Rescuing the bride to be
Svalin was always a bit disorientated after one of Asleif's teleportation spells. She shook off the nauseous feeling and looked around. This was the realm of the Celtic gods, but more importantly the lair of Manawydan. Somewhere inside one of the buildings up ahead, her sister was being held prisoner.

Svalin hoped they had arrived before the wedding.

She drew her sword and readied her shield.

"For Asgard!" she yelled and held her sword aloft. Talking was not an option at this point.

	"This ist not my first time removing a spear from you, brother." Svalin shook her head, took a deep breath and then pushed the spear the rest of the way through him. "Nay. They art still inside." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

When its through, he picks up the bloody spear, moving his arm so she can get to the other one easier. "Twas a fair shot. Wast there someone of that skill amongst them, or didst I drive myself onto it to take his head?" he asks curiously, never quite sure. "He shouldst have a good pyre if twas the former... or do Celts bury their dead? I canst ne'er remember."

He nods to the second hopefully. "Art we still waiting for them and this ridiculous plan then, or doth we get to go and remove the offender's hands and any other body part that mayst hath touched our sister?"

"It wast the latter," Svalin said as she moved to get a good grip on the spear shaft. "Thou wert under the influence of the battle frenzy." She started to push. "I doth not know. The Celts hath always been most strange."

She smiles a little. "We art going to hunt him." The spear was out and she started binding the wounds. Unconsciously she started healing him. "Then make him pay for daring to touch our sister."

He curses bitterly, snapping the spear in his hands in his frustration. "Gods be-damned Celts. Don't they teach their children anything these days! I wast hopeful at least one of them hadst some skill to him that I couldst honor them and come away with some memory other than blue-faced wilting flowers pissing themselves. It assaults mine senses e'en now with the smell of it."
He's far more upset that he had to do all the work of running himself through for them than he is about running himself through. And definitely more than about her working it out of him.

The latter news helps a bit. "Dost thou want his head or some other bit of him? I wilt be sure it survives if so."

Svalin was as angry as her brother, but not for the same reason. Her siblings were her responsibility and she had failed her sister. She was angry at herself along with being angry at the Celt who took Aridis.

"Thou canst have what I leave for you," she told him as she kept working on binding his wounds.

"I get first shot at the knave for abducting my twin sister."

His eyes narrow, and normally they might argue a bit, even good naturedly, but one, he's exhausted, and he knows it. The rage takes a lot out of him when he loses himself so firmly. Second, she's exerting her authority. He doesn't want to argue when she does that, its a thing to be encouraged.

"Then quit dallying with trifles, I wilt just tear the bandages open and thou knowst it quite well. Thou hast a sister to rescue, and a Celt to kill. Painfully."

	"I art making sure thou art with me at Ragnarok," she said as she tied a makeshift bandage off. She smiled. "Ist there any other way to kill an enemy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He snorts. "These wounds? Pah, they art not e'en enow to give me a taste for drink to numb them. Hadst I half a mind whilst I wast fighting them, mayhap I wouldst hath given myself a better one just so the Celts couldst go to whate'er paradise full of elves and soft music awaits them without feeling entirely fools. Leave off and let us go, if I leave a little more blood here at least the land wilt taste courage for a few moments."

He stands, steadying himself and testing his grip on his axe. "Aye, the way mortals like it. But we hath no time to kill him quietly in his sleep and he mayst enjoy it." he spits. "Celts." he adds, like it were a cuss word.

	Svalin climbed to her feet and grabbed her sword. She wiped the blade off on her leggings. "Thou art always so eager to throw away thine life," she said as she took a quick inventory of her own wounds. They would be fine for now. Later she would have to see to them. "Let us go then. Mine sword ist eager to meet more Celts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His eyes darken. "Mine life wast written long before I wast born. Mine actions wilt not make it shorter or longer by a single moment. Mine only task ist to make that story as glorious as possible." His grip tightens on his axe. "Aye, I promised the coward there wouldst be blood between us, and mine word wilt not be broken. Lead on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thou wilt be by mine side at Ragnarok," she insisted. Even if she had to go into Hel and drag him out. Svalin lead him toward the buildings. (Reply to this)(Parent)
