leaving Mavislin to wake up. She blinked twice as she saw Ysabeau crying. The darkness in her eyes and Aura had dispersed.
The last thing she heard was dinner was ready and that playtime was over. Her shield had reverted its normal aquamarine color and the serpent tail had appeared once more. Mavislin was confused when she was hugged tightly by Ysabeau, who was missing a wing.
”That's enough... You are strong, my little Valkyrie proved me wrong... You don't need to be corrupted to prove me wrong. Your Slayer already beat my expectations,” cried Ysabeau as she stroked her baby's c.h.e.s.tnut locks.
”You really made her worried, Valkyrie,” said Gillian as the two slowly descended back onto the grass floor.
”She made everyone worried,” said Raiyen, heaving a sigh of relief.
