There, in the distance, she would see the High Priestess of Elysium in the distance speaking with another. She thought to head her direction, but it was the arrival of another, her nephew, which called stronger to Wardruna now.
A step into his direction, then another, and as she opened her mouth to speak, a fog moves on swiftness around her. Clouding, blinding her vision until there was only darkness. Nothingness. Wardruna cries out. Cried again. Until hair stood on end and bones rattled with fear. This darkness, this nothingess, it was not an existence she ever wanted to know. Yet know now she did.
And then, as quick as it began, it ended. It left her on her stomach, panting in anxiety. Death was something a viking had learned to never fear. Death only meant joining the realm of the gods. It only meant a longer existence among them and those akin to her, spending their days in feast and fight for the preparation of great battle to come. And even then, not the end. The remaining gods to rise in place of those foretold to die in Ragnorok.
This - this which she had been shown, was a fate far worse then death.
She couldn't believe it. Couldn't! Her gods, her father and mother would never leave her to abandonment so. And still, a cold quiver crept it's way through her.
In this first round, Wardruna is left but to pant and panic.
