Emma fell down onto the glass platform with a thump. She felt dazed a bit before realizing where she is. She felt a presence standing behind her and got up before turning around. Valerie stood there with her sword and deck, ready to do some 'testing'.

"You knew I was going to send you here sometime" said Valerie, running a hand through her purplish locks. "Now that you are a Master Pyromancer, let us begin the series of tests shall we?"

Emma got out her deck and sword, ready for battle. "Alright, a one on one battle, right?" She looked confused as Valerie shook her head. What did she have in mind then?

"Well we'll one on one later, but right now let us warm you up and do a little bit of… 'Training'" said Valerie, making air quotes around the word 'training'

Emma gulped; she did not like how she said training. This is going to be a tiring experience, she knew that for sure.

Valerie grinned wickedly, "First let's do some push-ups"

Emma found herself on her on the floor doing push-ups as Valerie sat on top of her as if she was extra weight. The blonde hated physical exercise, especially Gym. She struggled to do a push-up with Valerie being on her. "God you're heavy" Emma said, straining as sweat formed on her face as she finally did a push-up. "Muscle weighs more than fat, now do 9 more!" Valerie said, examining her nails like she didn't care.

Emma groaned and did what was asked, she is going to be very sore at the end of this…

"TEN LAPS NOW!" Valerie yelled as she got out her timer.

The blonde zipped around the whole glass platform in fast speed. Valerie tapped her foot impatiently, waiting for her to be finished. Once Emma was done she stopped her timer. The blonde panted heavily and wiped off the sweat, she stank a lot. Valerie walked slowly over to her and shook her head in disappointment. "You ran 10 laps in 1 minute and thirty seconds, not good enough" She said, smacking Emma lightly on the head.

"Yes coach…" Emma muttered as she tried to catch her breath.

Next…

Emma carried a giant crate on her back as she attempted to walk across the entire glass platform with it under time pressure. Sweat flowed down her face as she walked slowly across. Valerie was urging her on and shouting commands and some mindless profanity. "Come on, Emma, I walked twice that fast when I was your age! I'll make a woman out of you, yet!"

"I hate you, you know that?" muttered Emma

"So I've gathered, but… KEEP MOVING!"

Emma muttered curse words under her breath as she walked a bit faster with the giant crate on her back. Once done, she threw the crate on the floor with huge strength that it shattered. The blonde felt a bit fatigued and called for a break. Valerie looked at her incredulously, "Really? You want a break? Hell no! We only got started!"

Valerie watched as Emma groaned and got out her magic wishing stone. She wished she wasn't fatigued and got her muscles working again, ready for a second wind.

"50 Cartwheels now!" commanded Valerie. Emma did as ordered, she wondered how the hell is this training going to help her defeat Malistaire; they are basically fighting with magic, not physical punches and what not.

2 minutes later…

The blonde was on her back doing bench press it seems. The weights on each side of the bar are a 45 or aka, plate. The bar itself is 45 pounds is well, so that is a 135 pounds she is lifting. Valerie of course is spotting her so she doesn't hurt herself. "Come on! I can do two times what you are lifting!"

Valerie watched as Emma as she did one lift, sweat forming all over her. "Valerie, I'm in pain, this is too much" Emma gasped as the weight almost fell on top of her as she struggled to lift it back up. "Oh god, this must be what it's like to have a baby, only more painful!"

"You should lift with your whole strength!" said Valerie

"Nah… screw it, I got health insurance" said Emma, as she successfully lifted a second one.

5 minutes later…

Emma found herself sitting in a chair drinking tea with Valerie. Now this was getting out of hand and just plain strange. "What does this have to do with my training?" asked Emma, sipping her tea. Valerie rolled her eyes and lightly sipped her tea. "Nothing, it builds character"

Once done with tea, Valerie snapped her fingers and the chairs disappeared, making Emma fall on her bum. Emma groaned in pain as she rubbed her behind before standing. She gave Valerie a glare.

The purple haired girl grinned, "Well your all done with your training, I think you are ready to learn something new" Emma looked at her, curious as to what she is going to teach her, but also frightened of what it might be.

"Take out your sword" Valerie commanded softly, watching Emma take out her sword. She then gripped her own sword with both hands, motioning Emma to do the same, which she did. "Now," Valerie started as she looked at Emma, "Concentrate, feel your inner fire and physical power merge together. You will know once they have merged, and when they do, I want you to use that combined power for a powerful sword attack!"

Emma nodded and closed her eyes. She felt the burning fire power within, boiling her blood and heating her body. She also felt her physical power seeking in from all the training she did. Then they merged together, forming into absolute power, just waiting to be used. Her eyes fluttered open, revealing intense fiery eyes. She gripped her sword tighter as she saw that Valerie placed a puppet for her to attack on.

