Chapter 4
The Valkyrie's Verdant Vow
A Valpurgian Valkyrie emerges, a mystical figure speaking of a profound shift: the birth of vegetarianism. She describes a new path to happiness found in plant-based sustenance.
The green tree, a vibrant splash of emerald against the swirling nebulae, seemed to hum with a life all its own. Brahmane, who had spent eight years as a Brahmane, a genre of existence that felt both ancient and brand new, gazed at it. The tree was a stark contrast to his own dark, silent being, a being that had once seemed as eternal as the stars themselves. But lately, a peculiar fatigue had settled upon him, a cosmic weariness that whispered questions he’d never thought to ask. Could even a black hole, a devourer of light and time, truly last forever?
He remembered the comforting embrace of chocolate, a memory like a warm hug from a forgotten friend. The rich, dark sweetness had always been a reliable source of pure, uncomplicated joy. It was a taste that grounded him, a tangible delight in a universe of abstract wonders. He’d always thought happiness was something to be found in the grandest of cosmic events, in the spectacular dance of galaxies or the birth of a star. But the chocolate memory, so simple and so profound, suggested otherwise. Perhaps happiness wasn't about the monumental, but the magnificent in the mundane.
As if summoned by his thoughts, a figure began to coalesce from the stardust and shimmering light. She was unlike anything Brahmane had ever encountered. Tall and imposing, clad in armor that gleamed like polished obsidian, she possessed an aura of immense power, yet her presence was strangely gentle. Her helmet was adorned with feathers that seemed to capture the very essence of the aurora borealis, and her eyes, sharp and clear, held the wisdom of ages. She was, Brahmane realized with a jolt, a Valpurgian Valkyrie, a creature of legend, a messenger from realms he’d only glimpsed in the oldest cosmic lore.
