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
Valkyrie Black Chapter 144 Craps
Valkyrie pointed at the table. “I won a round or two.” Alexa looked at the cards and burst out in laughter, “Don’t tell me you bluffed that guy out of half a million on a pair of twos. Damn woman, I knew you liked to live dangerous but serious? Twos?” “He was an arrogant ass. I was doing him a favor taking that money off him. He would have made other poor decisions with it tonight if I hadn’t removed those means.” Val replied in a mock defensive tone. “well I suppose smashing open the doors with his head was likely a better use of it than he was getting out of it. He did challenge the queen of the underworld after all.” Alexa replied. “So how did you do with your 100 dret? Play anything fun?” “Aside from playing heartstrings, I was a good girl. I only helped others place their bets,” Alexa said. “Helped them place bets?” Val asked curiously. “You know, this spark,” Alexa whispered, “its amazing. I can calculate things so fast now. So, when probability was good, I might have sugg
Valkyrie Black Chapter 145: small changes
Valkyrie then remembered her ability to connect with those she marked.{Broadcast Communication.}{All REAPERS in Durres, seek out information and report on anything found. Who set this fire, and where they are presently. Reports due by morning at the guild house.}“that is a rather nifty, yet annoying ability.” Alexa said beside her.“Hu?”“You just broadcast that thought right into my head.” Alexa replied.“Oh, right. I likely could have excluded you from that,” Val said apologetically.“Think they will find anything out?”Val rubbed her face, still feeling the heat from the fire even 100 meters away. “they will find anything that there is to find. But that fire will have destroyed most of the evidence. Come, we will let them minions of the night do what they do best. Tomorrow will be soon enough to start rebuilding.”That night, Valkyrie didn’t sleep well. Her dreams were wrapped in thick smoke as faces of the dead or dying came at her from the depths of her subconscious.How many
Valkyrie Black Chapter 146: Midtown Luck
That evening, Valkyrie stepped out of her room with her fiery red hair on full display she had opted for a more feminine black dress made from a thin and supple leather instead of her usual armored corset and reinforced pants.It would be strange going into a potentially hostile casino with so little in the way of defense and a lack of weapons. However, she was never truly without weapons. She always had her wrist blade and hidden in her hair was a assortment of small knives, sharpened hair pins and a few vials of various poisons.One that she was most proud of was a small vial with tiny pills in it. Each pill was sigil signed to activate under two conditions. First it had to be in contact with stomach acid and second was a mental command from her to actively release the ingredients. She would likely need to be within a few feet to trigger this, but is was something she could trick Tobi to ingest earlier in the evening and then use it if they happened to have a meeting later in the ev
Valkyrie Black Chapter 147: Embrace Azrael
The enforcer led her to a back room where a man sat in a high backed chair facing the back wall. “Hello, Tobi. You wanted to see me?” “Red hair is not going to hid you from me,” said a familiar voice. “Hold her tight, Grayson. That one is spark blessed too.” Val felt the vice like grip of a spark reinforced hand clamp down on her arms and then wrenched her hands behind her back. TOO? Val thought furiously, trying to understand the situation. The man at the desk spun his chair slowly and the cold eyes of the assassin Darius looked back at her. “You murderous bitch have taken so much from me.” “You were the ones who attacked me first! I never did anything to the assassins guild, yet you continued to hunt me. And for want? A few dret? I could have paid that fee easily had you stopped and asked.” Val was a bit panicked now that she was nearly certain the enforcer behind her was a spark blessed. With his weight and height, he might just be more than she could handle alone. Not to me
Valkyrie Black Chapter 148: Adriel's review
A scream from outside the office drew their attention to the door. Blood from the corpses had seeped under the door and into the hall.“Shit. We need to not be here. The city watch will be alerted any minute.” Val said, looking to the window. “There, lets go.”She stumbled to the window, her arm still not wanting to work correctly. The window opened on its own and Val saw Samiel holding out a hand to her.“Bastard.”“Think what you will but I was still near by.”“Near by wouldn’t have stopped them from killing us.” Alexa spat as she climbed thought the window.“I was near enough that I could have acted had it become necessary. I had full faith in Valkyrie’s abilities and you have shown a knack for handling yourself up to now.” Samiel replied to Alexa.“Your still a bastard. I should geld you and feed it to the fish.” Val said sadistically. As they made their way down the street.Whistles sounded as the city guard began running from various parts of the city. As neared high street un u
Valkyrie Black Chapter 149: Fort Uthril Training
Valkyrie tried to imagine what it would have taken to use such a weapon in that situation but while it was an option, she knew deep down that it would have been a waste of precious scath units.“Adriel, we have both fought many scath, but almost always one or two at a time. If Allocen is massing an army, how would we fight such?”“Battlefield?”“Fort Uthril.”The world shifted to a mountain pass that opened out to the north of the barrier mountains. Unlike the valley that was situated before Fort Lorilis, Uthril was near the bottom of the mountains. High passes reached thousands of feet over head and the fort itself was little more than a ten foot wall carved out of the rock of the mountain. A low two story keep sat at the back of the wall with a small garrison made of the same stone. It was less than impressive if Valkyrie was honest.Lorilis was built into the mountain and it would be near impossible for any army to get through. Uthril was set near the middle of the mountains, and t
Valkyrie Black Chapter 150: Worry
The next morning, Valkyrie awoke sore and mentally exhausted. Unlike when she had trained with Lilith before her big fight with Vex, she had not had the luxury of a day of rest for her body at the end of the training.It still amazed her that dream training with a spark could wear the body down so drastically. Such training had saved her life in the past, but after she had seen the rigor and devastation of total war, she wasn’t sure she or Alexa would make it out of this one.Chef Brown was already making breakfast when she arrived down stairs.“Chef, expect a few more to arrive.”“Of course, I can easily make more. Any idea how many I should be prepared for?”“At least four, plus Alexa.”“Very good miss.”It was just a few minutes more before Farson and his second arrived, followed quickly by Jonah and his second.Valkyrie spent a few minutes going over her immediate plans for them. They were to help Maggie build a new bakery and a storage warehouse as soon as possible. In addition,
