How To Rid Oneself Of A Bumble Vol 1Vanir was outside.
Val could smell the wrongness in the air.
The wrongness she remembered from the big thing in the blizzard before.
It was too close!
VANIR!
~*~
Vanir told Valkyrie that she wanted to go foraging today. Val told her she should be fine, provided no storms kicked up today. She had scouted the area early on when the sun was still barely peeking above the tree tops. The mountains, shrouded in their blankets of snow, glistened like diamond dust powdering their wigs, glowed in the early morning light. It was always one of her most favorite times of day to be out and about. The day was still precious and new, like her sister's bright smile always seemed to be.
She didn't think much of anything would go wrong today, but it wasn't the first time she had ever been wrong either. . .
Vanir gave her sister a kiss on the cheek, and took her gathering basket with her and headed out singing softly to herself as she went. The sight of
Soul Link. Loyalty. Van/Val. “I WILL make necklaces out of their spines!” Valkyrie’s words ripped through the quiet, pre-dawn air with a hiss of steam. Every puff of breath made blood drip from the wound on her shoulder, staining the snowy ground a mottled red. Her wings and legs ached as if they had been dipped in acid and her scales were broken and dented.
“I don’t believe they have spines,” Vanir offered with a roll of her blue eyes, her calm voice a stinging contrast to her sister’s smoldering fury. She watched the horizon for movement but saw nothing but the stillness of ice and empty sky. The cold blue and white world hung like a picture, lifeless and unchanging. It was a cruel mimicry of the real thing. She did her best to ignore her sister’s continued ranting, trying to think of a plan.
“We don’t need a plan!” Valkyrie insisted as she thumped over to Vanir, “We need to kill them all!”
The ice giants had overtaken them duri
Daring To Be More Than Me: Low Aether Valkyrie was startled the first time she learned of her gift, of how she could hide herself from the big shaggy thing in the blizzard. . . It still gave her the shivers thinking of it in truth, but she would never admit it out loud so anyone who knew her would hear. Especially not Vanir. . .she should never think of Val as anything but strong and brave, else she might never lean on her again. . . Valkyrie sighed and shook her head. She had to figure this out before things got to be in a bad spot, and she REALLY needed it!
Vanir was off doing who knew what today, she was talking about it while Val was mid yawn that morning, so much of it was lost to the crackling and popping of her eardrums and jaw. She really did wish she knew what her sister was up to, but, it didn't matter overmuch really. She had a job to do, and a sister to protect always, so magic would have to be today's priority instead of wondering and moping about because she didn't hear
An Illusionist Is Born. . . Valkyrie was always a very spirited soul. She'd never back down from a fight, even when the odds were against her if a fight came her way. But one time, the fight grew to be too much to handle, and she learned some new tricks to go along with it. . .
The day had been a hazy lazy kind of spotty clouded day. There was barely a breeze, a kiss of one and a faint one at that, like an ancestor reaching across the void to caress your cheek kind of kiss. Vanir had gone off to do something else, "something important", leaving her sister alone to her own devices. It was bothersome, because they were supposed to play together today. But, Valkyrie understood "Duty above Play", and didn't bother to complain. . . much. Sure she grumbled under her breath, she missed her sister. What kind of day was today without her sister?!?
A boring one, that's what.
Val sighed and decided that since her sister couldn't play with her, she would go exploring. Valkyrie was smal
Breeding Rites. Territorial 3. Van/Val/YmirRaining blood reduced the crisp snow into a sanguine wasteland as the evening light dripped from the sky in slow, painful shutters. The soft pink sunset had already deepened into red abyss, speckled with the black silhouettes of waring dragons. The once quiet night was shattered with screams and cries. Death was walking with them this night.
Vanir’s heart thundered wildly as she scrambled through the snow banks, praying her white fur would protect her from sight. She couldn’t see anything! Friend or foe all looked the same in the commotion and she didn’t dare call for anyone. The distraction could get them killed. But she was so desperate! She couldn’t see her sister anywhere, but she knew in her gut where Valkyrie was.
Amongst the chaos she could hear the young black dragon cackle and strike. Somewhere out there Valkyrie was whipping about like a falcon, using her small size to harass the adult dragons and out maneuver them. She would be screaming, her bl
Adapt. Valkyrie/Vanir.It was the sort of cold that punched the air from your lungs and made you curse your need to breathe. It was painful, strangling and overwhelming. Each of Valkyrie’s breaths were shallow and forced. She felt a little dizzy and her wing tips were tingling warm despite the frost that coated them. She kept blinking with sleepy eyes as she beat her tired wings.
Mum had taken them further than they had ever flown before, and she wasn’t handling it very well. She was exhausted and frustrated, but she wasn’t going to complain. She was strong and brave like her mum and there was no way she would admit defeat first. Her sister, Vanir wasn’t complaining, so neither would she.
Still, Valkyrie was excited to be home. She could see the familiar crest of their mountain, glowing orange with sunlight from the barely skyward sun. It had been a month since the sun had managed to fully ascend past the jagged horizon, and it would be at least another month before it managed to do s
Strength. Valkyrie/Vanir.There was something magical about having two daughters of the same age. They had been born of the same father, hatched in tandem on the same ice cliff and reared together under the guidance of their mum. The same moon had blessed their arrival and the same stars would guide their nights. As the seasons ticked by, the pair would grow and explore life together, rarely more than a heartbeat apart. All their first experiences were aligned, and their destinies amalgamated. They would be eternally together, like two bits of ice forever drifting in the same ocean.
It left Vanir and Valkyrie with a breathtaking bond that would grow more solid than the permafrost that supported them and more ancient then the mountains gave them shelter. Skadi found it indescribably magnificent.
But only when they weren’t trying to eat each other’s faces off.
Vanir was absolutely screaming with rage, her jaws flashing with drool slicked teeth as she snapped at her sister. The fury in her
Taming. Adapt 2. ValThe way the spire of ice shone like diamonds in the warm sunlight took away Vanir’s breath. It was coated with little drips of melt water that sparkled like stars and cast rainbows on the translucent, pale blue walls. The rhythmic drip, drip, drip plinked through the hallowed halls and sang with the soft sighs of shifting ice. It was a dream made true - a paradise that was slowly slipping away as the warmth of time rained down on it like acid. It was all theirs.
Vanir had discovered it just days before, but the sisters had quickly claimed it as their hiding place. No one else in the flight could find them here, not even their mum or Wraith. It was an entire kingdom, empty but for two little queens.
The pair soared on small wings through the endless maze that was the ice palace. There were signs of old life here, long dead and forever forgotten. Human trinkets and nesting materials were frozen into half melted floors and oozing walls. Old fabrics and furs were held stiff in a perm
