She is starlight made immortal flesh, and her soul lives inside her sword of light. She is Muire, the last of the Valkyrie, and she walks among the mortals of Valdyrgard alone, save for the Valraven - one of the many-formed steeds who carried some of the Valkyrie to war - who claimed her for his rider in the devastation of the Last Battle of the Children of the Light.Because these two lived, Valdyrgard lives on as well, instead of falling into the darkness and cold of the dead worlds.
