Valkyrie
Description
"My history isn't much anymore, my powers are nothing much either. It's not like I can use them to change my fate. I am still in exile, and I am still forever alone. Will I ever set foot in the halls of Valhalla, our heaven, or will I live my immortal life in this realm without companionship, without love."
Every creature deserves love, even the ones not from this realm.
Note: This story is inspired by the beautiful world of Kresley Cole and Sherrilyn Kenyon. Their writing about the lore and fantastical creatures have inspired many including me.
Foreword
"OK class. Let's talk about mythological creatures in Nordic mythology. We were reading yesterday about mythical stories and make-believe fairies and other worldly creatures of lore. Was there anything interesting that caught your eye?"
"Faeries." I open my eyes.
"What about them that was interesting Luhan?"
"Well apparently the fairies in Peter Pan aren't the fairies in mythology. They call these creatures, fae. And some can be enchanting and others can be ruthless."
"Valkyrie." Kai. I get up from my 'nap.' "Fallen maiden warriors that were known to be courageous in battle. And because of their sacrifice and courage the Norse gods preserved their courage into immortality. They are said to be beautiful and as enchanting as faeries or fae. With their beauty they are also given super strength. The origin of their powers is from lightning. Let's just say that I won't ever look at lightning the same way again." The class laughs with him.
The sky gets dark suddenly. The class begins to talk about how the sky changed so quickly the moment Kai spoke about the valkyrie powers. Then a black raven appears by the window and begins hitting the glass. Some of the girls in the class begin to scream. I realize that I am the one causing the weather to change. I felt a little exposed when Kai was talking about my kind. I am not angry at him, I am mostly angry at my situation. My exile. Lightning strikes. My classmates scream.
