Odin	You would die to ensure this man's soul carried on?
Brunhilde	I would.
Odin	And you would do this for your countrymen as well?
Brunhilde	This one, I love. But -- yes. All good men who die in battle deserve this much.
Odin	Then I would give you another choice, an offer, a -- position of sorts. When they perish in the fields of war, you will carry the souls of deserving warriors to a place called Valhalla -- where they shall know everlasting peace. You will be their protector, and their guide, when they leave the mortal realm. ... But you will be more, as well. You will be a symbol. Men will commit great acts of bravery and sacrifice, for just the hope of glimpsing your face. You will inspire them. And I give you my word, girl, if you do this, one day, many ages from now, when your service is finished -- you will join your last love there, in paradise. This is your calling, Brunhilde of Wrlstead Arms, if you would have it -- you will be my Valkyrie.
