Valkyrie Black Chapter 136: Bank Auditor
Valkyrie took a long breath, staring that the floor. “It is finished. He died to quick for my liking, but he died badly none the less.” Maggie sat back and nodded. “Good.” Then she thought better of her statement and visibly cringed. “I should be encouraging you to do such actions.” Another thought seemed to cross her mind and she squeezed Valkyrie’s hand, “You will not get in trouble for that will you?” Val chuckled to herself. She highly doubted anyone would charge her for that death, and infact she had not been the one to kill him. However, there was quite the trail of broken bodied all the way around Parcia that were her doing. Between the 25 dead here in Durres, the numerous pirate deaths, the several dead assassins, and any others she had lost count of, if someone wanted they could get something to stick in a courtroom. But so far as she knew, she was free and clear so far. “No court is going to look into a deplorable like Barclay. As far as the world will ever know, he disap
Valkyrie Black Chapter 137: Poison Fruit
Hank Silverton tensed as he stared at the two women with growing fear. “So the rumors of a Reaper are true.”Valkyrie looked dumbly at the man, “Did you think the twenty bodies that lined the bank of the river a few months ago were fake?”Hank swallowed hard, “Look, I didn’t know the businesses were yours. I just got word from Mr. Nyx of the change of ownership. He didn’t specify who, just that it was going from private control to guild control. I was just doing as we always do.”“So you will cease all such activity?” Val asked pointedly.“Well, I mean that is a lot of money… I am sure I can cut you in on a percentage of-”He was cut short when Val reached up, grabbed a full fist of his hair and slammed his face down into the table.“Wrong answer.”“Ow! Bitch, you didn’t have to do that. We were negotiating!” Hank cried out as he clutched his bleeding nose.“You are about to be negotiating with my blade in your neck.”“Ok, ok. Give me a list of your businesses and I will make sure to
Valkyrie Black Chapter 138: new orders
“Not to worry, Lady Black. Maggie send along plenty to share,” Chef Brown said, quickly replacing the stolen pastry from the seemingly endless basket. Val stuck her tongue out at Alexa before enjoying her own breakfast. Afte the eggs and grits were served, Chef Brown bowed formally and asked, “Should I plan on preparing lunch or dinner today?” Alexa looked to Val who shrugged, “Don’t worry about lunch. I am sure we can find something out. But I think Dinner would be good.” “Just two, or should I prepare for more guests?” “Where is Samiel?” Alexa asked dubiously. “Likely skulking around but we should likely plan on him for dinner. Chef, go ahead and prepare forat least five. I have a few people to visit with this morning and I will send word depending on if Captain Talwater and his crew arrive today,” Val said. “Talwater? He wouldn’t be the captain of that big ship that was spotted off the port this morning would he? I think they called it the Sea Banshee? All the dockhands and m
Valkyrie Black Chapter 139: Adriel Spark
Valkyrie said goodbye to Maggie and told Talwater and Jonah to meet at the estate for dinner before dismissing them.Alexa followed her back to the estate house, oddly silent as she kept her thoughts to herself.“What are you thinking?” Val finally asked as they entered the house.“That you seem to have decent plans for the betterment of everyone you have claimed. That while you have clearly killed your way to the top, you have improved the lives or are in the process of improving the lives of each one of your guild members, from the lowest street kid to the more seasoned pirates. Each is getting what they need to be loyal. Training for the young ones, new careers for many in the middle and gold for the seasoned criminals.”“And? If I am going to claim responsibility for them, is that not what I should be doing?” Val asked.“Not many in power would be so considerate.”“And those who believed that way are now dead. What of it?” Val asked, still confused.“You may be dark and jaded, but
Valkyrie Black Chapter 140: Dinner at the Estate
Valkyrie placed the newly formed spark into a small box and left it in the trunk on her office. A new Spark was no simple matter and was not something you just hand to someone like a trophy. Val understood at a deep level that this was to be a scared thing, and likely one done in private.There was no need to rush it, and Val was not about to announce to everyone at her dinner party that sparks could once again be created and that she had the secret to their making.When she made her way down stairs, the smells from the kitchen made her mouth water. Chef Brown was clearly hard at work. In the formal dining room, Alexa was sitting across from Jonah and Farson, each of whom had a man to either side of them that Valkyrie didn’t recognize.When she entered behind Alexa, the men all stood.“Gentlemen, sit. No need to stand on formalities. Has Captain Talwater arrived?”There was a knock at the door then, and one of the kitchen staff scurried out at answer it. Captain Talwater stepped insid
Valkyrie Black Chapter 141: Activating Adriel
“That is an interesting idea, I will have to think about that… but no. What you hold in your hand is more valuable than all the casino chips in all of Parcia combined.”Alexa gave her a dubious look. “All? Come now, Valkyrie. This thing is tiny. Your mark on it is cool and all but its still just a metal chuck. What can it possibly have? Maybe a fourth ounce of gold and silver? Maybe worth a hundred dret at most?”“Alexa, what you hold in your hand is the first Spark created in two thousand years,” Valkyrie said reverently.“Spark?” Alexa’s eye’s went wide as she hastily placed the little disk gently back in its box. “Where did you get a spark? Who did you kill for that?”“Alexa, listen to what I said.”Alexa played the words over in her mind again and then whispered, “Made? Val, you truly have the secret to making sparks? Samiel was right?”“It would seem so. I made this one for you.” Valkyrie said. “Its name is Adriel.”“Its name? Sparks have names?”“Yes, Alexa. Haven’t you heard me
Valkyrie Black Chapter 142: Wings Of Destiny
~Several Weeks later~ Valkyrie grinned and she circled Alexa in the newly retrofitted training room on the lower level of the guild Estate. Alexa was armored as if she was going to war and her green eyes flashed with bottled rage as she charged at Valkyrie, a dull practice sword whipping over head in a powerful downward chop that could have cleaved a lesser opponent in half. As it was, Val was fast enough to slide to the side, catching the blade on her own sword and deflecting its deadly power just a fraction of an inch to her right. Valkyrie swept her leg and caught Alexa high on her calf, just behind the knee. Alexa lost her balance for only a second before the new strength of her spark was able to reinforce her stance and blunt the effects of the kick. Alexa grunted from the slight pain and slashed her sword back, trying to catch Valkyrie across her neck. Valkyrie loved sparring with Alexa. The woman had always been fast and never held back. It pushed Valkyrie to new limits tha
Valkyrie Black Chapter 143: Go Big or Go Home
Valkyrie made her way over to the table, intentionally swaying a bit as she sipped from her rum. She had to actually pause before the chair and look at the glass, before turning back to the bartender and holding up her glass, “That is amazing!”The barkeep inclined his head with a slight smile as Valkyrie took her seat at the poker table.“Shall I deal you in, miss?” the dealer asked.“Whats the game? You might have to explain it to me.”“This is a 100 dret buy in. it might be a bit steep for a beginner. I can direct you to one of the one dret tables if you like,” The deal said apologetically.“No, No. whats a few dret. I am here for a good time and having some real skin in the game will make sure I learn my lessons quick. Just explain it to me and we will see where we end up,” Val said, her words slightly slurring.In truth, liquor of any kind rarely effected her for long. That, coupled with her spark, Val was confident she could beat her own house as well as any one else at the tabl

