The Valkyrie Came

Sword in hand
I swung through sinew
hacked through bone
heard their screams of pain
painted the earth
with the color of roses

my blood
their blood
mingled and merged
cuts from talons of steel
stealing more energy from me

yet I felt alive
I felt free
desperate to survive
the hords that kept spilling
from the open portal
hacking and killing
the snow starting to fall

my vision started to blur
as I lost control
too exhausted to keep going
all my energy spent
in a last burst of strength
I hacked and I swung wildly
refusing to go down

a stab to my shoulder
a poisonous spike protruding
from my side
I still refused to go down

and then I heard her calling
soaring out of the sky
wings so vast, beauty radiating
pushing the beasts back where they belong
she whispered to me sofly
lifting my limp body from the ravaged earth
"I should of came sooner
you have already displayed your strength
now sleep and later you will feast
with the great Valfather"

I slept and dreampt
of the battles of old
dreampt of peace
dreampt of war

the end was coming
but was I ready?
I passed the test
but we all know:

they will come from Jotunheim
and wreak havoc upon man and god alike
they will lay waste to Asgard
and we must fight
before Fenris is unleashed
and reunited with his father Lokhur
and all is lost
to the darkness predicted of old
