001 | Video | Open to both courts

[ The video shows a young woman, her face framed by slightly wavy hair the color of rich soil. Unseen is the weight of many centuries that lie upon her strong shoulders, and would make her ancient rather than young in the eyes of some.

Her large, hazel eyes are sharp as those of a bird of prey as she fixes them upon her locket. ]

I am Lady Sif of Asgard, my allegiance is to my king and my home, and much as the rulers of this court seem to wish it, that will not change simply because they imagine themselves to have some manner of claim on me.

Do not think me craven, I have no fear of battle, but I will not seek it out merely because a stranger tells me that it is my duty.

So I put the question to you now, my fellow recruits: Why do you fight?

And what have you learned so far?

Not much, I'm afraid. I haven't been in this world long myself. Though I've heard that this war has been going on for ages, and that the outcome will decide the fate of all our worlds. I'm not sure if I believe that.

You have learned nothing of why it would be so, that the outcome of this war will affect other worlds?

Only that the monarchs themselves are incredibly powerful. [ That he knows firsthand. ] Even still, the fate of all worlds seems like an awfully tall tale.

Even so, I have seen events transpire before that could mean the destruction of not just one realm, but all. It is possible.

[ Well, that is new. ]

You have? May I ask how?

I do not know if it could have reached this place, but there was a force called the Aether that when unleashed would have plunged the universe into darkness.

I haven't heard anything about Aether, but like I said, I haven't been here very long. If you have a chance to speak with the monarchs, maybe you'll be able to discover more than I have.

Are they usually forthcoming with information?

I couldn't tell you. I've never met them myself.

[ This was absolutely a lie. ]

[ Sif, of course, has no idea about that. ]

I see. Seeking an audience with them might indeed be wise.

I wish you luck in the matter, then. It's my understanding they can be difficult to arrange an audience with.

You have never attempted it?

[ Just because he's never met them it doesn't have to mean he's never tried to after all. ]

I'm afraid I missed my chance at the last audience they held for the court. They must be quite busy with their war.

As it tends to be in such times.

[ If war does not keep a leader busy, that leader is not a very good one. ]

Have you ever seen war before coming here?
