Lately, Sanngriðr hadn't slept well... if she slept at all. Her dreams turned to nightmares before her eyes. She'd toss and turn, even to the point of waking herself up after crying out against them. There was something in her bones that was restless. Too restless. The excess violence was spilling into her system. It would taint the things that she didn't want to touch. A valkyrie, not a housecat. Though she understood the importance of biding her time, it was getting to be too much. How long had she been here? How long had it been since she was in the midst of a good fight? There was something nearly religious about combat. The closest to communing with the gods that she'd ever get. Bleeding, drawing blood. It was in her very nature. The daughter of one of the most fearsome skjaldmær to ever live. It was only right that she grow to be as she was. It only made sense that Sanngriðr woke in the middle of the night, heart pounding in her chest, realizing just how badly every fiber of her being craved glory and gore in equal measure. She felt wildly incomplete. As silently as she could manage, the valkyrie slipped from her family and into the darkness of the night. Wouldn't want to wake them. Wouldn't want to worry them. Their needs would come before her own. For them, she bided her time. For them, she did her best to remain the good example. For them, she'd take in the information she could, learn, grow, and wait. Their time would come soon, after all. With steady, careful steps, Sanngriðr moved into the sparse pines. Light from the full moon above her head to guide her path into the unseasonably chilly night. The valkyrie was consumed by the sound of her own steps, her own breath. Yes, she'd do her best to steady herself. SANNGRIÐR Kom och hata mig. |
