To say Svalin didn't deal well with inactivity was a big understatement. She was not the type to sit still and do very little which made this pregnancy into a very taxing thing. The blood of warriors ran her her veins and it wasn't easily stilled. It made her irritable and restless.

Svalin was awake before the sun had risen. A nightmare, one of her son destroying Asgard and Migard and Jon accusing her of letting it happen, woke her and she found sleep elusive afterward. The words spoken to her by her grandfather on her wedding day weighed heavily on her mind. She could not easily ignore the possibility of her son being the cause of the destruction of two worlds.

Svalin made her way up to the main building and to the training room. Some exercise and practice would help calm her thoughts and help her center herself. She programmed the room to a low level setting and had it create some robot opponents. Svalin knew they were a creation of light and force fields, but they would serve her purpose well enough.

Vigfrior was a sword and she started hacking through the fabricated robots.

	"Come then. We canst talk o'er some food and drink." She said as she sheathed Vigfrior. "I hath many doubts and concerns, but I art also scared," she said as they started walking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods, and moves to follow, just behind and to her right. "Aye, tis quite a responsibility. But thou'rt the princess of Asgard. Thou wilt o'ercome thy fear, and do better than any of us e'er thought possible." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I hope thou'rt correct," she said. "If it wert just having a child, I wouldst not worry as much. Lord Odin didst speak to Vernique and I. There art concerns for Asgard and Migard regarding mine son." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If the all-father ist concerned, then it must be important indeed. Tis good that it ist thine responsibility then. Few others wouldst be up to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-05-09 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye," she said. "There ist much to concern Lord Odin. Mine son wilt either be a light for Asgard and Migard, or the doom of both. I fear mine shoulders art not enow to bear such responsibility. What if I fail and I art the cause of such devastation?" Doubt, fear and uncertainty are things the Asgardian was not used to dealing with. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then I hath a question for thee in turn. Dost thou trust me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin stopped walking. "Of course. With mine life." She did and had many times. Every time he succumbed to the madness, she trusted him to recognize her and come out of it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good, then thou shalt not fail unless all of us hath failed as well. Ne'er shalt thee fail, unless the bear hast fallen first. Thou'rt both mine sister and mine liege-lady. Mine life ist thine... so worry not on such things. If thou trusteth me to hold the line for thee, then thou wilt ne'er fail." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tears formed and spilled from her eyes. She hugged him tightly. "I art truly blessed to have a brother such as thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-05-09 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	He hugs her back. "Aye, I and mine art cursed that others mayst be blessed. Didst thou think I wast born such without purpose? Tis not only in war that I stand between thee, and all foes. Thou wilt succeed... I stake mine life on it, always. Hath no more doubt sister mine. I hath none." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-05-10 12:08 am UTC (link)
	Svalin released him and gave him a small smile. "Thou wert born to be mine brother whom I love dearly. That ist purpose enow for me. How canst I fail with the Bear of Asgard on mine side?" She kissed his cheek. "I love thee brother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-05-10 12:10 am UTC (link)
	"And I, thee. Now I wilt hear no more of thee failing. We hath established mine purpose. Thine ist to succeed, always. Now, food ist called for." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye. Soon mine appetite wilt outstrip thine," she joked. They started walking again. "The All-Father warned against telling many about mine son. Thou'rt the first I hath told, but I wouldst like to keep it within these walls." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mine tales of thee art of dragons, maidens and valiant command. What knowst I of children? Tis thy story to tell or not to whosoe'er thou wish'st. None wilt hear of't from me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-05-10 12:20 am UTC (link)
	Svalin laughed. "Nay there wert no maidens. I doth think that times art about to get interesting. It wilt not be long before the enemies of Asgard doth learn and art upon us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-05-10 12:28 am UTC (link)
	"Well of course they art maidens no longer." he teases. "And tis for the best, I prefer them where I canst see them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin shook her head. "I wilt be envious of thee when thou art fighting and I cannot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-05-10 04:26 am UTC (link)
	"Thou wilt be fighting again soon enow. If what thou sayst ist true, there wilt be more battles ahead for all of us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, but it ist hard only watching," she said as they entered the kitchen. "I art not used to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin nodded as she pulled out some bread, fruit and mead. She found a block of cheese as well. She placed the items on the table. "I knowest, but it wilt feel like eternity. It ist hard being inactive. It doth make me wonder how MomOne dealt with it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-05-10 05:03 am UTC (link)
	"Patience. Thine mother wast far, far older than thee when she had thee and thy fullblood sister. Though she hast oft complained of boredom during that time, twas still but a short time compared to the many centuries of war. And I hath ne'er heard her regret giving birth to either of thee."

	"That ist because thou returned to the Bear Sarks hall after that time we decided to go hunt a dragon." A pause. "And the time we went to battle a Frost Giant. Both mothers wert not happy." Svalin did smile at the memory though. "Though I think it wast more that we didn't invite her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-05-10 05:20 am UTC (link)
	He grumbles, but its in good humor. "Mayhap, or that we didst not find the dragon. E'en when she wast not along, she always cheered thy triumphs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-05-10 05:28 am UTC (link)
	"Aye, but she doth worry like any mother," Svalin said and broke the bread and offered him some first. "Now we hath to find thee a dragon to battle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
