Chapter 3: the Eavesdropping Hero (rewrite this before publishing)
Vienna overhears the three Valkyrie *rewrite this*
Lady Isabella: sighs Ah, the stars seem to know all the tales of love. It's fascinating how they twinkle with secrets untold.
Lady Serena: Indeed, Isabella. Love is a peculiar dance, even for the Valkyrie. Have you found anyone lately who can match your fire?
Lady Isabella: laughs softly no, I've had my fair share of admirers, but none have managed to capture my heart. I'm beginning to think that's why I wasn't chosen, because I'm defective in some way.
Lady Victoria: smirks Fear not, Isabella. Love will find a way to ignite your passions. After all, there's someone out there who will be drawn to your inferno.
Lady Isabella: raises a red eyebrow Do you truly believe in the rhetoric? Have you found a worthy companion to stand beside you?
Lady Victoria: pauses, a hint of ironic melancholy in her voice Alas, my dear friend, my path has been fraught with suitors. The weight of my responsibilities often overshadows the prospect of true love.
Lady Serena: grinning mischievously And what about our loveless Valkyrie? She's been rather elusive lately. Any rumors?
Lady Isabella: in an overly sweet voice Ah, the enigma. It's said that beneath her steel exterior, shaped figure, wings halo and flat sandals, lies a heart yearning for companionship. with venom in her voice But what man could possibly match her?
Lady Serena: How is it possible to have a valkyrie without a lover?
Lady Victoria: leaning in, her voice barely audible I've heard whispers that she shares a secret tryst with Sun, the leader of... Iron Head.
Lady Serena: gasps, her eyes widening No, you don't say! Valkyrie, the one blessed by heaven! fearless leader! entangled in a forbidden romance? This is a tale worthy of the bards' most stirring ballads!
Lady Victoria: chuckles softly oh shut up, and you think that's the real reason that we're here?
Lady Isabella: I'm sure we're to find no end of perfect sutors while here. Her fated love, any one of them, only to be rejected to a man. Heaven's gate, I wish I were her.
Lady Serena: words taking on a poetic rhythm, words not her own "In their passionate embrace, love's flame shall brightly burn, a bittersweet farewell shall mark her final turn." She's literally prophesied to find true love.
Introduction of Valkyrie herself
As the melodious folk song fills the air, Vienna finds herself amused at the mindless banter as it filters to her secret hidey hole. Just then, a figure, looking like a finished version of the three gracefully stands from the well groomed man's table. The man with the fancy teacup. Vienna wasn't sure when she'd arrived, sure that he, the teacup man, was sitting alone reading from his book, but she stood from his table. capturing the attention of the trio. Her presence is captivating, exuding an aura of regal elegance, impossible to miss. Her elegant white dress stitched with silver and red, a golden breastplate molded to emphasize femininity and power, emblazoned with silver and gems, More art than function. a shield mounted on her back angelically formed slight wings to her left and right. This is a woman who wants those around her to know that she is a woman. A woman from the heavens themselves. Perhaps she leads an army with attractiveness alone? The other three seemed pale in comparison, beautiful, yes, but their own beauty a support for the main character. She looks nearly identical to those three, save that she looks... more. Like they were the practice pieces, and she was the final, sculpted by unseen hands. The very concept of femininity entered the room. And she was armed.
As the Valkyrie joins the group, her steps light and effortless, her bouncing gate causing a melodic and rhythmic chime from somewhere in her armor, her own personal theme song. Her radiant smile illuminates the surroundings, and her eyes sparkle hypnotically. Her eyes lit up even brighter were that possible, genuinely pleased to see the three, to share in this kinship. Those women find themselves fixing their postures, subtly mirroring the Valkyrie's gestures and expressions, almost as if seeking her approval. Even their demeanor, once confident and relaxed, now appears as mere imitations of the fourth woman's grace and allure.
Valkyrie: "Valkyrie" Valkyrie says in greeting
Valkyrie three: "Valkyrie" the three women respond in unison.
What important matters of state are we discussing today? Valkyrie chimed, humor in her voice
"Boys" Isabella (said with a grimace/sneered)
"Boys, huh? You know, I was just hit on by a couple of boys just before I got here. I slit their throats," Valkyrie joked with a twisted grin.
Vienna froze in shock.
Valkyrie quickly clarified, "oh come on, guys, I'm the Valkyrie, and everyone knows the Valkyrie's tragic love story in which she parishes in her lover's arms. It's all very sad, so I choose to circumvent the whole affair by murdering everyone who tries, as attempting to court me is trying to kill me, and that is a crime. I am never falling in love and thus living forever! See? I broke the system. I'm the best."
Vienna couldn't believe what she was hearing. "She didn't take it back," she thought, her mind stalling. "She didn't take back the killing."
"But what if it's an unrequited love? Couldn't that work?" Victoria asked.
"Stop that right now, Victoria! Are you trying to kill me off?" Valkyrie demanded. "I am a very important person who ought to eliminate all threats to our nation," she added proudly. "Tomorrow I shall decree that all males be executed for my safety."
Vienna couldn't believe her ears. Someone had to do something, Valkyrie, the valkyrie was mad!
"I knew something was off! I said they'd gotten away with too much. Didn't I say that they'd gotten away with too much?" Serena chimed in.
"What actually happened? Did you figure out who was behind the crimes?" Isabella
"Some upstarts with political connections made dealing with themselves complicated so Sun spontaneously suggested that he and I deal with them personally, that our positions as potesta would protect us from the political fallout, so we killed the leaders, and seized all of their assets. That man is everything they say. Brilliant, ruthless, and entirely unpredictable. I may have gotten a bit caught up in his... momentum. He said that he'd go off by himself if needed. Honestly I think the reason he was so aggressive was just to avoid his tutors!"
"Aggressive?" Isabella practically gasped the word, fanning herself.
Serena guffawed
Victoria chuffed
And Valkyrie simply (looked on/shook her head) in amused disappointment. A tiny knowing smirk on her face.
