Author's Note: Hey, its been a while. I do apologize for kinda dropping it, but I'm back and reworking this story from the drafts I had.
Chapter I: Valkyrie
"Haruka, we should hurry to Asgard. Lord Odin is waiting for the warriors' arrival." The brunette peeked through her helm to the lively Haruka in mid swing. Her semi-braided blond hair swayed behind her back as she faced her older sister, Yukino. Haruka towered over Yukino in terms of height and build. If there were visible to the masses one would think the other the younger sibling. However, Yukino, being the voice of reason had more sense to abide by their Father and not keep him waiting. She is also a shield maiden with more skill in combat and feminine charms that will comfort or cut down even the hardiest of warriors.
Haruka's blue eye glared down at Yukino and conceded to the sister's request. She returned her blade to the sheath. She turned back around to the onslaught before her. "Come children of Odin. The fight will continue so as long as you will battle for victory. Our Lord-Father waits for your presence in the Halls of Valhalla." A light encompassed the field of the slain and a bridge was brought down. The sisters crossed the bridge with their spoils from the turbulent battle nearing its conclusion.
In one of the many halls, tables were littered with many offerings mortals had laid before them. Wooden mugs filled to the brim with mead. Roasted game piled high on the platters. All of which served by beautiful maidens. There was one in particular topping off the drinks for the warriors amidst their merriment. In a modest white dress, Shizuru was indeed a sight to see. Coy smiles graced her lips as she allowed her touches to linger here and there. Her creamy smooth skin enticed many, but the moment their eyes would meet, they are reminded of who they are in the presence of.
Shizuru was the eldest sister of the Valkyries. The ash blonde hair shimmered in the light giving her an ethereal aura. The twinkle of mischief in her mahogany eyes invites jabs of innuendos from both parties. On the battlefield her eyes likened to that of the blood spilt. Her muscles rippled with every movement. But what was most unsettling was her calm and composed demeanor when she dealt with some of the overly excited guests. Summons were made to Shizuru and immediately left the hall purposely swaying her hips upon exiting.
Yukino and Haruka headed to their lofts after returning their pegasi to the stables. "Welcome back, little ones." Shizuru said approaching the maidens. "I see that there were many new faces in Valhalla, was that your doing?" Yukino blushed in the presence of their elder sister. Haruka puffed her chest out and grinned at the acknowledgement.
"Of course, Shizuru! What else would you expect from us?" Haruka boomed in the tranquil fields. Yukino sighed and shook her head. Looking apologetically at Shizuru, Yukino pinched the sides of Haruka making her yelp in pain. Haruka glowered at the childish punishment she received. "Yukino! What was that for?!" Shizuru chuckled in amusement.
"You could be more proper when speaking with our eldest sister, Haruka." Flabbergasted at the accusation, Haruka stomped her foot and crossed her arms turning away from Yukino. Another sigh escaped her lips and turns to Shizuru. "Do be careful, Sister." Yukino advises Shizuru. Haruka look puzzled not quite understanding the words of caution. Nonetheless Shizuru smiled and patted Haruka's shoulder and kissed Yukino's cheek. She continued to the stables as the younger sisters watch her back disappear in the distance.
Prepping her Pegasus, Shizuru thought back to conversation with Odin. He had appeared in the hall and signaled Shizuru to follow him. Continuing out into the courtyard, Odin spoke. "Yukino and Haruka are returning from a battle amongst a war between two Kings." Shizuru listened silently. "The Obsidian King and his adversary the Great Blade Miroku will be on the oncoming battle⦠Bring the Blade to me." Shizuru stood expressionless waiting for Odin's monologue to continue. "King Reito will offer more warriors for our cause in time." With a slight bow she headed towards the armory and donned her heavy armor and spear.
