Amora frowned remembering how harsh a parting Owle had had with more then one of his children. She nodded but added, "Ill call Gwindor. He will come without father, he isnt as needed in Alfhiem as uncle is. If guards are tampered with theres only a few we can trust with this. " She pulled back a bit more and pressed a hand to her sisters cheek. "We will help of course, in any way we can. You will come up, meet my sons, we will call on Thor and figure it all out. This isnt a fight you will handle alone," Amora assured her sister moving to pull her around the waist inside, thoughtful of all that would need to be done in the wake of her sisters arrival, including a culling of the guards.
Ylva wrapped her arms around her sister hugging her as if her life depended on it. She didn't pull away first and when her sister spoke of the blood she shook her head. "It is my husband's. We fought many of them off as we could. But he was taken and I was told if I didn't bring them what they want they would indeed kill him." her words where filled with tears and she shook her head once again. "I haven't spoken to father since that day he kicked me out. Odin it would seem is harder to get in contact with than you my dear sister." she smiled at Amora but it faded with concern of her husband. "I need you and your husband. Do you think you both could help me?" she asked wondering if she would seeing as she hasn't seen her in many many years.
Amora was shocked to see the man take off in the puff of smoke. Their guard had been infiltrated before, the last time those being the ones who killed Nik. Her sisters words brought her back to the present and she laughed shaking her head before rushing forward and hugging her sister caked in mud and blood and all. "As if i care for some dress," she said before she shook her head. "Is this blood yours?" she asked as she pulled back from the embrace. "Ill call Amma, we can have you looked over. Have word sent for Father and Odin." Ylva might have no clue about their mother and she wasnt sure that was something to spring when she was having something so much tumultuousness going on for her.
Ylva felt the man being yanked off of her and she looked up at him gasping for air as the guard laughed and disappeared in a thick black smoke. Ylva rubbed her neck clearing her throat as she moved to stand up not taking the hand her sister's guard offered her. "They..." she paused to rub her throat once more. "Are after me. They think I have the item." she cleared her throat. "But I am not so stupid or simple minded." she spoke her eyes looking up to her sister with a small smile before she shook her head. "I would love to hug you but I would soil that pretty gown you are wearing." she laughed a watery one.
Amora flashed her first smile and shook her head. "A dream might be easier to believe but my own tend to run along the lines of nightmares so this is much better as a reality," she told her sister glad now her guards had caught on and werent crowding her. It was alot to process and even more to get through knowing she had been attacked for something Odin had given her.
Amora had plenty of issues with Odin and Owle, and most of that because they were the kings of half truths though her father was by no means royal. She had been about to ask her sister to come inside with her to talk in private, but one of the soldiers behind her went into an attack that had Amora rushing forward to hep though she had zero skill to do so. Ubbi yanked her back around the middle though she kicked to be let go and Otto sprang forward to Take Amoras place in defending her sister as it was clearly the queens intent.
Ylva smiled when she heard her sister spoke but the look of Amora had changed since she was a young teenager since the last time she saw her. Of course it was her eyes that stayed the same and she cleared her throat. "Well if it would make you feel better I would say it is a dream." she looked toward one of the guards who seemed to step in front of Amora again. "I am here in the flesh dear sister and I have come to ask of a favor." she spoke her eyes welling up once more and she looked down at her tattered leathers and mud caked skin.
"My husband was taken our home attacked by faceless men. They where looking for something Odin entrusted us with." she looked around not wishing to speak of it out loud in front of so many." The guard who was knocked on his backside lunged for her and Ylva to busy looking towards her sister to notice. The guards hands moved around her neck choking her and she struggled for her knife as they where knocked over.
Amora heard the womans commotion and snorted looking over at Ubbi, "Well i can see why they were so hard put on, if shes been knocking them around with ease." Ubbi didnt share her chuckle and he kept stone faced as they stepped out onto the pathway that would mean they were out from under the shadows.
The first thought she had it wasnt possible, and after that was that she was clearly seeing things. It was a face she hadnt seen in ages, and while she looked different she also looked just the same. She stepped forward again this time swatting her guards as they tried flanking her again. "Ylva? Tell me im seeing things..." she trailed off not taking any further steps forward from the spot she stood.
When Ylva was told she would meet with the Queen in the gardens she wanted to laugh but she held it in and seethed her sword and followed the men who lead her to the place she would see her sister. The gardens where beautiful to say the least all still in full bloom in the fall it had been ages since she saw anything other then thorns and dried up trees.
One of the guards lightly shoved her and she shoved him back hard enough for him to land on his backside. "Don't you dare put your hands on me you twit." she growled and her eyes looked up when she heard the light footsteps on the stone behind her. She turned to look at her two guards both looked like they didn't want to have the Queen of Asgard near someone who looked dirty and had a surely attitude.
Amora had been trying to adjust to have help with the babies, she hated it but it was needed. Still she hovered and it would likely be a long time before she was ok with leaving them alone completely. Still she had little choice but coming when she was informed some crazed woman was at the gates demanding to see her. Ubbi and Otto led her out and has her guards they took point on either side of her ready to attack should it prove necessary. "I cant tell you who it is if they didnt think to ask for her name," she reminded when Otto sighed not liking the fact she had come down with them.
Another guard opened the door into a long stone hall, open on either side through empty stone windows. They showed off the garden and she had directed the visitor be shown there so if it was some sort of trap then she wasnt walking out into the open, a compromise with her guards.
Lady Ylva had called upon the gatekeeper of Asgard to be transported to Asgard through the biofrost. Ylva was covered in mud and blood of her husband. He leathers torn hair filled with leaves and sticks. Once she was taken in the bright light she stumbled dizzy looking to the large gate keeper nodding to him and marching towards the castle. Her hand gripped her sword tightly her breathing she was trying to keep even as tears threatened to spill but she wouldn't let them.
It took her some time without a horse to get to the gates of the castle and the guards surrounded her as if she was here to kill the royal family. She growled out in frustration. "I need to speak with the Queen." she told them trying to push past them but they wouldn't listen she drew her sword and she stood in the center of the guards armed at the ready. 'Move now or regret it." she told them coolly. Meanwhile few of the guards went to get Amora.