Authors note
Dear Readers, This has been one wild adventure and I am blessed to have been able to share it with you. This tale has now come to a conclusion and my contract for this book has run its 6-month course. It has been a long road, and so far its been a great experience. Valkyrie Black has some amazing readers but as we come to the end of this season, it will take a lot for my editor to be ready to sign an extension contract. While Valkyrie has a 10 star rating and amazing reviews, it just isnt where it needs to be right now as far as views. other books released in the same contest managed to get 3-5x as many views and subscribers. Sadly that means that for now, it just isnt resonating with the meganovel audience or, remains undiscovered. Hopefully, we will see Valkyrie again in the future but kinda like Tinkerbell, the readers will have to clap really loud to get my editor's attention to authorize a new season of this online exclusive novel.

Chapter 159: Sea and Sky
The next day:Cade stood before the Watch Commander, Captain Argus, and Centurion Horen.“Final count is 158 men still fit for duty, 280 dead and 62 seriously injured. Most of the able bodies were among those that were holding the wall with crossbows. Those on the field rarely survived if they fell. Seven of the twelve knights are dead. I am sorry Captain Argus.”“They were good men, and died serving Suria in the greatest battle of their day.” Argus said, head bowed in grief.“What of our heroine and her friend?” the watch commander asked.“Healer Guerrero is still examining them. They, along with the twenty men that were in quads are still in strange shape. It seems that Captain Argus and I were more correctly disengaged from the quad mind, where Valkyrie and Alexa were not released from that. They remain in sword form.”“And that scath prince and the fire woman? What of them?” Cap

Chapter 158: The Battle of Uthril
Fire erupted across the field as two spectra ingus sent balls of flaming death at a company of one hundred rune blade warriors. They were not part of a quad, but had the courage to charge the enemy as a team. The fireballs exploded in their midst, vaporizing five to eight men near the center and badly injuring those around them. Val pointed to the spectra scath and ordered a team of crossbowmen to fire. A hail of fifty deadly bolts shot out across the field. The fire scath threw up a wall of heat that deflected many of the bolts as their feathers melted off and their flight path went crazy. Thankfully, several still managed to find their target and the two fire scath were reduced to streamers of dark ichor. {Losses?} [50 silverbloods dead, 75 wounded. 375 still fighting fit.] came the robotic reply. Shit. This was just getting started and they were already down over 1/5th of their force. While the men were fighting admirably, each taking many scath with them before they died,

