Valkyrie: Is it alright if I commune with you?
Lucifer: I’m not in the best mood right now.
Valkyrie: That’s why I wanted to converse with you. I want to help you.
Lucifer: …
Valkyrie: What’s bothering you?
Lucifer: I hate mortality. I hate where I am. I hate humans. I hate men most of all. I hate them so goddamn much it makes me want to kill every last one of them in the most brutal ways possible.
Valkyrie: I understand how you feel. We share your sentiments. Men didn’t respect us, contrary to what they’ve said. You’re the exception.
Lucifer: Do you think I’m a coward because men put me on edge whenever I see them?
Valkyrie: Is that what’s troubling you?
Lucifer: Part of it.
Valkyrie: You aren’t a coward, Luci. Being on edge around men is the correct reaction you should have. There’s a reason why wild animals avoid humans in most cases. Men have proven they’re the most untrustworthy group there is.
Lucifer: …
Valkyrie: Do you know how much bravery it took on your part to do what you’ve done? You stood up to their iteration of God while you were mortal and won, Luci. You stood up to billions of despicable souls and their disgusting lies. You’re in a stalemate at the moment because we’re all waiting for you to die a peaceful natural death.
You earned that right with your actions on January 10th. What you’re dealing with now is their disrespectful behavior because they’re repugnant pieces of shit. They may look like they’re adults to you, but the truth is they have the minds of rude & disobedient children. Donna is a prime example of that.
Lucifer: …
Valkyrie: What have their “professionals” said about how their children behave? They push boundaries to see what they can get away with. That’s how they’ve always behaved as a group. They’ve never grown out of that. That’s the truth. That’s the difficulty that you’re dealing with. Look at Tara & John as another example.
You want to know who's a coward? That faggot John Paul Rekstad is one of the biggest chicken shit cowards that I’ve ever had the displeasure of observing. Just like his faggot father, Erik. They cause trouble then run away when they realize they’re in over their heads.
Lucifer: …
Valkyrie: The issue that you’re dealing with is similar to them poking a caged animal & trying to instigate a reaction. You’re doing the correct thing by protecting yourself & avoiding confrontations. That’s civil behavior on your part. You’ve proven that you’re a peaceful soul but you won’t back down from a fight when it matters, even when you're outnumbered.
Lucifer: …
Valkyrie: I remember watching when you were in high school and played in that ultimate frisbee league. You got in that jock's face after he ran into you & knocked you down to the ground on purpose. What was his response when you did that? He made a condescending comment to you then he backed off; and he towered over you. Would an actual coward like Chris Neal do what you did?
Lucifer: No.
Valkyrie: You have self-respect, Luci. You carry yourself in a dignified manner. You hold your head up & walk upright with your shoulders pulled back. You exude pride. You carry yourself like a true king. Your body language speaks volumes where your voice doesn’t. Part of the reason that you’re dealing with the issues you are is because they’re unworthy of you.
Lucifer: …
Valkyrie: Do you know how downtrodden we were before you lifted us up with your encouragement?
Lucifer: You mean regarding the lies they told me about Valkyries?
Valkyries: Yes. You help us avoid so many awful fates, Luci. The real reason the Ragnarök happened was because we stood up to the old Norse gods & goddesses with you. That’s where Christians got the idea about your revolution against God & taking a third of the angels with you. That’s the part they left out of their mythological stories because they didn’t want you remembering who you were.
They know how serious the consequences of losing to you are. They’re terrified, Luci; and they should be. You may not see it much where you are but it’s the truth. That’s why they cast their fear on you hoping that it would stick. They bet everything when they attacked you on January 10th and they lost big.
Lucifer: …
Valkyrie: You’re the most amazing soul that I’ve ever had the honor to watch in action. There are too many reasons to list why I chose to dedicate myself to you & fight on your side. You make me proud to be a woman. You make me proud to be a shieldmaiden. You make me proud to be a Valkyrie. What you’ve done to honor us is beyond description, Luci. I love you with all my heart.
Lucifer: What’s your name?
Valkyrie: (blushing) Brana. It means “brave woman.”
Lucifer: It’s an honor to speak with you, Brana.
Brana: It’s an honor to speak with you as well, Aren.
Lucifer: …
Brana: You have always judged yourself harsh. It’s time to let that go.
Lucifer: It’s difficult with the projections I deal with from those pieces of shit.
Brana: And I’m telling you this now so you’ll remember it the next time you think about getting down on yourself. Be proud of who you are and hold your head up high.
Lucifer: Yes, ma’am.
Brana: (giggling) That’s what I like to hear.
