Journey To DarkSpire Part 7: Cries of Valkyr

The world was met with a rising sun. A blood-red sun, of course. Sunlight seeped through every tree and rock. Shadows of people could be seen, walking at a steady pace through the trees. Voices of laughter and pain could be heard. Soon, the team of twelve became visible as they emerged out of a thick forest of trees and ferns. Cell-3 had found a replacement for his right appendage at the OAFL Armory. It seemed to fit him perfectly. Robo Owl sat on his walking mech, holding in his hand a white and black hand cannon with red wisps surrounding the barrel. He spun it around in one hand before holstering it. Deatheater held in his hand a scythe that seemed to have been formed from moonlight itself. Its blade seemed to have stars in it, and the cosmos could be seen twisting and turning on its edge. ImmaDrizzit, his chest covered in blood and his helmet cracked in various places, held a sword that seemed to be rough and crimson red. The edge of the blade seemed to have encrusted red material. TotallyNotThor emerges out of the forest with his wolf, Onyxia, right as his heels. His hands seemed to be crackling with lightning and they seemed to be drenched in water. Hammerfist appeared in front of the trees, trying out his phasewalk. He held in his hand a scimitar with three jewels encrusted in its hilt, gleaming with the sun’s light. The edge seemed to be razor sharp, as one touch could cause a cut. ManofLight had become temporarily blinded by the sunlight, growling as it struck him straight in he face. He held in his right hand three Kunai tipped with a red substance. Diana stands calmly amidst the team, leaning on her staff and sighing gratefully as she sees morning light. Her staff was golden with intricate designs on its handle and a sphere on both ends. A sun carved out of gold could be seen at one end. At last, MagicSpaceKitty emerges out of the woods, groaning as she breaks out of the trees with a peculiar pet in her arms. It hisses and bites as MagicSpaceKitty tries to hold it. It seemed to be a blue baby wyvern, with a tuft of Black and blue fur on its elbows and back. Its scales shimmered bright blue as light bounced off of it, and its little blue reptilian eyes observed every moment around it. Artemis emerges next to MagicSpaceKitty, her new bow in hand, and she is followed by Foofer and Phoenix. After the team of twelve stood in a horizontal fashion, they observed beneath them a town thriving with the sound of bells and people. Cell-3 began to make his way down the hill towards the town. The team followed, with MagicSpaceKitty still struggling with the wyvern... “Gah. This thing is so crazy...” she says as the wyvern nearly slips out of her hands, hissing as she caught it. “You think we haven’t noticed?” ManofLight responds, carefully observing a pair of Kunai in his right hand. “Well you just gotta dragon for a little longer...” Robo Owl adds, Who is then shortly met with a furious gaze from Phoenix. Foofer offers to hold the wyvern, and MagicSpaceKitty accepts without hesitation. As he cradles the creature in his hands, it started to feel a lot better. After a few minutes of walking among a grassy meadow, the team had reached the outskirts of the town. Armored guards with helmets and visors kept watch in towers. A giant wooden gate stood in front of the team, with walls protruding from both sides of it. Cell-3 signaled a nearby guard, and the two talked for a moment... “Sure is a beautiful city...” Says Diana, interrupting the silence. Chatter of guards can be heard in the air as they are seen manning cannons and crossbows. Some laugh, some stare, but they all had their eyes focused on the team. After about a minute, the guard that Cell-3 had conversed with withdrew from the conversation and yelled out a word from an unknown language to a guard near the gate. The guard near the gate seemed to have been standing next to a lever, and he nodded his head after he had heard the word and he signaled the team forward. The team took a few steps forward until the guard cranked the lever, lifting up the wooden gate by two chains. The guards on the watchtowers urged the team in as if something was chasing after them. The team quickly rushed inside, and the huge wooden gate behind them closed with a mild thud as the chains lifting the gate collapsed. In front of them were buildings and huts organized in a grid-like pattern. Dirt roads paved the way between buildings, and people in ragged clothes walked the roads. The buildings seemed to have been made out of some sort of clay, and they seemed to be at least four stories tall with windowless openings. People popped their heads out of their houses, observing the travelers with great interest and caution. One guard clad in gold armor that had covered his chest, arms, legs, and helmet had rushed over to the group, lifting his visor up to reveal black hair flowing down his shoulders and green eyes staring at the team with a friendly look... “Hello, Sacred Warriors. I see that the prophecy has been fulfilled again. I am Captain Cormick of the Valkyr Defenses. Pleased to meet you...” The rest of the team had said their greetings, with TotallyNotThor’s wolf, Onyxia, howling in response. Cormick looked at the Canine with friendly and caring eyes, and he signaled the team to follow him with his hand... “The queen would be pleased to meet the warriors of the prophecy. The royal house shouldn’t be too far from here.” Says Captain Cormick as he led the way through the maze of buildings. Phoenix cut a nearby pedestrian a mean and threatening look with his eyes as he walked through the road. The pedestrian nearly jumped in fear. Diana took in the sights around her. Foofer kept stroking the baby wyvern in his hands, now asleep... “Damnit. I hope it doesn’t piss....” he says quietly... “The only thing it’ll do is piss you off...” ManofLight adds as he walks slowly past the buildings, ignoring Cormick’s lecture. MagicSpaceKitty takes the Wyvern back from Foofer, with Foofer sighing in relief as he looks at his scaly hands, now covered with blue fur...

