The Arks: The Umbra Arc

This is part of my old book; The Arks. This story tells of the Mission of the Umbras within the Arks. The Umbras were a race of hostile Dark Mages that had sought refuge on earth. After waiting for their time to strike, the Umbras decided to target the Five Domains on earth. Due to people going missing and Magecraft being involved, Mavislin decided to investigate. Mavislin is a Valkyrie, a Mage that could use various different Elements. But as she investigates further, things get complicated as an old foe comes into the fray...

The Fire Storm Lance

"Ah! So you've come to terms that his soul is no longer here?" asked the Umbra, smiling.

Mavislin hated that she had to go up against someone wearing her comrade's face like a mask. It was almost as if the Umbra was clapping out of joy for her late conclusion.

"Who says I'm talking about Minwoo?" asked the Valkyrie.

"Then who else would it be?"

The Umbra's smile died as soon as it uttered those words.

"The fact that you are still so hard-up about me forgetting Minwoo means one thing. You aren't able to fully erase a Valkyrie's memories. Correct?"

"Why, you little..."

"That means your Memory Element cannot work on those far superior to Shadows..."

"Don't forget that I can still use the Dark Element. The Memory Element is merely a diversion. An excessive power we had been given from that planet," answered the Umbra, pointing his blade at her.

"Don't forget that I'm a Valkyrie. I can still annihilate if I want."

The Umbra gave a defeated look before asking the next question.

"So why are you angry?"

"I'm upset that you would make light of your child's passing..."

The girl's anger went through the roof when she remembered how the Umbra struck down its kind. Then, with ungodValkyrie, the Valkyire flew to the Umbra, catching him off guard.

"To laugh about killing your offspring..." warned Mavislin, as her fringe covered her darkened eyes.

"It makes my blood boil!" roared the angered Valkyrie as she used enough force to knock the Umbra away.

The sheer force of the swing created a rather large shock wave, alerting the Earl's lurking parties. And when the Umbra landed, it had made an enoThen, asous crater. As the dust settled, the figure rose back up. It looked twisted and contorted, ofthing out from a nightmare.

"Careful! You might alert..."

Before the Umbra could finish its sentence, the Valkyrie had propelled herself onto him, with her shield in front of her. The guard looked solid, yet its outlines were blurry.

"Merge..." chanted Mavislin as the heart of the shield started to shake.

"Trying your tricks, huh?"

"Fire..." continued the Valkyrie, as her eyes burst into their original, golden hue.

The surrounding cold air was absorbed into the front of the shield. This made a growing, swirling vortex on the circular symbol of protection. As a result, the entire guard brightened up with an eerie glowing light.

"Storm..."

Mavislin then reached out and placed a flaming feather into the vortex, bursting the entire thing into a fiery orange whirlpool.

"Lance!" yelled the Valkyrie as she pushed the shield towards the Umbra.

The combined Elements merged and formed into a giant, holographic lance. It was mixed with flames as it tried to penetrate the Umbra's strong defenses.

"This won't be enough to do any damage!" yelled the Umbra, pushing the lance back.

"Bulwark Of Twilight!" shouted the Umbra, voice distorted.

A vast, round shield of Dark Element appeared from the Umbra's hands. The spell was massive, towering over both the Umbra and Mavislin. But unfortunately, it managed to get sucked into the lance, causing the entire spell to disappear.

"No way... It got negated..." murmured Mavislin as she stood still.

Damn, thought the Valkyrie. Perhaps she shouldn't have tried creating a spell when she's already depleted of Elemental Energy. And it doesn't help that the Umbra was overpowering her Aura.

Once the Valkyrie was shaken, the Umbra decided it was an excellent time to turn the tide of this battle. To his advantage.

"Hmph. My turn..." said the grinning Umbra.

It then stomped onto the ground before launching itself towards the surprised Valkyrie. This effectively tossed the poor girl into a nearby building. That giant shield was the only thing to soften the impact. But Mavislin still sustained deep wounds.

The onslaught the Umbra gave was not in the Valkyrie's favor as her Elemental Energy pool continued to waste away. Lord Atlantia may be good to use but was taxing to sustain in this realm.

"Damn it. Then how about I create a physical weapon instead," murmured the Valkyrie, as she spat out some more blood.

Mavislin could only have one weapon out, or she would risk collapsing in battle. The Valkyrie looked at her arm, which was still full of life and agility. If the spell could not last for long, then the only way is to force it to be a physical object.

"Oh, I'm sure Gillian won't approve of this spell," mumbled Mavislin as she allowed Lord Atlantia to disappear.

"No longer able to fight with that? That thing is pretty heavy," asked the Umbra.

The Valkyrie ignored the Umbra's word before changing her Elemental Aura once more. Then, with a hefty sigh, she conjured up the Fire Storm Lance once more.
