( hnitbjorg king ) ( 14 ) ( stallion ) ( tags: his herd, the kings) ( location: idavoll )
- Every time he had ever interacted with another king it had been full of tension and hitched breaths. Even now with the two before him Bjorn would be a fool to think one or the other wouldn't make it clear that they were by no means friends. The tallest, Titan, had the audacity to say as such and Bjorn knew better than to snap back. With the weather dangerous and his company even more so, it was better to stay as calm and reasonable as possible. Instead of reminding him that Bjorn held future possible mares for Titan and it would be better to share guardianship, he swallowed the thought and bobbed his head agreeably. Titan was only being fair in his terms, he was prioritizing the safety of his immediate family and not future investments.
"These terms will work for us all. I do hope they are stood by, the last thing I need is blood shed in the forests I raise my foals," Bjorn said to them both, hoping they would relate to the importance of having a safe space for their young. Usually if any of the three fought, they did so in Idavoll and not in their own territories. Bjorn believed each of the three lands sacred and the gods would punish them greatly if they were to disrespect the areas. The only one who might betray the unspoken rules of the lands was Phantom. It bothered Bjorn that one of his daughters was with the maverick stallion. Did he not worry that Thor was targeting him, or did he simply not care for his fate. He hoped that his daughter would teach her children of the gods instead of take Phantom's stance on things and disregard them completely.
As the bay stallion began to depart, Bjorn was roused back tot he present and he nodded. "Yes, gather them. Notify me when you're ready to move and we will leave. I want no outside horse following, valkyrie or earl. They will only cause violence." That said he dismissed himself to retreat back to the company of Gull and Echo. His pace almost quickened in the relief to be reunited with them. Antisocial by nature he lost comfort near the other stallions and instead preferred to be close to those under his protection. He could see that Gull's wide eyes had been watching with intent and he nicked her shoulder with his teeth gently. "I have invited the snakes into our den, I only hope Thor approves and safeguards us. Should they attack, I know our own land better though I hope it doesn't come to that," he informed her, knowing she would not like to be ignorant.
Time to move out. Looking over he spotted a few mares without a herd and even spotted an earl whom had been lingering. He wondered where they would find safety. Bjorn felt he had already been generous in having allowed the other herds in but he could not afford to allow valkyries in. They would stir up the kings and fights would break out in such close proximity. They would have to fend for themselves this storm. "Gull, lead the way home. I'll flank you to make sure all is okay."

( alfheim descendant ) ( 3 ) ( mare ) ( tags: thera, titan ) ( location: idavoll )
- Now that she was coming of age, Heidi was becoming more curious and more rebellious. In Idavoll there were so many others to explore and smell. She had been independent from the day she was born and for three years her yearn to move and run had only grown. Today was supposed to be the day that she went off on her own but the air had changed and Heidi could see now that she would not yet find her own herd. Prancing around energetically, Heidi forgot the lessons on preserving her strength in the case that something went wrong. No, how could she stand still when she was so full of anticipation and life. Around her she nickered loudly, tossing her head and showing off the beauty her parents had given her. If Titan was not so distracted he would surely warn her of how the gods treated maidens with vanity. A lightning bolt to the rump.
Speaking of her father, Heidi did so wonder what he was interested in. Looking over she pranced to his side and took notice of the two others kings. The sight of them alone would give excitement to any filly of her age. Phantom was the eldest and therefore Heidi's favourite. She liked someone so strong and knowledgeable. Beside was the handsome Bjorn. No one could deny the beauty in his coat. When Titan took off to talk to them, the black filly returned to the safety of her mother. Despite her age and curiosity, Heidi still liked the embrace of Thera whom had raised her so well.
"I could not imagine why Bjorn would summon them. Suppose it has something to do with the weather?" Heidi always appreciated when her mother included her in her musings. It made Heidi feel like she wasn't so young anymore. Ears pricked and standing tall she made sure to at least nibble absently at Thera's mane though her childish curiosity was distracting her from doing a good job.

( jotunheim valkyrie ) ( 4 ) ( mare ) ( tags: astrid, phantom ) ( location: idavoll )
- Eliza grazed close to Phantom, as she always did when they were down in Idavoll. In a time before she had joined Phantom she had been chased all over these plains by earls because of her inherited coat. Now that she was with him she still feared being snaked and tried to make it clear to any earls that she had no intention of leaving. Jotunheim was her home now. Lifting her head at her fathers call, the sound was almost foreign to her. It had been so long since she had heard the noise of Bjorn and her ears perked curiously. Nibbling Phantom's rump she groaned internally when he said he would go to them. She worried that it would result in a scuffle and didn't want her own stallion involved. However she supposed it would be more dangerous to ignore a king for fear of insulting him.
Nodding obediently she moved to cluster with Astrid, huddling close to her and looking in the direction of the kings. Astrid's coat was just as obvious as her own so out of all three of the herds, Phantom's was more likely to be attacked by earls. Without the stallion near, Eliza was on high alert. The last thing they needed was an enemy approaching while Phantom was cornered between Bjorn and Titan.
The wind was in Eliza's favour as she picked up hints of conversation from the three. "We are going to Hnitbjorg," she told Astrid quietly. This came as a surprise to the valkyrie. First a glimpse of the reclusive Bjorn for the first time in months and now she was going...home? Was Hnitbjorg her home? No. The plateaus of Jotunheim were. But that didn't mean she wasn't connected to the forests and the trees. As if on queue her memories flashed back to her childhood there. They would have no problem there under Eliza's knowledge. She knew the place well and could avoid any predators.
