The Arks

"That was such a quick change. Are you okay to battle?" asked Nova, unsure of what to do.

"Don't fret. All of us are supposed to be ready for battle in times of emergency," explained Mavislin.

Her eyes shone bright golden as streams of her Valokian power seeped through her body. Her body was engulfed in a huge column of golden light before it faded, revealing Mavislin's battle suit. A full-body, black leather suit, back exposed, allowing for her gargantuan wings to sprout freely.

Her hair faded out from chestnut brown to white. Her black fingerless gloves allowed the Elements that she's got in her arsenal to flow easily. Her Elemental Aura was downright suffocating everyone, along with the Aura of Baldwin's Dark Element in the room.

"It's been a while since I've stepped foot into the battlefield," commented Mavislin, shaking her wings.

Nova and Raiyen looked at the Valkyrie in awe. Just a moment ago, she seemed so broken, powerless. And now, she looks completely fresh, unharmed.

"Just don't slow me down within the heat of the battle," reminded Baldwin, dishing out his battle suit.

He was in charge of the Knights of Dawn, so it made sense that his battle suit would be of a Knight's armor. Though it looked bulky, Baldwin was able to move around with ease. Matias had too changed into his suit, a little thinner compared to the Head Knight's set.

Both of the Knights drew out their swords. Mavislin let out a chuckle as she propped herself into position.

"Provided if you can get to the battle faster than me!" she yelled, propelling herself towards the Eastern Front.

The shockwave of her jump caused the entire place to quiver. Nova cried out as she flew backward.

"I swear this girl's gonna be the death of me," complained Baldwin, through gritted teeth.

"I kinda forgot how she's like the moment when there's a battle to be fought," said Raiyen, smiling.

"You sayin' that she had stopped being violent during the Period you came from?!" asked Z, in disbelief.

"She didn't continue being violent or stopped being that. She became ruthless," explained Raiyen, eyes darkening for another second.

Baldwin scoffed as he whistled. Two horses adorned with heavy armor galloped towards the Old Chapel, halting just underneath the opened windows. In a split second, the two Knights jumped off the window sill and landed softly on the horses' backs.

As they galloped away with inhuman speed, the rest of the group was left somewhat dazed and confused, with the only one to suffer being Nova.

"Well, I'll let those two handle their battles. I'm gonna pop off to sleep," said Gillian, yawning.

"You're just gonna let her go off by herself like that?!" asked Nova, confused.

"Don't take your mother too lightly, child. She could easily take us all on if she transforms into her true form. A battalion is nothing to her, let alone a few skilled warriors," explained Z, smiling.

"Raiyen, aren't you gonna go and help her? After all, she's still your partner," suggested Ysabeau.

He sighed and looked at Nova.

"Yea, but I've got this baby girl to take care of," replied Raiyen, rubbing the back of his head. Nova childishly stomped on her father's foot.

"I'm not a baby girl!"

"You are, to all of us."

Nova pouted.

"She hasn't seen a fight before, hasn't she?" asked Ysabeau, calling out to something or some pet in an unknown language to come into the room.

A small bird with a fluffy neck hopped into the room and onto her shoulder.

"We're gonna travel by that again?!" yelled the Time Mage in horror.

"Some things don't change much, do they?" laughed Z, patting the Time Boy on the back.

"What do you mean, 'travel on that'?" asked Nova.

Part of the whole trip of Nova traveling would be at least a third of the poor Princess being dunked into confusion.

"Don't look so worried, she won't bite," said Ysabeau, patting the creature on the head.

"Be very afraid," whispered Raiyen, into Nova's ear.

A cold shudder erupted from the Princess's body.

"Stop giving her wrong ideas, Child of Time! Anyways, I call upon thee, Wings Of The Skies!" chanted Ysabeau, throwing the creature out of the window.

A flash of a pale blue light blinded the rest of them. The small creature was now huge, resting on the garden.

"Can't believe that we have to ride this behemoth," said Raiyen, hopping down onto the huge creature's back.

Nova followed alongside, albeit hesitantly. She'd never ridden on horseback, let alone a creature of this size.

"It's not a behemoth! Meet Fluffy, otherwise known as Rukh," greeted Ysabeau, sprouting her own set of wings.

Though it was not as sizable as Mavislin's shockwave, the power emitted from them is on par.
