Prologue
There was a time, when gods and goddesses ruled the world, a time when magic and sorcery were not merely figments of imagination. A time where humans were made to be trifled with, their lives for the god's amusements. It was also the time where the balance of the universe was in a delicate equilibrium.
It was the time of war.
[A pair of fathomless silver blue eyes snaps open, power burning from within. Suddenly, a bright light shatters the crystal that encases a woman dressed in brilliant robes.]
Who haven't heard…
Of the countless tales about the battles the gods wage to gain the ultimate powers that could rule the world?
[A delicate white hand rises slowly and places it against an invisible barrier, instantly dissipating the last seal which prevented her from fully re-awakening.]
The legend of Odin's daughter, next only to her father. How even the other gods feared her unparalleled power and sealed her away in Franangr, a mystical waterfall where she had laid for the longest of time. Waiting for the moment wherein she would be most needed.
A.N. Franangr = (pronunciation) Franan –ger
[She glides forward, floating above the air charged with intense magic. As if by command, the curtain of water that shielded her resting place drew apart, letting her through.]
Two figures waited for her on the other side. One majestic and infinitely powerful, the other delicate and yet not lacking might of her own.
Odin and his wife, Freya. A welcoming smile graced their lips as they beheld the daughter they haven't seen for the longest of time imaginable.
"Lord Father…"
Odin simply held out his arms and drew his daughter close. For a moment he simply held her, waiting for the relief to subside. His initial fear that his daughter might not reawaken has vanished, leaving only an immense amount of joy at having her back.
"…why hast thou summoned thee?"
Freya stepped forward, her pleasure at seeing Odin's daughter disappearing. "We cannot speak of matters here, Daughter of Odin. We cannot risk of someone knowing that thou hast returned. Come child, Valhalla awaits."
Odin nodded. "I'm afraid Freya's right, my daughter. Unknown dangers awaits in your shrine, for many has attempted to awaken thou."
"What do you mean, Lord Father?"
Freya interrupted, saying, "There is no time. We must go, at once."
The other two nodded and in a blink of an eye…the three disappeared. Leaving only the shattered remains of a large crystal and the silent rustling of the waterfall as the only witness as to what have occurred.
The Valkyrie's Awakening.
