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.

	Svalin blinked and did the only thing she could. She took off running after her wife. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And Vernique will find little in the way of defenses as she flies through the palace. In fact, those few demons she encounters actually get out of her way with little issue. It's a straight shot through the palace until she enters a massive chambers that seemed to be half-molten cave and half-throne room. Upon a massive throne sat Surtur himself. Oddly on a perch next to the fire demon king was what looked like a giant, albeit ghastly, playpen. Solver flew a bit inside. He was clearly a little confused, but didn't seem entirely threatened.

Suddenly Surtur shifted his head slightly, eeirly spotting Vernique's tiny form easily.

"Svalin Thorsottir's mortal wife. Thou art earlier than I expected, but this is no matter." He casually points a finger to the makeshift play area. "Thou mayst go to him."

	Vernique doesn't need to be told twice. She darts right into the playpen, clutching at Solver's arm, growing enough to hold him. "Mommy's here," she says hoarsely. She'll get into the 'please tell me you don't think it's a good time for a 19-year war Asgard' thing in a minute. First, there is babyclutching. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Halbjorn comes behind as quickly as he can manage currently. He's in no shape to fight Surtur's legions right now - but for the safety of the others, he will if he has to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thy son is most interesting. Malekith could not discern his father's identity." Surtur's hands steeple. "Tell me, ist his parent an otherworldly mortal?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Solver's father was a lot of things. He's hard to remember. Temporal stuff." Vernique wasn't going to bother trying to lie to this guy. "But whatever else he was, he was a good Midgard boy, not a god." She stroked Solver's hair wearily and muttered, "Remember that, sweetheart. You're human, too. You don't have to be a part of this choreographed stuff. They can't make you."

	This is Surtur's realm, he could hear a pin-drop if he desired to. He hears Vernique's words and something akin to a smile forms on the demon-king's face. "In truth, mortal, I believe you may be correct." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin reached the fortress and stormed inside, ready to go through anything that stood in her way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iona was without a weapon, still in her wedding gown after all, but she stood with her friends, ready to aid in whatever manner she could, ready to give up her very life if it would return the young prince to his family. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Running through Surtur's fortress and the feelings it inspired by just being there, reminded the dark elf how very un-Aesir he was in temperament. Every logical voice in him was screaming at him to get out! But..he couldn't abandon Vernique and Solver.

"..never thought I'd burn to death. A lot of ways..but not burning," he muttered to himself as he strode to keep up.

	"An odd wish." Halbjorn muses aloud, moving to get in front of all who'll let him. His duty is to die first, that others may have time, and if today is that day, whatever fight he will or won't put up currently, he'll do his duty. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nobody's dying," Marlow said, glaring at Surtur. She was still harboring a mad-on and it leaked out of her in tiny power bursts. "If that was the case," she continued in a rare moment of total clarity, "we'd already be dead." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Surtur chuckles once and a loud sound reverberated through the caverns..Surtur giving Marlow a small round of applause for her deduction. "Precisely, mortal. Thou wast never in any danger from me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's a little relieving to her Svalin at least get upset over it. "So. I'm getting the impression that this whole big stupid idea was Malekith's and not yours," Vernique eventually manages, though she doesn't look at Surtur or the family because she's still really busy with the holding Solver thing. "Care to wash your hands of the whole mess?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Art thou blind, Thorsdottir? He ist right there, with thou wife," Surtur said, pointing to where Vernique was holding Solver in the giant pen. His giant face turns toward her. "Indeed. Malekith believed he could incur favor from me for delivering the child. The short-sighted fool wast obsessed too much with his scheme to realize the answer to Ragnarok lie not in magicks." Surtur grins. "Believe me, nothing wouldst please me more than to see thy son grow up healthy."

	Asleif was, to say the least, rather perplexed by this sudden outcome. Not that she would let anyone else see this. Because as far as anyone knew, she was never surprised. Her lips drew a thin line. "Fascinating." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Release him from the holding pen and let us go from here," she said. Her voice had a sharp edge to it and her hand held her sword tightly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Surtur raised an eyebrow at Svalin, clearly no longer amused. "I haft been gracious Thorsdottir. I doth not need thee alive. Don't press thy luck," he warned. "Nothing constrains thy wife and son as she no doubt can tell thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-08-19 12:38 am UTC (link)
	Vernique looks up wearily, checks out the creepy pen, and undoes a few things. "Yeah, hon. It's fine. Let's get the heck out of here." As she climbs out with Solver, she pauses just a moment to look up vaguely at Surtur. "No crazy divine catches to this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
