Valkyrie smiled sadly at Velmir. "You go ahead with your hunt, bear boy. I don't think I would be any good company."

She looked curiously at the pendant Selyna showed her. "I can see what you mean. Ever since I was a girl I would train day and night just so that I could kill Sturkas for ending my clan. Our traditions says that 'an unavenged ancestor is a restless one'. It means that since I failed in my honorary duty to slay Sturkas my family can never rest easy, nor find any joy within the Hunting Grounds of our lord Hircine. It is as if I condemned them myself."

She held back a tear and wiped her nose clean from the blood. She imagined she was not a pretty sight, sniveling and in mourning. She reminded herself of her late aunt Katri Ghost-Wolf, also known as "the Sad wolf". She had been a great warrior and heroine, yet she was prone to periods of melancholia and sorrow. And one cold winter night, the sad lady had willingly wondered out in a snow storm never to return and her body was never recovered. Her father had always tears in his eyes when he told her the story.

''Why am I thinking of her now? Is her fate supposed to make me feel better?''
