Algrim (open to Hal)
The approach of Algrim was known well in advance. Svalin wasn't going to take chances and be surprised again. She had sentries posted outside the city and they would provide early warning to a new threat. A new threat was approaching the city and word had reached Svalin. Thankfully there was a little time before Algrim reached the city.

Svalin knew she couldn't defeat Algrim. Her father had told her tales of his fights with the being and knew how powerful Algrim was. Thor could face him, but he was still unconscious and her brother was off fighting the Hulk somewhere. If only Hal were here Svalin would have some hope. Some Goddess of Hope she was. Who had ever heard of a Goddess of Hope having none herself?

Thinking about Hal led her mind down a path to a possible solution.

She handed the throne of Asgard to Aridis despite many objections of her mothers and Balder. Svalin had to leave to save the realm. She jumped on Tryggvi and flew off to find her brother.

He loves his sister. He trusts her planning and tactical skills - but most horses can barely carry him at all. A pegasi carrying him and his sister isn't going to escape the Hulk - and he figures she'll realize that later.

Besides, exhausted as he is, he can run.

He flings a couple tons of rock at the Hulk to draw his attention again, then runs, trusting Svalin to handle her part of her plan, and just trying to get to the rendezvous spot.

	It didn't take too long for Svalin to reach Algrim. She steered Tryggvi toward him and when they were close enough she took a swing with her staff. It connected with Algrim and got his attention. He charged and Tryggvi started back toward Hal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hal has taken a few more hits, mostly exchanges of multi-ton missiles back and forth, but he managed to keep going. He can see his sister up ahead, and moves for her - not to get on the horse. He's already noted the difficulty there, but he's at least looking for somewhere he can duck out of the way if he can briefly get out of the Hulk's line of sight. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thankfully Algrim wasn't able to cover ground like the Hulk, so Svalin was able to keep well ahead of him. She saw her brother coming at them and she urged Tryggvi onward. As soon as she was close enough she reached down to grab him to pull him up. She didn't want him getting caught between the Hulk and Algrim. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Halbjorn sees his sister coming and waves her away as best he can. Trygvi isn't going to be able to evacuate with the Hulk still focused on him carrying two. Nothing against the Valkyrie's steeds - they're the best Asgard has, but its not meant to carry two, especially when one is Halbjorn's size.

Instead, he slams his hands downward, cratering the earth to drop himself out of sight. With Algrim and the Hulk both looking for a fight, he figures they're more likely to end up seeing each other rather than searching for him - and he can find Svalin again... if he's right.

	Her brother was going to hear about this. After. Tryggvi swerved out of the way and the Hulk and Algrim collided. The impact was as loud as a clap of thunder. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He has no doubt he'll hear about it later. But he's also quite sure they'd never have made it - he normally can't ride at all. As soon as he hears the crashing get some distance away, he crawls free and towards cover. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin circled around Algrim and the Hulk looking for her brother. When she spotted him she put Tryggvi into a dive. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's easy enough to find from above, and limping steadily away from the fight. "There ist more to thy mission?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye," she said and reached a hand out to him. "Get thee back to Asgard alive." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Halbjorn, thou wilt come with me," she ordered. Svalin offered a hand again. "Now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, m'lady." he agrees, now that they're out of imminent danger. "But allow me to walk when we canst. Trygvi ist a'ready straining." Its been a long day for everyone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nay," Svalin said as she jumped off of her horse. "Thou wilt ride in thy condition. I wilt run back." (Reply to this)(Parent)
