A.N. I own only Melly, Cass, and Artemis. Also, I know the chapters are short; they're short and sweet, designed to be touching. Also, the story is told from Skulduggery's POV. Please review! Thanks, Artygirl.
Valkyrie. My partner, my student. So brave, so reckless. A stubborn little girl, yet one I care for.
When I first saw her, at her uncle's funeral, I quietly admired her strength. She had been so close to the dead man, yet didn't cry in front of others. She was all Gordon had been and more. Not one to quit because of one failure. When I saved her life she showed me she was both brave and stubborn.
Despite her being such a combination of traits I feel like I've known her forever.
Valkyrie is a combination of the three women I loved-my wife, my daughter, and my dearest friend. All of whom I failed. Two of whom are now dead, both because I failed them. Valkyrie is my chance to make it all right.
