COMANDER BABY GIRL WITH VALKYRIES IN BACKGROUND
How do I look?....
I told my Royal Hairdresser, Blaze, to give me that
wild untamed look.....what do you think?
VIKING HAT
Hi, Time Travellers!
Baby Girl Here!
I'm so excited!
I get to have a gab
fest with the
famous Valkyries!
Butterbye thought up my hat....but it keeps moving all the
time... a girl could get whiplash trying to keep up with it! I
knew I should have used my personal fashion designers
Flare & Glare!
Too late now, here they come! Take a look!
None other than the famous warrior maidens of Odin.
And WOW! They're led by none other than Queen Freya !
I just
love all that sparkling armour....have to ask them who their
fashion designer is! You know, I read in
Valkeryie Today that their
sparking armour supposedly created the famed Aurora Borealis, or the
northern lights. Now that's a lot of sparkle!
"Hi girls! it's me, HRH Commander Princess Baby Girl !"
"Well, hello to you too! You're Baby Girl?"...asked Freya, "Didn't expect
a....a.....well you're different that's for sure."
"Well, you're also not the typical girl next door either are you, Mmmmmmm?"
There was a very big silence as the other Valkyries held their breathes......
suddenly Freya started laughing.....
"Got a point....... you'll make a good Valkyrie, got spirit and certainly guts
to talk to me like that....so what do you want to know?"
"Anything and everything....like how did you get the job? what do you do
and how do you spend your free time...and...."
"First things first, let me introduce you to some of the girls.This is
Brynhildr (" Byrnie of battle"), and this is Hildr(" Battle"), Sigrdrífa ("She
who Drives Victory"), Sigrún ("Knower of Spells of Victory") and Þrúðr
("Strength") and daughter of Thor. Skogul (“Raging”), Hlokk (“Shrieking”)
and Gjoll (“Screaming”) had some clean up work to do.." They all nodded
their hello. "And, of course, you know me...."
"What does your name mean and what do you mean they had some clean
up work?"
"I don't like to brag, but I've got a whole lot of names but
for now lets settle for Possessor of the Slain and Goddess Beautiful in
Tears. As for Skogul, Hlokk and Gjoll, they had to stay behind and
serve drinks, look after the tableware and drinking vessels in Valhalla."
"Doesn't sound very Valkyrie to me...." "Hey a girl's gotta do what a
girl's got to do, and the tips are good!" shouted Brynhildr. "And we are

Choosers of the Slain" added Sigrdrífa,. " "Ok.....OK! So how did you get
into this line of work?"
"It was all Odin's idea" "???????" "You see Odin needed warriors to fight
at his side at the preordained battle at the end of the world, Ragnarök.
So tag, you're it girls....our mission, had we decided to accept it, not that
we had much choice, was to choose the most heroic of those who had died
in battle and to carry them off to Valhalla where they became einherjar."
"An einherjar?" "Sort of like a spirit army". They haven't got it so bad
though... Every day they are awakened by Gullinkambi, a rooster, and
march out to the great field of Idavoll in the heart of Asgard to fight
against each other in merry (and mortal) combat. Then at dusk, when they
are all cut to pieces, they're miraculously healed, and march back into
Valhalla, where Andhrímnir, the cook of the gods, has fixed up a meal for
them from the pork of Sæhrímnir, a pig that is reborn every day, and the
mead milked from Heiðrún, a goat feeding on the leaves of Yggdrasil. SO
o
they spend the evening and night in feasting , served by us until they all
fall asleep, solidly drunk" explained Sigrún.
"Gosh!" exclaimed Baby.
"So what do you do on the battlefield?" "Oh, that's easy" explained
Þrúðr. " We shriek, howl and cause total confusion. Why? Because we can
grab any warrior we fancy, and take him away. There is only one rule
though: the bewildered chump or champion must be dead first. That's not
to say, if we see a real handsome hunk we don't give him a little push to
help him on his way."
"Yes, but Odin only gets half of the warriors" interjected Freya. "I get
the other half, the good-looking heroes, they go straight to Fólkvangr, my
palace, for rest and recuperation. Look Baby...it's time to ride..... I hear
Skogul, Hlokk and Gjoll in the distance....so are you ready for your first
battle as a Valkyrie? Can you make a lot of noise?"
"Don't worry about
the noise, my brothers always say I have a voice that can be heard in the
next galaxy. Of course, they don't know I know what they say, but I get
even in my own way" replied Baby, with a sly smile on her face.
"Brothers...did you say brothers?" said all the girls in unision and with a
strange glint in their eyes.
"Yeah.....in fact I need to find them and
Butterbye, and see what they're up to"
"Butterbye"? "I'll explain later"
"Well....what are we waiting for?" yelled Freya. "Let's go find the
brothers!"
"Hey.....Wait for me!....Well, Time Travellers, see you later!
Maybe you can find the others and warn them?" trailed Baby's voice as she
went shrieking and yelling just like a Valkyrie.