Without even knowing it, she yelled what the attack was going to be, "CELESTIAL FIRE RETRIBUTION!" Emma kicked the puppet up into the air, jumped up to it, slammed it back down with the back of her foot, then kicked it away before charging up to it and then mega slashed the puppet in all directions in a split second with major fire power.

The puppet was on the ground in a lot of pieces and burned to ash. Valerie clapped her hands, "Very nice, very nice" With some magic waves of her hands she formed a spell card for Emma to use and gave it to her. Emma looked at it; it looked like every other fire spell. The spell's name of course is Celestial Fire Retribution; an 8 pip spell that attacks one enemy with insane fire damage, it can only be used for killing the opponent otherwise you get drained of almost all your health. The picture of the spell is two swords crossing each other with a Fire symbol in the background.

"Use it wisely, I suggest you use that in your battle with Malistaire, that spell can do major damage to kill him. Some might say it can over kill, given the chance" Valerie grinned, knowing how badly Emma wants to murder Malistaire in the worst way possible.

"Only one copy though?" asked Emma as she placed the spell card in her deck for later use.

Valerie nodded, "Only one. Now, let us get on with your testing" She summoned three minions beside her. They were pox like things that floated around. "Our first test is called, "Protecting your Ass" Valerie laughed at Emma's look she gave her. "In all seriousness, everybody knows you need to defend yourself in battle. But what happens when you can't land an attack on your opponent? It's like a game of ping pong, somewhat"

Valerie snapped her fingers and the pox like things summoned the duel arena to challenge Emma. The purple haired girl stood out of the fight to watch how it goes. "I shall see if you know what you are doing. Defend yourself, these pox aren't friendly"

Emma got into position; the duel arena randomly chose her to go first, which she gladly accepted. She drew 7 cards and looked at them. She has 2 power pips, the three poxes have 3 power pips each and they are balance. The spells in her hand are Celestial Fire Retribution, Fire Blade, Meteor Strike, Kraken, Satyr, Sprite, and Fuel. She went and immediately played Meteor Strike.

Meteors came out of nowhere and attacked each one of the poxes. They are weak minions so their health circle went down to a quarter.

Each pox played a Tower shield on one another. Emma's turn again and she drew her new favorite spell, Helephant. She only has one pip so she discarded Sprite to draw a card and she got Tower Shield as well. She played it and it floated around her feet. The first pox played Judgment, the damage being halved as Emma was attacked by it. The other two poxes played Elemental Shields on the first one.

"Stop shielding! Grr!" Emma growled as she drew her next spell card, Scald. She played Fire Blade and watched again of what the poxes might do. First pox played Spirit Armor on the second and then the second played Hydra. The 3 headed beast jumped down from the sky and attacked Emma with all 3 elements. The third pox played the same thing as the first on the second.

Emma's health is only a third depleted, regardless, she has to be careful. She drew her next card, Spirit Armor. She went ahead and played Scald, damage overtime appeared on each one of the poxes. The burn only hurt the first pox little as it passed. The second one passed as well and getting no damage. The third just blasted Emma with Spectral Blast, the element being Ice.

"Stay focused and save your ass, Emma!" said Valerie

Emma rolled her eyes and drew her next spell, Meteor Strike again. She discarded Spirit Armor to draw a Treasure card tower shield, and played it on herself. The first two passed, but the third one played Judgment that would have defeated Emma if she didn't shield.

"Come on, Emma, you can defeat these pox things" thought Emma as she focused on her energy within. The fire filled her with power and she knew her next attack will be devastating. With high concentration she played the Meteor Strike spell. The spell damage doubled as it hit every single one of them with intense fire power that they the poxes blew up.

The duel arena vanished and Emma wiped the sweat from her face. She really hates hard stuff. Valerie clapped once again, "Nice job, now for the second test" She pulled out her deck and then landed it on the floor, the spells scattered about. Emma was confused at this as Valerie motioned for her to do the same. She reluctantly dropped her deck to the floor as well.

"Now, as you know, there aren't always battles with the duel arena. You must be skilled with outside duels, using your sword only, sword spells are acceptable and so is any sort of kung-fu type things, but anything else is forbidden" Valerie started, "I know you won't be facing Malistaire with this, but it is always good to be skilled in it. Casting spells takes too much time outside the duel arena where your enemy can slice off your throat"

Emma gulped as she held her throat. Valerie grinned, "Ah don't worry, I won't kill ya. We are just going to do a little sword fighting until one of us is at mercy" She brought out her sword and went into her stance, "So let's fight!"

