"Valkyrie...STOP!" The words that were spoken did not so much enter the Valkyrie's ears, as permeate her body and mind without a sound- the voice of the All Father, El Elyon- The Most High... was not simply ignored - El Elyon could create or eliminate worlds with a thought. Now, she was stuck, halfway through finishing her "Chuck Norris" round house.
"But Grandfather, he's laughing at me" she snarled through clenched frozen teeth.
"Uhh...yeah, of course he is- you made a wager with the god of war child." God's deep baritone chuckle echoed through the Egyptian motif arena, "Aries is not one to trifle with; he humored you with your little sparring match. You made a wager - you lost. Your mouth was 'writing checks that your butt couldn't cash' child. Who in their right mind would bet, especially the father of combat, that they could land a punch on him?"
"Father", Aries chimed "you should let her go now, I think she is relaxed enough." Aries had backed up a step, standing there in is his cool Kung-Fu pants with his arms crossed over his chiseled chest, still chuckling under his breath.
"Fine, child. Valkyrie, what is the wager that you must pay?" El Elyon asked.
The Valkyrie looked her grandfather in the eye, a bit embarrassed, but determined as well, "I have to do something that completely repulses me. I have to teach a human creature how to fight properly, Grandfather." The look on the Valkyrie's face was priceless- like getting a big whiff of bad cheese - and that got a chuckle from the Allfather and Aries both.
Stolen story; please report.
"So", El Elyon pondered, "I know that you will do as you have agreed, you are a most honorable warrior even though you're an impetuous child, what exactly will you be teaching to said human?"
"Angel combat, or at least what they can handle, Grandfather, Aries to think that I will be able to find at least one human that will be able to learn."
God – Allfather - grinned. "You will be surprised granddaughter, they are much stronger and more resilient than you can imagine, I did create them after all, you will get to know them – probably better than you think. You know I always have a plan, this is your destiny, as well as at least one other humans as well. I have seen this coming for...umm, eternity as it is", God's eyes gleaming over the top of his smirk, "and now with you losing your wager, the world gets a protector. You are probably thinking 'you already sent Jesus, what now?', but he was the savior of souls. With your teaching, there will become a protector and deliverer of righteousness, against the purveyors of evil, that have persisted on earth since the fall of the Morning Star. You will help to create the greatest "human...ish" warrior in their history, and he will deliver what no other human can - justice." The All Father walked to the Valkyrie and gave her a hug, then turned to exit the giant arena. As he passed Aries, they hit a heavenly high-five that shook the pillars of heaven and God left with his plan in motion, "Come Michael, I have some archangel things for you to do."
