The next morning, the couple decided to give the young Valkyrie a little tour of their new home. Mavislin was ecstatic when she initially heard she would have a home after agreeing to train under the couple's wing.
The trio took a little journey, a walk towards the border between the Urnsfield's and the Campania's domain. Entering the Campania's domain meant a world of problems, but the couple seemed confident.
A village situated right at the border was only a landmark for them, much to Mavislin's surprise.
"This village is very important to Mages. They aren't just humans, they are humans who know about us Mages. A treaty of peace has been established between us and them, so make sure you don't cause any trouble for them," said Gillian.
"They protect our identity and whereabouts while we protect them by helping out using our powers," explained Ysabeau, her hands waving about, greeting the villagers.
Mavislin kept quiet as she tailed along. Something about having humans around was bothering the young Valkyrie. Ysabeau smiled gently as she rested a hand on the child's head.
They walked into a forest situated beside the village. Located in the heart of a forest, laid a small clearing. From the perspective of being behind a curtain of vines, nothing but lush greenery and a single huge oak tree that was at the side was present.
Mavislin looked perplexed as she stopped in front of the curtain of vines, but the couple gave a reassuring smile.
"Go on, you'll be able to understand what the Elements can do," said Ysabeau.
The young girl gulped as she stepped through the vines. In an instant, the fallen leaves in the clearing decided to have a mind of its own as they flew up into the sky. The leaves formed a huge cylinder and exploded, revealing a huge stone building in its wake.
An Old Chapel turned to a nice little home in a small clearing of a beautiful forest was right before the Valkyrie. It was cosmic. The walls were still sturdy as if it had been untouched. It bore no look of war or fights but it screams of nostalgia towards anyone who came by.
An upgraded cottage, if there was such a thing. Its roof had been repainted from gray to brick red. The walls from their typical grey and black color to a subtle pale white. The windows maintained their design. A chimney stuck out from the building's top.
"Go on, nothing to be afraid of," cooed Ysabeau, slightly pushing the Valkyrie towards the house.
Mavislin scanned the area in wonder. Was this the true power that an Elite could muster? The child gleefully ran up to the building and gave it a knock.
Two large wooden doors opened with a creak, allowing the Valkyrie in. The couple smiled as they followed the energetic child behind.
The Chapel's interior was drastically different from what it once was. The stone wall and wooden floor remained, but the benches had been taken out. And instead of the usual arched roof, it was a flat cover of stone.
A little fireplace sat by the side, opposite of that was a stone table and some wooden chairs. A few cauldrons were just beside the fireplace, near some pieces of meat hanging about.
"Is that for dinner?" asked Mavislin, eagerly.
"I'd forgotten about Valokians' appetite," said Gillian, wiping sweat from his brow.
"You can eat it if you'd like," replied Ysabeau.
"Yay!" yelled Mavislin, as she proceeded to grab a chunk of raw meat from the hook.
"Shall we continue the tour first?" asked Gillian, pulling the kid away.
The child seemed disappointed but as she climbed the spiral stairs towards the second level, her eyes beamed with happiness. Her joy had skyrocketed when she laid eyes on her room within the beautiful Old Chapel the couple lived in.
It started as a dull room, a bed, and a closet. Its window was the only thing that was worth mentioning. A stained glass window. But lil' Mav was still happy with the room.
"Step in, you'll see what this Old thing can do," said Ysabeau, giving an elbow to her husband's side.
When she placed her foot into the room, the entire place started to change. Every step she took created a ripple effect. The dull floors became orange with a dusty look to it. The arched roof was finely coated Valokia's evening purple skies to remind the young girl of her home.
The closet was slightly bigger now, a few more things popped up. A bookshelf, a table, and a chair…
"Penny!" yelled Mavislin as she flung herself onto the fluffy bed.
"Be careful!" yelled Ysabeau with a hint of worry.
Her husband could only give off an amused laugh.
