Chapter 7 – Homecoming

After the daughters of Odin shared their tales with my family, and I shared mine from Folkvangr with them, ending in the Stand of the Valkfela on this day, it was well into the night. We decided to wait until the morrow to travel to Valhalla to meet with Odin. I was saddened that my sister Geiravor was not in Valhalla, but a new Asgard settlement on Earth sounded exciting. I was dumbstruck when they announced I could still speak with her in Valhalla as the Asgard had developed faster than light communications with Earth.

The worst part of the night was informing Malesk and Rosa of the heroic death of Brun when they arrived at my quarters. I told them of her acts of honor and extraordinary acts of valor, how much I loved her, was proud of her, and would miss her. She would be interred in our Hall of Heroes. They took the news with pride, though I knew Rosa would be heartbroken for life and would most likely break down as soon as they got back to their quarters. My heart ached for them.

Tyr had called Kara on coms. The second shift from Valhalla had arrived to guard the secondary shield, and he and the other men were retiring to Valhalla. He asked to speak with me. She flicked her coms to a console. There was a few seconds of static as the systems learned to speak to each other before his voice came through. He wanted me to inform the Illrovin that Ragnarok vessels would most likely come soon to collect the dead, and maybe photon tractors from the ships above would be used. He wanted to alleviate any fears of secondary attacks and to know to just leave them to their grisly task. He wasn't sure of the protocols here and didn't want to step on any toes.

I assured him that he could speak directly to the First Protector of the Gates of Heildfine in the future.

Then we all turned in, the Valkyrie all insisted on sleeping in the sunken seating couches, they would not take anyone’s quarters and would not deny I or my mates our bed. I smiled when my little Kara came out with her favorite blanket and snuggled in with Kara and Kat and whispered, “Please tell me a bedtime story of valor.”

I left to join my mates in our bedroom as Kara started a tale called “The Innocent and the Fox”, to the gentle hissing of Inatra. I was becoming quite fond of that young Ragnarok.

I cuddled under the covers with my mates and softly cried myself to sleep as they held me and gently stroked my hair. For the first time in five thousand turns I felt safe and I could finally relax.

In the morning, Latalia woke me by gently kissing and blowing on my neck. Odin's beard that was seductive! She grinned cutely at me and said, “Well met love.”

I cupped her cheek in a hand and she leaned into it and closed her eyes.
