Valkyrie kicked and wailed in her sleep. Still having nightmares about the demise of her family. She could still see her two older brothers Rigvar and Varg lying lifeless on the floor in a growing pool of blood. Her father Bitvarg still clenching Frostbite close to his chest. Her mother Hildi was breathing slowly, dying with an axe buried deep in her back. And her both uncles Torsdolk and Ulftand as well as her aunt Ylva had died before they even had a chance to draw their weapons. Lilja sat in a corner wide-eyed and terrified.

In the doorway stood Sturkas Cave-Bear and his four sons. Tall and muscular built, they appeared like giants in the eyes of Valkyrie. They all looked almost as shocked as the two sole surviving children. Valkyrie guessed that even they had no idea that an everyday argument battle with her father would escalate into the massacre of almost the entire Ghost-Wolf clan.

Sturkas had slowly emerged from the shadow of the doorway. It was clear that he intended to finish the job. There could be no witnesses to that which had just happened. He closed in on the scared girl in the corner that was Lilja. A blonde little creature, no more harmless or noisy than a shy little house mouse, but just the same she was marked for death.

Before Sturkas had the time to raise his axe, Valkyrie intervened with Frostbite which she had grabbed from her father's corpse. She rushed in between her sister and the giant in front of her. Her gaze met Sturkas' and his gaze met hers. If there was any honor left in Sturkas after what he just had done, it got the better of him. He lowered his axe and turned around. Not willing to shed the blood of two innocent girls he slowly walked out from the crime scene together with his sons.

Valkyrie awoke growling and finding that she had been biting holes in her pillow. "Never a restful night, whether it would be in human form or beast form", she muttered bitterly and rearranged her bed before trying to go back to sleep.
