' I need your help in rebuilding the Bureaucracy. The knowledge that the Valkyries stand behind me will rally the surviving Guides. We cannot allow the Council control of the Stream. They will take all the souls they find for themselves, and have most likely already begun. Please, come with me.' you explain. This better work. The Valkyrie looks thoughtful.
'How many? You speak of survivors, but you don't stand a chance with just a fragment of our original strenght.' she finally asks. You don't actually know, but most Guides are usually on the field instead of the Bureaucracy realm.
' Enough.' you say, hoping your words will prove true later on. The Valkyrie nods, and to your surprise, smiles.
' While I cannot speak for the others, I myself would very much like to see this dream of yours come true. My name is Hrist. Wait here. I will speak to my sisters.'
The Valkyrie disappears, leaving you alone in the corridor. Silence falls upon you, the only sounds being the distant ones of the Dvergar workshops. You sit down and begin to wait.
For nearly half an hour, nothing happens. Then, without warning, five Valkyries appear in the corridor before you, led by Hrist.
' We are ready to leave. The others... wouldn't come.' she says. This will have to do. Is there anything you'd like to ask them before you go?
