Sweetness [Max+open]

[vally]

Her past had hit her in the face. She had just remembered the abuse she had as a child, how she slept on that hard and uncushioned tar-road that many citizens stepped and spat on everyday. She couldn't believe that her father had disappointed her with leaving her and her mother to die without remorse.

She sat on a rock that was clouded with trees all around it. She was having a personal moment of reflection. Her long brown boots reached to her shank and her hair cut roughly to her shoulders, straightened. She wore a brown bra top and a matching brown skirt that stopped right to her lower thigh.

She stood to her feet and slit a piece of cane that hung out from the rest. She then waved it in the air furiously as though she was fighting. She was, in fact, fighting. She was fighting with herself.

[Max Pryce]

It was always good to look around..and talk to the many Valkyries in this place. Max began to walk around,almost expecting the place. Her eyes were drawn to Candy. She seemed tense and uneasy about something. She had always been very aggressive,sometimes more than a Valkyrie should but she got the job done. Max was worried and walked over to her,the brown boots making a noise. Max was wearing a brown bra top,with showed her pendant . If you look down you'd see a brown mini skirt which reached her lower thigh. On the side of her skirt rest her chakram which she always carried. Looking up she noticed the cane fly,and, jsut stared at the female. ''So I see you have something on your mind,wanna talk about it?'' Max was royalty,but, didn't mean she had to or would disrespect her fellow sisters.

Candy was stabbing the air with her cane when she noticed that Max, The Queen, had come right behind her. She stopped instantly, dropping the cane as she turned to face the woman that was standing right behind her. She had asked about her problems, but Candy realized that the earth was filled with problems and she was simply one of those problems the earth had.

Her eyes glared away from Max, dancing to the moving limb that was behind her instead. She couldn't sense what it was, but she refocused on the woman in front of her. "Talking wouldn't solve anything dear Miss." She said almost robotically.

[Max Pryce]

Max pulled her her curly locks back as she looked at the Valkyrie. She was so quiet,almost in her own world. Max had once thought talking about your feelings was bad and at times it's better not to,but, this wasn't one. ''Well,it might help. I think you should try it. Come on! There must be something on your mind?'' Max was trying to persuade her to speak and hoped she was getting through at all. It was important to Max to interact with all her Valkyries in someway. this would be a way for her to connect with Candy.

[vally]

Candy's eyes met Max's and a moment of silence brushed through them. It was awkward and almost endless. Candy could feel Max's purge and desire to help her, but she was too aware that it wouldn't make a difference. What was disturbing her was the reason she was who she was and she didnt feel like going back to that poor little homeless child anymore. "You don't understand. My problems simply cannot be solved. It cannot." She said coldly, her eyebrows colliding into one another as she shook her head with emphasis. "Don't we have more important things to worry about?"

[Max Pryce]

Max knew this one was hard to crack and it just meant max had to step up her game. ''Maybe your problems cant be solved but not telling me them only it makes it worse. I don't want you dealing with this all this time. You need to be able to trust me. Whatever happened to you,isn't right but I need you to open up.'' Max remembered her question about more important things and Max was well aware what was happening. ''Right now, your important in my book. So start talking!'' Max looked serious but kind at the same time. Sometimes you have to show an aggressive side to get something out of people.

[vally]

The Valkyrie lifted her chin to the air and offered a smirk as the woman's persistence allowed her to see that maybe she was worthy of the leadership they bestowed upon her. She shook her head still not convinced that she must confess her problems to the royal. She placed her hand on the pendant that dropped just above her breast, and then she spoke, "What are you hiding?" She asked her as if she was in an interrogation room. Candy didnt care much about herself, and so she never trusted when others babbled similar sentiments.

