Capitolo 17
The woman hastened to say: "I found this extraneous that lies on our hearth.
He was weak and it needed help."
"And did it give him/it?" snarled the head of a tribe.
"I gave him water. I could not drive out it in the tempestuous night."
The head of a tribe grew the dark with anger as him it said: "Because it is the sacred
law of my country that nobody will be turned by the door that it looks for
has been protecting for the night, this intruder can be up to the morning. Then
he will fight for his/her life."
Siegmund now knew that he was in the house of the fierce Hunding.
Picking up the woman from the arm, Hunding it conducted her/it from the room and Siegmund
you/he/she was allowed to think of peace as it is probable that he saves him.
Long he tilted him on the hearth in shaken silence. Then, knowing him
it has to run away, he turned toward the door.
That moment the last light trembling of the dying fire flashed on the
hilt of the magic sword in the tree of ash.
Siegmund saw him/it, and, jumping in before, he understood his/her hilt. Then,
stopping himself/herself/itself against the tree, with a mighty pull sees! he drew
the bright blade from his/her sheath.
THE WAR-YOUNG GIRL
Wotan gathered to Valhalla a society of nine war-young girl. They was
called the Walkuere.
They was young strong women, beautiful that rode through the clouds
on rapid horses.
The horses could not only race on the earth; they could fly through the
air.
The young girl brought wings on their helmets, and each brought a splendid
silver armor that shone and it flashed in the light of the sun.
There was wherever a battle on the earth, Wotan would send a
battle-young girl for the bravest hero on the field.
The young girl would fly on the battleground and clock while the warriors
fought.
When the bravest man was wounded, she would fall down quickly, and,
grabbing him/it on, it would fly with him to Valhalla, where he was revived
of equitable Freya.
[The illustration]
Sometimes, when evening came, every one of the war-young girl rode in
Valhalla that brings a noble hero.
