The Arks - Chapter 397
Mavislin sighed and shot her palm up, towards the ceiling. Drawing her Elements from her surroundings, the Valkyrie’s wings sprouted and she levitated from the ground. She extended her arms out, creating a T formation with her body. The ground beneath her started to glow.
The emblem of Valokia appeared after the bright glow. The area began to shake violently. Tomoe and Raiyen looked at each other. Raiyen glitched away, using the falling debris as stepping stones to get out to the surface. Tomoe closed his eyes and transformed back to his animal form.
A white fox, larger than Mavislin with a very fluffy snow-white tail. Tomoe quickly followed his owner’s path to escape the crumbling facility. When he got there, the area looked like a mess with all the surface dirt convulsing into the facility. Both of them stood in a nearby house.
It was dawn and the sun was getting ready to greet the residents of Albion. Some onlookers were around as they felt the violent shake. As they crowded around, they saw streams of little golden lights, looking like fireflies come out of the fallen building.
It was a beautiful sight to behold, despite the situations. Instinctively, they backed away, noting that only one person could have been in that area. As the spell reached its primed condition, Mavislin’s eyes flew open as she activated the spell.
“Heaven’s Wheel; Euphoria,” chanted Mavislin as the area glowed.
The emblem beneath her feet expanded and engulfed the entire facility with its golden light. AS it died down, Mavislin was standing on the bottom of a large crater. The onlookers were afraid but Mavislin flew out without problems.
“I’m surprised that Mavislin is going to pull off such a stunt. We are under a graveyard,” said Tomoe, transforming to his human form when outside.
“She doesn’t like remembering too much about the past. Her way of guiding others is to destroy the bad things about their past so that it won’t bring down their futures,” explained Raiyen, looking at the golden light.
” ‘Live in the present, don’t dwell too much on the past. Otherwise, it’ll eat you up. It’ll cloud your judgment to do the right thing. And by the time you get that out of the way, I would have beheaded you by then.’ Those were the words she said to me while in training,” said Raiyen.
“That isn’t too good, always erasing your past. Sure, it might be good for some, but it is the bad memories that drive us to strive better. Because we lost someone before. That’s not a memory you should lose. That’s something you should keep near you,” answered Tomoe.
Tomoe looked at the scene before him with conflict.
“You don’t forget about your past entirely, you hold them tight and move on. Otherwise, you’re just bluffing yourself. You forgive yourself but never forget that you were too weak to save that someone. Use it to propel you further into the future, not throwing it away.”
“A mistake should be owned up and not erased from the mind entirely. IN this case, it was the mistake of ignoring small matters. This is the result of that. Destroying this place means nothing to the people, they will commit the same crime again,” explained Tomoe.
“Well, look who woke up to be a philosopher today,” said Raiyen, after Tomoe’s speech.
“I’m saying the truth! If Mavislin keeps erasing areas like this and does not remember it later on, how would she move on without committing the same mistake?”
“You sound as if it was her fault that this happened…”
“At least, the area should be here to remind Rina not to commit such crimes again.”
Raoiyen blinked a few times before laughing at his Familiar. Tomoe was irritated and grabbed the Time Mage’s collar.
“What’s so funny?” growled Tomoe.
“What do you think ‘Heaven’s Wheel: Euphoria’ is?”
“It’s one of the legendary spells of Valokia. What are you on about?!”
“Mavislin is doing exactly what you want her to do! Heaven’s Wheel Euphoria is the only spell within Valokia that does not do any damage to any being or area! It’s a storing spell, like my Time Pocket!”
Tomoe blinked in confusion.
“Heaven’s Wheel Euphoria is a spell that Mavislin uses to collect her journeys. Like a journal, Euphoria can only be accessed by her. All the memories of the place and sometimes, like this case, the building itself will get to be in Euphoria. The many memories and moments.”
“That’s the perfect world that Mavislin sends the ones who passed to be there. Sometimes, the souls do not meet each other as it’s supposed to reflect what the deceased wants to see. The perfect world, Euphoria.. And she carries them as a diary.”