[Max Pryce]

''I have nothing to hide,the question is what are you?'' Max raised her eyebrow as she looked at the Valkyrie,she knew somewhere deep inside, Candy wanted to tell max and that gave Max some relief. ''Candy, look I can do this all day with you..I have all the time in the world. Now listen! You seem to think right now that your the only one whose ever had problems,right now. I've had way too many and I don't want you having to deal with this and then eventually another problem occurs. Just let it out,this will be between me and you. You have my word on this.'' Max awaited her to speak.

[vally]

Candy offered a mere sigh. Here they were, two valkyries standing in the middle of the archway and just opposite one another arguing over the problems they face and who was hiding what from who. It was amusing to her, although such never was shwoen on her face. Candy replied, "You somehow think that my time is limited," her face showed her obvious disappointment in Max's statements, "But please note that my plate is clean your royal highness." Candy stated with a sarcastic emphasis on the ending of her sentence. Candy was clearly not going to speak to Max, or anyone else, about her past. It was just one part of her she felt she was weakest in and so she hid it from herself. Clearly, it's surface was already trampled upon.

Lilyanna stared at the two of them knowing how some Valkryies got testy and didn't offer proper respect to a Queen. She just stared getting angry at her and one more word the girl was going to get it. The Valkryies had recently gotten a lot of recruits causing an imbalance of sorts and some needed to be taught their way. When the girl seemed to go too far she walked over with a tough voice said, "You need to show respect for our Queen," folding both arms. Max had been Queen for a long time and long ago proved to be capable of ruling.

[vally]

Candy's eyes were locked with that of the Queen when from behind she heard the voice of another Valkyrie trying to make intercession, yet again. Candy turned around, placing her hands at her waist and raising her eyebrow as if welcoming the woman to the fight. "Who died and made you spokeswoman?" She said as she showed ample attitude towards the other. Candy didnt care if she was disliked by them, she was not here for them. She was here because she was summoned to be and to follow through with the work already started.

"Someone's full of themselves," said Lilyanna before walking up to the woman with a stare down match not showing any weakness to the woman. "A thousand years of fighting," said Lilyanna before giving a look over and had a great idea perfect for someone like her. "Max she's perfect to go against Cristos who's been sabotaging our efforts to get more warrior souls," said Lilyanna referring to demons the last time she'd been in San Fransico. She stared at the woman someone perfect to take on demons and win without having any pity to fight them even if they came disguised as children.

"Hey, guys," said Artemis walking up to the little group smiling at each of them before with a smile looked at a new recruit. She knew new Valkryies we're being brought in to replace some moving on into an afterlife. "Hi, I'm Artemis," said Artemis holding her hand out with a smile trying to be friendly to the new Valkryie. Valkryies had to be the most misunderstood being because of what they did. The had caused a gathering of Valkryies it wasn't everyday a newbie ended up coming.

[Max Pryce]

Lily has guts,that's for sure. Most girls..wouldn't dare interrupt but then again Lily isn't an ordinary girl. Candy seems to not listen, very rough around the edges. Suddenly, Artemis comes up. What a kind Valkyrie she was. She wasn't like the others being part goblin but, family none the less. As I organize my thoughts, I stare at each one of them. ''Hello Artemis. I'm sure you've seen Candy and lily around. Now Lily about your proposal,though very nice and maybe in a different time it would work but right about now..theirs too much evil magic in Avalon to take that risk. Candy, is too new to face off against Cristos. Remember in a fight,it's not all about guts,it's about thinking.'' Max soon pulled her hair back as she awaited to see what one or any of the others would do.

[artemis]

"Of course boss woman," said Artemis before smiling at the other two and knew many didn't approve of a half breed being able to be a Valkryie at all. She looked at them before smiling a bit more and knew things outside had grown hotter. "I ran into this crazy woman a demon out there getting involved in our matters something must be done personally I don't like to be interrupted on a hunt," said Artemis turning around to looked at Max. The demons had interrupted her for a last time and would soon be facing punishment one way or another Artemis always got revenge. "Demons must learn to respect Valkryies," said Artemis looking at her with a grim look battle seemed to be brewing for them all.