Chapter 157: Quad Defense
[System analysis complete.][Triskele defense system.][ Down-loading defense matric][ Defensive system available]The schematics began to flood Valkyrie’s mind and she began to grasp what was to happen.A commanding elite spark was to station themselves here on the tower. Warrior Sparks would take up position on the twelve pedestals below. Then average silverblood warriors could position themselves in teams of three around each knight.The Triskele was a hive mind and created a quad squad, one primary warrior with three swords. The central warriors spark would then take command of the entire unit, moving them in such tandem that it was beyond human understanding.They would no longer be individual soldiers and would have no will of their own. In that state, every fiber of being would belong to the quad. No self interest would exist or sense of self preservation. It would simply exist fulfil one directive, defend the fort as a

Chapter 156: Triskele
Valkyrie knew very little of the politics of Suria. She had dealt with the soldiers at fort Lorilis and her position as a Spark blessed as well as a student of Morgessa had given her some level of privilege or notoriety but she had never been in the chain of command, answering only to Morgessa and Desmond as mentors.Now, she had chosen to be bold and play on the myths and legends as she knew them. The Elite spark were renowned and the power of ones spark dictated a lot about a persons position in Surian society.However, She was not part of that hierarchy, at least not in the past few hundred years.Repeating what she had said before, she replied “I am General Valkyrie, Avatar of Azrael, First Spark of the Ori. You WILL arm your men and assemble the knights of this fortress. You have fifteen minutes to address the garrison and prepare for battle.”“Or what? Valkyrie General of the Ori? Girl, you are invoking the gods and your blasphemy

Chapter 155: Prepare
Cade turned to follow his centurion and Alexa up the stairs when he suddenly froze. It was just him and Valkyrie in the room. Well, Al-Lune snored his way through a log on the cot but otherwise they were alone.“You said Alexa was now Spark blessed… you called her Shadow slayer, or hunter… How? Who did you kill to take an elite spark from? Val, if you did kill those hunters and stole their spark,” he paused, trying to collect his thoughts, “I will kill you myself if you put her in danger like that. A stolen spark with a death sentence and she will be hunted the rest of her day’s till the council sees justice. Theft of a spark is one crime they will not tolerate at any level.”“How big is the bounty?” Val asked casually.“The bounty is sizable but Val, there is a whole order of hunter sparks that see it as a religious duty to hunt such traitors. The official sanction is all they need to pursue their in

“What? No! raise the alarm! The scath will be here any time!” Val yelled. “We saw no scath! You were standing there, and now the Commander has been shot! Healers! To the commanders! Guards, take these two to the brig until we can arrange transport back to Suria for trial.” Al Lune ordered. Val was seized by two large men and she watched as Alexa was also grabbed, “No! Lune! At Least sent out scouts! Go find the bodies of Carlson and his buddy!” “Yes, Yes. We will need the bodies of the other men these two have killed. Go send someone to collect the evidence of their treason against Suria.” “Bloody fuckin hell you are dense. Sound general quarters! There is a huge army of scath heading this way!” Val screamed as she was hauled into the fortress. While she might be able to fight one or two, where would she escape to? By now, scath would be blocking the mountain passage, and the only other way to go is through the fort to Suria! The soldiers around her looked worried and glanced over

Chapter 153: Commander Grant
A gunshot range out as the men got within shouting distance, the horse on the right going down hard in a heap. Its rider lept free and started running towards them.“Fuck that was impressive.” Val said as she swung down off her horse and drew her rune blade. “Possessor Scath. I see four.”The approaching man on horse back looked hard at them but nodded as they stepped aside and let him ride on. His companion rushed up to them on foot.“For Suria, will you help me hold them off? Carlson must get through and warn the watch commander!”“We will! We came to warn the commander too!” Alexa declared.Another gunshot sounded and Val spun to see the rider named Carlson slump off his horse and crash to the ground.“FUCK! For Suria!” The other man said as he drew his own rune blade and took position near Valkyrie.The four possessed mercenaries crashed into them with a ferocity Val had only seen in her worst thrasher fights. Thankfully with a skilled hunter and Alexa by her side, the three on fo

Chapter 152: Fire
“That or the scath that created that vortex killed everyone off.” Valkyrie replied somberly.There didn’t seem to be scath around but they had been in the previous town. Maybe they were massing somewhere nearby.“Its dark, and this trunk is heavy. Lets go to the inn and then we can see about getting a different pack, maybe some hiking packs and ship the rest of this back to Durres.” Alexa suggested.They made their way to the inn and lugged the trunk up the steps of the one building in town that had any light sources. As they pushed the door up, an innkeeper came around the counter to greet them.“Ah, I didn’t expect anyone this evening. You from Vintas?” the innkeeper asked, then his eyes went wide, “You two ok? You look like you were run over by a herd of horses!”“Accident on the way here. Got caught in a tornado. As for where we are from, Durres,” Valkyrie replied.“Impressive you made it this far. Come on in. lets get you taken care of. KATE!” The innkeep called to a teen age gir
