Dragon Hunting
The sun was bright and the air was crisp with the hint of the cold that was to come with winter. It was the perfect day for hunting and it was exactly what Svalin had planned to do. She walked easily beside the others and was eager to find prey.

She had been awake with the dawn and had been anxious to go. Nine months of sitting around and doing little were past her and it was time to get back out there. The days since Solver's birth had been spent getting back in shape when she wasn't spending time with her family. Hours in the practice yard with anyone who would spar with her and miles of running. She was a bit determined to get back into top shape as quickly as possible.

A bow was in her hand and Vigfrior at her side. She would have loved to bring Tryggvi, but horses and her brother didn't get along well so they walked. Svalin didn't mind. It would only help her get back in top shape.

	She couldn't help her heart pounding in her chest with excitement. Her breath was unnaturally loud to her own ears, suddenly feeling out of breath as she peered into the shadows. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Halbjorn remains stock still at first, other than the grin spreading across his face. He lets his sisters move quietly until they've chosen an approach, then he charges ahead. He has none of their stealth. He /can/ hunt, but this isn't for prey, and Svalin is moving like she's preparing for close quarters combat - so he moves to draw attention away from them.

Svalin hoped it was a dragon. They had crossed the plains of Ida and the forest that lay at the base of the Asgard Mountains. There had been dragon sightings of dragons in the mountains in the past, but Svalin was unsure if there were any still in the mountains.

She stepped out from around a tree and stopped at the sight before her. Dark Elves. What were their kind doing outside of Svartelfsheim?

More importantly why were they fighting each other?

She watched for a second before making her move.

	Aridis was half a step behind her sister. Then could not help the way she reacted. She drew her bow string back and stared watching the battle. " Tis most strange. I doth not know what they art doing. Mayhaps we should wait and see what ist going on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She blinked in confusion when her charged... Then stopped and followed them to power down at the battle, a strange twinge in her gut as she watched. "... They don't belong here.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Halbjorn reaches the others, snarling at the dark elves. "Aye." he agrees grimly. "And methinks we best inform them just how unwelcome they art." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Hold brother," Svalin said in that commanding tone she had when leading troops.

She assessed the situation as a general and as a future ruler of Asgard. Like her brother every instinct was telling her to charge in and defeat the enemies, but leading meant using one's brain along with muscle. Right now her brain was telling her this could be an opportunity for something.

"Nay. We art going to help the one being attacked."
