Valkyrie stormed through the Sanctuary. The other Sanctuary operatives were forced to flatten themselves against the walls or suffer the wrath of Valkyrie Cain herself. Everyone across the world had heard the tales. The twelve year old girl who's life had been endangered. Who's life was then saved by the Skulduggery Pleasant. Who had then taken young Valkyrie on as an apprentice. Ever since then the two had been saving the world like it was nobody's business.

Everyone who had heard of her or had met her were in utter awe of Valkyrie. But at the same time they were teriffied of her. The one thing that shocked people most about her though were her eyes. Everyone who met her thought her to be small, inexperienced and childish. But she wasn't. She was one of the world's saviour's and greatest sorcerers. So when ever people looked into her eyes, they saw the eyes of a hardened soldier who had fought in century long wars. They saw the eyes of a wise old sorcerer who lived the longest life in history. But they were also so so so sad. They were the eyes of someone who had lost everything that had ever mattered to them. But unfortunately for her, that's exactly what had happened.

Valkyrie was extremely annoyed. You could tell by the way she glared at passing sorcerers. Of course she was annoyed. I mean who wouldn't be? Especially when your called in when your just sitting down to a late breakfast on your day off. It was just like those bloody elders to call her in. Sometimes Valkyrie didn't think they could run the place without her!

Valkyrie slowed her pace to a brisk walk just as she was turning the corner leading directly to the conference room. She flicked her wrist and the doors slammed open. She walked through and used her other hand and the shadows curled around the door handles and shut the doors behind her gently. At the age of 22 Valkyrie still hadn't experienced the surge. This made her an even more dangerous opponent.

Valkyrie was a little disheartened by the fact that there had been no one in the room at the time to experience her grand entrance. But then again what more could she expect from the elders. They always were a lazy bunch.

...

About half an hour later when the council of elders finally arrived Valkyrie was almost asleep. She was slouched across an uncomfortable wooden chair with the words "Valkyrie Cain. Head Detective" written on it.

The tallest one of the three looked at Valkyrie in shock. "Miss Cain! Should you really need to be reminded that you need to stand when the Grand Mage is in your presence?" He asked.

Valkyrie glanced up at him."of course not Grand Mage Grin. It's just when you've waiting for a long time on your day off, one tends to feel rather tired." Grand Mage Grins name made you think of a happy chap. Someone who was always smiling and someone who was really kind. Unfortunately for everyone who knew him however, this was not the case. Grand Mage Grin was actually quite the opposite of what his name suggested. He was tall, lanky incredibly thin and someone who loves to abuse his power. Very much like old Tenny. It was a shame he died. He two men either side of him were very different. They were twins and both extremely quiet. They hated hurting anyone but would defend themselves if need be. If an argument was going on then they would rather watch then intervene.

!

Grumbling slightly, Grand Mage Grin walked around the table so that he was facing Valkyrie. One of the twins, Elder Razor if she wasn't mistaken, began the meeting.

"I presume Miss Cain, that you know why you're here?" He asked. Valkyrie looked at him angrily.

"Of course I don't Elder Razor. If I did then why would I have showed up on my day off?" He grimaced slightly at her tone. His twin, Elder Blade (A\N get it? Haha!) Stated quite calmly,

" it. Seems as though as though your location has been found out." Valkyries head snapped up to meet the council's gaze. Noting the worry and other emotions flitting through their eyes.

"What?!" She asked.

"Someone has let it slip that you are at the American Sanctuary." Supplied Grand Mage Grin.

"Who? Tell me who in their right mind decided to tell?" The fury in her voice was enough to make her old mentor shake in his boots so imagine how the council were.

"Miss Cain! Don't you DARE speak to the council like that! I'll have you know that if it weren't for us then you wouldn't even have a job right now!"

Valkyrie glanced at him from under her long fringe. "Excuse me?"
