A Not So Quiet Day
It was a rare occasion when most of the Defenders were out of the compound and elsewhere. Today that happened as most were out shopping or doing other errands. Christmas and Yule were coming and some still had gifts left to purchase/make. Svalin had been done for days since she knew she wouldn't be here. She was taking advantage of the quiet to get some chores done. There were stalls to clean out, horses to groom, saddles to oil, weapons to sharpen and other chores.

Right now she was grooming Snowflake outside while he grazed.

One form is followed by two others, as they move and strike at Kael from every direction.

"You should have known you couldn't hide, mongrel."

And that's when it him Kael, his neck-scar seeming to itch in response. Kael snarled in anger and indignation. "Why can't you leave me be!?" Kael brings his sowrd up hard with a blow that actually sends one of the attackers stumbling back. The other two however come in faster.

"It doesn't end until you die, Olympian-son."

	"For Asgard!" Svalin yelled and charged into the room. She had the small element of surprise at their backs were to her. She slashed at the hamstring of the closest Dark Elf not Kael. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The dark elf hadn't expected an angry Asgardian, the building was supposed to be empty save the prince. Svalin's attack sends him down to his knees. An elvish word rings out as a portal opens in the room, with several more dark elves pouring out.

Kael blocks a blow from one while quickly bringing his other blade up to prevent another assassin from striking him. "I've done nothing to you," Kael said through gritted teeth.

"You were born," one of them said in disgust, hand moving for a spell.

	Svalin spun around and sliced the hand off at the wrist. Then she went for a slash to his hamstring. She was just a little mad about assassins in her home and attacking her friend. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The assassin went down screaming, but then another pair manifested from behind the couch, each with a glowing hand. Kael snarled, grabbed one of the downed assassins and launched him at the pair, who gasped in shock and they were bowled over by the flung body.

"Damnable abomination!" One leaped from behind Kael, latching onto his back, Kael brought his hand up in time to stop the blade, ironically just inches from Kael's prominent neck-scar.

"Abomination..." Kael's hand clasped harder onto the hand, cracking bone as the attacker began to scream in pain, dropping his dagger.

Another trio came up at Svalin while a fourth went to towards Kael.

	Three against one. It hardly seemed fair. For them. Svalin turned to face the three and smiled. "For Asgard!" she yelled and attacked. She brought Vigfrior around to deliver a strike at the first elf. The second one on her side got a side kick to his gut. The third was the only one untouched. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The third one seemed to realize just how bad this attempt was going. "We must retreat!" He muttered off an Elvish incantation, a new portal forming in the room.

Kael had dropped the assassin from his back. He saw red as several of the living assassins made their way to the gateway. "No..you don't get to walk away," he replied darkly. He ran up, grabbing one retreating dark elf from his tunic, viciously throwing him into the wall. One turned to confront Kael, who's nose was practically destroyed by a punch.

The final one turned to threaten him. "We'll return half-" and that's when Kael grabs him by the neck and slams him against the wall.

"I've done nothing to any of you! You call me an abomination!? I've give you the kind of monster you want! Is that want you want!?" Kael's grip prevented the assassin from replying.

	Svalin grabbed the third one before he could jump into the portal. A hand went around his throat and she started to squeeze. "Who hath sent thee?" she growled inches from his face. The one she kicked was starting to get back up. Svalin saw him out of the corner of her eye and slammed a boot into his face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kael stopped short of choking the assassin to death, dropping him to the floor. He turned his attention to Svalin's interrogation.

"Go to Hel, Aesir bitch," the dark elf gritted out. "Have no pride, mongrel? You hide amongst our ancient enemies? You count as an ally he granddaughter of the one who invaded our home? Destroyed our pride as a people? You deserve everything coming to you."

Kael was about ready to shut this man up.

	Svalin squeezed until the elf couldn't breathe anymore and held him there until he stopped moving. She tossed the corpse at the second one that had attacked her. "That ist a warning of what wilt happen to anyone who doth try to hurt anyone I care about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Your message..is clear, Thorsdottir," the assassin managed to say. No further words were spoken at the remnants of what was left of the party collected their dead and made their way through the portal. Kael remained eerily silent. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Kael, art thou injured?" Svalin asked. She didn't lower her sword, but waited to see if they were foolish enough to come back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I..I know it's why Mother sent me here, but..for a time..I actually thought I found some solace from this." He unconsciously rubbed the scar across his neck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They went to the kitchen and Svalin put water on for tea. She grabbed two mugs from a cabinet and then teabags from a jar. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
