The Ark Of The Pillars Sets Out

"Yes, I'll meet you when that Angry Man returns. In the meantime, you can supervise your underlings to defeat those dolls while watching the orphans. I don't think Clement can survive alone with so many kids at once."

"I'm counting on the sea and air defenses," commanded the Headmaster as Ysabeau and Z left the area.

"If all of your members are alright with it, then yes, you may proceed with the task on hand. But make sure to do the briefing first before I open the gates for your battles. I feel that the Knights would be stationed everywhere in Albion, so everyone has to watch out."

"I'll try my best to hone into the location as close as possible. If I'm off course, I apologize in advance," explained Gillian, bowing down.

"No need to feel sorry when you've already done us a huge favor. We'll figure it out by ourselves once we touch down in Albion. Many thanks, Headmaster Gillian," said Ashley, grinning.

Mavislin nodded as she cleared her throat and faced her underlings. Despite having the Flame Empress of Helios armor bestowed upon her, Mavislin chose another outfit set that could compliment the weapons and Element she would be using against Galahad.

But it was more of a dress than actual battle wear as it only consisted of an ocean blue short dress with a matching coat that looked like it was made out of Water Elemental streams. As the Valkyrie pulled out her hair tie, her hair changed from chestnut brown to ocean blue with aquamarine ends.

Mavislin's eyes turned from brown to shimmering aquamarines, like her hair tips. Duncan and Midori gazed at their boss in awe, while Rina was captivated by how beautiful Valkyries could be when invoking power.

"Let's do this. All of you know your targets and what to do after defeating the Knights. The final one would be the King herself, so be prepared. I don't want anyone to falter against the enemy, even if they've got a good mouth."

"Remember all the details you have studied about your targets and use the information to your advantage. Once you are done, activate your Signal Crystal, and Gillian will open the pathway back to the Old Chapel. With that being said, are you all ready?" briefed Mavislin.

The members of the Barren Pillars looked at each other and nodded, with Duncan and Midori holding each other hands.

"Alright then! Let's hurry it up by starting with Rina. You will be facing the Knight of Loyalty, Bedivere. Good luck and happy fighting," said Mavislin as she gently pushed Rina towards Gillian.

"Opening five pathways at the same time? Are you sure you are not overworking me, Valkyrie Of Arcadia?" questioned the Headmaster as he cracked his knuckles and neck.

"I thought you boasted about being the best gate creator in the Universe? This task should be peanuts for you, Akhatenian Ruler Of Primordial Beasts," shot back Mavislin, folding her across her chest.

"You got me there, Bright Eyes. I'm just lazy to open five portals..."

"Then I'm too lazy to keep the secret of you smoking with Tomoe from your wife."

"Fine! You win..."

Gillian cursed under his breath as the book opened again, and five pages escaped from the fluttering book.

"Since we have no clue about the whereabouts of all the Knights, I will use the legends of the Knights as an anchor to open the exits. Even though I can open multiple portals at once, I can only allow one to pass through at any given time, or else the Old Chapel would freak out," said Gillian.

Everyone nodded together, and a single page flew in front of Rina.

"The Knight Of Loyalty... The one who was with the King until his final breath as he took Excalibur and returned it to the Lake, allowing the King to rest eternally in Avalon. Bring me to his location! Steady and anchor! Open the gates to Bedivere!" yelled the Headmaster as the portal was created.

The portal was a wooden door with a fake arm carving. The Flower Mage thought nothing of it as she took a step closer.

"Now for the next one, Ashley. You are the Marksman Pillar, so it's only natural for you to go against the Knight of the Bow, Tristan. But, do not be swayed with his emotions of dread and depression..." instructed Mavislin, pointing at the Marksman Pillar.

"Well, I can't be suicidal since I'm already dead, so there's nothing to worry about. Unless I can die again?" quizzed Ashley playfully.

"Would you like me to make it possible for you?" thundered the Valkyrie, who wasn't liking Ahslye's tone.

"Nah... I wouldn't want that. Let's finish this task so I can go back and sleep properly," said Ashley, stretching his arms.
