Call to Duty (Odin, Halbjorn, Svalin)

Sigurdur Hogunson returned to the Golden City the moment the messenger found him. The All-Father demanded his presence immediately and Sigurdur's mind raced with the implications. He was not a wise man, and therefore did not know why the Lord of Asgard needed him. Questions arose in his mind during his ride to Odin's hall, but no answers presented themselves.

He hoped that he had not displeased his lord and master.

He arrived at the hall and was admitted without further word. No one spoke to him, but their glances asked the same question that stuck in Sigurdur's mind.

Why?

When he reached Odin's throne, Sigurdur stopped at a respectable distance and slammed his fist to his heart, taking a knee and kneeling before his liege.

"I, Sigurdur Hogunson, present myself to thee, my King. How may I serve Asgard this day?" he asks in greeting.

The Allfather was asking him to keep someone safe? Sigurdur was equal to the task and wondered how Hjordis, Skari and the others would take being assigned a bodyguard. After all, he couldn't imagine anyone else needing one. Those children were always into mischief.

He had to work not to smile at the looks upon their faces.

"Thou needs only tell me when and where, and my sword will be given to the defense of those in need, my liege." Sigurdur says, his gaze still directed at the floor.

Lady Svalin...in need of protection? The thought tried, and failed, to compute in Sigurdur's head several times. She was a fearsome warrior, and he'd heard tales that she'd had great adventures upon Midgard.

Was Odin testing him? He did not know, but he would follow his lord's command.

"Do I hath time to bid mine father and mother farewell? I do not wish to cause them worry or turmoil with a sudden departure. Both hath endured enough on account of the actions of mine brother." Sigurdur says quietly.

Hrothgar's betrayal had stung father deeply, though Hogun the Grim would never say so aloud. But Sigurdur knew. Since the first report of Hrothgar's treachery, Sigurdur had worked twice as hard to be a credit to his parents' names.

	"Aye, bid them farewell, but keep all but the fact thou'rt departing on a mission I hath for thee secret for the time. Thou wilt understand soon enow. Ready thyself, thine stay wilt be an extended one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, milord. It will be as you command." Sigurdur says. (Reply to this)(Parent)
