Aurora by DragonKinPaladin

Aurora Borealis. The place where Midgard and Yggdrasil the World Tree meet. Aurora was named for the beauty of this magnificent confluence. Her mother Frigga and her father, a Druid from Scotland named Jarah begged their Valkyrie daughter to return to Asgard where she would fulfill her duties to Odin and be accepted into the halls Asgard. But Aurora refused. She had fallen in love with the Eskimos and the Vikings, the Scotts and the Irish, and many other Celtic tribes. She knew where she belonged. One day after a great battle with the British, she was grievously wounded by their cannons, and retreated back to the Highlands. Her father divined that if she did not get help she was going to die. He instructed her journey to the North Pole, that she would know what to do. So she made the journey. It was the last she would ever make. Cold, hungry, and nearly dead, she at last reached the very place where the earth's magnetic forces converge. It was there that the Oracle appeared to her. He gave her a choice, fight for the Radiant, and receive the gift of the Northern Lights, its healing powers to protect and to restore. Or die and meet her fathers in Valhalla. Aurora knew she was not done yet. Even if she could be of no more service to her people, she could still help others just like the Celtic tribes. She would have meaning, a reason to fight, and she had fight still left in her bones. That was that. The lights surrounded her in a mystic swirl of energy and she was gone,

...off to fight new battles,

...the battle of the Ancients.
