Chapter 3 - Element Of Light: Valkyries

The Element Of Light was solely used by the mighty Valkyries of Valokia. Their planet was known to be the largest out of the Andromeda Galaxy since Valkyries are one of the largest creatures in the Universe. Using the Solar System as a scale, Valokia would be the Sun of that system of planets.

They are very similar to the Bahamuts, another race of beings that uses the Element Of Gemstones, guardians of the Upper Skies. They are similar in size and shape, having large talons and beautiful wings. It is said that the feather from a Valkyrie is powerful enough to create an explosion.

Their howl could plunder thousands into the darkness. Their bodies are massive and they were the definitions of a bottomless pit. The Element of Light represents purity and healing and to a certain point, judgment. That's why the Valkyries are known as the Judges within the Universe.

To use the Element of Light, a Mage needs to conjure up positive emotions within selves. The more hope there is, the more powerful the spell becomes. Valkyries feast on others' positive emotions. And turn those into weapons of mass destruction.

These Five Spells could tip the balance of the Universe if used by multiple Valkyries at once. One Spell by a seasoned fighter would destroy the Abyss Of Stars. These Spells are used when the Council has deemed a planet to be a criminal and to purge the planet of the evil ones within.

The Gladiators' Five Great Spells of Divine Judgement. These are called Heaven's Wheel and they go by Stages. They are named Stage One: Barrage, Stage Two: Okeanos, Stage Three: Euphoria, Stage Four: Downpour, Stage Five: Justice Rains, and Stage FInal: Sacred Onslaught.

With Stage One being the weakest and Stage Final, the one after Stage Five, to be the strongest. Stage Final is a compilation of all Stages at once within a final move. This usually kills the Valkyrie afterward. And the only ones allowed to use Heaven's Wheel are called the Gladiators.

The Gladiators were the chosen elite of Valkyrie that was responsible for fighting and defending Valokia. They are also known as the 'Excuetioners'. If a planet sees a Gladiator, descending from its skies, then the planet would be doomed.

They loyally serve the leader of Valokia, the Empress. Valokia, unlike other planets, is ruled by females. But that's why this planet was feared by most, except for the planets that were inhabited by the Founding Elements.

A Valkyrian Light is strong enough to annihilate planets. It can be used to heal any type of wound and enhance abilities like hearing or smell. But the same way it can heal, it can also kill. But because this Element cannot be passed down to someone other than a Valkyrie, derivatives are made.

These include the Elements of Illusion, Speed, and Healing. Some Mage wasn't built to use the Element Of Light to its optimal peak so they created their own based on a certain prospect of the Light Element. Such as the Element of Healing, which only allows the Mage to heal others.

Because not all Mages were as sturdy as the Valkyries. After all, the more power they have, the more mental energy would be needed to power the spell. Usually, the Valkyries use their Element to keep their neighboring planets in line but they do help them out as well.

They were the perfect balance of Light and Dark. They were the most peaceful and calming ones within the Council. Though after a few conflicts with the rest, the Valkyries had a change in their hearts. A once compassionate race of beings, gentle giants turned into war machines.

However, within the current generation, the Valkyrie is rumored to be a terrifying race of beings. They were told to be warmongers, creating conflicts instead of quelling them. Anyone who came across a Valkyrie who almost certainly did not live to tell the tale.

But due to this, the people on Valokia feared for their futures. Especially when the Empresses started a trend of naming themselves with what they were going to represent in their reign. Each reign of an Empress can last for thousands of years, due to Valkyries having long lifespans.

The last Empress was only on the throne for a few years before sacrificing herself to protect her only daughter, that would go on to be the last pure Valkyrie across the Universe. She was known as the 'Empress Of Kindess', unlike her mother, the 'Empress of Tenaacity'.

Her daughter, the survivor of the ground-zero of the Great Noble War, would live on Earth for the rest of her life. That Valkyrie was just a child when the war happened. However, she will not disappoint her title of the Mighty Valkyries.
