Bittersweet Homecoming
The view from the highest tower in Asgard was the same as she remembered it, but this time it didn't offer the calm and peace it usually did. Svalin's heart and mind were heavy and the beauty of the Golden Realm didn't offer the solace she had been seeking.

It was good to be home and good to be back in Asgard, but at the same time she was sad to be home. She'd probably never see Jon again. He had been right when he said they each had duties to see to and she would do hers. She just wished it didn't hurt so much.

Momone had been happy to see her return and Sif being Sif was proud Svalin had proved herself worthy and would take her proper place in Asgard. Momtwo had practically smothered here with TLC and had noticed she wasn't herself. Svalin had told her about Jon and the time spent with him. It got her a good dose of home cooking and a generous amount of mead. Nothing helped heartache than some TLC from Momtwo.

She swore Astrid and Eir had grown a few inches in the months Svalin had been gone. Skari had grown a lot. Soon he would be taller than Svalin, but she would still be able to kick his ass if needed.

Svalin had made a quick stop to pay respects to Lord Odin and Lady Frigga, but for the most part she kept to herself.

Thor sighs, placing a hand on his daughter's shoulder.

"Twas not mine desire... tis the way of Asgard. We... art not mortals, in part because we hath not their freedom. A great weight, and a great responsibility hang o'er us all. Would that we couldst give in to our heart's desires... I wouldst now give nigh anything to save thee from this pain... for no father wants to see his daughter in such a state. But tis the cost of being a god of Asgard."

	"It wast a lesson I needed to learn," she said. She nodded. "I wanted nothing more than to stay with him, Father, but I know mine duty and wilt do it. Mine heart wilt hurt less with time. 'Tis the way of things according to Momtwo." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wilt I be permitted to return to Migard?" she asked. She hadn't thought of anything past returning home. Now she had to decide which path she wanted to take. "I hast friends there, mine siblings to see and a difference to make. Migard doth need hope as much as Asgard. I hath seen what it could be and it ist something worth fighting for."

	Svalin smiled. "Aye, it ist. I wilt do mine duty to Asgard when needed, but I wouldst like more time on Migard." This was a big change from the Svalin who didn't want to be on Migard when they were first sent there. "First I must spend some time in the smithy. Mine sword wast broken and I must forge mineself a new one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
