Chapter 336 - The Ark Of Moving Forward (1/2)

”I'm sure if dealt early, there would be a way to help your child,” replied Mavislin, remembering that she would constantly check on the newborns at the Old Chapel's village.

”So, you have the power to cure any sickness?” asked Rie, looking at Mavislin with pleading eyes.

”No, I don't. If I do, I don't think I would be here right now. I'd probably be a doctor or some hobbit. But what I am known for is my Enhancement Skills. They are simple spells that were practiced on Valokia. To the rest of the Mages, they only pick it up after their teens.”

”But for Valkyries, because of the number of battles we partake, we hone these skills at a very young age. So, I have nearly perfected simple Enhancements, such as Enhancing one's organs. But I can only help physically, not mentally or in terms of Magecraft.”.

”I used to be in charge of helping newborns at the village near the Old Chapel,” said Mavislin, smiling.

The thought of seeing those children all grown up now made her flutter. They were all so adorable. Some of them had underdeveloped organs and that's where her skills came in. Most were able to adapt properly but others would die a few years after.

Despite that, the villagers never hated her for it, so she was one lucky Mage. Instead, they showered her with tokens of gratitude by making stuffed toys for her, despite the Old Chapel making so much for her. And she kept them all. It became a tradition of some sort.

When a baby is born, Mavislin would be invited to check on the baby. To see if there is any illness or physical disability. Once done and all is well, the parents would give her a stuffed toy to say thanks. But if the child dies, later on, Mavislin returns the toy by placing it at the child's grave.

It would signify that she didn't deserve such a token for failing to do her duties. But, the parents would not know about this and the Valkyrie continued with her life.

”I see... I wished I would have known you first,” said Rie, softly.

Bryan tapped on Mavislin's shoulder.

”Mavislin, I think we'd better get a move-on. The area is heavily guarded and we've made quite the ruckus. We have to get going,” suggested Bryan.

Mavislin nodded and stood up, leaving the girl on the floor.

”We've got a few areas to check before we can meet with Ysabeau and Gab at the dėsɨrėd area. I'm well aware that this place is small compared to the other area. But, we can't let ourselves go,” stated Mavislin, looking at Bryan with a changed expression.
