Chapter 1
It was noon when the loud groans of the Valkyries could still be heard in the halls of Asgard. At this time Kara let each of her recruits prove their skills, she was a strict but very understanding mentor and even if she seemed quite cold-hearted to everyone who met her for the first time, she was one of the most joyful inhabitants of Asgard, she could just not stand mistakes, no matter how small they seemed. Again,â her stern voice rang out and the two young Valkyries started moving again. Her dark skin seemed to reflect the sun, which was still brightning the sky with its light while her eyes followed the movements of her recruits. If it was up to the self-confident young woman, her protĂ©gĂ©s could sweat until evening, but Namine, her closest confidant and best friend, had other plans. The angelic woman strode into the arena with a mixture of elegance and healthy self-confidence and grinned wryly at Kara. Namine felt sorry for the recruits and although she was worried that Kara would train them to death, she also just wanted to spend time with her friend again - it had been too long since they had seen each other. ''Recruits! It is already late. You can leave as soon as youâve cleaned up,âł she called out, and although some of them were already getting ready to clean up, the majority looked over to Kara for a wordless confirmation in the form of a slight nod. With a slightly angry look she looked at her friend. âYou canât keep interrupting my training sessions, Namine. This is the third time this week.âł With a grin on her face, the blonde Valkyrie shrugged her shoulders. âIf I said I missed you would you believe me?âł Sometimes Kara wondered why she even bothered with Namine anymore and didnât just ignore everything and everyone until she was given an assignment like SvĂĄfa, but she was able to answer that question in the same breath. Kara, Namine were created together with Valkyrie - the third in the group - as the first of their kind by their king Odin, which is why these three have a special connection to each other, even if each of them could not be different from the other.
âAre you still mad?â asked Namine after a while in which the two had walked silently side by side. With a feigned annoyed expression Kara looked at her. âDo I still seem mad?..,, The blonde Valkyrie shrugged with her shoulders. She just wanted to spend time with her friend again. "Iâm really sorry, by Odinâs name, but you looked so desperate and tired, and I havenât seen you for three days, and -âł Karaâs laughter interrupted her rant. She's always been the soft one of the two. "All right, I just wanted to annoy you. But stop it, they are under my supervision, that means I am responsible if they fail and Odin has no use for them and sends them to Valhalla to do nothing but serve wine and ale,âł she snorted at the thought alone, no definitely not with her girls. Valkyries were warriors, not maids. Besides, you should also work on your own defense Namine. Just because there is no war at the moment, you're slacking off, my recruits might beat you,â she teased as they made their way into the palace garden. âExcuse me? My defense is-â, she didnât get any further, Kara had brought her down with a wave of her hand. ''Miserable. Thatâs what you wanted to say, isnât it?â, laughing, she ran into the garden with an indignant Namine right behind her.
