The Throne Of Valor
Aerin: The Last Call

Ocean Dragon’s Cross, Border region between Dwarfold with Saint’s Haven.

Rumbling of heavy rain at night, thunderstorms struck whatever was below, accompanied by strong winds made the waves of the ocean fierce.

Erenel was on his way to Parmel Castle, Arendel Town, to enlist the help of the other Queen Aerin who was reigning at Parmel Castle.

(Fyi: Queen Aerin divides her body into 2 bodies using the secret magic of the Elf Country. One wise and elegant body ruled the Elf Country, and the other body adventured with Edward to gather a war fleet.)

After a long ferocious journey, Erenel finally arrived at Parmel Castle at night.

Erenel flew straight to the throne of Queen Aerin and laid Edward right at the feet of Queen Aerin, under the throne.

All eyes around the throne room Queen Aerin glued to see Edward's body that had turned blue and stiff.

Seeing her husband turn blue, Queen Aerin immediately went down and held Edward in her arms.

Queen Aerin rubbed her fingers on her husband's lethargic face, slowly pulling out the frozen sword on her chest, until Queen Aerin tore her dress and slowly enveloped Edward in her lap.

A palace noble approached her and whispered in Queen Aerin's ear and said, “Your Majesty the Queen .

Queen Aerin turned her head and replied, “I know. Now, everyone please leave this room. I want to spend my time with my husband for a moment.”

After the rungan was empty and quiet, Queen Aerin cried so badly. He was not willing that the only one he had at this moment should leave.

“My dear, there is only one way to revive you .. that is by implanting my seal on you,” whispered Queen Aerin to Edward's ears with teary eyes.

Right, there's only one way to bring Edward to life: sacrifice.

In the secret of the Elf Kingdom, there is one ritual that can be used to bring to life the fallen, namely with the mantra “Tel Numra” where only the supreme leader can use this ritual.

The consequence of this ritual is that the giver of the ritual will die and unite with the body of the person who wants to be revived.

The advantage of this ritual is that the person being turned on will gain a little power from the ritual giver.

After quite a while of crying and thinking about her decision, Queen Aerin activated her seal and began to perform the seal-planting ritual on Edward's body.

One day…

One weeks…

One month…

After reaching one month, the ritual performed by Queen Aerin was finally completed.

…

Asgard, Valhalla Gate.

After last hearing the voice of Queen Aerin, Edward opened his eyes and found himself already in a different world and location.

In front of him was currently seen an enormous gate towering up into the sky.

As Edward walked closer, slowly the gate opened. Shortly afterwards a voice sounded saying, “welcome, Warrior!”

For some reason, Edward's legs and body followed the voice so that he slowly entered the Valhalla gate.

Strange inscriptions around the gate were seen giving off a golden light.

The light-emitting writings formed a formation Edward had never seen before.

After Edward arrived inside the gate, a hall like the Colosseum was seen in front of him at this time, but the Colosseum was very large.

His columns were towering, and around him were many Valkyries cheering him on.

“Welcome, Warrior!”

“Valkyrie new has arrived!”

“The Son of the Goddess Valkyrie arrives. Yours!”

Edward lifted his gaze into the middle of the Colosseum arena and he saw the figure of his mother standing holding a large shield and a flaming sword.

As Edward approached to face his mother, all the Valkyries in the hall raised their swords in tribute to Edward.

“My son, you've finally arrived here. That means your mortal self is dead.” Edward's mother stood up from her throne and hugged Edward with the cry of a mother who missed her child.

“I'm dead?”

“What happened? I don't remember anything.”

After Edward answered his mother's words, from Valhalla Gate an Elven woman with pointed ears ran panting like chasing something.

All the Valkyries in the room were shocked to see that there were others who could break through the Valhalla Gate fortress easily.

“Edward!!” the woman called out to Edward from a distance.

Edward took off his embrace on his body and turned to look at the woman who called out to him.

“Edward, come! Hold hands! Quick, my time is not much!”

Edward found it strange to see the woman, as he remembered nothing after she died, including the woman who was calling his name at this time.

“I don't know you. Go!” edward shouted with a foreign look at the woman, then turned around and followed her Mother leaving the Colosseum Hall.

All the Valkyries in the hall immediately surrounded and imprisoned the woman.

…

Night, in the City of Asgard.

Right now, Edward was sitting in the armory and staring out the window.

Outside the window, Edward saw a stretch of galaxi and scattered nebulae.

For some reason, Edward suddenly remembered a woman who had called him earlier. He felt something was wrong with the woman, like there was something on her to do.

During his sitting and gazing out, Edward felt extremely agitated and disoriented. Something very wrong is going on and the answer is like it's on that woman.

With a strong sense of turbulence in his mind, Edward dashed out towards the Valkyrie prison.

Upon Edward's arrival, he saw the woman's hands and legs tied in tight chains.

Even her neck was held in an armoured ring so the woman seemed to have difficulty breathing.

Inexplicably, Edward suddenly became so enraged by what had happened to the woman that the holding cell that blocked him was instantly crushed to pieces by her.

After destroying the cell, Edward immediately removed the entire chain that was holding the woman and gave her water to drink.

“Uhuk ... uhuk .. Edward, my time is soon. Please, believe whatever I say.”

The woman immediately put her hands on Edward's cheeks and said, “with this touch, my ritual was finally fulfilled. Uhuk .. uhuk. Edward, I love you ..”

Suddenly the woman's body instantly turned to ashes and fell to the ground.

I don't know what the woman meant, but Edward seemed to really believe what the woman said.

Edward lowered his body and collected the ashes in his pants pocket.

Without realizing it, the tears of Edward finally dripped.

There was no reason why he was crying, no reason why he felt lost, he just felt it without understanding what it meant.

After a few moments of crying without his control, Edward sat in the holding cell and fell asleep.

*****

Albama, United States.

Snow fell accompanied by thunderstorms, strong winds, and boisterous trees that collided as if to witness the cruelty of the weather.

Gwen had been standing at Steph's door for a long time, but there was no answer.

Steph's house lights went out too, like there was no life. Pahadal, his car and shoes are still parked neatly in front of his house.

Left with no choice, Gwen tries to enter through the open window in front of Steph's house.

Slowly Gwen entered the dark house, all the space she had explored, but there was no sign of life there.

“The car is there, the wheelchair is also neatly parked in the room .. Steph, where are you?”

..."*Everyone probably thinks that I am...

...a great person. Yet I am I, I am a human being who can cry, hurt, and be broken*."...
