Senior Ada says it's normal for newbies to mess up the first time round and I shouldn't be too hard on myself. Personally, I'm feeling like absolute poop. I dropped a soul into non-existence. Instead of an after-life, he's just going to, what, disintegrate? Oh gods above.
Mess up or not, I wouldn't wish that fate on anybody. (Except maybe that third grade math teacher. Jokes.)
I know I didn't choose the Valkie life. It chose me. But since I am one, might as well make the best of it. And that starts with learning how to be a Valkyrie right.
Lesson number 1: I am only supposed to pick up souls I deem worthy of Vahalla. I am to leave souls meant for Folkvangr and Hel alone. Apparently they have their own spirit picker uppers.
Lesson number 2: Valkyries are only called to the "scene" when a hero dies in battle with his weapon. Other than that, I can't pick up any ol' Tom, Dick or Harry on the streets.
Lesson number 3: I don't need to be a Valkie 24/7. Apparently I still can go to school with my mates and stuff. And I still need to do homework and stuff
Lesson number 4: When I am a valky, I have to stay in Vahalla's "Valkie Quarters". There's an area off Vahalla's main residences specially set aside for us Valkies. We're sorted according to our Chief Valkie (mine's Jalinda, remember?). There's two Valkies to a room and our Seniors. I haven't had the chance to meet my roomie yet.
Lesson number 5: It's apparently not easy to get dismissed from the Valkie court unless I mess up big time. (Like purposely killing a guy who is not yet ready to go. *Coughs*). Valkies are rare nowadays so I'm considered "valuable"
Lesson number 6: It's time for lunch.
Since Senior Ada says there's no need to report this to the higher ups, we're going for lunch.
