Bo is a Shieldmaiden, Tamsin is the Valkyrie that trains her
So just a quick heads up - I just write in my spare time, so not always the best work, and despite being a history major, I know literally nothing about life in Norway in the 9th.c so please take this for what it is, not everything will be historically perfect but I will try, but feel free to point out any inconsistencies and feel free to review!
This will basically be a reworking of the original Lost Girl plot for the first little bit, but then it branches out - a bit of each relationship - but will eventually be Valkubus - heavy :)
The woman slipped away with the child in the dead of night, taking both her life, and the life of the child, into her hands.
Hades own blood, in her hands. The thought was unthinkable. To kidnap the daughter of a God...
Should she turn back?
But how Aife had begged her. Begged her to save her daughter somehow.
She could feel the eyes of darkness upon her, even so far away. The poor child. Bo. She would never be free of her father, no matter what she did, no matter where she hid. At least placing her somewhere remote would give her a chance at freedom...for a while.
When she reached the village, she bundled Bo up tight and placed her on the first doorstep she came to. The night was cold, and surely nobody would deny a helpless child shelter. She knocked loudly, then ran back towards the woods.
"Skadi, keep me safe," the woman whispered through her cold, chapped lips as she walked through the darkness. The snow was heavy this year, and the night dark, but she knew she had to keep going. Had to find somewhere Hades would leave her be.
When weeks had passed, and she was far from where she left the child, she began to feel safe. One more day, she told herself. One more day and she could stop running.
In her fatigue and stupor, she did not hear the branch crack behind her until she was late. No prayer, not to Skadi, not to Freyja, not to Hel, could save her then.
