A/N: This story will be updated on the second Saturday of every month. I picture Valkyrie to look a bit like Laura Bailey. Valkyrie's theme song is Skyworld by: Two Steps From Hell. I also write Doctor Who stories, if any are interested.
Disclaimer: I do not own Marvel, Disney does. I only own my OC's (Ex: Valkyrie). I do not own the picture I used for the cover.
Prologue
Xandar
It was a normal night on Xandar. Clouds slowly moved along the night sky, creating some patches of clear sky were you could clearly see stars. The wind blew at odd intervals, causing the trees to ruffle their leaves.
Xandar's main city is quiet except for a stray hovercar that zips through the silent streets. The hovercar hovers around ten feet off the ground, propelled by blue engines attached to the back. The hover car itself is dark blue mixed with black strips. The hover car navigates its way through the city with ease heading into the countryside. The road becomes dark and thick forests line both sides of the road. The car puts its blinker on and turns onto an old dirt road, which winds its way through the woods for a mile, at least.
Finally the hover car pulls into a clearing. A huge circular section of the forest has been cleared away. Green grass stretches from the forest, up to a huge mansion. The road changes from dirt to sandy gravel, perfectly straight and even boundaries between the small stones and the grass. The hover car turns off and the driver gets out. He adjusts his dark blue Nova Corps uniform, takes his black briefcase from the car, closes the door with a loud thud.
The man takes out keys and unlocks the door to the mansion. From the outside, the mansion is almost totally dark although a small light shines dimly above the door, allowing the man to see the keyhole. The door was not even halfway open when a shout came from inside, "Daddy!" and a small force slammed into the man, a child with short blond hair and sharp blue eyes.
The man chuckled, set his briefcase down besides the door and picked the kid up. "Hey son. Why are you still up? Isn't it passed your bedtime?" The child responded by snuggling up against him more and tightening his grip on the back of the man's clothes.
"He wanted to wait up for you." Came a voice farther down the hallway.
The entrance to the house was huge. Ebony hardwood, smooth, floors. Exotic carpet decorations lined the hallway. Artificial lighting lined the room between the wall and the ceiling, casting a warm hue in the hall. The ceiling was tall in the entrance hall and you could clearly see up to the third level and the circular skylight above which moonlight was currently shining through. A spiraling staircase started in the middle of the room and continued up three floors. Two hallways, on either side of the staircase led into different parts of the house. On the ground floor.
A woman in her middle thirties emerged from a side door, softly closing the wooden door behind her. She was tall, with long blond hair tied up in a high bun on top of her head. Her eyes were light blue. She had on a long, simple, red dress. "He wanted to know the outcome of that vote. He flat out refused to go to sleep until you came home." Her eyes were dancing with humor and wore a soft, tired, smile.
The man smiled. "Hey." He said in a whisper. "Hey, Landon." The boy looked up, his tired eyes blinking, trying to keep himself awake. "We won."
The boy, Landon, smiled, curled back up against the man, closed his eyes and was soon fast asleep. "I'll put the little one to bed, Irani. Then we can talk." He whispered to his wife, who was now at his side. He leaned in, kissed her. Then he reluctantly drew back. "I'll guarantee there will be more of that tonight."
The wife smirked, now looking more awake than she first appeared. "I'll be waiting in the bedroom, Mr. Rael." And followed her husband up the stairs.
After a long and… productive night, the young couple were sleeping in their bedroom. The man was snoring softly while the woman shifted slightly, then rolled over, facing the wall. Landon was sleeping peacefully in his room, just one door down, his thumb in his mouth and clutching a soft starry blanket.
Suddenly a loud zoom sound and a crash sound was heard, echoing around the clearing of the mansion. Irani and Silo Rael shot up, startled. "Silo, What was that?" Irani asked, putting a hand to her chest, startled.
Silo leaned over and turned on the black lamp that rested on the nightstand. "I'm not sure but I'm going to find out. Check on Landon." Silo gets up, puts blue pants on and a cotton white shirt. Then, just to be on the safe side, he strapped his gun holder to his right thigh.
Irani and Silo leave their bedroom, Irani in the direction of Landon's room and Silo to the spiral starecase.
Once Silo got outside, he didn't even need a handlight, the moon and stars lit his way for them. Silo rounded the back. In the back of the house was an open stretch of land and then a lake. The only thing out of the ordinary was a line of blackened charred, and ripped up gravel, starting halfway through the lawn and ending by the trees.
Silo immediately knew what this was. It was because of a ship crashing on ground. Silo slowly took out his gun, charged it and slowly moved toward the crash, following the line of blackened gravel. It continued for a few minutes in the woods and then Silo came upon a small, white space pod. A red light was flashing on the top and a female computer animated voice, in common, was saying, "-out of the pod. This is pod CT-3564 of The Dynosis. You have crashed onto Xandar. Please get out of the pod. This is-" And the instructions repeated.
Silo, still holding onto his gun, pressed the black button that said 'open.' The pod hissed open and grey smoke came out of the back area. Silo took a cautious step forward and looked into the pod. What he saw startled him. Inside the pod, was a baby. A female baby that was wrapped in a grey blanket and sound asleep with a letter on her chest.
The outside of the letter said: To the Caretakers of Valkyrie
