in a faraway kingdom, a baby was born at daybreak, to the King and Queen. It was a beautiful, perfect baby girl. But there was no celebration in the castle. Though the peasants in the land wanted to celebrate the child's birth, the King was displeased. He called the baby "Princess the First", for she did not even warrant a name in his eyes. The Bastard Prince, was secretly happy. With no legitimate male heir, the Kingdom would still belong to him. A year passed, and the first princess was ignored. The Queen was with-child again, and the King anxiously awaited the baby's birth, hoping for a legitimate heir. Yet once again, the Queen bore a girl. The King refused to lay eyes on either girl.

The girls were secluded within the castle grounds, far from the King and the Queen. They were to be raised by the cook. Though she wanted to see her daughters, the King forbade the Queen to see the girls. Ten years passed, and the Queen bore more daughters. Twenty two in all. And all twenty two were sent to the castle dungeon. Knowing that Princess the First is the rightful heir to the throne, the Bastard Prince attempts to kill her spirit. Once her spirit has been destroyed, the Prince thought, her body will follow. "Comply! Or I will move on to your young sisters," said the Prince. Princess the First wanted nothing more than to protect her sisters. After years without seeing her daughters, the Queen sneaks to the dungeon. But she was caught by the king, and dragged away. From this moment forward, the Princess knows there is no one to save her or her sisters. One night, not long after, the Princess awakens to find a blood stain in her bed. She crossed the threshold, into womanhood! Princess the First goes to the cook.

"Princess, you now have the power to give birth...it's your responsibility to carefully choose what you will use your powers of fertility to give birth to!" the cook told her. The next day, in the garden, the Princess is visited by a Hawk. She tells the Hawk of her predicament, she cannot allow the Bastard Prince to do to her sisters what he has done to her. The Hawk is wise and sends her on a Quest saying, "You shall obtain the tools necessary to free your sisters." But the Princess protests that she does not want to go, she cannot abandon her sisters. But the Hawk tells her "There are only two paths she can follow. You can save your sisters by entering into a lifelong bondage... or, you can save yourself first, and in doing so free not just your sisters, but all women ever to be born into this kingdom." The Hawk christens her Princess Valhalla Hawkwind. Finally, she has a Name!

Princess Valhalla does not understand the Hawk's request and begins to cry. She thinks to herself, "There must be a third way, a way to stop the Bastard Prince." In that moment she grabs a knife! And cuts off all her hair! "This will make me ugly to the Bastard Prince. Now he will leave me alone!" That night, Princess Valhalla awakes to a shining full moon. Her hair has all grown back! Sitting at the end of her bed is the Bastard Prince. To her surprise, he is being held back by an invisible force which allows her to escape untouched. Once she is out into the night, she runs like the wind as far away from the castle as possible. Then, Princess Valhalla lifts off into the night sky, flying away. There is no turning back! Where will her voyage take her? Will she be able to save her sisters?
