The Arks

Within a flash, her legs were half-submerged in water. Behind, a roaring waterfall was covered by mist at its base. All around was aquamarine, with lush greenery wrapped on the rocks supporting the waterfall. The waterfall looked as if it was snow, only pure white was gushing down. On top of one of the rocks, sat a very excited Raiyen. The group caught up, an hour later.

"So, what have you guys have installed for me?"

"I would need you to gather all your element of water," explained Z, looking at the glittering water.

"A rather difficult task to fulfill," said Mavislin, as she gathered all her energy.

"You"ll be fine. Besides, you are a born Penta Holder, be proud of that!" said Raiyen, bustling with positive mental att.i.tude.

"Yea, apart from being that, you"re also a Water Main! Don"t worry," said Z, in an attempt to bolster the poor girl"s confidence.

"And so are you! And this is a whole lot of water to gather up. And I"m supposed to be a Light Mage!"

Mavislin reasoned with the rest, as she was crushed with dread.

"Calm down, you can do it. Just concentrate, clear your mind and converge all your power to make this weapon come alive," advised Z as he tried destroying Mavislin"s thoughts of fear.

Didn"t work as the poor girl"s hands were still trembling. Despite the sweaty palms, she tried steadying herself. Breathe in, breathe out. Soon, streams of water were slowly rising from around the Valkyrie. She had her eyes closed but knew the water streams were moving in accordance to her dancing fingers.

"Say out the first part of the incantation!" shouted the Ice Wizard.

Everyone backed away from sight. She took another deep breath and clasped her hands together.

"All waves rise and become my shield. From depths of Okeanos, grant me the protection of the waves. Ruled by Neptune, son of Poseidon, the G.o.d of the sea. The lost legend, Lord Atlantia!" yelled out Mavislin.

Nothing happened, which prompted her to open her eyes.

"A bit too powerful for me to use," she replied, sadly.

Raiyen hopped towards the girl, trying to comfort her. But he was forcefully pushed back as the water around the Valkyrie split in half in an instant. As the water streams came back once more, they formed up a huge shield. Despite it being a mirage, the symbol of Atlantis was prominent in the heart of the shield, shining bright aquamarine.

"Wait for a bit. It should come out now. Try gathering your Elemental Energy and force it upon the shield," instructed Z.

Mavislin nodded, despite being drained half of her energy. As a direct result of an overhaul of Magecraft, a cloud had surrounded Mavislin.

"You sure this is a good idea, Ice Cap?" asked Baldwin, filled with uncertainty.

"I know my student"s capabilities. It"s nowhere near to what I"ve seen," replied Z, trying to hush the Angry Man.

As both Aura and Energy increased, the actual shield came to sight after a huge cloud dispersed. Two huge formations of columns appear on the side, making a stone wall in between the pillars and in front of Mavislin. The symbol once again appeared shining aquamarine on the holographic wall.

First, it changed into a spear. But at its base, it grew a tail that started to curl up towards the tip. The tailfin then merged with the tip of the spear, with the fins sides sprouting two solid streams of aquamarine at opposite sides. This created a circle and end with a triangular tip.

An ax-like shape of solid ice had formed behind the spear and tail while being in the center of the formed hollow circle. The stone and columns were even brighter when the shield is fully formed. The full-fledged Lord Atlantia.

"So this is the true form of my Ancient Relic," replied Mavislin, happily.

She looked around her. The projection was fantastic, but it still posed a problem.

"How do I wield it properly?"

Within a speed of her thoughts, the shield was now at a better shape and form for the Valkyrie to wield it. Correction; it had materialized into a solid form for Mavislin to grasp it easily. The walls that supported the huge show was gone, leaving only the emblem for Mavislin to wield. A sort of ice-cream cone-shaped was left.

"All Ancient Relics are supposed to compliment the style of the user, so Lord Atlantia would be in the form you desire in combat," explained Ysabeau.

"Go behind it and wield it properly," commanded the Lost Mage.

She obeyed instantly and tried to hold it up. It was as light as a feather. Appropriately, Mavislin was confused.

"That"s only the first part, you gotta do the second one now," said Raiyen, glitching around once more.
