Brunhilda the Valkyrie

Brunhilda is from Icelandic and German mythology and she is the most attractive of all the Valkyries.

She wouldn't permit Odin to have his way with her.



So Odin feeling quite angry about this, put her to sleep in a ring of fire atop a mountain peak, with the intention that she might only be woken up by a hero fearless enough walk through the fire ring.

Along came Sigurd who had a magical ring and was adamant about being engaged to her. He loved her tremendously.
