Grimgerde: From the saddle she hastily lifts the woman.
Ortlinde/Waltraute/Grimgerde/Schwertlind: (all running into the wood) (#5?:) Sister! Sister (:#5?)! What has happened?
(All eight Valkyries return to the stage; with them comes Bruennhilde, supporting and leading Sieglinde.)
Bruennhilde: (breathlessly: [[ #90b: ]]) Shield me and help me in direst need [“hoechster Noth”] (:#90b)!
[Her sisters ask her what’s up.]
Bruennhilde: For the first time I flee and am being pursued! Father of battles [“Heervater”] is hunting me down!
The eight Valkyries: (deeply alarmed) Have you lost your senses? (…) Father of battles pursues you? Is it from him that you’re fleeing? (#83 [with a hint of #87?])
Bruennhilde: Look northwards to see if the Lord of the Slain’s drawing near! (#83?:) Quick, can you see him yet (:#83?)?
Ortlinde: A thunder-storm’s blowing from the north! (…)
The six other Valkyries: The father of battles is riding his sacred steed.
