Dire Omens
The trip to the Cave of Ages had been dangerous and long. Enemies had been on her heels the entire way and there were times when Svalin didn't think she would make it. Asgard was no more. The city had been destroyed in the attack and a few survivors had managed to escape the destruction. Svalin had managed to find them after she had crawled out from the rubble she had been trapped under. She was now on a quest to prevent the destruction of Asgard.

She stepped into the Cave of Ages. She emerged in the past before Asgard had been destroyed.

	Not yet destroyed... but under assault from all sides. All the dark forces, all those who had cause to do Asgard harm, seemed allied against them. Aslief's spells were sorely pressed, offering what measure of defense and attack she could. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Well met sister," Svalin said as she came upon Asleif. Yet, Svalin was at the walls leading the forces of Asgard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif was instantly on greater guard. "What sorcery be this, that seeks to deceive she who hath made deception her calling?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No sorcery," Svalin assured her. "I didst come through the Cave of Ages back to this time. Asgard hast fallen and all is lost." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Bite thine tongue," she said. "Our enemies hath a new weapon. Thou wilt come to the future with me and we wilt steal it from them. They keep it in the vault and hath grown lax in their vigilance. Thou wilt bring it back here to use it against them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...That hath a good chance of breaking the laws of causality," Asleif said. But she glanced around. "But I doth suppose we hath little choice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin nodded. "Canst thou take us to the Cave of Ages or a spell to take us into the future?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The cave, I canst manage," she said. "But the veil of time id beyond my taxed powers." She concentrated, then whisked them away to the Cave. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They arrived at the cave and Svalin stepped inside. In a few steps they were back in the future. "They art keeping it in the Vault in Asgard. Canst thou take us there?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif started to cast her spell, but her hands fell to her sides. "Nay. Not so directly. Wards block mine spells." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin didn't like teleporting, but it was the easiest way to get close to their destination. She drew her sword, expecting trouble when they came out in Asgard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They materialized near the gates of the palace, hidden slightly by an alcove. "As close as I canst manage. Mine powers are sorely pressed... else I might have pierced them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Worry not, sister. Thou didst well," Svalin said as she started heading deeper into the palace. She didn't worry about her back. Her sister would have it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif readied quick spells for attack as she followed closely behind her sister. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They only made it a short distance before things appeared in their path. The two dark shapes looked like a mismash of animal and human. Svalin charged in with her sword. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The one beast went down under Svalin's sword and the other fell from Asleif's magical blast. The small skirmish wasn't quiet and there would be others coming soon. Svalin charged ahead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
