    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    Lagertha sees Rhy come as well, and she moves to be nearer her sister (and friend, though the word has been uttered only once). The rest come, and then they are teleported somewhere and sometime. To darkness. To a void. To space (she assumes). To look for warmth. Having never been here before, she doesn’t really know what space is, only that it is cold (but not too cold), and that they can move, albeit clumsily. Jesus fucking Christ, what did she get herself in to?

    The first thing Lagertha does is look around for her gold and white companion, never giving a thought that they wouldn’t work together while they could. A thick vine extends from her right foreleg and she sends it in the mare’s direction so that it may wrap around her own leg, and then Lagertha pulls them together. She can easily pull someone else in, if Rhy wished, but her first thought was that like calls to like - amazon to amazon, and lightning to lightning - and so on an impulse, she sends a thick vine towards Kratos as well, when she notices that he starts trying to get to her golden sister. The big boy might be useful. Their lightning would protect, and she could shield them… throw things, I don’t know. This would be a test of her armor’s usefulness and potential other qualities.

    Too bad Myrina is nowhere to be seen. Amazons should stick together.

    When the three of them are within talking distance, Lagertha asks them to see if their electricity will work in space, and if it can find anything that will be more… conductive? Is that the right word? Wouldn’t electricity be attracted to something like metal or land or something that is warm? One of them sends electricity out into the void, and the three of them look to see if it goes anywhere - if it falls over some event horizon or suddenly disappears. Her vine keeps them all together, wrapped instead around abdomens instead of legs, giving each of them a little bit of space to use if need be . Electricity dances across her skin, and occasionally hurts, but Lagertha tries to ignore it. Find warmth.

    Eventually something disappears, and when they see it, Lagertha sprouts massive pods all over her body - the kind that can spit seeds out. She accelerates their growth and forces the pods to expel millions of seeds into space, propelling the three of them towards the wormhole. If the other two are able to aid her in some way, they are able to move even faster, because the constant production and expulsion is a little tiring. Rhy helps by sending electromagnetic waves out behind them improving upon Lagertha’s aim and speed.

    Then something attacks them, and electricity flows through her, only slightly absorbed by her plant protection. The plants explode, heaving Lagertha forward and it's all she can do to let the vine out as long as she dares, knowing full well that her sister and (lover? comrad? fell electrician?) Kratos could hold their own. Let her find the warmth and bring them with her.

    Lagertha crosses into the wormhole first, falling into somewhere unknown. In the tumbling, At some point during the fall it grows taut and snaps, leaving her alone when she lands.
