Humanity lost his first round...Brunhilde and Göll lost their sister and the goddess of peace...lost one of her precious children...her kind jasmine...
This is Eirene's reaction to the first round, as you can see she was affected by Randgriz's death since. like all the valkyries, she was one of the children she raised in the Hesperids garden. Eirene refers to the valkyries with flowers, Randgriz was her jasmine, the flower that represents kindness..
Eirene belongs to @oowlie_art (alias me @sketchy-owl )
It seems Brunhilde came to the goddess of life and maternity for something, shall we see what she wants?

Unsurprisingly being the goddess of child rearing was a very slow job, only being in your dominion full of plants and animals where the sun shines but isn't scalding hot. you just got to chill and watch the clouds, stars and animals all day. That was until certain Valkyrie came to you
She bowed deeply and was polite, something uncommon for the supposedly rude Valkyrie, it seems that the others gods were exaggerating
" Morning, Valkyrie" you lie your head against a mount of leaves " is there anything I can help you with or are you here to enjoy the weather
" I would never bother you like this just for that" you see a young Valkyrie behind her skirt
" Ow, is that Goll, the youngest Valkyrie, I think I might remember taking care of you for a while?" She seems taken aback but Brunhilde confirms
" This is indeed Goll, i believe you took care of her for a few weeks, in surprised you even remember her"
" Well there aren't many newborn gods or demigods so the little pipsqueak would be the last one I had" you close your eyes, getting comfortable " now, i will ask you again. Why are you here"
" You must be up to date with the fact that Ragnarok is about to start, Right?" You nod silently " i want your fruits of rebirth" a breath gets stuck in your throat
" Why so?"
Brunhilde's smile turns twisted and malicious " isn't it obvious? We will win no matter what but don't you think it will be so worth it the look on everyone's faces as we win the last round and all the Valkyries walk up to the stage while the supposedly dead humans are still alive, even if only as babies?"
You only laugh " ya know what? I don't care~ I cared for twelve gods at the same time. I think I can deal with some humans. Grab some pomegranates" you point your finger to a somewhat tall tree full of golden fruit
Hearing them walk away you get more comfortable and try to sleep again
There is only warm air and cool dirt until you a sudden weight fall on your stomach making you bite your lip
" What the hell!" A little boy's voice yells " where are we!?"
" I remember this place, i feel it" a somewhat familiar girl's quips
" What in hell was that?!" You quickly stand up only to see two kids around 7 and 5, a girl and a boy respectively
" Ah! Miss yn! So long since we saw each other" The auburn girl throws herself to your leg hugging you " we are at miss yn's dominion! I know i remembered this"
You pat her head, seemingly they were the first ones to die " so little randgriz, who is your friend" you look down to the boy who could barely reach your knees
" This is Lu Bu! He is the first of mankind's warriors, though it seems like we failed." Seeing as lu bu wasn't planning on saying something she nags him a little " c'mon say something!"
Lu Bu just growls when randgriz gets too close, you grab her arm and drag her closer to you " it seems your little friend has rabies, Huh?"
" I don't know who you are!" He points towards you two" I don't know where I am! Stay far away or I will beat your ass!"
Grabbing him roughly from the neck of the ill fitted shirt you dangel him " many words for someone who is one third of my size" pinching his arm you continue " and seem one meal away from passing out." Turning him around watching the dirt in his hair and skin" I might not be an expert on human children but I'm sure you should have more than one bath yearly "
He tries to take a bite out of your hand and you let him, a human kid couldn't really hurt a god, as weak as they can be.
He seems surprised when you don't react
" If you are going to behave like a dog I will put on a collar and call you spike, so I recommend you behave like a semi decent human and let go" he looks straight into your eyes, now slower you repeat "Let. Go" he now slacks his jaw " good boy"
" He might be scared that Red Hare isn't here! It's his best friend!" Randgriz chips in " before we entered the fight he was feeding it some fruit big sister Brunhilde gave us"
" Stop" you say, semi scared " was it some seedy golden fruit?" The human kid looked at you without knowing what you meant
" Yep! How did you know? Did you give it to Brunhilde?" without waiting for an answer she turns to lu bu, dragging him to a side " follow me, that tree over there has the tastiest and juiciest pears"
" Am I about to have a god damned horse in here?!" Without much wait the mentioned horse fell into your arms neighing scared " hello there I guess."
Setting It down you yell "LU BU COME GET YOUR HORSE" but it seems that said horse was running towards the kids " or you can go to him, anything works i guess"
You only hear them yelling and randgriz laughing " well, at least someone is having fun" Stretching backwards you walk towards them " well it seems i have to act as a caretaker again, huh?"
You swallow saliva and yell towards them " hey, hurry up!" Randgriz turns towards you expectantly and Lu Bu keeps facing red Hare and petting it " story time! Hurry!"
Even if he didn't seem too interested there wasn't much he could do while getting carried by a Valkyrie child, even as children the average demigod could lift as much as their fully grown human counterpart.
Sitting on a the old blanket you see them approach rapidly while hearing randgriz talk about some stories you told her, for someone who looks so regal older you don't remember her being such an active child
Now next to you, randgriz drops Lu Bu on one of the corners of the blanket while sitting next to him " tell us about that story with brother Hercules! Or the time Loki cut Sif's hair and Thor hunted him down! Or-!"
" But you already heard those stories, why don't we let our newest friend over here choose" he seems taken aback by suddenly being in the spotlight " i know some stories that might be interesting to you, maybe the trojan war or, if you are feeling exceptionally pretentious I could tell you a novelisation of the biography of the Flying General Lu Bu"
" Oh! He is interested!" randgriz chips in
" Randgriz just because you can sense his feelings means you can be so straightforward" you pat her head softly "either way your human friend seems to want to hear this one so why don't we start?"
