Wedding March to a War Drum (Kael, Aridis, Iona, Asleif, Hal)
The Hulk and Algrim were taking care of each other and were gone from Asgard. The threat that loomed over the city and her inhabitants was almost gone. The city was still on guard against Frost Giants and other enemies of Asgard, but for now they had a short respite.

It was time to see to the wounded and repair what they could before the next attack came. It was also time to celebrate a marriage. Alfveror had petition Lady Frigga for her permission to have the wedding and the Goddess of Marriage had agreed.

Despite the hard times they had just face and most of Asgard's warriors sporting injuries and quite a few dead, the city had a festive air about it.

Svalin had left to find her wife and son as soon as she got Hal back to the city and had gotten him medical attention. Her sister would see to Asgard as a queen's duty.

The wedding was about to start.

	Something was off here. Kael had felt..something..ever since they returned to Asgard, but he couldn't put his finger on it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She couldnt feel the ground under her as she began the long, lonely walk to her intended, her smile looking far more like a grimace.

Half way to Alfveror, she stopped, unable to force herself to put one foot in front of another for a long moment as she struggled to breathe...and then, as if in a dream she was at his side, taking his arm if only to keep herself standing, asking herself how she ever got to this point.

	Alfveror smiled when Iona approached. It wouldn't be too much longer before their plans would succeed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Aridis is one of the many on lookers at the wedding. As the Queen it is just one of her many duties. She feels... bad for her friend. This does not seem a good match as her young friend seems unhappy. But she can't step in. It it not her place and far too late to act. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Let is never be said that Asleif was one who did not like to make an entrance.

It started suddenly, with the cawing of birds, growing louder and louder, followed by the sound of beating wings, growing louder and louder still.

And then it began to grow dark, as countless ravens in the air threatened to blot out the sun itself. They swooped down, darting amongst guests and attendees, raising an awful din.

As one, they began to fly toward the center of the aisle, in front of Iona, cawing and fluttering at they formed a virtual tornado of feathers, becoming an indistinct, inky blackness that formed itself into a humanoid figure, blackness giving way to emerald and gold clothing, pale, hauntingly beautiful features, and hair as black as night.

She threw back her arms, her cloak sweeping open in a suitably dramatic gesture.

"I doth object!"

...She had always wanted to say that.

	Kael registered this arrival outwardly quite well. Inside he was thinking 'Asleif!? What in Hel!' (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sister." Aridis is stern sounding but her eyes twinkle slightly. "Explain tine self. I doth wonder why you protest." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"This wedding must not come to pass," Asleif said. "Time draws ever shorter... and though that which I could do to slow it was done... We cannot afford to tarry one moment more."

She had forestalled what she could... but even her powers paled in comparison to Sutur's. Stopping this wedding would throw further wrenches into the plan. Hopefully enough to spare her nephew's life.

"Let us be done with this place."

She brought her hands up and wove her spell quickly, bringing her sister and their allies into the magic.

And they vanished.

	Never had a bride looked so relieved..it didn't matter to where they were taken, it was far, far away and the first thing she did as soon as they materialized was to rip the crown of flowers from her head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"....What trickery did you just pull us from," Aridis says calmly. She has a steel to her tone that indicates she is about to explode with anger of some kind. She wants answers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I care not, my lady...I am forever in your debt..." She shook her head fervently, wishing she could rid herself of the gown she was trussed up in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She shook her head. "Thine thanks art not necessary, Iona. I wouldst not see any bound to such a toad."

"Trickery indeed, sister," Asleif said, her demeanor as calm as ever (when she wasn't exploding into rage over the idiocy around her).

"Little of what thee experienced was real. T'was the magic of the fae realm, preying on thine nightmares and fears instead. Malekith sought to trap thee all there, to keep Asgard unguarded and a prime target for his malice. Thine wedding, Ioana, wouldst have sealed the magics so.

"He approached me, separately, believing I would support his mad goals in exchange for a position of power. He would do harm to my blood, expect me to betray the Realm... But it was he who was played. I watched, I learned, I waited.

But even I could not do all. Sutur has Solver."

	"Then we go and claim our nephew back," Aridis says in a steely tone. This was all a trick? Damn Malekith for trying to trap them. One day he will pay but it is time to go after Sutur and take back Solver. "You did well sister. I am proud of thee." Only Aslief could undo a plot like this and Aridis knows that.

	"Surtur!?" Kael felt an unmistakable twinge of fear. He was a brave man, but to face the fire demon king... "We..we need some manner of strategy. We can't just lay siege to a foe who has battled Odin himself." (Reply to this)(Parent)
