I Followed My Small Destiny With Valor
Svalin didn't sleep during the night as she never could sleep on the eve of battle. Instead she waited with armor and Vigfrior ready. This would be the toughest battle of her life so far and though she knew she'd lose, she wouldn't go down without putting up a fight. She didn't know when she would be whisked away, but she would be prepared for when it did happen.

One moment she was in the small bungalow she shared with her wife, son and Brandr and the next was at the base of Yggdrasil.

	"I trust you. You should go with her for Solver's sun-time. I need to make business calls and stuff." She gives Svalin another hug and then leaves the room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin returned the hug and watched her wife leave. Once she was out of the room Svalin sighed heavily and wished her hot chocolate was mead. "Battle ist easier than marriage," she said to no one in particular. "I doth suspect that Solver wilt be waking soon," she said to Brandr. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Battle is easier than many things in life," he says simply. "Aye, the young lord doth not sleep much. I art sure he wilt be to see thee," Brandr smiles gently. Nothing he can do about their marital problems but ease any concerns about Solver's safety by just being around. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye," Svalin agreed. She frowned. "I art good at causing mine wife much distress. It doth be a talent I hath developed." "It wilt be good to see him. Seeing him doth lessen mine worries." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There art many a man and woman who hath developed just that talent," he smiles reassuringly. "It ist nothing new nor something thou shouldst punish thyself over." Brandr nods and finally an amused smile slips out. "He doth enjoy thine yule present very much it seems." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mayhap, but she ist mortal and ist not used to things that we find normal or acceptable. I doth not make things easier for her with mine actions. It ist not easy to know someone you doth love wilt die." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye. But the lady must find comfort in the fact that thou art reborn each time. Thou may die but ye art not gone from this world forever." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It ist not only the dying, but the torture, as she calls it, of watching what wilt be if Solver ist not safe. I doth tend to focus on it. When Lord Odin didst tell us about Solver, he told us mine son couldst be the doom of Asgard and Migard. I hadst nightmares and couldst not think of anything else."

Svalin shook her head. "I art the goddess of hope, but I dwell on the bad things that couldst happen instead of the positive. That ist what she ist worried about as well as the dying."

Brandr nods understandingly. "Aye, thine wife has a point. Little canst be accomplished by dwelling on that which we hath little control over." He gives her a smile and continues. "Mine father hath always been of the opinion life shouldst be enjoyed and not spent on brooding upon the bad. Mayhap thou needs more things to enjoy and focus on. Come, let's find the young lord. No boy shouldst be left without a chance to wield his new sword."

"Aye, mayhap," Svalin said. "Halbjorn doth say the same." They didn't understand. They hadn't seen what could be. It didn't haunt their dreams each time they slept. So much rested upon this and Solver being a force of good. There were times when Svalin felt like carried the weight of the Nine Worlds upon her shoulders.

Svalin forced a smile. "Aye, let us find Solver and go enjoy the warm sun."

No, he couldn't ever understand without having seen it. All he knew was that the things that did trouble him, were ones that he preferred not to dwell on, it didn't accomplish anything but ruin other things. "If enough of us say the same thing then mayhap it doth not be a terrible thing to try," he smiles.

"Aye. The winters in this place so far are strange, warm and sunny." Which meant most of the clothing he had was next to useless but that was fine, it was only his fur cloak he was attached to. "Doth real winter not come soon?"

	"Mayhap," Svalin said. "There art places in Migard that doth get very cold in the winter. This ist not one of them." (Reply to this)(Parent)
