"You aren"t strong enough to throw the spell yet. We are going someplace else to help you master it," instructed Raiyen, using Time Ripper.He slashed the blade in mid-air, causing a huge gap in the sky. The Void was soon replaced by a landscape filled golden gra.s.s.
"Great, the couple has left me alone," complained Baldwin, readying his staff.
As two more beings continued to make their way there, a third contestant has decided to show his face. Meanwhile, Baldwin and the Poisoned Pond continued to dish out attacks against each other.
"Looks like my boss is here," smirked Old Man Pond, looking at the ma.s.s pile of purple mist just over a heap of dead bodies.
"So is mine," replied Baldwin as he felt cold.
"Never thought I would be so happy to feel the chill from Igor," whispered the Angry Man.
"Flames of the Phoenix, Waters of the Kraken. Wind of the Griffin, Land of the Gargoyle. Light of the Angel, the darkness of the h.e.l.l hound. These are the foundations of the world..."
Within the darkness, a handful of Kunais soared through and landed around the Commander. Baldwin smiled as Old Man Pond tried to escape from the circle that trapped him in. The Kunais started to glow in different colors.
"Oasis of the Elements!" yelled the master of ice and stars, arriving with the Headmaster.
Old Man Pond laughed as he threw another attack towards the trio.
"Adhere to my plea. Forge the protection I demand. Howling winds. Corrupt flora. Black Lotus Of The Storm!" yelled the Headmaster, throwing up a black flower to absorb the poison.
"I am quite honored, fighting against the mighty trio. Isn"t it unfair for the couple to leave the battle to their parents?" asked Old Man Pond, smiling.
"It isn"t if they are going to come back," said Headmaster, throwing his cloak away.
"Aren"t you going to introduce us to your new best friend?" asked Baldwin, folding his arms across his chest.
The two allies went towards the Angry Man, ready to aid him. The shadow man that had appeared within the Husks trudged towards the four beings in the battle. Z was petrified as he began to remember what monster was capable of producing such an Aura.
"What is this place?" asked Nova, as the family approached the area.
"Old Valokia, my home," stated Mavislin, looking around.
the sighed, taking in the old scent of home.
"This place should be locked, separate from the main Time Stream of this area. You should be having memories of the area and the people around here," explained Raiyen, as the orange ground and evening purple skies met the family.
Mavislin, comfortable with the training grounds, began to stretch out her wings. As she grew into full form, her daughter and husband could only stare at her in awe. Her wings increased in number as she transformed. Now, four shining pairs of wings stood out in full glory.
Her hair remained white but her legs had changed into serpent"s tail. Her hands were now like the claws of a dragon. Her size was downright terrifying.
"So that"s how a fully mature Valkyrie looks like?" asked Raiyen, mouth slight agape.
Mavislin lowered her head slightly, before rising once again, snout pointed towards the sky. She then let out a huge howl, causing minor tremors on the ground that they were standing on. There was a reason why Valkyries are the most powerful beings across the Universe.
"Great, I had no clue I was related to a dragon," said Nova, trying to stand back up.
"Believe me, dragons are nowhere the size of Valokian babies," commented Raiyen.
"I hope I won"t turn into that."
"With my genes in you, I highly doubt so."
Nova held her hands, prepared to soak in all the memories of the area that she was in. Her mind was once again put to the test, enduring all the memories. Though Raiyen had told her that there was a way to master the spell, she"d still needed to pay up the price.
She wanted the spell to work, with or without the payment. Victory does not come without a cost. After all, to break someone else"s mind, you need a strong mind to do the job. As the Trio continued to battle it out with the Poisoned Pond, the shadow soon came to join the show.
"The source of the Corrupt Aura," said Baldwin, retreating slightly.
With a flick of the wrist, the being threw an onslaught of dead bodies towards the Trio. In an instant, the group was separated, spreading towards different directions.
"Meet the Corrupt Valkyrie," said Old Man Pond, gently patting the being on the shoulder.
"So, when am I going to meet my twin?" asked the being, coming out from the shadows.
