Driven by a 400 year old vow, in a mission of revenge what will she do? First fanfic please R&R! Set before LSODM.

4. Going to Gordon

"We'll need to go see Gordon. He should have some information on how to get her back." Said Skulduggery.

"But she can't have been in the war Skulduggery, she looks younger than me for one reason and the other is she doesn't look like the fighting type." Valkyrie argued.

"Valkyrie, she's nearly as old as Ghastly and I. She doesn't look it because she was operated on by Nye during the war. They tried to make a powerful new weapon out of her one with no conscience, one that could manipulate others into thinking that she was too small and weak maybe. They gave her many powers, however it all went wrong as she developed her own conscience and joined our side during the war, she even stopped them from looking into her mind."

"To Gordon's it is then."

They strode into Gordon's secret study. The image of a man was looking over notes, presumably notes on the new book he was writing. "Ah hello, by the looks of things you're here on business rather than to just drop by for a chat." Gordon greeted them, looking up from the notes.

"Correct, do you remeber the story you told me quite a while ago now about some-one being trapped in a twisted mirror world?" Skuldugery asked.

"Yes, but why my I ask?"

"Because an old friend of Skulduggery's is trapped in the same way do you remember how to get them back?"

"Yes, how long have they been trapped there?"

"...We don't know."

"Well you might have a problem, the longer they are stuck there for the harder it is to break through, and even then the concequences are quite severe. If they have been trapped there for a week or two,there may be quite a bit of scarring, but if they've been there for a month or longer, ... they might die."

"Then that might not be a problem, how do we get her back?"

"You must chant these words in front of a full lenght mirror/window, Aquí eu chamar o que non lle pertence. O serán publicados de volta a onde el veu. Meanwhile wherever they are they have to tryand break through themselves."

"Here I draw what does not belong. The will be posted back to where it came from."

"Thanks Uncle Gordon."

"Anything for my favourite niece." He called, as Valkyrie hurried after Skulduggery. He has been acting very strange lately, Valkyrie thought.

What's gonna happen next? Please R&R!
