Einherjer, First Protector of the Gate, Tyr Hand of Justice, then down to their weapons then dropped them like they were on fire.  I looked at Tyr with pride, the respect he commanded among his men was stronger than Rhea's hold on them.
    Rhea growled and said, “One!”
    She locked eyes with me,  damn her red eyes were pretty, I wanted to... I shook my own head, in this enclosed space, her pheromones were getting more concentrated and I was starting to get aroused even through my nanite increased metabolism.  She recognized the battle within me then smiled sweetly and said almost seductively, “Two.”
    The affected Einherjer took aim.  I knew she wasn't bluffing, she had demonstrated that killing for her was just as easy as breathing.  I lifted my hand in the air and spread my fingers and the primary shield dropped.  The Titan grinned at me. “See?  Now that wasn't too bad was it?  It is so delicious that I can command you like my pets without having control of you.  And your race has no sexual preference or boundaries. I've never had female pets before.”  She put her elbows out and two Asgard women stepped past the Einherjer to eagerly take her arms and they walked out of the citadel with her other thralls and over half of the Einherjer.”
    She looked at the Einherjer and got a cruel smile on her face.  “No, not you loves, I need you to kill the Archer.  I'm done playing with her now.”
    I could hear her laughter echoing as the torrent of energy of a Frost Giant transport beam engulfed her and most of the innocents she had in tow. The ones who were too far away were vaporized, torn apart, or thrown away from the fury of energy like rag-dolls.
    Though the loss of life so violently and indiscriminately was almost enough for me to start retching on the ground, my immediate concern were the Einherjer turning their weapons on Artemis.  Her cloak could absorb a shot or two but not dozens!  She was already on the move back to the secondary shield as they opened fire.  Tyr and the others were trying to wrest the weapons from their grasp.
    A random blast hit Artemis in the left shoulder, the fabric of her cloak shimmered as she was spun violently and landed on the ground.  Kat, Inatra and I leaped and landed between the Einherjer and our friend.  Our nano-lattice flared as we absorbed all of the energy weapons fire quickly.  They dropped their sidearms and rushed us, trying to get to the Olympian, who was back on her feet behind us.
    I glanced at the secondary shield, there must have been a couple thousand people now, prominently Ragnarok, pounding on the shield.  I hissed, “Kroth!”  I didn't want to commit violence on my own people!  That is not what the Valkyrie do!
    I had no other choice, I couldn't let the men of the line kill Artemis.  I dropped my head in shame as two blades of blue crackling energy slowly extended from my arms as the men charged us.  Just as they were about to clash, I heard a crackling at the secondary shield then the familiar feel of Arina's personal shield bubble engulf me and the other women. It left the Einherjer pounding on her shield to no effect.
    I looked up at her and then laid the back of my hand on her cheek.  “I have never been happier to see you in my entire life Little One!”  The other women followed suit.  I looked back at the line then opened my hand and the primary shield snapped back to life.  I asked my Verr to please speak with the shield, they did and I yelled, “Tyr, take your unaffected men out the gates, we will isolate the other Einherjer until the effects wear off.  See to the injured innocents out there, we will send healers.”
    He nodded and ordered his men to pull back, they exited the citadel and a couple of the men trying to get at Artemis attempted to leave too but the shield wouldn't let them pass.  I looked through the secondary shield.  Ok, that just left the love starved throng still trying to get out the gates to join
