Every cry for help echoed within her, fueling her determination to bring solace and aid to those in need.

Amidst the devastation, the valkyrie's mission extended to the orphaned and the suffering, especially the innocent children who had lost their families. She embraced them in her protective wings, giving them comfort and reassurance that they were not alone. With tender care, she extended her hand towards the mothers who cried out for help, wiping away their tears and offering them strength to persevere.

Throughout the desolate streets, the valkyrie became a symbol of resilience and compassion. Her presence served as a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there were forces of goodness and light willing to fight against the cruelty of the world. In the face of death and destruction, she became the beacon of hope for an afflicted land.

And as the valkyrie continued on her righteous path, her mission to aid those in need would never waver. Galvanized by the suffering she witnessed, she vowed to remain a guardian of the oppressed, a protector of the innocent, and a bringer of justice. With every flight over the city, she carried with her the unwavering spirit of compassion, inspiring others to join her in the fight against despair and to rebuild what had been destroyed.

In Norse mythology, a valkyrie is one of a host of female figures who guide souls of the dead to the god Odin's hall Valhalla. There, the deceased warriors become einherjar (fighters]). When the einherjar are not preparing for the cataclysmic events of Ragnarök, the valkyries bear them mead. Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens and sometimes connected to swans or horses. More on the Valkyrie

Abbott Handerson Thayer (August 12, 1849 – May 29, 1921) was an American artist, naturalist, and teacher. As a painter of portraits, figures, animals, and landscapes, he enjoyed a certain prominence during his lifetime, and his paintings are represented in major American art collections. He is perhaps best known for his 'angel' paintings, some of which use his children as models.

During the last third of his life, he worked together with his son, Gerald Handerson Thayer, on a book about protective coloration in nature, titled Concealing-Coloration in the Animal Kingdom. First published by Macmillan in 1909, then reissued in 1918, it may have had an effect on military camouflage during World War I. However it was roundly mocked by Theodore Roosevelt and others for its assumption that all animal coloration is cryptic.
Thayer also influenced American art through his efforts as a teacher, training apprentices in his New Hampshire studio. More on Abbott Handerson Thayer
