Failure: Loss of Reputation from the Goddess Freyja and the possibility of losing qualification on becoming a Valkyrie.

Frey looked at her quest log and could not resist the urge to smile. She is finally on her last step before she could taste the fruits of her labor. She lost levels and some legendary equipment but it is all worth it as long as she could become a Valkyrie. She then closed her eyes for a second as she embraced nostalgia.

As a young girl, she had dreamed of becoming like a warrior princess instead of the beautiful damsel in distress type of princess. She always loved the story of her grandmother about the Norse gods and how a group of warrior women would protect the King of Asgard Odin. She dreamed of this because she wanted to explore the world but her status in life did not make it easy.

She is the daughter of a renowned politician so her being abducted for ransom is nothing new to her. She is like Rapunzel trapped in her tower because of the overprotectiveness of her family. She could meet people due to school and parties held in their mansion but true friends are difficult to find.

In school, the rich wanted to befriend her because she is the daughter of someone famous while those in the middle class avoided her in fear of being targeted by the rich kids. Bullying may not be tolerated but some people are just that depraved to pull others down to make them feel that they are more or better. It also does not help that some people ignore others because of bribes and such.

She had difficulty finding a genuine friend due to her lifestyle which is why school became boring for Frey. She excelled in academics because she liked reading and learning new things or maybe due to her mother's intelligence passed onto her given that she is a scientist. Due to her cold and distant approach, she became regarded as the Untouchable Goddess in her school.

The only escape she ever had was in books of fantasy where heroes travel on a quest in order to save the world or the stories that her grandmother told her. Still, she took a heavy blow when her grandmother passed away one year ago. She became bored with life and almost cave into depression. But on her eighteenth birthday, a letter is addressed to her and it was from her grandmother.

She cried when she read that letter because her grandmother apologized for leaving her early. The letter also detailed that a letter would be sent until she reached the age of thirty. Each letter will have a different story and that Frey would have to read it as her grandmother could no longer tell her the stories herself.

The letter on her 18th birthday came with the story centered on the Valkyries in Norse Mythology. It told her that they trained and fought creatures much bigger than them. They guard the King of Asgard Odin from those who would attack him. They are also the ones who ride into battle whenever Odin goes to battle.

She cried a river while reading the story but it was not of grievance but melancholy. The ending line of the story struck true to her heart as it is a saying from her grandmother herself.

"Whenever you feel down, do not falter. I will know you will ascend. My little Valkyrie."

Her grandmother always told her that fighting is always part of life but not all fights are violent. People fight to survive so that they could achieve success in life. The moment you surrender or give up then that is the time you have lost. You will never succeed unless you have the will to fight.

The words of her grandmother echoed in her mind when she read the last line. She toughened up and looked towards the brighter tomorrow. The day after her birthday was the day that Pandemonium officially launched after being in beta for over a year. She always thought that the game is overhyped and such like any other new video game.

She wanted to ignore the clamoring around her at school but the students looked genuinely impressed. She did not know what came over her that day but she peeked at the trailer of Pandemonium just to see what all the hype was about. She opened her haloswatch and glanced at the pitiful contacts list that only had that of her family and her personal attendant.

She diverted her attention away from her contacts list and searched for Pandemonium game trailer. In the trailer she saw from a first person point of view, a person materializing inside a village. The person then became all excited and even explored the town. The person met new people got a job class and even got a sword.

Frey did not know but she was completely mesmerized by the trailer. She became mesmerized when the character slew gigantic monsters, save villagers from bandits, and so much more like facing a dragon. The most impactful thing that she saw is a woman so beautiful coming down from the heavens and giving her blessing to the character in the trailer.

The character then glowed in a bright light and even growing wings like that of an angel. The main character then turned around to see a horde of monsters surrounding him. The main character swung his sword and a wave of golden light came out rushing towards the horde of monsters. The screen then blacked out and a beautiful voice of a woman was heard.

"You make your own destiny! What will you be?"

For the longest time she remembered, Frey never became this excited from a video. Her imagination became alive once more and the girl who wanted to become adventurous came back. The other students in the room became stunned by her smiling face because they have yet to see the Untouchable Goddess smile. The smile was brief but the aura that their Untouchable Goddess became a bit warm starting that day.

Frey immediately ordered a game pod for herself after watching the trailer. She was given a limitless credit card by her father so she had no lack of funds. She contacted the attendants of her home about the thing that she ordered. The game pod was already installed when she came home.

She looked at the game pod in amazement. She did not even contain her excitement as she watched the videos that beta players uploaded. She even read all the guides, job classes and paid special attention to the lore as she loved reading stories.

She also read the praises that the game garnered because all classes were not necessarily gender locked like past games. She also had the option of choosing between the races: Human, Elf, Dwarf, Orc and Gnome. She is a bit disappointed because you cannot change races arbitrarily as she wanted to experience the different lifestyle of each race.

Frey was woken up from her nostalgia by the sound of a loud horn. She thought she was hearing things but the sound is loud that even made the pebbles on the ground tremble. A burst of light from the skies then entered her field of vision.

The sound of horses neighing could be heard from the distance yet she does not see any. She then heard the sound of clopping. She once again looked around her but no horses are present. She should be able to know the sound of horses because she was taught to ride one as her favorite past time. She even grew up with a horse that she named as Mikill.

She then turned her attention to the ray of light piercing the dark clouds above her. Multiple figures can be seen descending down from the clouds. At first, the silhouettes looked like birds swooping down from afar but the closer they get the more Frey could see what they really are.

The neighs and clopping did not come around her but those actually came from above her. She could now see that it was actually a team of Pegasi that produced those neighing and clopping sounds. Riding the Pegasi are women wearing armor made of metals with three different color which are red, gold and white. They descended to the ground on their Pegasi and greeted Frey.

"Greetings, promising Valkyrie. We are here to escort you to the location of your final task in order to join our sisterhood. Are you ready?" A beautiful woman with ashen blond hair stated.

"I am always ready." Frey replied.

"Then summon your steed and ride with us sister. Hiyah" the ashen blonde woman stated as her Pegasus took to the skies once more. The other Valkyries remained silent and just follow the lead of the ashen blonde Valkyrie as they joined her in the skies.

"Let us go, Mikill." Frey stated as she summoned the Pegasus that she tamed herself and followed the group of Valkyries to the place of her final test.
