Oh, great,
Arngrim thought cynically after hearing the booming
announcement from the strange couple in front of the temple,
another War of the Gods. Not that I mind the challenge, but
isn't being chosen once to battle for them enough in a man's
lifetime?
He'd realised the moment he'd entered
the clearing that he was no longer on Midgard, for the
warriors assembled there bore clothing, weapons and armour
that for the most part was nothing like he'd seen before - and
he'd seen a lot of Midgard during his life as an adventurer.
He didn't know of any other worlds where humans
dwelled, but that didn't mean that none existed.
Then again, he mused, maybe this is Valhalla
after all - don't the tales say that the chosen warriors of
the Gods have the chance to become Gods themselves? They said
the Creator was watching over us - would that not be
All-Father Odin? Maybe this challenge is where I prove myself
worthy of becoming one of them.
After the two
strangers - c'mon, everyone here is a stranger - had
vanished into the ether, the fighters and others had broken
into groups, some standing their ground until they had a
better idea of what was happening, some breaking off into the
jungle, some even fighting amongst themselves. Looking around,
Arngrim quickly spotted one of the men who he'd met up with on
the way to this clearing - a knight with a bearing like those
of Crell Monferaigne, but who seemed much deeper that most of
those self-righteous fools. 'Bearwolf', or something like
that. I'll make sure I get his name the next time we
speak. Waving him over, he tried to look for the other but
could see nothing of the strange man of metal who was with the
knight when he met them.
One step at a time. We'll
find the metal man soon enough and work together as a team to
defeat our enemies, I don't need to think about what'll happen
afterwards just yet. One step at a time...

OOC: Sorry, I suck at dialogue which is
why there's none in this bit. Once Baka gets online I'll try
practicing some stuff since I don't know how his character
would speak.
