“Watch yourself!” Leena warned her. It had been the female elf who had dragged her from her mount. Leena had seen the beast man jumping from the side when the human girl had been engaging in combat with another man, unaware there had been another opponent pouncing toward her. Leena knew of people who drew power from animals …berserkers… and fought with the strength of the creatures they had obtained power from but never had she seen the likes of this, men transforming into the very creatures. With grim eyes Leena observed the foes change completely to beasts, monsters that looked like wolves but were far more monstrous and cunning who stood several feet taller than them on their hind legs with their long arms extended ready to shred.
Epilogue
“Birds flying high, you know how I feel…Sun in the sky you know how I feel…breeze drifting on by…” Nina Simone.
“Sister you have done well” the elder Valkyrie, Gunnr said.
Dagny smiled as she peered below at the ongoing fierce battle. The two Valkyries sat on top of a hill that gave them a perfect view of the bloodshed happening. An intoxicating sensation rose from the war field and breezed to them. Gunnr inhaled deeply and closed her eyes, feeling the excitement course through her blood, and renewing the strength in her weak bones. Power surged in her bones as the war intensified.
Gunnr peeled her eyelids open. With beaming eyes, she said. “It is time.”
