Valkyries

The **Valkyries** are a powerful race of *Demi-Goddesses*, who scout battlefields for honorable powerful soldiers and then take their souls to their home Valhalla, where they are brought back to life and train for the Final World Battle. They are forces of good tasked with preparing warriors to fight on the side of good when the final battle between good and evil comes.

## History

### Holding Leo Hostage

Some time after coming to the past, Chris Perry makes a deal with the Valkyries to hold Leo Wyatt hostage for him. After Chris sends him to Valhalla, the Valkyries trap him in an arena and use him as a gladiator to test their warriors.

When they learn that Leo is missing, Phoebe and Paige are able to track him. Chris then provides them with Valkyrie Pendants by killing three Valkyries, including one named Leysa. The sisters then travel to Valhalla and manage to free Leo. However, when Piper is confronted with him, her feelings and memories return. She lashes out at him and decides to remain on the island.

### Retrieving Their Warriors

When the two sisters and Leo escape the island, three warriors follow them. Believing the Final World Battle had begun, they start attacking mortals. Meanwhile, the Valkyries discuss what to do with Piper. Mist senses she was a Valkyrie, but that it is not pure. Freyja decides to accept her regardless.

When the Valkyries learn their warriors are killing mortals, they realize they have to stop them. Piper offers to help, as she is from the city. Once inside San Francisco, they track the warriors to a crime scene. They are then bothered by a group of bikers and they knock them out. Piper then comes up with the idea to blend in by dressing as bikers.

The Valkyries confront the warriors, but they are too confused to believe them. The two groups then fight until Phoebe and Paige arrive. They try to cast a spell on Piper, but it fails and Piper leaves with the Valkyries and the warriors after finally convincing them.

### Piper Leaving

The two sisters later follow Piper back to Valhalla and cast another spell on her. This time it works and Piper comes to her senses. The Valkyries want to attack Phoebe and Paige, but Piper stops them. She then tells Freyja it is time to go home and assures her their secret is safe.

### Fighting Zankou

A few Valkyries were recruited to help the Charmed Ones battle Zankou and his demonic forces after he steals the Book of Shadows and takes over the manor.
