(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?

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

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

{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
Valkyrie Black Chapter 35: Desmond wants answers
Baltazar turned Valkyrie's gaze back to Farson. “I know the hierarchy has been disrupted. I trust you to sort it out.”“I admit, miss, I only have a basic understanding of what all goes on.”Valkyrie silently wondered what she must look like to Farson, with Baltazar still controlling her body.“Fine. After I am gone, call back all the members who will answer. Get acquainted with what each is doing and begin to restructure. Tomorrow, make me a list of anything you cannot handle and we can address it then. Any who dissent are to be killed. Gather these bodies and line them along the river.”“Yes, Miss Reaper. Umm, you said we are no longer the razor’s edges. Is there a new crest?”Baltazar frowned. Valkyrie’s resources were dangerously low. She barely had enough for a follower's sigil.“For now, you as the new leader will receive a mark. Others may duplicate it but in time, I will bless those who have proven themselves with a custom version.” Baltazar took Farson’s wrist and after a few

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

Chapter 154: Jailed
“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

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
