Merida and the Legend of the Valkryie

Prologue

The sound of deep fast breaths hung on the frozen air creating a cloud with every heave. Heavy hooves seemed to echo through the chilled earth, and with the moon so high, only one could ponder what was to befall that night. Fearful eyes darted over her shoulder only to find not a living character, but what lo was still pursuing her? An old chant seemed to echo within her clouded mind,

"Bless the earth for thou shall it be,

One with your own with those you cannot see,

You've tread on long lost grounds,

The wisps trail on your every beat your heart pounds,

Look to the sky,

The shrill voice of the Valkyrie sounds."

A whistling arrow head skims her shoulder, and as her ankle twisted making her cold form fall, wide eyes seemed glued upon the form that did seem to dwell upon the shadows that lingered there. She was going to die..But what led to such events? Merida could only close her eyes and scream a blood curdling yelp. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
