Death Maiden

*poetry

My father is a king, my sister is a princess . . . and I am a death maiden.

My heart has been captured by a warrior boy, but a valkyrie has no time for love. Valhalla awaits the delivery of honored dead, and any delay will draw unwanted attention. Attention that will put the boy I love in danger, and my loyalty to Asgard in question.

The threads of fate spin as I struggle to reconcile my role and my love, but the cruelty of the gods may lay waste to the hope in my heart as destiny calls for blood and death.

*includes the poem The Valkyrie and Raven
