You were acting like it was the end of the world
Eir Einmyriasdottir waited until the middle of the night and almost everyone was asleep or elsewhere. She crawled out of bed and quickly dressed. In multiple layers. The winds were bitter cold and the snow was piling up. It was a winter like she had never seen in her life. The last item she put on after her fur lined boots was a fur lined cloak.

She walked over to the door and opened it a crack. The hallway was silent and she didn't hear or see anyone. She opened the door wider and darted across the hall to her sister's room. The door opened silently and she slipped into the room making sure to close the door behind her.

"Astrid," she said as she gently shook her sister awake.

	"I agree. Best to make this as subtle as possible." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marlow shrugged. "I wasn't thinking of a parade, but invisible it is." Her spell was simple and powerful. It contained the heart of her magic talent channeled through the demon host, and flowed out and over. All that was needed was to join Aslief's magic for direction. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif brought forth her own magic, bending the threads of light to pass them by. So that they could see each other still, she wove the spell carefully and close. "Good," she said, watching the distraction for a moment. "When the moment is right... we move." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kael watches the Aesir do what Aesir do best, fight noisily. When things are particularly chaotic, he'll give a hand-signal. "Let's move." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marlow followed Kael and watched the fighting as they passed. A lightsaber with Martin's bolt spell would have been a lot of fun right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A few choice spells would have made the violence simple enough, but Asleif picked up her pace and hurried after Kael and Marlow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Have you ever been this way, Asleif?" Kael asked quietly. "Any direction at all would be helpful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2012-12-12 12:15 am UTC (link)
	"Aye," she said, "a few times, when I was younger." Fortunately, her memory for important things (ie, things which were directly important to her) was quite good. "The next right," she said. "And left at the end of that hall." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2012-12-12 05:05 pm UTC (link)
	Marlow remained watchful and ready to blast things. The godlings would be excellent cover if and when the time came. They were always the first target for the bad guys. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Two guards," Kael observed, keeping his swords sheathed. He stealthily makes his way across the hall, taking advantage of the invisibility spell. He removes a single gold coin from his pouch and tossed it at the wall. The guards turned toward the sound..and they'll be resting on the ground now after a good old-fashioned double headbutt.

	"That... is one way to use thine head," Asleif said, the smallest of smiles pulling the corners of her mouth upward. She pressed her hands to the door to the vault, then stepped back and nodded. "Warded. But not unpassable." She brought her hands up and began to weave a spell to break the wards. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2012-12-13 05:08 am UTC (link)
	While Asleif was busy with the wards, Marlow poured more magic into keeping their invisibility cover active. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-12-13 09:55 am UTC (link)
	Kael meanwhile stood guard against any more guards that may approach. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2012-12-14 12:25 am UTC (link)
	Asleif, though she would not admit it, was grateful for Marlow taking up the slack of the spell. She would need almost all she could muster for this. Not for nothing was this one of the most well-guarded places in Asgard. But not for nothing was she one of the most powerful sorceresses in the realm. She unleashed a powerful burst of magic to dispel the wards. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The air shimmered as the magic slammed into the wards that protected the door. The air seemed to turn hotter for a moment and then the wards were broke and a wave of force spread outward in all directions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2012-12-16 05:31 pm UTC (link)
	Marlow instantly dropped to the ground to make herself small and leashed herself down with a binding spell. She threw out to encompass the others in the hopes they wouldn't be swept away. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-12-16 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	Kael hadn't quite expected that. He tried to brace himself, though if not for Marlow's spell he likely would have been flung on his ass. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2012-12-16 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	Asleif would not, ever, admit to being surprised by anything. But she had not expected that reaction from the wards. It would have been fascinating to study, if it were not supremely aggravating to have to have been dependent upon Marlow's magic to preserve her dignity. When she was certain the wave of force was over, she gave the door a shove. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_misc 2012-12-16 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	The door opened effortlessly and without a sound. Beyond was the treasure room of Asgard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2012-12-17 02:32 am UTC (link)
	Once the wave was over enough, she reinforced their cover spell. To get this far and be seen now would be awful. She moved up behind Asleif to peer around the huge Asgardian at the treasure room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When the force receded, Kaeljoined the women at the entrance. "So..do we know what this object looks like?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2012-12-17 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye," Asleif said, looking around carefully. "But finding it in this mess..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2012-12-20 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Can you create a small illusion of it so we know what it looks like?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2013-01-04 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	Kael lets the women talk, warily keeping an eye out for any more guards. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2013-01-04 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye," Asleif said, causing one to float in the air. She looked around, pushing through childhood memories. "There," she said, crossing the room, lifting it from a small shelf. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
