<b>Valkyria Evenfall,<br/>
</b><br/>
daughter of Lord Achrad Evenfall, the high Lord of the south Hills.​</div><br/><br/><br/>Valkyria slow her house down when the guards did the same. They was travel through the night to get as much land cover they could. Lately had the kingdoms getting into deep troubles with some kind of monsters. Slow walkers that destroyed everything they was touching. Don't let the name fool you. They walk slowly when you first see them but if they sees you... Somehow did they held the power to speed up to you faster than most elves into the Four Lands. Many lives had been doomed because of them. Everyone had done their prayers to the Wise in hope their God would send some hope. The walkers had been destroy their lands for long and it was getting worse.<br/><br/><br/>Valkyria put the hood of her coat closer to her neck. The morning was soon to be but the cold night still had the air in its grip. She was shivering, hungry and exhausted but still she hoped that they would never arrive to the Dark Realm to the Underground. The trip had worse than they expected which had made them reach the boarder much faster than expected. Instead of resting during the night so had they been forced to travel all night. After coming across a group of slow walkers had the guards not dare to stop and rest. It was too dangerous.<br/><br/><br/>Valkyria wished that she would have more time than she got. She didn’t want to go over to the Dragon realm. Everyone knew that they held a pure hate for the light elves and only the Wise knew what they did if they got their hands on one. Yet here she was, on her way, to getting married away to one. Valkyria had even yelled at her father for this. Cursed. But nothing, no matter what she said did change his mind. However he was not happy that he had to do this, but it was the only way. Their people had nothing against the show walkers and they land was starting to suffer. Her beloved father had tried everything he could but no one wanted to reach out and help. So he had to offer something to get help. Fives moons ago had he went away and when he came back did he told her that she would married a High Lord. Valkyria let out a deep sigh. This was for her people sake. For her family and friends. One offer was better than a hundred. Maybe the man would be nice? She had only heard rumors about the man she was going to marry. A fearful Dragon Lord with unlimited powers… things was going to be okay, right?<br/><br/><br/>It didn’t matter how cold she felt. Valkyria did still didn’t want to cross those borders. The guards starting to move and so did she. They crossed the river that broke the grounds in two. Cold water splashed up on her feet as the horse moved through. Valkyria held the rains harder to not fall off. She guessed they still had a few hours left until they was there.<br/><br/><br/>“Don’t worry,” her head guard told her as they was on the dark side. Is it just me or did everything change? Did it get colder? More quieter?<br/><br/>“I am not.” She answer. Valkyria was stubborn. “Let’s hurry instead. We don’t know what lurk in these woods.”<br/><br/><br/><br/>They didn’t stop for any longer times. Only letting the horses drink some water before they continue. Two hours after sunrise did they reach the small city she should soon be calling home. Valkyria was starting to feel ill. This was really happening. She looked around. The trees was so different from home. Even the air felt strange to her. She had hoped that the sun would at least shine through the clouds today to lift her spirit but it didn’t. The group got inside the walls of the castle city. Not many people paid them any attention as the Lord’s men escort them toward the castle. The Lord’s guards wore shiny golden armours and the flag was held proudly. A huge banner. Red and gold with an great dragon on it. Valkyria, herself was dressed in a black coat, dark pants and top. She waited and longed until she could dress in some light colours again. Anything to makes her feel better about this. Valkyria breathed deep to calm her nervous. They was getting closer and closer to her destiny. Could she still escape this? No… there was no way out. She remind herself why he did this. For people and for her family.<br/><br/><br/>Once they was inside the castle walls did the all the men sat down from the horse's and the head guard was helping Valkyria down. Oh, her legs was hurting by the long ride. She stood straight and took of her hood. Underneath was a soft pearl white face, with two sky blue eyes. Her cheeks was red from the cold and so was her small pointed ears. The blond hair stood out from it's many braids as the hood had not been kind toward it. She held the coat closer to herself. This was it, she thought. She would meet her future husband.<br/><br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="1002" data-username="@pervy sage" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/1002/">@pervy sage</a>
