In Norse mythology, a valkyrie (from Old Norse valkyrja "chooser of the slain") is one of a host of female figures who decides who falls and dies in battle. Selecting among half of those who die in battle (the other half go to the goddess Freyja's afterlife field F\xf3lkvangr), the valkyries bring their chosen to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin.

Brynhildr (sometimes spelled Br\xfcnnhilde, Brynhild) is a shieldmaiden and a valkyrie in Norse mythology, where she appears as a main character in the V\xf6lsunga saga and some Eddic poems treating the same events.

"Munu vi\xf0 ofstr\xed\xf0
alls til lengi
konur ok karlar
kvikvir f\xe6\xf0ask;
vi\xf0 skulum okkrum
aldri sl\xedta
Sigur\xf0r saman.
S\xf6kkstu, g\xfdgjar kyn."

If you just read all that, you're retarded.
