Mr Spock POV
It was the most dangerous time in Valhalla, and they all knew it. Everyone in Valhalla knew of the imminent doom that was prophesied.
The headmaster couldn't help but be totally confused about all that had gone awry.
For the first time ever, the elders showed their confusion. It was obvious, they knew nothing of what was going on.
Even as much as they communicate with the deity, they knew only what they were informed. And at this point, they were told nothing about the situation.
With all his experience of war, nothing made less sense than this.
Standing in the power strongroom, with the four elders and the guardian. All staring at the power orb, or what it used to be.
Instead of the blue shining glass ball, in its place stood a red glowing ball. It wasn't just red, no, it had flecks of spark in it.
It wasn't the first time the headmaster witnessed strange things, but it was the first time the elders expressed doubt about something openly, especially about the orb.
"This is a problem," he heard the elder of heart whisper.
Moving close to the orb, she stretched her hands towards it, while her eyes glowed a bright golden color.
The headmaster could tell, she tried to cut through any unwanted disturbance to the orb.
"A presence of an aura, surrounds the orb, but it is an unknown aura, I haven't come in contact with this presence before."
"Yes, I can definitely feel the power of the orb, even stronger than it was. But it feels different, I am not certain how much different it is, but it is," the gift elder contributed.
The headmaster was even more confused. If anyone had come in contact with the orb, he and all the others in the room, would have been alerted.
The power strongroom itself wouldn't allow a strange presence inside.
" So, what does this all mean? And what do we do about it?" The war elder asked. While everyone in the room turned to gaze at the wisdom elder.
Just like always, the wisdom elder remained quiet. His golden eyes glinted with a sense of understanding.
"Don't tell me, you are going to use this moment to manifest your special skill of ignoring important questions?" The gift elder said irritatingly.
"Do not fret over it. I only disclose what is necessary, and important. And if and only if it is not just a mere hypothesis, but a fact.
And if I was to answer your question, I would be stating things based on assumptions." the wisdom elder finally gave away.
The headmaster could see frustration clearly visible on the faces of the remaining elders. He could understand why they felt this way, because even he himself felt angered by events that had taken place.
He couldn't help but pray and hope, that it wasn't an attack by the demons.
As if reading his thoughts, the wisdom elder, turned to the guardian prince.
" Do you feel any strange presence in this building? It could be demonic." He asked.
" No, no one has breached the shields, the only different aura in the academy is that of the human, and no one else."
"And what about the human girl, have you felt this strange aura around her before?"
At the mention of Jay's name, the headmaster came to attention, he felt protective over the girl, he knew what the elders were capable of. And he hoped to the deity that she wasn't involved in any of this.
"No, the girl is as weak and powerless as the dust on my shoes, she can't bear such a powerful aura, even if it was possible."
No matter how strange the girl comes off as, the headmaster couldn't help but agree with the prince. What they were dealing with, was more than Jay girl.
And it was impossible for Jay to pass trough the protection shields around the perimeter. Even he had to go through a lot, to be able to withstand the power pressure of the presence of both the orb and shield, even though the shield was brought down to its lowest point.
Everyone in the room nodded in agreement except the wisdom elder, who stared ahead with his brows squeezed together, deep in thought.
"So, we should cancel the tournament. The academy would be opened to all, both Valkyries and none Valkyries. It would definitely be dangerous to open our borders," The gift elder said.
"No! On the contrary, we shouldn't alert the enemies of our confidence or lack of," war elder contradicted.
"It's better to be safe than sorry," gift elder argued back.
"And it's better to face your fears, head on"
"Would you both shut up and listen to someone that actually have an idea? And for the first time ever, is willing to talk, on his own free will." The elder of heart silenced the two elders.
"You are both right," wisdom elder stated.
"We wouldn't stop the tournament, on the contrary, we should open the invitations further, that means increasing the number of attenders.
But at the same time we use the opportunity to be discrete and find out what we need to."
"Yes! Now all we need is a star of the show, we need to steal the minds of all the observers while we do our work." The elder of heart said with a smile.
" It is expected of the captains to have got that fully covered, as well as our newcomer, the human." The gift elder responded dryly.
Thinking of that, the headmaster wondered about JJ, she got better and better every day they had to train. She did not only give him and the prince a surprise at her fast paced learning, she also gave them a surprise at her determination.
Whenever she fell, she was quick to get back up. And whenever she made a mistake she never repeated same mistake twice.
No matter what it was, he couldn't help but have a liking towards the girl, she had a charm of her own.
But he also hoped that her determination was enough, for he had no doubt that the elders, would use any opportunity to get rid of her.
It was known that they hated what they did not know.
And JJ, is definitely unknown.
