Chapter Two - Thunder and Lightning.
"Norsk?" the redheaded healer shook her head, "I... I don't know any Norsk." She seemed adamant, but an undercurrent of doubt, or was it fear, tinged thet statement, "My family, those on the Emerald Isle know no Norsk..."
Yet at Victoria's prompting, Saskia's brow furrowed and her burgundy lips parted. "I see..." she intoned and then she stiffened, "[Language unknown: Te ard, rut ulrole po becawe set theng omacadrelacepr, ersomepro eenstrdin ie a dipaul Rostnoel thioerati alllinome witch eipr thuconshe it he Etllan Hoarwi.

[Language unknown: "Entthaain."] Saskia, who is not Saskia, proclaimed rather deadpan, [Language unknown: "Ticprehis aveectoer ll m alic."]
Saskia trembled and her soft Irish lilt returned briefly. "Death." her trembling lips repeated, then continued, "I see..." a sob escaped from her, "I see the Bright Lady ripped from the sky! Luna shattered, her shards pulled from the Heavens and cannibalized by the Enemy; consumed by hungry, unclean hands. Her glow gone... forever ..." Her shoulders slumped and tears welled from her eyes, a defeated, terrified shadow passing over her pale features.
She stiffened again, [Language unknown: "Skuld avehistho t utenusmi itaica, ill man ol m whenisev ndpe'onho.

Saskia found herself grinding her teeth. She shuddered and spoke as she exhaled, "They ... they, Skuld and her sisters, gave themselves completely to undo the the Great Weave, the Tapestry of Everything; so, that we'd have a second chance..." She seemed stunned and spent, "He says I don't have a choice. We don't have a choice in the matter."
Her eyes darted towards the blonde fighter, when more Norsk not uttered by her was spoken.
"Clo.." she started, barely able to make out the blonde through her blurred vision. Then Vǫlundr pushed forward again to answer - but this time he chose a mix of languages, [Language unknown: "Om al esrea u teeen Heska all Skuld. No evlar al ieec notal Ristacli Er..."] "The Great Lich King and his endless army cannot come to power." her bright green eyes fell upon her friends ending with Zander as Saskia-not-Saskia reiterated, her tone even and barely raised above the din in the common room yet not brooking any reproach even from the blonde guitar-god, "We are tasked with Saving the World."
