Woah! New chapter coming right up! You know I was shocked when I saw a review a night after I uploaded this. ; Well, no complaints! xD I have one correction though. I wrote that Elisha Silvermoon was a Sage. She's supposed to be a Professor. xD Sorry for the mistake!

Anonymoussi – Wee, thanks! But seriously I never expected anyone to review. ; Thanks for the encouragement!

Okay, on to Chapter 1!

Chapter I

Up in the sky in Valhalla where Gods and Valkyries roam, there lived a very famous Valkyrie who goes by the name of La Laine. Her long straight black hair danced with the wind. Unlike other Valkyries, her eyes were of the same color, which helped her stood out from the rest. She spent her time watching people roam around Midgard, staring at how they could survive in such a place. Ragnarok was near and yet it was as if nothing will happen.

Her ocean-blue eyes scanned the ground. It was the usual. In the capital, Prontera, it was a place for busy shoppers and sellers. Some of the most famous guilds hung out there, talking about their next move for the next War of the Emperium. Prontera's satellite, Izlude, was full of adventurers willing to risk their lives in the dark caves of Byalan. In Geffen, the people near the fountain usually sat on the benches, catching up on the latest news. Some were adventuring the mysterious Geffenia. In Alberta, ships were docking by, traveling to Amatsu, Kunlun, Louyang, or Ayothaya. Morroc still has its own beauty though covered in sand. The only strange thing you see in Morroc is its water; so pristine in such a desert. North of the capital, Prontera, was Al de Baran. Probably one of the most peaceful and disciplined sites you've ever seen.

The Valkyrie frowned. "There's nothing new," She thought out loud. "Nothing…"

While in deep thought, it struck her. "Maybe the Novice Academy has something… different." She thought.

She stood up and once again and scanned the Novice Academy. Novices were all lined up, learning new things about Midgard. Everyone was in solo traveling, probably didn't want company.

But Valkyrie La Laine's eyes were so persistent. Finally, something caught her eye. It was a group of friends, very unique from what she saw around the Novice Academy. Two boys and five girls were sitting, forming a circle. "Sense." She casted softly. From what she sees, a boy was older by one year and the other has a twin. A girl was younger. The rest were of the same age.

At last, Valkyrie La Laine smiled. Though it was small, she could see that friendship is blooming. "Maybe I'll stick around with this group," She mumbled to herself, smiling. "I might find something interesting inside them."

"Okay we've been through this." Eight-year old Leanne Higurashi said. Her blue eyes sparkled in the light and matched with her straight, long blue hair. "We've studied about the basic skills we need to know. I think we're ready."

"Hey Lea," Another eight-year old said and goes by the name of Rey La Magnus. She was lying on her stomach, her feet swaying in the air. "Do you really think so?"

Lea giggled. "I think so. I want to be a good Assassin Cross just like my dad!" She declared. "How about you guys?"

"I'll want to be a High Priest!" Nine-year old Clement Françoise said, with his apple-green eyes shining.

"A unique Whitesmith!" Dark brown haired Jiang Uan Zhen declared, playing with her ponytail. Her silver eyes were the most captivating about her.

"A very rich Creator…" Jesse Silvermoon dreamed out loud with hopeful amethyst eyes. He almost looks like Clement except that he has light-brown hair.

Elisha Silvermoon giggled, and tossed her light brown her backward. "If I were to choose, I might want to be a powerful Professor like mom, right, Jesse my twinnie?"

"I'll be a Sniper like my dad!" Rey said. "How about you, Lila?"

The youngest of all, seven-year old Lillan La Magnus thought for quite a while, her deep purple eyes looking at the ground. "Lord Knight like mommy!"

RIIIIIIIIIIING! The bell finally rang. It was time for them to take the test.

The group stood up and waved good bye to each other. Good luck was spoken by each one of them.

After a while, all the Novices came out of their rooms. The hall was filled with joy because finally, they could go to their respective job classes. It was a time for good bye to everyone yet no one seems to mind at all.

"So I guess this is good bye?" Rey asked, teary-eyed.

"I'm going to miss you all." Lea said, smiling sadly.

Elisha waved her hand. "Nuh-uh. We'll still be together." She declared. She brought out seven different colored communicators. "Jesse and I made this—"

"—so we can all still stay in touch with each other." Jesse finished her sentence.

Each one of them took a communicator. After walking, they stood behind a gate. One more step, and the ground will teleport them to their respective towns.

They all looked into each other's eyes.

It was now or never.

All at the same time, they stepped out and vanished into thin air.

Valkyrie La Laine did not take her eyes away from the group. She was impressed by the special bond they have in each other. Looking behind her, a big clock was ticking. It wasn't an ordinary clock. It can estimate the time of Ragnarok. She narrowed her eyes in disgust when she thought of the Dark Lord, the Baphomet, and the Lord of Death.

Her hand reached for the surface of the clock. The short hand was placed at ten and the long hand was placed on twelve. She frowned. Ragnarok will be in ten years. No doubt about it. The Gods all think that no one will survive, especially one who could predict that future, someone like Urd. She did try to convince them but it was of no use. The Gods have a higher rank that can not be insulted.

The Valkyrie narrowed her eyes in anger and clenched her fists. They were all wrong… dead wrong. She recalled the events of the group in the Novice Academy. "If no one will survive, they will." She thought persistently. She's not going against the Gods or against the rules. After all, there was nothing written that she can not at least guide their path.

She glanced at the gate of the Novice Grounds where the group was. "I'm sure," she murmured to herself. "That you all will be the greatest heroes of Midgard…"