Cell-3

“Valkyr has been a city of true honor among the kingdom. We have one of the most advanced technology in the kingdom DarKSpire, enough to rival-“ Cormick’s lecture is cut short by an interruption from Robo Owl. “Doesn’t really seem that advanced. The buildings could use some work and the sewer system is just downright atrocious. I mean look at - Gah!” ImmaDrizzit slaps his back, cutting him an angry glare... “Be respectful!” He says as he walks past the robot, now rolling his eyes. “When will you ever shut up...” groans Phoenix, his fire red eyes observing every sight with boredom. Robo Owl cut him an annoyed glance as Phoenix shrugs in response. Cormick, Who now had a look of embarrassment in his eyes, stopped talking and led the warriors to the royal house just at the end of the street. He kept quiet throughout the walk. ManofLight nudges Robo Owl and whispers a few words to him... “Thanks for getting that damned lecture out of the way. It’s boring as hell...” “Agreed...” Says deatheater, walking next to ManofLight. Robo Owl flashes the two a thumbs up, and they continue to walk past more huts and buildings. After a few more tents and huts were passed, the team was confronted by a huge building, built like a Greek palace. Columns erupted out of the ground to support the roof, and stairs led up to a huge door. A fountain was placed just in front of the stairs. The team follows after Cormick as he runs up the stairs. There were at least twenty steps. After the stairs, the team had found themselves behind two huge wooden doors. Cormick struggles with the lock but he eventually opens it. The doors fly back, revealing a beautiful interior... “After you...” Says Cormick to Cell-3, who is admiring the palace. The team floods in, only to be met with a huge room, comparable to an auditorium. Glass chandeliers hung from the ceiling not too far above. Dim lanterns lined the walls next to them. A huge red carpet was draped across the long room, leading to a throne. Glass sculptures sat on small stone structures, and a fountain was placed in the middle of the room... “Why would you build such a palace only to have it burned up by a damned dragon?” Says Phoenix with an uninterested tone. He clearly payed no attention to the room. “I think this place is magnificent...” Says TotallyNotThor, ignoring Phoenix. ImmaDrizzit groaned at Phoenix’s response, and he quickly limped to the front of the group. ManofLight stood next to Phoenix, saying some words... “Well aren’t you just a glorious, happy little ray of sunshine...” Phoenix cut him a fiery gaze, but he briefly flashed him a smile before he turned his face to the front of the room. Cormick had ran ahead towards the throne, talking to a figure sitting on it. The figure seemed to be a woman draped in a gold-colored dress. A hood covered her face, and golden shimmering cloth draped down from her arms and legs. The cloth had a design on her chest, a symbol representing two wings adjacent to each other. Cormick and the figure exchanged words in a foreign language, and after a few seconds, Cormick beckoned the team to come forward. The team walked forward in a uniform fashion, with Cell-3 at the front, his legs stomping robotically. “I hope this place has a target range...” Says Artemia as she positions herself in front of the throne. “Good morrow travelers. Captain Cormick here has explained everything to me. I see that Flammaetoris has been absent lately. Have you purged him?” Says the queen with a heavy British accent, looking at the team with wondrous eyes. Cell-3 nods as he walks to a stop in front of the throne. The queen nods with approval... “Excellent. You all have the potential to defeat the other five dragons. I must introduce you to me and my kingdom...” she says. “I am queen Valk of Valkyr town, A city of great importance and one of the last cities to have survived from the onslaught of the dragons. Please, help yourself to dinner. You all must be exhausted from your last fight.” She says as she points to a table behind her, filled with hot steaming food. Cell-3 and Robo Owl look at each other anxiously as the rest of the team begins to sit on the benches next to the table. MagicSpaceKitty wanders up to the queen, carefully setting her Wyvern down on the ground... “Uh, Do you mind if I ask-“ she is cut off by a nearby guard. “It’s Your Majesty to you! Greet her proper-“ The queen cuts the guard an annoyed look. The guard quickly goes quiet. MagicSpaceKitty looks back towards the queen, anxiously... “As I was saying... do you have a library around here?” The queen nods with a smile and points towards a wooden door built into the right wall. MagicSpaceKitty lets out a sigh of relief as she picks up her sleeping Wyvern and heads for the door. The rest of the team hungrily chomps down on many of the delicious foods laid on the table, including a steak of an unknown creature. TotallyNotThor’s wolf barks with happiness as he throws what seems to be a chicken leg at her, and she catches it in midair hungrily. ImmaDrizzit thanks the queen, and Cell-3 and Robo Owl sit on a nearby bench, watching the team. Being robots, they decide not to eat. After a few minutes, the room starts to shake. A piece of a glass chandelier falls on the table and shatters into pieces, filling the room with panic. Cell-3 gets up, his eyes red. The queen gets off her throne, looking around her anxiously as her brown hair sways left and right. Suddenly, a voice is heard... “Pathetic...mortals.... Alphos.... Hungry....” The deep reptilian voice causes everyone to panic. Cell-3 rushes outside of the royal house, running past the team, which has erupted into panic. His feet flurried past the glass structures. He pushes the door open, only to see a giant black hole in the sky, spinning and swirling. The sky was dark red, with black wisps flying around aimlessly. Cell-3 looks at a giant lizard-like creature descending from the black hole. It was darker than anything he had seen before. Its eyes were a dark red. White razor sharp teeth could be seen coming out of its mouth. Huge spikes erupted out of its shoulders and elbows, and its wings were jagged and crooked as they flapped slowly in the sky. Cell-3 cursed under his breath as the town panics, people running left and right and guards rushing to observe the chaos... “Alphos.... Dragon of Despair... has come.... Must destroy souls...” Says a reptilian voice, seemingly coming out of the sky. It seemed otherworldly. Cell-3 stares at the dragon, horrified as it begins to descend upon the town.
