But Wotan commands them to go and leave their sister to her doom, threatening all who may aid her with a like punishment, and he exiles them from the mountain and from the Valkyries' Rock. The awe-stricken daughters of the god then hasten to their steeds, and depart with moans and cries. Brynhildr sinks to the feet of Wotan. They are in silence and alone, and she raises her eyes to the eyes of her father.
