Sleep

[Varalf]

(Varalf comes outside, and sees a nice spot where he is mostly hidden from view. He leans against the tree and lies his staff down within reach.)

Varalf:Heimdall, ya sprashivayu vashu zaschitu etoj noch''u

(With that said, he goes to sleep)

[Varalf]

** This dream is entirely in Russian, it is printed in English to make reading it easier **


[Varalf sees himself standing on a cliff, from his childhood. He hears a horn, his fathers horn. "What?" he turns and after seeing smoke on the horizon, runs back into his small village. "Father, what happened!?" he sees his home on fire, then he notices two Soviet soldiers shaking his father, and his mother. "Hey, what are you doing?" Varalf screams. "These people are enemies of the State. They were caught signaling an American Submarine. " One of the soldiers replies With that he turns, and shoots Varalf's mother in the heart, then Varalf's father in the center of the chest. "NOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Screams Varalf as he falls to his knees. "Silence," the second soldier turns "or would you like to join them?" he asks. Varalf just sits there, stunned. Finally, after the soldiers have turned back to the dying bodies before them, Varalf rises and quietly says "Thor, grant me strength." He slowly draws his short-sword, named Svartbrand or Black Blade for it's unique matte black finish, and then strikes while saying the words "You have murdered my family, destroyed my home, now feel my wrath" he kills the two soldiers then rushes to his father's side. "Dad, can you feel anything?" His father replies, "do not concern yourself with me, I go to join your mother in Valhalla. Here, take this" at which point he hands his horn to Varalf. "I have seen how quickly you heal, I know of this 'mutant gene' they speak of in America, got there now, find those that need help, and use your abilities to help them. I know you will do well." As his father dies Varalf responds "Yes father, I will try." He then turns quickly at the sound of a jet roaring overhead]



(Varalf wakes up from his dream)

Varalf: I will try Father

(He sees the X-jet move overhead)

Varalf: But first let me see what I can do to help this new home of mine

(with that he rises and heads back inside the Mansion)

[avriletta]

(Varalf arrives at the mansion to see avriletta hoist open a first story window and fly up a storry to her window which she had attached a rather large pertch to. she seemed to be breathing hard for such a short flite. then he saw it - her skin had grown darker, like a humans, and her hair was light and missing the white, green, and purple bangs he had grow accustomed to seeing on her.
she began to fall and he saw her face; it was missing the stripes of green and blue, and her "eye make-up"-it was gone too.)

[avriletta]

(once avriletta was about half way down her wings detached themselves and spontaniously combusted, varalf ran forward and caught her as if she were nothing and carried her inside.)

[Varalf]

(Varalf walks outside, holding his staff in his left hand, and his chest with his right. He sits down and leans back against a tree to rest and groans a little. He decides to just try ands get some rest so that his rib may heal.)

[Varalf]

(After a needed nights rest, Varalf rouses himself and rises to rejoin his friends.)
