One of a Kind
The Collector was always searching for unique and unusual items to add to his personal collection. He had numerous worlds filled with items he had collected over the eons. His attention had wandered away from Earth for awhile, but that changed. Now something unique caught his eye and he was determined to add it to his collection.

He landed on the front porch of the Defenders' compound. He blasted the door into oblivion and walked into the building.

	With Vernique safely in hand, Kael goes past the group to check the rest of the compound, searching room by room for any hint of what may have happened. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique shook a little in Hal's arms. "Bastard got Brandr first... couldn't get Solver away fast enough...Was one of those Elder of the Universe types...oh god, Svalin..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Halbjorn is familiar with the Elders through father's stories, mostly of his dealings with the Champion and the Possessor - but he knows there's more of them. And now, he's going quickly from concerned to angry. "Then mayhap we shalt see how deep their immortality truly goeth." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"By Odin's beard," Svalin swore. She took her wife's hand and gave it a squeeze. "Worry not, milady. We wilt find Solver and return him to thee." The "Or die trying" didn't need to be said. Svalin hoped she sounded confident. Worry sank into her when Vernique mentioned an Elder of the Universe.

"Asleif! Start finding mine son," Svalin growled. "Defenders, prepare for a journey into space."

	Brandr had managed to half stagger and half drag himself from where he'd first fallen, trying to follow the intruder, but had lost consciousness at the side door leading outside. The trail of blood from the room full of destruction where the initial confrontation had been made him easy enough to find. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The skald remaind silent, quickly picking up the trail of blood after seeing that Vernique was alive, the blood making finding Brandr...convienantly easy, quickly kneeling down when she found his prone form, "Be still warrior.....thy friends are at hand." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kael goes to the wounded Brandyr, quickly beginning some battlefield patchwork to stabilize him until he could be seen by the Defenders' doctor. Kael had heard of the Elders of the Universe and knew they were in for a fierce battle. However, he did not let this trouble him. He had failed to help Solver once when malekith took him, he wouldn't again.

"How do we find this Elder?"

	"Asleif wilt find Solver and where Solver ist, this Elder wilt be," Svalin said. "Please bring Brandr to me." She wanted to heal some of his injuries, but she didn't want to leave her wife. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Asleif went to work, weaving her spells. As the Goddess of Secrets and Deception, she had been putting more and more of her efforts into spells for diving the truth and revealing that which was hidden, along with her illusions and transfiguration magics, on top of her already impressive array of spells.

"Reveal yourself to me... Show me where mine nephew hast been hidden... Let that which is not known, become known to mine eyes..."

	"Doth thou need a hand," Aridis asks Kael. She wanted to help carry Brandyr to her sister should Kael not be able to do so. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2013-04-24 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	Halbjorn is in no place to help with the injured. Now that he knows, somewhat, who is responsible for this insult, he's pacing like a caged animal, waiting for his sister to come up with something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2013-04-25 03:23 pm UTC (link)
	Marlow waited for answers to come, knowing that if she stayed quiet they would continue to talk freely. Then there would be something to do to get Solver back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kael easily picks up Brandr, not worrying about the man's dignity. "Thank you Asleif, but it's no trouble." Kael carries Brandr over to Svalin. "Do we know anything of what this Collector is capable of? I have read of the Elders of the Universe, they are mighty beings. It would perhaps be best to retrieve Solver and leave quickly. Better to seek retribution when the prince is safe."

	As soon as Brandr was close enough Svalin put her real hand on him and prayed to Odin that her healing magic would work. It wasn't always reliable. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dashingly 2013-04-25 05:15 pm UTC (link)
	Brandr's left side and arm are a bloody mess from the close range blasts that left flesh seared and bloody. The same for his back. There are other injuries from being backhanded into the wall a few times but it's the blasts that have done the most damage. Regardless of how well it works, some healing magic is better than none, and clearly needed in this case. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Obviously, getting Solver back is all that matters," Vernique says quietly. "But that doesn't mean there isn't going to be a fight. He's probably not going to leave him where he can be snuck out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif honed her spell further, opening a rippling viewing window in the air. "I think... I may have something..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Canst thou find him?" Svalin asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Canst I find him?" Asleif asked. She would have laughed, had not the situation been so serious, but she was smug all the same. "Of course I can." She held up a hand and a sphere of light appeared within it. "'tis too far to transport through magics... But this shalt lead us there, if we can make our way through space."

	"The Quinjet ist likely the best option. I doth not favor the idea of waiting," Aridis adds. Time isn't on their side as far as she is concerned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She somberly stood by her companions, no wisdom to offer. She knew well the stories of the Elders of the Universe. "This is a most perilous quest..we must make haste." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
