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.

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.

	"I'd prefer it when I'm old, surrounded by my proud progeny, with perhaps a buxom nursemaid at my bedside," Kael said dryly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)

	shield_maiden 2012-08-19 12:25 am UTC (link)
	"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)

	"None, thy lives are thy own," the demon replied, a smile returning to his lips, "more than thou realizes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif did not smile, but she did offer a barely perceptible nod of approval and acknowledgement of Vernique's question when she was certain no one was watching her. Her eyes, however, remained entirely focused on her nephew. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

V comes over. And she's not quite tired enough, or hurt enough, to not realize what Svalin needs at all. She brings Solver over. "Mommyone's missed you too, Sweetie," she says, however absently, however twinged.

Then she looks back and forth from Surtur to the gang, eventually focusing on Marlow with an attempted smile and Aslief with weariness. "Get us the hell out of here?"

	Svalin took her eyes off of Surtur just long enough to look at her son and her wife. They were safe for the moment. A weight was lifted off her shoulders, but she wouldn't quite relax until they were out of here. "Go! Now!" Svalin ordered the others. She would cover their exit to make sure nothing attacked them from the rear (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Let us be gone," Asleif said. And they were. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-08-19 01:19 am UTC (link)
	When they're in safety, Vernique manages to take a moment from everything to go over to Marlow. "Marlow, I just wanted to thank you for being there. For understanding." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2012-08-19 01:29 am UTC (link)
	Marlow's mouth opened and closed in surprise. "Solver needed his mom," she said finally. "That's important." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-08-19 01:35 am UTC (link)
	Svalin kept quiet and stayed out of the way, but her attention was on her wife and son. They were safe, but Svalin wasn't going to drop her guard anytime soon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif did a brief headcount. Mortal. Elf. Ardis. Svalin. Other Mortal. Halbjorn. Iona. Solver. Good. Which left her further time to consider what had come to pass and what had been said. "Thou chagest all, nephew," she said, quietly, to herself. "Thou doth truly change all." ...And may thou be free to choose for thyself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-08-19 02:16 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah," Vernique said quietly, pressing her hand momentarily. "Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...This will make a most fine tale...made finer still when the blood of my traitor half elf of a bethrothed seeps into the earth..My friends...I owe all of thee atonement, had I but listened to my own mind and instinct..." She shook her head, good and truely ashamed that all this time, the traitor lay within reach and never once did she act. (Reply to this)(Parent)
