Enters now | A goddess dread
She who was | Counted not amongst
Those who knew | The fate to come
Enters now | Hel

She of those here | Knows the laws
The rules | The customs
The ways to seek | Marriage
For those | Of Norse blood

She looks down at him and tilts her head.

Irony. Loki's daughter sending a Hero to find the way to win a Valkyrie.

"That may be the beginning of your quest. Where there are dreams, there are ways."

Dreams

He glances out the back door, then back to Hel's face.

"And I am supposed to find a sword. Just like that? Any sword?"

Where there are dreams, there are nightmares.

"Of course not."

She says, and sets a hand on his head in brief blessing,

"You need to find your sword."

He is grateful for that small touch. It calms him somewhat.

"My sword."

A soft sigh.

"Helgi's sword? At least it isn't something difficult."

"Good luck."

And she turns him to give him a gentle, but firm, push toward the door.

At least she didn't hit him?

He turns, scanning the bar for a familliar blonde head before turning back to Hel.

"Will you tell her?"

He pushes down the panic rising in the back of his throat. No time to get overwhelmed now. It will be fine. Just don't think of the stories Svava told about the quest to find the Landlord.

"Thank you, Hel."

"I shall."

She nods, and turns to look for Svava.

And Archie turns and steps out the door (http://prone-to-panic.livejournal.com/8237.html).
