Starting the Process

Rika pushed her back and took off running laughing.



Loki chuckled and waved a hand making the supplies turn up. "Follow the compass and go east."

Aesa chased after Rika. "Get back here!"



He looked at him. "This better not be a trick." He warned.

"You can't catch me!" She said running and laughing.



"It isn't." Loki stated before he disappeared.

Aesa ran faster, using her long limbs as an advantage. "You think that."



He looked at his friend. "You believe that his will lead to the girls?"

Rika groaned. "Evil!"



"I do. Thor always disliked them being in love."

She slowed down some, enough to catch her sister by surprise and trip her. She laughed. "Love you too."




He nodded. "Lets get packed. The sooner we leave, the faster we can get to them."

Rika laughed and rolled before jumping back up. "Why must you be mean?"


Gradar nodded and started to pack up his stuff.

"Because its fun to annoy you."



Einar did the same, his mind on Rika. He missed her more than he would ever say.

Rika sighed as she noticed the men stretching. She groaned.


Once everything was packed on the ship they made Gardar slowly steered the ship to go East.

Aesa looked at her. "What's wrong?"



Einar looked at him. "Just keep it steady. Don't want to cause any more troubles on this already disastrous voyage. "

"They are starting to get ready."



"I know. No reason for Thor to come after us."

"You think if I sneak away now, father will notice?"




"I never understood the man. He should have known putting them on earth would effect their human side."

"Probably but let's take the chance."



"I guess."

She nodded and took Rika by the arm and pulled her away.



Einar looked at the compose and sighed.

Rika walked with her hoping to not get spotted. She hated that the process was starting and a small part of her prayed to Odin that she would see Einar again.



"We will see them again."

Aesa looked at her sister and could tell what she was feeling. It hurt her too knowing what was happening and there wasn't much either could do to stop it.




"I know, I just don't want to see them again...and they are married."

"Let's go hunt."




"They won't be."

"Fine, as long as you don't shoot me with that arrow like last time." She mumbled. She had been messing with Rika and her sister thought it would be fund to shoot an arrow at her. Well lets just say she didn't miss.




"How can you be so sure? We have been gone a long time."

"Then don't attempt to scare away my game." She said as she went to the house she lived in with her sister and father going into her room she started to change into something better to hunt in.



"Because I know what lies in Aesa's heart."

Aesa went into her own room, and to her wardrobe. She dug though her unorganized clothes to find something to wear.





"I do with Rika, but you know how they are when it comes to their fathers. They would do anything for them, not matter how much it hurt."

Rika stepped out in leather pants and top before slipping on her boots and cloak then putting a few knives tucked into her boots. She grabbed her bow and arrows.



"They'll stall."

Aesa slid on a top, that had been tore in certain places and shoe thigh high shorts. She placed her daggers in the slots on each side of her shorts. She then put on her boots. After she went to the mirror and put her hair into one long braid.

Rika braided her own hair before walking out whistling for Gimli.

Aesa stepped out her room and made her way to the back door.

Rika looked back at Aesa. "Biggest game gets choice meats?" They usually bet things such as best cuts of meat and best sweets along with a few other things.
