Chapter 69 [Vault]

Title - Valkyrie Mikaelson: Mistress of Essences | Chapter 2

___________________________________________

‘So..I’m a Mikaelson now…’ Valkyrie thought with a groan.

It had been an entire day since her reincarnation into this new world, and all that had happened, was her being fed, and being put to sleep. Thanks to her weak baby body, she couldn’t do much besides sleep, eat, and shit.

‘Considering I am the older Twin of Klaus, there is a very high chance Mikael is not my father, which also means he will not treat me very well…at least I have my essences, I guess’ Valkyrie thought with an inward sigh.

[Special Quest!]

Survive until the day in which “The Originals” are born, and they first flee from Mikael, without Essences. All knowledge and memories are retained.

Reward - 5 Random Essences, with limited power of course.

[Accept?] [Deny?]

‘...Goddamnit…that’s hard to say no to. 5 essences is pretty much a godsend in a world like this, and while it’ll probably be fairly limited in power, there’s no way I can say no to this. Plus, I’ll still have the knowledge from the Musashi Miyamoto Essence.

‘Fuck…fine, accept’ Valkyrie thought, annoyed beyond measure. The second she did so, she felt a wave of discomfort, before it ended, and she was back to what was “the norm”.

She still had immense memories, courtesy of her Musashi Miyamoto essence, which had granted her the memories of an unparalleled swordsman, something that would stay with her.

Being brought out of her thoughts, Valkyrie blinked as she felt herself get lifted.

“Good morning little one” Esther said, lifting her with a loving smile on her face. Valkyrie looked up into her eyes.

‘...I hate that this woman becomes such a bitch’ Valkyrie thought, as she felt Esther grab her with a smile.

“It’s time to meet your siblings, little one” Esther whispered as she brought her out of the room, holding her close.

“Elijah, Finn, meet your little sister, Valkyrie” Esther said as they got to wherever Esther led them.

Hearing this, Valkyrie strained her neck and glanced at her older brothers.

They were both young, with baby fat still on their cheeks, and both of them were looking at her in confusion.

“She’s so small” Finn whispered as he gazed at his younger sister, while Elijah, who was only a few years old, looked at her with confusion and a bit of awe.

“Mmhmm, just as small as you were when you were her age, Finn” Esther said, while Mikael walked out, smiling at the sight of his daughter interacting with his sons. Niklaus was still asleep in the house.

‘Huh, they’re kinda…cute’ Valkyrie thought, looking at her older brothers.

“What’s her name?” Finn asked, looking at her.

“Valkyrie, after the warriors of Valhalla” Mikael answered, looking down at Valkyrie with a warm smile on his face.

Hearing this, Elijah and Finn looked back to Valkyrie, smiles on their faces.

‘...Perhaps being in this family won’t be that bad’ Valkyrie thought.

Oh how wrong she was…so very wrong.

[Years Later]

Time had flown by, as Valkyrie aged through the years. 20 entire years, to be exact. And…a lot had happened.

Her childhood in her new life had been…hard. Having the mind of someone from the 21st century, while being in 900-1000AD, made adapting difficult. Especially when she had to deal with the awkwardness of having an adult mind, and having to drink milk from…better left unsaid.

The best part of her childhood years was easily her brothers. Elijah and Finn were ever protective of her and played with her a LOT. Something she didn’t particularly enjoy, but did anyways, because seeing them happy made her happy.

Her relationship with her twin was much closer than anyone else. The two were… inseparable. Doing everything together. Hunting? Did it together. Playing? Did it together. Sword Training? Did it together, even though their mother didn’t like her fighting. With her “father” being weirdly supportive of it.

With her being Niklaus’s twin sister, this also meant she was Ansel’s daughter. And with that, came some…instincts. Her mother, just as in canon, had given her and her brother necklaces that would subdue their instincts, in the form of a “Gift”. Said gift was promptly lost by Val, who had no interest in wearing or losing it.

Valkyrie was also close to her little siblings, most notably Rebekah. The girl was…clingy, to say the least. And by her own words, Val was her “Favorite” whatever that meant. Kol was a little troublemaker, but she loved him either way, especially the pranks Kol, Klaus, and her would pull on the rest of the family.

Her relationship with her father was…complicated.

The man was strict with her, just as he was with Nik, but it never became abusive as it was with her brother. Valkyrie wasn’t entirely sure why, but she was fairly sure it had something to do with her natural skill in the sword.

Speaking of the sword. She absolutely adored everything about it. Swordsmanship - thanks to the essence memories she still had - had come easily to her. So easily in fact, that by the time she was 14, she was besting her father in battle, even with his superior strength. She used this fact to defend her darling twin whenever she could, as she wouldn’t sit by and let him be abused like some of her siblings tended to do.

Thankfully, due to her influence, they had grown more outspoken against Mikael, as in the rare cases of her being scolded by him, they’d speak up. Probably because she was the most liked in the family, even by the ever-quiet Finn.

There was also Little Henrik…her little brother, and probably the best of them. But also the one Valkyrie knew would die eventually, for even she didn’t have the capabilities to fight and defeat a pack of transformed werewolves. And she also knew she couldn’t stop her brothers when they really wanted to do something. So, she had long since made the promise to herself, to tag along, and try her absolute best to stop his death. But, fate was a bitch, so she had prepared herself for what was likely going to happen.

Esther and her relationship had been…different than the others. Esther had been strangely protective of her, almost too protective. Something Val realized was due to Dahlia, and her taking of her eldest sister, Freya. That, or the woman was trying her best to keep her out of danger so that she wouldn’t awaken her werewolf curse.

The last person of note that Valkyrie had grown close to, was Ayana. Ayana had been…basically her mother for all intents and purposes. Because while Esther had raised and birthed her, Ayana had taught her. She had taught her things Esther wouldn’t.

Herbs, cooking, cleaning, and a number of other things. Things that her mother wouldn’t teach her, and things that would help her. Things like potions that didn’t require magic and similar.

Life, overall, had been fairly decent, all things considered.

But Valkyrie knew better. She knew that it wouldn’t last, and she knew, soon everything would change.

…And change it did.

That’s the end of the chapter!

The ending was…not the best, but I didn’t really know where to end it lol.

This chapter was basically just her being born and a summary of what happened over the years, as I don’t really like writing childhood years for my characters.

I plan on having the “Event” happen next chapter, and then show more on her childhood, and her growing up, in flashbacks, just like they do in canon.

Not sure how y’all feel about that, but that’s my plan.

I plan on uploading a chapter for another one of the vault fics you guys voted for, later today, so be ready for that. Spidergwen should also be getting an update as well.

Anyways, have a good day, see you later!
