Valkyrie Black Chapter 27: Where is Emma?
The four day trip passed without much incident. As they neared the city, Alexa leaned out the carriage window, watching the scenery change. “So, dockside first? What that like?” “It’s docks.” Cade said dryly. Val shrugged in her seat next to Alexa, “It’s salty compared to the mountains. Its been years since I’ve been back. But there is a library, and you have to try Maggie’s cinnamon rolls.” As their carriage crossed the river and homesteads began to appear long the road, Val began to smell the strong salt air she had nearly forgotten about. As the port came into sight, the small of rotting fish also became apparent. She had forgotten about that part. “AW, GAH! It stinks down here! How did you stand it?” Alexa said, her nose scrunching as she closed the window. It didn’t help the smell much, and Val joined her friend in covering her nose with a rag to try to quell the stench. “Please tell me we are not staying down here?” Alexa asked, a look of horror crossing her face at the noti
Valkyrie Black Chapter 28: Discussions
(Later that evening) “No.” Cade said dryly as they sat around a table in the common room of the inn. “No? you seriously are not going to help?” Val asked incredulously. “Look, I get it. Forced labor and all that is bad. I agree. But we are-,” Cade paused and glanced around, likely checking if anyone was listening. Lowering his voice he said, “Val, we are surian. Most of these people don’t even believe our nation exists. It is only our luck that the only thing making us really out of place is our silver blood. We cannot interfere that much.” Val glared at him, “It’s not like we are attacking a city of innocents. I am talking about unseating a nest of filth. We would be doing the people of Parcia a service. And if you don’t want to do all that, then at least help me get Emma out.” Alexa had been quiet this whole time but finally broke her silence, “Val, I am all for helping you get this girl out of that situation. but I have to ask, to what end?” “What do you mean, to what end? To
Valkyrie Black Chapter 29: Follower
The next day, Cade and Alexa split off to find more information about the hosts of the auction and to see if they could find an inventory list. Val decided to take this time to acquire supplies and see if she could find where Emma was being held. Even if she didn’t have a full plan now, she would get the information she needed to form one later.The first Jewelry shop she found had silver, but gold was scarce. The proprietor was kind enough to point her in the direction of the largest dealer in the city. The sign out front read Winston Song Jewlery.Val made her way inside and a tall blonde introduced herself as Nanaka Song. ‘How can I help you today?”Val proceeded to hand over a list of metals and quantities she would need.“I see. Are you wanting investment grade bars or jewelry made from these?”“Bars or cubes would work best.”“I understand. We have several investors who come here for such products, though, its rare to have someone as young as you looking for…” Nanaka paused as s
Valkyrie Black Chapter 30: Misguided plans
Val spent the next few days hunting Scath. This trip she had a huge quota. Not only would it take five units per Follower Spark she wanted to eventually create, but the Sigil Mark’s took two units. Val figured that should would likely need at least two full Follower Sparks to control a guild like Baltazar had suggested. But she would need at least five Sigil marks to tag each of the sect leaders, more if she intended for the whole gang to have them. Val sighed, this was already one trip that would drain most of her funds. Lorenzo had sent them with the typical supplies but with room and board already adding up and the metals she needed she had spent nearly one third of her entire savings, and there would be more expenses in the near future. 35 scath units just to square with Lorendo the units she had used at the fort, another 25 for future Follower needs, and then another thirty to forty to cover the costs on this trip. 100 Scath units in just a few days. Thankfully, the Shadows see
Valkyrie Black Chapter 31: Bathhouse Woes
Val stumbled forward, catching herself right at the edge of the pool. She did her best to cover herself with her hands, but the thin fabric was not much to work with. Barclay and Brant eyed her appreciatively. “Well, if she is pure, that white hair is certainly unique. Thank you, Weylan. Remind me later to leave you a bonus for this one,” Brant called, dismissing Weylan. Val wasn’t sure if she was lucky or cursed to have the Razor’s Edge’s leadership right here. She barely registered Barclay moving towards her until his powerful frame raised out of the water as he reached for her. She averted her gaze but it put her off balance as he pulled her into the pool. The water was only a few feet deep but she tripped on the stair and landed against his damp chest. As she tried to regain her balance she tried to push off his rock hard form, and realized her face was way too close to his manhood. “Eager, eh? Well, I do like a woman who initiates.” His thick arms wrapped around her and pulled
Valkyrie Black Chapter 32: Blood loss
Valkyrie came awake to a dull throbbing in her head. The dark room smelled of piss and vile mixed with stale musty air. There was indeed someone sobbing nearby and Val wondered who it might be. She rolled over, attempting to come to her knees but the world spun as she moved, and she nearly puked her guts up. She slowly made it to a seated position, her head still swimming through a foggy haze.“I thought you said the pain would be blocked.”No one answered her. she belatedly realized that if this was what she was dealing with while aided by the spark, she would be in real trouble if she didn’t get some Scath units soon.“Emma?” she called softly. She desperately wanted to use her thermal vision but it would take precious scath units that she didn’t have to spare right now.“Val?” Her voice trembled with the single syllable.“Emma! I am going to get you out!”“Val, how are you going to do that? They got you too! The last girl that managed to break the locks was caught and never came
Valkyrie Black Chapter 33: Descent of the Dark Angel
Val stared at the wall for a long moment, the reality of the past few hours not yet registering. She just felt numb. “I had to do something. I had to find Emma.” “If you had waited, or come to us, we could have gotten her out,” Cade said. “You told me we couldn’t do anything!” Val fumed. “The whole reason I went off to find her on my own is because you said no!” “Val, if you had been listening to our plan, we already had a way to get all the girls out that would have wrecked the gang and left the Song family alone. It was all worked out. It still is, except you are now wanted by every member of the Razor’s edges. We cannot get you close to the auction because they will have eyes everywhere.” “You had a plan?” “Yes, Val. We had a plan, and it included you and your friend,” Cade said. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. “Rest for now. Tomorrow is the auction and we have a lot to do. Alexa and I will go on a Scath hunt tonight. Whi
Valkyrie Black Chapter 34: Dark Angel Blood Bath
{Options?} Val asked silently. “Well, I can try to kill everyone here, one by one. Or we can be bold and try to alienate the guild master, and embarrass him enough that his guild turns on him and he fights us in single combat… hopefully with me killing him at the end of that,” Baltazar said aloud. “Hey! You! what are you doing up there?” someone shouted from below. All eyes turned to look at Val. She realized they must be quite the sight, dressed in all black at what seemed to be a house party. “Big and bold it is then,” Baltazar said under his breath. He then projected their voice so all could hear. It was strange hearing his words come out in her voice. “Who? Me?” Baltazar replied in Valkyrie's lilting voice. “Yes, missy. YOU. what are you doing here and how did you get in anyway?” Val spotted Brant walk in then just as he locked eyes with her. “YOU! I shot you just a few hours ago!” Brant bellowed. “Your friend too.” Pangs of guilt and loss washed over Val, but Baltazar kep
