CHAPTER 1: Smile.

Blizard, Thunder, Lightness, Fire, Earth, Water, Darkness and Wind. The eight main elements in Alchemy. Alchemy can be used between Good and Evil. The element that resembles the evil sign is.... The Darkness.


The daughter of the Valkyrie family was the only one who is a Dark mage in the Light family. She was used to be a cheerful girl but one day, a black rose grew deep within her heart. Making her dreams fade away and accidentally killed her own family.


''Why? Why must it be this way? I didn't mean to...'' She started crying. The black rose grew bigger. ''I don't want to kill them...'' 


While then, the High Councils of Radiata were having a meeting in the conference room. 
NOBARA: We should hurry and capture her soon before more people gets murdered. 
TSUKASA: I can't believe that it's one of the Valkyries.. 


''Why don't you just hunt for her and make her my playmate. I got bored wandering around the castle alone with no friends'' A girl came in to the conference room as all the councils looked at her way. 


CHIAKI: Haruka-sama, you should know it's dangerous for a little girl like you. 
HARUKA: I noticed that. Besides, she's just a human at a same age as mine. Everything will work as fine as it is. *grins* 
TSUKASA: I'm a bit worried here. 
HARUKA: I'll make sure I'll change her. 
NOBARA: If that's what Her highness says so. 
TSUKASA: A young child being the Queen. I hope she gets what her job is.


A few months later in Radiata... 
HARUKA: Heyyy whats up? It's been years I've been waiting for your guys to hunt for that Valkyrie girl! Is it really that hard!? 
MAID: Please just wait a little longer. It seems that the Valkyrie is wandering around the world. 
HARUKA: Tch. What a pain in the ass. 


Then suddenly, the knights of Radiata entered the audience hall to make some news for the Queen...
KNIGHT: Your Majesty, we have found her. 
HARUKA: Finally, I've been waiting for ages! *walks out from the audience hall* 


MAID: That girl.. She must remember that she doesn't even have a royal blood... 


In the castle basement... 
HARUKA: What gives? Why did you locked her in prison?
TSUKASA: To make sure she won't do anything suspicious. 


They arrived where the girl is. The girl seemed to be frightening.. She was shivering in horror. She slowly backs away when she saw Haruka standing infront of her. 
HARUKA: *sits on her knees* Hey what's wrong? 
''I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry'' 
HARUKA: Why are you apologizing? 
''I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry...'' She held her head down. 
HARUKA: Tsukasa, unlock the gate. 
TSUKASA: Yes, You're Highness. *unlocks the gate* 
HARUKA: *walks in* Nee... You... What's wrong? 
''Please don't come near me...'' 
HARUKA: It's okay.. There's nothing to be scared of... *holds her hand out* 
''I'm dangerous....'' 
HARUKA: You're not...
The girl looked at Haruka with tears in her eyes.
HARUKA: So please tell me... Your name.. 
''My name is--'' She held her breath for a while and looked down... ''Ery Hanami de Valkyrie'' 
HARUKA: That's a nice name you got there. Ery-chan, please smile.. 
ERY: *looks down* 
HARUKA: Smile... It's the only way to greet people. *smiles* 
ERY: *looks at Haruka* I-I...
HARUKA: *hugs Ery* It's okay. I get your feeling. Killing people is the worst nightmare. So just smile to forget what just happened. 
ERY: *starts crying* H-Haruka-sama... 
HARUKA: *smiles* Now don't cry. I'm here. I'll be your friend from now on. 
ERY: *smiles a bit* Arigatou, Haruka-sama!
