Valkyrja (Chooser of the slain)

[foxtrot_]

Under the harshest stress, gods may shade their eyes,
And those of the flesh will always be  incapable,
As those limited by human fallibility.

I commit to who will never fail me.
You of unturned faith and tamer of barbarous currents,
You of steal body and volatile heart.
You who shall be called, 'Eir'.

Guide me through these dark and petulant seas.
Guard me against mine enemies and unrelentious desires,
And I shall reach out, as your spear, to/and pierce the earth.
