[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 4685609, member: 2012"] [B]The Counsel of the Sky Traveler[/B] Lokun sat in silence on his throne in Winter’s Hall. He didn’t know what he was going to do. If it was true, it would change everything. It had to be a mistake. She wouldn’t betray him like that or would she? Lokun sometimes wished he’d never come to Harqual to petition Cronn to let him join the North Gods. Several frost giant females moved around the room clearing away the previous night’s revelry. They made sure to give the North God of Mischief and Fire a wide berth. He moods had become more and more unpredictable. Now, more than ever. Lokun had a good reason but he wasn’t about to share it with his mortal followers. He stood up and then stepped down from the ornate throne he had conjured to try and improve his mood. With a thought he sent the throne to nonexistence. “It cannot be true,” Lokun walked out of Winter’s Hall into the frigid wind of Hougard, his island realm in the North Sea. The island stood out from the rest of the frozen wastes north of Harqual due to its divine nature. No mortal could set foot on Hougard unless The Sky Traveler willed it. “Lokun, I must speak with you.” Jaeger wasn’t a mortal, however. “What do you want, Jaeger?” Lokun would never admit he liked Cronn’s favorite godson. “Can’t you see I’m busy.” “Uh, you’ve been walking around your realm mumbling to yourself like a mad mortal for cycles. What is bothering you so much?” “Nothing I care to share with you, boy.” If Lokun had a gut, it would have been tied in knots. How could he ever tell any of them? “Now, what did you want to ask me? And make it quick.” “Do you remember when I was young when you told me the story about the Halls?” The God of Honor hoped he was right. “Are you telling me that you came all the way to Hougard too reminisce about old wise tales? Do not waste my time, Jaeger.” Lokun shook his head in disgust. “Were they true?” Jaeger persisted. “Do the Halls really exist?” “Why do want to know?” Lokun stared with concern for his adopted nephew. “Just tell me.” “Yes, the Halls are real.” Lokun hoped Jaeger wasn’t planning anything, stupid. “How do I find them?” Jaeger knew the risk he was planning to take wouldn’t sit well with the others. He just had to hope that Lokun wouldn’t try to stop him. “You’re not actually thinking of trying to enter the Halls are you? What possible reason-” Lokun stopped s it came to him. “You’re nuts if you think I’m going to let you go there alone to see him.” “I know you won’t enter the Halls. It is forbidden for the Asgard.” Jaeger had to try and convince Lokun. “I know what I’m doing, Lokun. I just need you to tell me how to find it, how to get in, and how to not get obliterated.” “It’s crazy! What are you up to?” Lokun was suspicious by nature and could not help himself. “Nothing I care to share with you, Lokun.” Jaeger hated to leave his uncle in the dark. “The God of Honor with secrets. That is something I would have never have believed.” There was more Jaeger than the Sky Traveler had given the boy credit for. “Very well, walk with me and I’ll tell you everything you need ti know about the Halls. Just don’t expect me to come and rescue you if you get caught.” “Agreed.” Jaeger walked beside his uncle. “And you won’t tell my father a thing. Agreed?” “It’s your funeral.” Lokun wondered what the God of Honor was hiding. They strode through the snow of Hougard, the icy northern winds blowing around them. The two gods walked and talked in comfort, however, as such mortal conditions did not cling to their divine garments or damage their godly forms. [/QUOTE]
