Fever and Valkyries, while seemingly unrelated, share a common thread: intensity and potential for transformative action. Fever, in the context of illness, is a heightened body temperature signaling an immune response, often uncomfortable but ultimately working to restore health. Valkyries, in Norse mythology, are powerful female figures who choose who lives and dies in battle, carrying worthy fallen warriors to Valhalla. Both represent periods of heightened activity and significant change, one within the body, the other on the battlefield, with the potential to lead to either positive outcomes (recovery/Valhalla) or dire consequences depending on the circumstances.
