Demons To The Left of Me, Undead to the Right, Here I Am Stuck In the Middle With You
The sun was starting to sink on the Western horizon and into the Pacific Ocean as another day was ending. A few miles south of 1800 Palos Verdes Drive the ground erupted in a spray of dirt. One by one soldiers came forth from the ground. Some were Spartans, some were Roman legionnaires, and some were Norsemen. A total of three thousand eventually stood in the dying light. They moved into formation and started marching.

	That gets a bloody grin. "Ver' well, thou hast a deal. But if I keep mine end and survive, thou must needs attend the victory celebration. No sneaking off to practice further. And no nursing thy mead. Almost a pity, their leader wast a mighty warrior." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thou hast a deal, brother." Svalin nodded and bit back the pain of her own wounds. "Later I wilt drink mead with thee and sing of this battle. He wast a mighty warrior. Skurge wast one of the mightiest in Asgard at one point. If thou wouldst hath listened to mine mother tell tales thou wouldst hath known of him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wast that who that wast, truth? E'en I wouldst know him, wert mine mind clear at the time. I remember only seeing the greatest of many threats. Now tis truly a shame... but truly, I canst not die this day, for I wouldst miss seeing Svalin Sifsdottir singing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, that wast Skurge. Methinks Hela hath a hand in this. Skurge wast in her domain and she doth not give up souls so easy." Svalin laughed. "A cow doth sound better than mine singing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mayhap, but not all of our foes wert Northmen. Tis most odd. But a great victory regardless, and e'en if thou'rt the worst singer in the nine worlds, twill still be well worth it. None wilt care deep enough in their cups, and thou'rt ne'er at the celebrations." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tending to Wounds (Battle aftermath) shield_maiden 2009-09-23 08:43 am UTC (link)
	"Aye. Not all wert Northmen. Mayhap Lady Sydney can help in identifying the others. Wouldst give us some clue to who else ist behind this." Svalin didn't comment on the singing. She probably was the worst singer in the Nine Worlds outside of Hogun. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There art swords and arrows enow to try and identify them. Methinks she couldst collect a few of them from me." he replies, seeming to find the black humor amusing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, there art enow in thee. I wilt remove them when Asleif ist near to heal the wounds." Svalin did not enjoy the black humor, but she was not going to get upset right now. "Methinks Father would hath enjoyed a battle such as this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, he wilt be most upset he missed it. And Mjolnir wouldst hath been most useful... but tis all the greater victory for his lack. Today belongs to the daughters and son of Thor. The children art all safe?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye the day doth belong to us. They art safe. Ohu and Griffen got them out on the jet." She could feel the impact of her own blood loss, but she would be fine until their sister arrived. There would be no more fighting for the both of them today. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good, then all ist well. Dost thou see aught left of the demons? Mayhap we shouldst go help them." he replies, amusedly. "Lest our sisters claim the demons a greater victory." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nay, I didst not. They art on the other side and the building ist in the way." She shook her head. "Nay, brother. Neither of us ist in shape to fight more this day. Aye, they wilt try to claim the greater victory." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tending to Wounds (Battle aftermath) stone_bear 2009-09-23 09:34 am UTC (link)
	He grins, "But twas such fun. Surely there ist a demon or two they left for us." Yeah, his sister is too serious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Really now," Asleif said, appearing soundlessly and quite out of the blue. "We art more than capable of getting along without thee, brother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tending to Wounds (Battle aftermath) shield_maiden 2009-09-24 01:37 am UTC (link)
	"He ist gravely wounded, sister. He need thine skills," Svalin said as she continued to hold the cloth on Halbjorn's stomach wound. "He hath lost a lot of blood." Her concern at the moment is for her brother. Her wounds could wait until Halbjorn's wounds were seen to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tending to Wounds (Battle aftermath) stone_bear 2009-09-24 01:51 am UTC (link)
	Despite the injuries, Halbjorn remains in good spirits, anyway. "Svalin seemst not to share thy optimism, sister. She ist most insistent I live through the day. She hast e'en agreed to drink and sing at the victory celebration." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tending to Wounds (Battle aftermath) godlierthanthou 2009-09-24 01:56 am UTC (link)
	It's not something most people would notice, but the briefest flicker of something crossed Asleif's face when she realized just how injured Halbjorn was. "Remindest me to invest in ear protect e'er that happens," she said, before beginning to get to work. She waved her hands and produced a onyx-colored goblet of steaming liquid. "Drink of this, brother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tending to Wounds (Battle aftermath) shield_maiden 2009-09-24 02:03 am UTC (link)
	"I didst try to warn him," Svalin said as she lifted her brother up a bit so he could drink without spilling. "How fares Aridis? How fares the others?" Svalin was concerned about the others, especially her twin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tending to Wounds (Battle aftermath) stone_bear 2009-09-24 02:04 am UTC (link)
	He nods, reaching up with his one good arm, once Svalin props him up on some of the wreckage from the battle. "On the morrow. Tis no good to let a battle go too long cold before drinking to it." he replies, sipping from the goblet. "As e'er, thy brewing reminds why thou became as sorceress instead of a housewitch like our mother. Thy culinary skills lack." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tending to Wounds (Battle aftermath) godlierthanthou 2009-09-24 02:08 am UTC (link)
	"Ah, if only thine wit were as sharp as thine blade," Asleif told her brother. "T'will serve." She was already weaving smaller spells, working with the potion to boost his healing. "Our sister and the mortal doth fare well enough," she said simply. "T'was a taxing battle on us all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tending to Wounds (Battle aftermath) shield_maiden 2009-09-24 02:17 am UTC (link)
	"Tis good to hear. The day truly belongs to us." While Asleif saw to Halbjorn, Svalin started to see to her wounds while she sat there. She removed her top, but was still covered by a strip of cloth around her chest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tending to Wounds (Battle aftermath) stone_bear 2009-09-24 09:16 am UTC (link)
	Halbjorn has been swimming with Svalin enough times, his half naked sister isn't a big deal. He focuses mainly on Aslief. "Taxing, mayhap, but a great day indeed. Tis good to hear thou all fare well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Asleif's face briefly betrayed just how exhausted she was. Her own actual injuries were minor, the benefits of being primarily a long-ranged fighter, but she had tapped deep into her personal stores to fuel her spells.

"Aye. All will recover, given time."

Her cursed thoughts betrayed her and worked their way to her lips. "The mortals? How fared they?" And the small mortal...?