Valerie dived at Emma with her storm sword. Emma quickly blocked the attack with her fire sword. She then side stepped out of the way and tried to poke Valerie. The purple haired girl back flipped out of the way.

"Thunder!" Valerie yelled as a thunder shock blasted from her sword towards Emma. She in turn, cartwheeled out of the way, before jumping up to the air and blasting a fire ball her way.

Valerie grinned and just simply side stepped the attack. She watched as the Blonde then tried to throw punches her way. She simply dodged them with ease, predicting the blonde's every move. She then kicked Emma in the chest, knocking her down onto the floor.

"Ouch…" Emma said, clutching her chest. She watched as Valerie jumped up and dived attacked down with her sword. She quickly rolled out of the way and then blasted Valerie with a fire ball to the stomach when she tried to dislodge her sword.

"Nice… but let's see you do more!" Valerie yelled

She charged at Emma with a powerful slash attack. Emma quickly dodged under it and tripped her with her leg. Valerie fell down to the floor with a hard thump. The blonde lunged at her, but Valerie kicked her away. Emma regained her footing as she saw Valerie coming straight at her at full speed…

Time slowed down in Emma's eyes as she ducked from the sword attack lunged at her head and slowly placed her leg behind Valerie's foot. She then tripped her down to the floor and pinned her with a hand on her stomach and sword at her throat, signaling the battle is over and that she is the victor.

Valerie smiled; she now knew Emma is ready. "You win, congratz, that's all I have to test you with" Emma smiled back and moved her sword away. Valerie got up and dusted herself off. "I won't be testing you with the one on one dueling with magic. I'll probably defeat you very easily because of how strong I am and that I am a Legendary Diviner that shouldn't be trifled with"

Emma gazed at her companion, "So… that's it? Nothing more?" Valerie shook her head in response, "You're a great Pyromancer, Emma, and I'll give you that. You are now ready to face Malistaire… I am proud of you" She patted her shoulder.

The blonde grinned like an idiot and placed her hands behind her head, "Well you trained me well and tested me well. I thought I surely lose!" She then thought of the one thing that has been bothering her since she discovered Valerie being in her heart. She was about to ask when Valerie stopped her.

"Don't, I know what you're going to say, perhaps I should tell you why I am in your heart…" started Valerie as she looked at Emma, seeing that she gained her full attention. Valerie sighed and sat down next to Emma to continue the explanation.

"So 10 years ago, I have died very painfully and horribly" The purple haired girl looked at her small blonde companion, she seemed to be a bit shocked at her opening explanation. She paused for a second or two before continuing, "I won't tell you how I died. Ambrose can tell you that one, but I will however explain what happened to me after I died…"

Flashback…

Valerie found herself in a dark endless void of some kind. She stared into the darkness, seeing nothing but darkness. "Am I in hell?" She asked, wondering where she is. Valerie heard a light girly chuckle from the darkness.

"Far from it, my friend" said a girly voice.

Valerie gasped as a glowing female in white robes appeared in front of her. The girl is blonde and fairly beautiful. If anything, she looks like an Angel. The purple haired girl pondered for a bit before asking, "So is my time up on life and I am going to be directed to Heaven?" She asked, confused. The Angel smiled and shook her head.

"No, granted you will go to heaven, but not right now" The Angel said in response.

Valerie scratched her head in confusion, "Then… what? Am I supposed to do something important?"

The Angel nodded, "Yes, something very important" She walked around Valerie, eyeing her closely, "The good lord would love to have you in heaven, but there is one final thing you must do before he grants you into Heaven"

"What?"

The Angel pondered, wondering how she is going to put this. She decided to be blunt, "You'll be inside Emma Green's heart for a little bit more than 10 years" Valerie's eyes widened at this and was about to open her mouth, but the Angel silenced her. "Do not speak, I know what you are about to say, and I assure you, it is necessary. You see, once you are inside of Emma's heart, you will awaken her burning fire magic trapped deep within. Then 10 years from now, you shall help her on a very dangerous adventure that she will endure"

"10 years inside a little girl's body…" Valerie said with a sigh. Did she want to do this? This all sounded kinda crazy. She, of all people has to awaken the girl's fire power and then help her on some destined adventure? Then again, she rather not be in hell, who knows what Satan has in store for her if she refused this favor. She finally nodded in response.

"Good I knew I could count on you. Once you are finished with this, we will gladly allow you in heaven" said the Angel

The Angel disappeared and Valerie felt herself being sucked into a warm heart of a little girl. She found herself on the glass platform. She stared at the images in the glass. There were Emma's parents and Brooke J. Roberts in the glass. She then gasped as an image of herself appeared in the glass alongside the others.

