Every Second of the Night I Live Another Life
Svalin moved quietly and cautiously through the skeletal trees. Soggy leaves barely moved under her feet and it helped silence her footsteps. Her sword was drawn and ready, but she couldn't see anything with this fog all around. Shadowy shapes moved through the fog, but they never drew close enough to see if they were friend or foe.

Svalin had charged after a few, but she never reached them.

Movement to the right caught her eye and she turned quickly. The dark shape lingered for a moment and retreated into the fog. Svalin gave chase. Her movements were slow and awkward due to the pregnancy and she couldn't move quick enough to catch the shadowy figures.

She growled in frustration and received an agreeing kick from the child inside of her.

The fog swirled and moved around her as watched for any shadows to appear.

	Vernique was walking down the hall, and suddenly heard something. "Svalin? Hon, you in there?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye," she managed to choke out between sobs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique came in and climbed on the bed to get her arm around her as much as possible. "It's okay. It's gonna be okay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin turned into the embrace and cried for a bit. "I doth...I won't...I can't kill him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You don't have to," she mutters. "Nobody's gonna make you. It's going to be okay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Svalin took a few deep breaths and tried to calm herself down. "Dreams art important, Vernique, and not to be dismissed so easily."

She wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand.

"Dreams canst be portents of what ist to come. E'ery night since our wedding I hath dreamed of naught but destruction and death at the hands of our son."

There was a deep sigh.

	"You're stressed. You're worried. So your subconscious is stuck on the bad options. Your grandad and a bunch of mystic experts can't figure out where the chips'll fall. It can't be as cut and dried as certain doom." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mayhap, but it ist easier to destroy than protect and the odds art not favorable," Svalin said. "Not when there may be other other gods working against us. I shouldst Lord Odin." Svalin sighed. "I doth not despair, but I doth hath doubts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-05-23 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, not despairing is good. And yeah, maybe you should talk to him about it, but there's the whole issue of how much time we should be spending Up There. And what business of the other gods' is Solver?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I doth think a quick trip to ask about mine dreams wouldst not hurt." Svalin shrugged. "I doth not know, but it may have to deal with Solver being a game changer. Mayhap they think Solver wilt give Asgard an advantage or they doth want to use him to destroy Asgard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"An advantage in what? Cross-pantheon track meets? Shotgun-wedding prevention?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mayhap an advantage when there ist conflict," she said. "There ist usually conflicts between the pantheons." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-05-24 12:15 am UTC (link)
	"Well, that's something the other pantheons can take and shove up their sacred....never mind." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin managed a small smile. "Aye. Later I wilt travel to Asgard to speak with the All-Father. Mayhap it ist naught, but he wilt know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nay," she said. "We both need sleep. Wilt thou stay here for the rest of the night? Thou canst wake me if there ist another nightmare." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-05-24 01:30 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. That sounds like plan." Vernique shrinks down just a little, the better to fit, but still big enough to provide a noticeable presence. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-05-24 01:34 am UTC (link)
	"Thank thee," Svalin said as she settled in. There was a lot on her mind, but her wife's presence helped calm it somewhat. "I doth appreciate it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-05-24 01:35 am UTC (link)
	"Anytime, Svalin." (Reply to this)(Parent)
