Freya

Freya's sister Skuld was an excellent Valkyrie, but because of an accident caused by Freya, Skuld plunged into the Twilight Orb and disappeared with it. Freya has since taken over as a Valkyrie and assumed the responsibility of protecting the Northern Vale. Valkyries were distinguished and revered fighters among the warlike Northern Vale folks. The bravest and strongest female warriors in each tribe would be chosen to join their ranks and take up the responsibility of guiding the spirits, of fallen heroes into Valhalla and keeping the peace in Northern Vale. Becoming a Valkyrie would bring great glory to everyone in the tribe. It was considered to be the greatest achievement one could ever dream for. But such a glory came at a price- the Valkyries had to make huge sacrifices for their privilege. They could never marry or bear children and they were bound to dedicate their entire life to the protection of Northern Vale. At first, such glory and burden didn't belong to Freya. As far as she could remember, her elder sister Skuld was their tribe's best hope. She was clever, decisive, brave and resilient. She could already defeat all the other warriors in their tribe when she was just sixteen years old. The high priest of the Martyr Shrine foresaw the future in a prophecy. "A female warrior, a daughter of Northern Vale, will one day lead this land to a new path." Everyone believed that the kid in the prophecy was Skuld. So, in order to fulfill her destiny, she kept training day after night, hoping that one day she could take up the mantle and bring a glorious future to her tribe and the entire Northern Vale. Unlike her sister Skuld, young Freya lived a carefree life. She was known to be naughty, vigorous and curious. But, she admired her sister Skuld, believing that she could live happily ever so long, as her brilliant and lovingly sweet sister was with her. But her sister Skuld disagreed. She would always encourage Freya, saying that she could one day become the person who would lead their tribe and even all the Northern Vale folks. When Freya was twelve, Skuld passed the high priest's trial, became an exalted Valkyrie of the Martyr Shrine, and left her homeland. Two years later, Freya sneaked out of the tribe by herself and headed to the Martyr Shrine, the place where all Northern Vale folks were forbidden to visit. She had missed her sister so much, that she was dying to see Skuld. However, her destiny was entirely changed, on that day. Outside the Martyr Shrine, Freya peeked into the wall, watching the Valkyries, who were holding a transcendence ritual for the spirits of the dead. But inside this empty hall, a strange light caught Freya's attention. Freya approached and realized that it was a strange object floating above the altar. Its radiance encircled itself, like a giant light orb. It felt like there was a wonderful dreamland hidden in its light, calling Freya to come. Propelled by this mysterious force, Freya was unknowingly drawn to it and
