Chapter 1- A New Captain

Location: Clover Kingdom, Royal Capital, Magic Knight HQ, Julius' Office

Three months after Spade War

"You want me to what?!" A young woman stared at Julius in disbelief, but he only smiled back at her, calm and confident. "You have to be joking."

"I'm not," Julius said, no hint of hesitation in his voice. "I want you to be the captain of your own squad of Magic Knights."

The woman in question ran a hand through her thick, heather-colored curls, her bright green eyes meeting Julius'. "It's not that I'm not honored, but surely there are better candidates. I'm not even from the Clover Kingdom."

"Neither is Yami and he makes a remarkable captain," Julius reasoned. "If that's all you're concerned about, then you'll do fine."

"You already do all of my paperwork and you run the base smoothly. It won't be any different if you have a squad of your own Valance," a cheerful voice added.

Valance narrowed her eyes slightly, shifting her gaze to meet the excited pink eyes of her aqua-haired captain. "Captain Rill, you do realize that if I leave, the Aqua Deer will no longer have a vice-captain and that you'll be the one having to run the base and do your own paperwork."

Rill laughed, brushing away her worries with a large smile, "You make it sound like I never do any of it."

Valance paused, well he did do some of it, but only after she or Walter dragged him out of his room to do it. If he was left to his own devices, he'd paint all day and blow out the walls in his room with his magic which he was known to do.

"And besides," The sudden seriousness in Rill's voice pulled Valance out of her thoughts, "It's time I take being a captain more seriously myself. That means doing the actual paperwork." He looked gloomy for a second, "The elf invasion and the recent war with Spade made me realize that I haven't been acting completely as a captain should, it's time I stepped up. And no offense Valance, but I don't think I can do that if you're there, I don't think I'd be able to stop myself from going back into the habit of relying on you to do most of the work."

Valance gaped stunned at her captain, she was pretty sure that was the most serious thing he had ever told her. A small smile formed on her lips. "Looks like you've matured a bit captain."

"Maybe." He said, giving a smile back.

She looked at him a while longer before turning back to Julius, excitement forming in her eyes as her lips curled up in a grin. It would be a while for Rill to find another vice-captain and run the Aqua Deer by himself smoothly, but most of her worries were gone. Rill was the youngest captain in Magic Knight history for a reason, he'd manage.

"Okay Julius, I'll take you up on your offer." She said, "But first, can I ask why you think the Magic Knights need another squad?"

Julius turned away to look out his window, contemplative. "One reason is that I think you'd make an excellent Captain. You've been brilliant as the vice-captain of Aqua Deer, and I think you'll grow into an even better Magic Knight with a squad of your own. Secondly, it's been a while since we've had any new squad form. Hopefully, the idea of a new squad will also draw in more people for the Magic Knight entrance exam happening in three months."

Valance nodded along, it made sense, the Magic Knight entrance exam was coming up fast and the idea of a new squad may draw in more candidates. The exams also couldn't have come at a better time; the Magic Knights had lost many of their numbers with the war with Spade; they needed new recruits more than ever, but... "I understand that we need to replenish the number of Magic Knights but, why do we need a new squad? Wouldn't examinees want to join a more established squad instead of a new one?"

"That leads me to my last reason, a new beginning or a rebirth perhaps," Julius said.

"A new beginning? What do you mean?" Valance asked, not following his line of thought. She glanced at Rill, and he looked just as confused as her.

Julius looked back towards Valance and Rill. "Just that, a clean slate, a squad that will welcome everyone and anyone. I personally like to think that it's renewing our vow to protect the Clover Kingdom no matter what."

"Makes sense..." Valance said deep in thought. Personally, she also thought the lack of squad history would be appealing to some, there wouldn't be any powerful figures that they'd have to live up to; at least in the squad itself. She knew she had hated hearing the amazing feats Julius, Yami, and William did in Grey Deer, sometimes it felt like she could never reach their heights hearing those stories.

"I understand," Valance said pulling herself out of her thoughts when she realized that both Rill and Julius were waiting for her to speak. She brought her hand to her chest, saluting him. "I won't let you down, Lord Julius."

"I know you won't," Julius smiled at her, knowing that he could rely on her like he did the rest of his captains. He also couldn't wait to see how the other captains would react to the news of a new squad, he was sure it'd be interesting.

"So, what's the squad's name? Rill asked.

"More importantly, what type of squad do you want it to be?" Julius asked.

"Hmmm..." Valance closed her eyes, thinking for a moment when a warm, nostalgic voice:

"Remember Valance, every star is unique, and they should all be valued the same. After all, even the smallest star will glow brightly given the chance."

"I got it," Valance finally said, meeting Julius' smile with one of her own, "I want my squad to be a place where everyone can grow and get stronger, no matter where they came from and Julius you said something about rebirth right? So how about... Celestial Phoenix?"

"I love it!" Both Rill and Julius were suddenly in her face, stars in their eyes.

Valance took a couple of steps back, a light blush on her cheeks, "I-it actually sounds a bit too grand now that I've said it out loud." She said sheepishly.

"Not at all," Julius quickly shook his head. "I think it sounds perfect. I can't wait to see how your new squad does along with the rest of the Magic Knights!" He said getting excited. "I wonder what type of magic they'll have?!" Stars danced in his eyes as he worked himself up in his excitement.

"Let me recruit them first before you drool over their magic!" Valance teased, but she couldn't wait either. The next few months would be interesting.

Done! What do you guys think? Sorry if the characters are a bit OOC.

Reviews are always welcome! I love to know what you think!
