Between sisters
Aridis was thinking over all that had happened. There was much to think about. Fate had much in store for them and theirs and much of it was unexpected. She had always thought that it would be Svalin or Aslief that would end up in the position that the All-Father had said was to be hers if everything went the way Aridis expected it would.

She did not want it for a moment. She could not change fate though. To do so would to risk ruin.

Thinking all of this over she began to fix herself a mug of tea. She had grown fond of the way the mortals brewed it and found some of the more fragrant blends were most enjoyable.

"Thou words art of comfort, sister. Thou art mine twin and I love thee beyond words. I love all of mine siblings, but that love must not come before mine duty to Asgard. It hath once and hath cost many lives and nearly the life of our brother. I doth not have the option of putting mine family before Asgard."

"When I art weak in mine conviction and dedication, I think of thee and how thou art all that ist good and pure. This ist what must be preserved and protected. Thou art truly a bright spot of warmth and light in Asgard and in many lives. Thou giveth me strength and purpose and without thee I wouldst be lost and hath surely hath failed by now."

"Aye thou art right. But we art not perfect and we are capable of mistakes even when they art born on the wings of the best of intentions. You didst not mean to fail anyone," Aridis says simply knowing her twin all too well.

She was glad to know she gave comfort to her sister. She thought it was good that even when they were not together on a battlefield she could still lend her sister strength.

"I thank thee sister. I wish to be a warrior and not a maiden who needs to be guarded but it ist good to know that I can lend thee strength wher'er you are. I do not like it when I can't fight by your side but I am best put to use with the archers."

"The point remains. I didst not do mine duty and lives wert lost because of it."

Svalin gave her sister a small sad smile. "Thou art mine sister. It ist always mine duty and responsibility to protect thee and the others."

She nodded.

"Aye. We serve where we art best. Thee with the archers. Me commanding the troops. Asleif with the sorcerers and Halbjorn with the bear sarks. I wouldst much prefer to be at thine side and Hal's on the battlefield."

She looked away.

"Father hath suggested time away from thee, Asleif and Halbjorn when we return to Migard to clear mine thoughts and find mine way. He hath suggested I join the Avengers. I doth not like the idea of being away from thee and the others, but I doth believe Father ist correct."

She's going to let this go for now.

"It ist ours to help protect you too," Aridis echoes it is an age old argument. But it is one Aridis knows she will never truly win.

""Aye. I wouldst wish I were better with a sword but takes a keen eye and a steady hand to fire a bow like I do," Aridis says with a simple nod. She takes in what comes next and simply agrees.

"Aye. It sounds like a wise move. Sometimes it is best to go a different way for a time. When you come back your mind will be clear."

"I couldst always stand to improve mine skills with a bow."

"I doth not want to go. I love thee all too much to be separated from you, but I wilt not be able to do mine duties to Asgard and Father. I wilt be making mine decision when we art to return to Migard."

"Aye. Thou could," Aridis says with an amused smirk appearing on her face.

Then she nods in a very calm collected manner.

"Aye. I understand. Think on it well. We love thee dearly. If you need to go away for a time we will understand, sister," Aridis says in a diplomatic manner.

"Speak thine mind and heart, sister," Svalin said. "It doth not serve either of us to not do so."

Svalin smiled. "Who knows? Mayhap e'en Asleif may miss mine presence."

"That I doth doubt."

Svalin went quiet for a moment. "I ask of thee to watch our brother. When the madness takes him...."

"Aye. I will take watch. It is my honor," Aridis says with a bow of her head. She would gladly take up that post for her sister.

"It ist not an easy task and thy wilt be putting thine life at stake when thou wilt try to bring him out of the madness. I wouldst not ask it of thee unless it wast important."

"It is! He ist our brother. We must keep an eye out for him," Aridis says with a light burning in her eyes. She would not fail to do as asked.

"I do not fear his madness. I only wish to help him."

Svalin shook her head. "Thou shouldst fear his madness. When the madness doth grip him, he doth not know friend from foe, e'en a sister. Thou must always be prepared to defend thyself when talking to him when he ist in that state."

"There ist no helping him, Aridis. It ist who he ist. The best thou canst do is point him in the proper direction and hope he still draws breath at the end."

Aridis nods understanding the warning for what it is. "I merely meant that I do not see him as a mad man or a monster. He ist our brother and he has my love no matter what happens. If he ist lost I will help him find his way back. It ist an honor to aid family."

Svalin nodded in understanding. "I understand, sister. I must go. Much to do. Fare thee well, Aridis."
