Road to Valhalla Chapter 54: They Came At Night
The thunderstorm rattled the glass pane in Faye's bedroom. The storm wasn't just brewing outside, it was about to sneak into her house as well. She held Louis in her arms as he was still a baby. Aloïs sat wrapped around her arm, watching his little brother. The lights were all out but none of the three were afraid of the dark. They had always found it comforting. Faye could hear loud voices coming from outside that kept getting louder. There was fighting and bloodshed just below her room. But she stayed glued to her kids and didn't flinch even a bit. She knew in her heart that this attack wasn't like the ones before. These people weren't some politics goons, here to destroy the sole heir of the Valentine family. She knew it somewhere deep down, from the voices and from the way things happened that this time was different. These people weren't something that would leave before their work here was done. She looked at her kids, carving their faces in her memory. She held them close, fe
Road to Valhalla Chapter 55: Sun Rises in Every World
The sun was starting to come up. I suppose it wanted to see the climax of that long harrowing struggle which to me, felt like a ruse we've been playing on ourselves. I wonder if I was the only one who felt like that. Chopper was there and like always, he knew something that the rest of us hadn't managed to realize. I'd been having that feeling for a while now and I know I was right. Sight was somewhere back there too. His presence always eluded me. I can't tell you what he looked like in that moment. As for Lady, I know she was there. But she seemed so distant as if none of this mattered to her. What the consequences would be, was none of her concern. To be blunt, and it makes me sad to say so, she didn't care.Deli and Magnus were locked with each other, each impaling the heart of the other. I had lost movement in my body, I even forgot to breathe. I can't quite remember what I was like in that moment."You'll kill me?", Magnus's voice broke the utter silence, "You...are superior?"H
Road to Valhalla Chapter 56: Deception 101
When I came to my senses, I was buried in insects who truly seemed to be out for my blood. I found Chopper in an even worse predicament. He was dying beneath a huge pile of leeches that were sucking out what little blood he had left. I later looked for Sight who was entertaining himself with the battle of some stray beetles. I had to remind him he was supposed to take us home."Oh, boy!", he acted like he totally hadn't forgotten about my existence, "We are home, alright. I brought us back to the present. Ah, you must have forgotten, boy, that we were in the past."He then went on to laugh heartily and when he was done, he went back to his roaming. I had to remind him of Chopper before he decided it might not be altogether bad if we headed home for real.I wanted to ask him if he had seen Felix's body but then I refrained from asking anything."In any case, Sight, who called Lady here anyway?", I asked while we were walking back. Sight was carrying Chopper on his back, something Chopp
Road to Valhalla Chapter 57: Shopping with Lady
"That was a bit...", she was gasping for air, "...unexpected, huh?""Lady...", I answered as I lay dying on my back, short on oxygen and legs feeling like they had melted, "You are crazy."We were in the middle of nowhere, under a thick tree that was shedding its fall leaves, I could barely recognize the place. So how had we ended up in this situation, drenched in a liter of sweat despite the cold autumn winds and no apparent dog chasing us? Well, that's because we had left the dogs behind.This morning, as I sat calmly in my little bunker that peeked outside through its singular window (a shaft in its wall really), I sipped on my hot, seemingly tasteless coffee. I put down my mug and stared at the flower pot that now housed a tiny cactus. I realized I don't like cactuses. For such a calm, bland, utterly static morning, I was having an unsettling feeling, a premonition that this day was about to get quite stormy. And what do you know, I was right.It began with a knock on my door. "L
Road to Valhalla Chapter 58: Killing Old Friends
"Alright Seraph, do you notice something odd here?""Lady, please don't ignore what I said. We're not going through with this. I'm not doing this", she seemed to be on the roll, ignoring me."Take a closer look at the cops, that's who I'm talking about. Ah, but don't take too long. We are running out of time, 'kay?""Lady...you aren't listening to me, are you?""Nope", well now she was.I sighed, knowing it was useless. I looked at the cops, trying to find something out of the ordinary but before I could say anything, she dragged me by my arm and led me to a side.We were now trespassing into the backyard of the adjacent building. I figured she intended to cross over to the bank. There must have been some sort of a backdoor that she intended to break down. Well, I suppose, nothing wrong with saving a couple of civilians, even if we were committing an offence right now. In any case, it was astonishing how sneaky she was. I was rather surprised that we managed to make our way to the ban
Road to Valhalla Chapter 59: Just Another Morning
"Lady", I asked as we were gasping like dying fishes in the middle of nowhere, "Do you believe in God?"It was probably not even humanly possible to run this fast and this far. But there we were, though on the brink of death, but for now very much alive too."Seraph", she didn't look my way, she was too busy catching her breath, "That's personal."I wanted to ask her if she didn't think this was a miracle. We should have been dead. We really should have been.We had been surrounded in the bank, our hands raised in the air and some dozen cops pointing their guns at our heads, not to mention the dead bodies in that small bank.That was before the roof of the bank caved in. I don't know how we actually managed to get out of there. It was all Lady's doing. I later learned that the place had been rigged. I suppose the thugs intended to blow the place up after they were done there. Lady knew of it. She had taken the trigger from Iori's corpse just before the cops made in. If not for the exp
Road to Valhalla Chapter 60: The Bloody Fall
"Major", she was still mulling over the map of the area when a soldier barged in. She didn't like the intrusion. For her, maps were hard enough to read on their own, a disturbance like this was absolutely unwelcomed."What do you want, soldier?", she suppressed her annoyance."You've got a call, sir", he answered before hurrying outside.She sighed. That map was definitely not helping her, she rolled it aside and headed outside. The chilly winds hit her face, she knew it was going to snow."Major!", she hadn't reached the telephone yet."What's the matter?", the whole camp was in a hassle, she looked around confused."Central says they can't send rations. The whole pass is blocked. There's been an avalanche and the signal's lost. We can't get through", she read the worry, the informant wore on his face.She silently went back to her bunker. She walked to and fro, trying to figure things out."Send the Captain", she instructed a soldier.Soon, a tall young man walked inside."Major.""
Road to Valhalla Chapter 61: Iris Bergmeier
"Lady, is that the reason you killed Bardock? For revenge?", I asked as we were returning home."That's different, Seraph. All the people responsible for that incident are already dead. Bloody Fall happened because people were careless. They underestimated what the enemy was capable of. That's the general story, anyway.""The general story?"She nodded, "Naturally, even the stratocracy needs to answer to the people sometimes. This is the story they gave out, weather conditions, bad luck, whatnot. Some officers were removed from their offices and laid off. I suppose that seemed enough to some. All those that died, like I said before, aren't coming back.""It seems to me that you think Iori was right", I looked sternly at her as we walked on."I do think so, in fact. Bloody Fall was a conspiracy.""Then, Lady, ", I asked, "Why did you kill Iori? You could have let him escape empty handed, couldn't you?""He killed the caretaker of that so-called bank, didn't you see? That person wasn't
