“I accept.” The Valkyrie says as she steels her resolve, her thoughts. “I’ve been beaten by the gods ever since became a Valkyrie. At least the number of abusers will reduce.” She bows on one knee, this makes a really dramatic scene of a knight swearing loyalty to his lord. In this case a Valkyrie to a little girl.Twenny waves it off, “Enough with those stuffy formalities.” The Valkyrie makes a dumb face, “My oath is tossed away so easily!” Twenny looks around the Divine realm, “I want you to convince the armies of these gods to serve me, I don’t need all of them but just enough for show.” Twenny looks at the Valkyrie bowing below her as she fidgets, Twenny sighs. “If you’ve got something to say then say it.”The Valkyrie is surprised as her thoughts, “She’s allowing me to share my thoughts?” She looks down as she speaks, “M…May I know why you need the armies? With your strength you don’t need anyone.”Twenny nods, “Stand.” The Valkyrie stands as she continues, “Indeed I don’t need a

The group would travel in the day, camp at night and continue. This went on for a week until finally, a soldier says, “LOOK! WE’LL BE ARRIVING SOON.” There it is, the capital of Zolkia. Despite being a small kingdom, it is walled with farms outside the walls. There’s an aqueduct carrying water across the city as outlets are made into wells. The houses are arranged in a confusing way so you’d have to make many turns before reaching the castle at the center. Before the city is another group of people including soldiers returning from the monster tide and travelers. The people are arranged into 2 long lines, one for travelers and the other for soldiers. The soldiers confirm their identities and enter without paying anything so that line is faster. The carriage carrying the quartet and the Duchess drive outside the lines straight to the gate.A Silver Crow soldier steps up to the guards, “Duchess Zephan requests entry into Zolkia.”The guards at the gate are startled, they

The teacher sees the maid and give a wry smile, “Looks like we overdid it.” He stretches his at the maid as rune circles appear below the maid, she wakes up and notices the puddle below her. She blushes in embarrassment then Twenny also stretch her hands, runes appear below the maid as the puddle vanishes, she’s made clean again.Twenny smiles, “Don’t worry, we’ll forget everything that happened.” The maid nods and knocks on the door, the door opens to reveal a huge hall filled with judgmental nobles in expensive clothes. Twenny eyes flash across the room, “Aww shet, here we go again.”The teacher chuckles, “You never did like political figures, little sister.” His words shocked everyone present as their jaws drop.Twenny takes a step into the room, “Not one bit.” The teacher follows her into the hall, it takes the others a few seconds to follow.The hall has a red carpet at the center of the room leading to the throne, the stage before the throne is wide raised up by a stair so all t

Flint, Aku and Chuck spend the night at Aella’s mansion, it’s a pretty big mansion. Blue with garden, gates and mansion stuff. Anyway, the trio gathered in a hall in Aella’s mansion with her present. They’re discussing what to do next.Flint starts the discussion, “Teacher said to go west from Avua, from her tone it seems she wouldn’t be joining us.”Chuck is sitting beside Aella as he turns to Flint, “Why’s that?”Aku is sitting beside Flint and waves a letter before them, “Twenny gave me this and said to read it later. I did and it seems she has something to do so she’ll be gone for a while.”Chuck is curious, “Did she say anything about what or why she’s leaving?”Aku shakes her head, “She just gave me this short letter and left. I didn’t notice anything strange about her so I think it’s nothing for us to worry about.”Flint nods, “Yes, we should already know that it was a coincidence she came to Avua. She said she was here for a purpose but chose to be wi

Flint and Aku climb up mountain from mountain searching for the dragon cave, Chuck stayed back with Aella since she seems a bit shaken. The duo is climbing the mountain as they’re close to the top, they hang from the steep slope.Flint snickers at Aku as they reach the top of the last mountain, “Still no cave Aku. Maybe you should have thought of splitting the dragon corpse but noooo. You wanted a treasure cave.” Aku has veins popping on her head as she’s silently climbing. They finally reach the top as Aku freezes. Flint finally pulls himself up to see what lies before him. He speaks with exasperation, “You’ve got to be kidding me.”Aku turns to Flint with disdain, “A dragon corpse is better than this, right?” Before them is a gold statue of a man holding a club? He holds the club on a pedestal as orbs are around the top of the pedestal below his feet. Beside the statue is a pile of shiny treasures, gold coins and chests (Poor merchants), weapons (Who got raided?) and
