The Arks 109 The Ark Of That Nigh

Her voice bellowed with anger. Shock wreaked through her body. Her fists trembled as she remembered that night at Valokia. The night that she learned her true powers as a Valkyrie. As the last child of Valokia. The power used to seal her fraternal twin in that supernova.

She wasn't supposed to have those powers. The ultimate spell from the ancestors of Ancient Valokia, the 11 Gladiators. Each of the Gladiators is represented by the Core, Sub as well as the Lost Elements. Water, Fire, Earth, Air, Spirit, Light, Dark, Time, Galaxian, Memory and Emotion.

With all of the Gladiators' permission, the child had learned those few devastating spells. She could destroy planets with only one of the Five Major Spells. Legend has it that it could have tipped the foundation of the Universe itself when all Five Spells were used.

Otherwise known as the Heaven's Wheel Spell, the Five Major Spells consists of stages. It goes by Stage One being the least in power to Stage Five as the most destructive.

Before, little Mavislin could only wield the power of Amalgamation of Elements. But her powerset was quickly changed as she was crowned as the 12th Gladiator. The Empress's child.

The night was drenched fire and chaos. Screams rang throughout the capital of Valokia. The last night that the planet would ever be in. The mighty Valokia of the Andromeda Galaxy had fallen, just like many other stars during the Great n.o.ble War.

It was the first to start the long and tragic war. And now, it shall be the planet to end the war once and for all. The defences were long down. The area was filled with the notorious Husks, walking around with flames on their backs.

A small pale hand reached out, amongst the flames, within the rumble of fallen debris. Cursing all that had destroyed her home and family. She howled in pain as to why children like her had to suffer. Why was she forced to fight her twin? Why was her twin made to be a killing a machine?

She screamed as she tried her best to get out of the predicament she was in. Her tears flowing as she got angrier and angrier. She was livid when she had finally wormed her way out. She roared towards the skies. Towards the adults that had obliterated her entire childhood.

"Anyone...please... just come. I don't care who. Save us, save us all..."

And then came the 12 s.h.i.+ning Gladiators. They were giant compared to the small one calling out for help. They each wore white robes with gold arm and leg guards. Their hair was as white as snow. One of them flew towards the young girl and grasped her tiny hand.

"What does your heart desire?"

"Power. Power to stop all of this. Give me what you can to eliminate all this pain!" yelled the girl, with teary eyes.

They each held their Element as they granted her the Ultimate Spell. With her initial powers of combining Elements, the young girl was able to adapt to the Gladiators' Elements. Though overpowering, she managed to chant out the strongest out of the Five Major Spells.

Her head spun as she began to sprout her abnormally, giant wings. She shot up into the air, eagerly devouring the Gladiator's Elements.

"Let light flow, Let dark fade. Divine punishment, Descend from the heavens. Grant me the power for this land to strive and flourish once more..." murmured the small child.

Her eyes flew open and her arms stretched out.

"Caelum Rota: Iust.i.tia Imbres! (Heaven's Wheel: Justice Rains)"

The area was engulfed with a blinding light, dowsing all the flames and eliminating all threats. The last thing the Child of Valokia saw was the Gladiators and a figure of a dark shadow. The shadow reached out to her beckoning her to join him on the other side. A loving hand, similar to hers. A figure just like her. A smile that she remembered years ago.

"Benny?" she murmured, a voice hoa.r.s.e as she desperately tried to grasp the warm palm of her twin once more.

But the Gladiators stopped the twins from the union. The figure disappeared, leaving the young girl muddled.

"You will continue as the last Gladiator of Valokia."

"You are the Empress's daughter."

"Do not use Caelum Rota unless it has been deemed alright."

"The cost would be your mind if used excessively."

"You shall be named Susanna..."

There were more words but the Valkyrie could not hear them. She had no idea what it meant. Her thoughts were fluffy, like clouds bouncing about as she tried to hold onto reality. When she awoke, she would find that she had been moved to a new location, a new planet. Where she would build her family and meet new friends.
