At the gates of olympus appears a Valkyrie, dressed in full battle armor. She looks to all the Gods, going about thier daily buisiness and remarked at how close it felt to Asgard. She looked for Zeus, the king of the Gods here, with warning to be ready for hostility.

Zeus steps off of his throne and goes to meet the visitor. "Hello, welcome to Olympus. What brings you here?"

She was actually surprised a little at how well she was greeted, even managing to return the greeting of Zeus with a smile. She does give a bow as well, recognizing him as head of Olympus.
"I have news for this pantheon from lord Odin. He thought you would take better to me then one of his male runners."
She was blunt, but as a warrior woman that is how she is taught to be. Even though she has relaxed considerably her spear was still by her side, threatening and at the ready in case someone tried something.

Zeus waves his hand around. "Go on go on. What is it that Odin feels need to send a woman to greet me?"

She nods her head and hands the letter she was carrying to a nearby Immortal to be taken to Zeus personally. She elaborated by speaking the part that she was told to say.
"Lord Odin is hloding a tournament of strength in Asgard. He humbly requests that Olympus chooses three to represent them, and of course the entire pantheon is invited for the celebratory events that take place along with it."
She hasn't been this excited for a long time, she had been running through her head since the beginning which Immortals Asgard would choose to represent them. If not Odin himself, perhaps Thor, Tyr, and Vidar would be their dream team of sorts.

"Okay it sounds kind of fun. Will there be food, and drinks?" Zeus seems pretty absent minded, but he was already considering who would represent Olympus.

The woman shrugs her shoulder, she was no authority on the plans of the All-Father. But he did say festive gathering, and 99.99% of the time that means that food, drink, and song will all be had during it.
"I can almost guarantee you that there will be sir. So can I tell Odin that Olympus will be there?"

Zeus nods. "Yes yes, go on and let him know we will come." Zeus takes a few steps back and sits down on his throne. "You are welcome to stay for a while, have a drink with the gods of Olympus..you look tired."

The valkyrie was about to leave content until the offer was made, and almost instantly turned about on her heel. She smiles softly, something she has been avoiding doing since she entered. The question entered her mind of why she was told to be on guard, Olympus seems nice enough.
"Well, I wouldn't want to intrude, but to tell the truth I am unused to messenger duty and would enjoy the rest very much indeed."
Her spear that was at the ready at the beginning was now strapped to her back. This place reminded her so much of Asgard, without having to pass through the other three worlds to get there of course.

"Ah well come and rest your weary bones my dear. One of our gods here makes some of the best wine you'll ever taste and of course there is our ambrosia." Zeus smiles and leads her to a banquet hall in Olympus.

She dosn't really struggle or think twice about it at all. She follows Zeus to the banquet hall with all intention of partaking in whatever he has to offer.
"You are kinder then I thought Master Zeus. I was told to be on guard around here."

Zeus laughs a loud hearty laugh. " Oh that Odin, he has always thought the worst of me for some reason. Everyone has a bad day including gods, but I am truly a kind person." Zeus gives off a sly smile. "Though you should be on your guard, I have heard I am quite the charmer."

The valkyrie catches herself giggling as she takes a seat. Zeus is right, he seems to be a polite and just man, Odin must just be cautious.
"Well, don't blame Lord Odin for being defensive, he has so much on his shoulders to worry about all the time."
She felt the part about him being a charmer was just a joke to lighten the mood, and for her it worked. She was delighted to take some time off, and in such a nice place at that.

Zeus sits at the table with the valkyrie and serves her food and ambrosia. "You should ask Odin for a little time off, I'm sure he'd be okay for a few days while you rest. You'd be welcome to stay here of course."

The Valkyrie takes a few bites of her food and gently sips the ambrosia, just to get the taste of both. They were of course wonderful, nothing lost from the great tables of Valhalla where the ale runs eternal and the food is plenty.
"I might do just that lord Zeus. We are told that once we are in Valhalla it is our duty to enjoy ourselves until the coming of Ragnarok. I'll have to keep my wits sharp of course but a vacation sounds excellent."
She was pretty sure that Odin wouldn't say no either. He has always been a kind God, just like the father she had when she was a mortal so many years ago. She owed the All-Father her eternal soul, but until the time came to pay her dues she could still afford to enjoy herself.