She heard a voice whisper in her ear, "You can do it…" Valerie sighed and decided to feel the girl's magical fire power deep within. It was sealed inside but ready to be unsealed by her. Valerie closed her eyes and lifted her right hand up into the air. With some words under her breath and her fingers twiddling about, it was unsealed and the magic flowed throughout Emma's body, ready to be used.

With a sigh, she shook her head, "This is going to be the longest 10 years of my … well heart life I guess"

End Flashback…

"So… you're the one that awakened my powers?" asked Emma with newfound understanding.

"Yes, you should be thanking me. You got a new life, found your long lost friend, new friends, and some good magic skills to boot!" said Valerie with a sigh

Emma looked at her awe, "Yeah, I should thank you, you given me a life I never thought I could have. Thank you, Valerie"

Valerie rubbed her blonde hair affectionately, "No problem, sport" A bright light appeared in front of them as they shielded their eyes from it. Once the light has shimmered down, the Angel that Valerie talked about appeared, still looking the same as before. The Angel smiled a toothy smile at Valerie.

"Valerie, you have done well, you have finished your goal here and now you can move on" said the Angel. With a wave of her left hand, a door appeared beside her, probably the door that leads her to Heaven.

"Your beloved Fleur is waiting for you" The Angel added as she looked over at Emma. "And to you, miss EmeraldBlossom, your beloved Brooke is fine, she'll wake up soon, but I won't tell you when" She giggled when she saw Emma groan. The blonde hated to be teased.

Valerie turned to look at Emma and pulled her into a hug. The blonde immediately returned the hug, a tear falling down her cheek. She is going to miss her friend, even though she was annoying and a bit bossy. Valerie pulled away from the hug and looked at her bright blue eyes, "Be good Emma, I'll see you in Heaven whenever you do die" She turned and walked towards the door and then paused. "Oh and uh, Be sure to tell how Brooke you feel about her when she wakes up" She turned her head to give her a wink and Emma quickly blushed.

"Goodbye for now" said Valerie as she opened the door.

Emma cried as she waved her goodbye, "Goodbye! I'll miss you!" She watched as Valerie stepped through the door with the Angel and they both disappeared within. The door then disappeared three seconds later.

Anna and Destiny carried the unconscious body of Emma to a place called 'The Forum'. The blonde's eyes fluttered open and looked at her surroundings. This was not unnoticed by the girls holding her. They helped her stand up on her feet. Anna let out a sigh of relief as she stared at her returned sister.

"You're back, I assume you passed Valerie's test" said Anna

"And you also look a little more… buff than usual. Who knew inside your heart tests can actually go to your outside look" said Destiny, looking at Emma carefully.

Emma indeed looked a bit stronger and her muscles stood out a little bit, but she still looked like a beautiful young woman. The blonde looked at herself and flexed a bit, showing some muscle. "Yeah, Valerie trained me hard"

"I bet. I think Brooke will drool at the sight of you being a bit more buff" Anna teased

"Oh please, I don't think Brooke likes me that way" Emma said, not really sure if Brooke shared the same feelings.

Anna and Destiny both looked at each other with knowing looks and then rolled their eyes. "Yeah, well, while you were testing, we happen to find a Drake to take us up to the Great Spyre, however, we need to get some armor in order to do so"

Emma was about to comment but she then received a whisper from her professor.

"Miss EmeraldBlossom, please report to my classroom ASAP, I have a new spell to teach you" said Dalia Falmea

"Ok, professor, I'll be right over"

Emma looked at her friends with a sorry look, "Look, I have to go back to Ravenwood to learn a new spell of some kind, are you girls comfortable being alone and doing the armor thing?" The girls nodded quickly in response.

"Alright, I'll be back as soon as I can"

Destiny and Anna watched as Emma teleported off to Ravenwood. "There she goes to learn Fire Dragon. A Titan spell" Anna said as she took out a spell that is called Storm Lord. Destiny doing the same but her spell is Frost Giant. They both looked at their spells.

"Wish Brooke was here with us… I know she would have loved to join us to defeat Malistaire" said Destiny

Anna nodded, "Yeah, hopefully she'll wake up soon"

With that, they both walked further into the Forum.

Up in Heaven, Valerie and Fleur are both watching Emma and her gang closely. Fleur looked over at her girlfriend, seeing those blue eyes she loved so much staring back at her. "Do you think they can do it, love?" asked Fleur, caressing her cheek.

Valerie smiled and stroked her cheek back, "I know they can. I have faith in them" She kissed the palm of Fleur's hand lovingly. "Malistaire will die. I know that for sure"

Fleur smiled contently, giving her a soft kiss. "Yeah… they'll win" They cuddled together as they looked below them to watch their friends.
