Flashback (Age four)
After the second broken chair of the morning their mother Einmyria had made all four kids go outside despite the rain. Four kids all the same age under the same roof for an extended length of time usually led to some furniture casualties. Svalin and Halbjorn had been rather active and had caused the furniture breakage, but all four were shuffled outside despite many protests of innocence from Asleif and Aridis.

Svalin crossed her arms over her chest and harrumphed. She and Hal were only practicing their dragon slaying. The chairs made excellent dragons until they splintered apart. MomOne was quite vexed and she was certain to tell MomTwo and Father. They were certain to be punished later.

"Mother wouldst not be so vexed if we wert to slay a real dragon," she grumbled.

	She walked up to one of the guards. "Our mother, the Lady Einmyria, doth want us to collect berries from the edge of the woods just beyond the gates. Prithee open the gates and allow us to pass." The guard regarded the two kids for a moment and then ordered the gates to be opened. "Thank thee," Svalin said and started walking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He take a few moments to process that, speaking once they're a ways away from the gate. "When didst she tell us that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It wast a trick to get the guards to open the gates. They wouldst hath not do it if I said we wert going to hunt dragons." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh." Huh, that didn't seem very princessy, or very warrior-like... but he's sure his sister is right. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Deception ist necessary at times," she told him. "E'en in battle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That still seemed an awful lot like lying, but his sister is smarter than he is, so he's positive there's a difference, and obviously an important one, so he moves on. "Which way to the dragons, dost thou think?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We'll start in the forest. If we doth not find any there, we wilt head toward the mountains." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, the forest soundeth good. Surely the wolves wouldst be happy to be rid of a dragon or two." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I doth not thinketh that this forest ist that of the wolves. To hear Volstagg and Father talk, that forest ist far away." Despite being children, the two were covering quite a bit of ground. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thou'rt likely right." She usually was. Geography was not his strong point. "We wilt need to travel deep into the woods though... surely there art no dragons so close to Asgard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-06-19 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye," she said. Her brow furled in thought. "We shouldst hath taken a horse." Next time she would plan better. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-06-19 08:27 pm UTC (link)
	He frowns. "Thou'rt a better rider. The horses don't like me." And he has no idea why, he's even tried being nice to them. "I a not tired, walking ist fine... we wilt find a dragon soon enow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It wouldst be quicker," she said. "Next time I wilt thinketh of these things. A good commander thinketh of all possibilities and prepares." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye!" Svalin said as she raised her "sword" in the air. "I wilt hath a mighty steed to ride into battle and thou wilt hath one as well. Together we wilt ride side by side into battle and slay the foes of Asgard!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And Dark Elves!" Svalin added. They kept walking. The trees of the forest were getting closer and closer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
