Light dappled through the leaves, morning breaking in the Everfree. Sigyn opened her eyes and felt the warm body of her sister next to her. Shifting her position, she snuggled in tighter against the larger Dragoness, laying her head upon Angrododa's chest she closed her eyes once more.
"I should go make breakfast." Came Angroboda's low rumble.
"No, Snuggle more." Came the changeling's response.
"Sister, we should arise and greet the day, not waste....." Angroboda paused, Sigyn's forearm and hand, had changed to a rather sharp blade, currently pressed against her throat.
With her eyes closed, and seemingly only half awake, Sigyn repeated, "You're warm and snugly, cuddle now, responsibility later." Her blade didn't waver.
"Alright, Sigyn, we'll rest a bit longer." Angroboda chuckled, pulling the changeling in tighter. Sigyn's blade disappearing, as both women drifted back to sleep.
"Oh! Am I interrupting something?"
From snuggled to movement in an instant, Sigyn leaped over the cooling campfire, tackling the intruder. Her forearm, again a blade, again at someone's throat.
"Who are you?" She snarled.
The black shelled being smiled. "I'm Chrysalis, former Queen of the Changelings. Forgive the intrusion, I saw the fire and, well, I've been cold for so very long." Breathing in Sigyn's scent and biting her lip, she teased. "Tell me, would you like to warm me? I don't mind sharing."
"I have a blade to your throat and you're flirting?"
"I'm an emotivore dear, I feed on love. Besides, I can tell, you don't mind. After all, you haven't shifted to a better position yet, besides, what woman doesn't like an occasional dagger included in foreplay?"
Sigyn smirked, this one would be fun. Pressing the blade harder against the intruder's throat, she grasped the other woman tight, pressing her self into Chrysalis's ample chest. The Changeling Queen's breath quickened as she felt her face heating, "What is this sensation?" She thought. "And how do I make it continue?"
"Sigyn, let her up. We be strangers here."
Sigyn arose, a small mew of disappointment, turning she returned to the campfire, Chrysalis shakily getting to her feet.
"Strangers, oh like those that arrived earlier?"
Both women turned. "What others?" Angroboda asked.
"Not including you two, there are six. I haven't been able to find much about them, at least not yet."
"When did they arrive?" Sigyn asked.
"Why? What are they to you? I don't know either of you, other then your both dangerous. Besides, you pinned me to the ground, took advantage, and didn't even offer me breakfast afterwards. I see no reason to give away information. Especially if it might make me more enemies."
"More Enemies? Seems you already gave away some free information there." Sigyn snarked.
"Nothing you couldn't have gotten anywhere else or inferred from my introduction, after all one does not become a former Queen, without upseting those in power."
"Three of them are our children, I have no idea who the other three are. Please, help us find the children we thought lost." Angroboda rumbled.
Chrysalis turned her head a moment, pursing her lips she said. "The first three, were unmistakable. They had power like I had never felt before. They entered, largely on their own and went directly to their destinations. Then came you two, walking secret pathways I was not even aware of. The last three, also with immense power, entered through a rainbow, and then scattered, each heading towards the first three, although in a more haphazard pattern."
Sigyn's eyes narrowed. "Why give that to us so easily? You who just a second ago wanted payment?"
"You lost your children, mine were taken, turned against me. If you have a chance to reclaim yours, I have not the right to impede you" Chrysalis sighed, then fell silent.
The two sisters looked to each other. Angroboda tilted her head toward the Changeling Queen, to which Sigyn smiled and nodded.
"You know we're going to need a guide." Angroboda said.
"And I personally will have no problem keeping her well fed." Sigyn finished.
Chrysalis smiled. "You want me to go with you?"
Sigyn darted towards Chrysalis, grabbing the black chittened being, the Pale Changling pulled her in close, affixing her mouth to Chrysalis's. Green energy flowed from Sigyn to Chrysalis as the former Aesir's affection was force fed to the former queen. A low moan was heard as Sigyn disengaged, Chrysalis glassy eyed with intoxication.'
"Does that answer your question, My Pet?" Sigyn asked
Chrysalis's could do nought but nod her head. She had never been given love . She had never knew it could feel like that! This being before her! There was only one response, kneeling she uttered her acquiescence.
"Completely, Mistress."
Angroboda shook her head, "Damn it Sigyn, Another one? I'm not cleaning up after this one, after you get bored."
"Dearest sister, she's a former Queen of shape shifting, emotivores. I doubt I will ever be bored with this one."
Angroboda returned her attention to the recovering Chrysalis. "The first Three can you tell us where they went?"
"Chrysalis nodded, rising she shook her head of the cobwebs. "Oh, Yes, I most certainly can." She paused, did her voice just sound giddy? Ugh. "Sorry, what I meant to say is that I can take you to where I felt them enter this realm. From there we will have to track them."
Sigyn smirked. "I don't know Chrysi, I kind of liked that perkiness. It made me want to have you on your knees." Sigyn traced a finger down Chrysilis's face, before roughly pulling her in for another kiss."
"Sigyn enough, play with your new pet later. We need to find our children."
Letting Chrsalis up for air she replied. "Very well, sister." Then gave Chrysalis her orders. "Chrysalis seek."
Swooning, all Chrysalis could do was obey. "Yes, mistress. I will find them, I swear it."
Crouching low, Chrysalis moved forward into the Everfree, towards the first entry point, not realizing the binding that had already claimed her.
I think I should feel sorry for Chrysalis, but I get the feeling that this will be a good ending for her.

Only because you have been paying attention.
I didn’t know lesbians existed in Norse mythology.
8966978
The Norse Gods attitude towards sex was absolutely and plenty of it. Remember in the ancient world there was no division along those lines. What we consider so important is actually only a construct of the last couple hundred years, maybe. Indeed, Gay and Lesbian pairings show up through out myth and legend as well as in confirmed history. So neither Sigyn and Angroboda are Lesbians, exactly, in fact the very concept of such a thing would probably be foreign to both. The concept that one must chose one over the other would be pretty dumb to them both. They would probably lecture everyone about bringing children forth on the one side, then remark about some urges only being satisfied by a woman on the other, and only if they didn't just scoff and decide to give the questioner a demonstration of what they meant. The only real sexual taboo the Norse had was concerning Incest and that mostly dealt with direct family members and not much else. Oh, and both The Fenrir Wolf and Jormungdr required the same thing of all those that saught their wisdom, men and women. Had to let them fuck you. So, yeah. Old myth is pretty fun when you look into it.
8967119 At least the gods of the Norse pantheon were slightly nicer than the gods of the Greek pantheon.

They took three 12yr olds, dropped the girl into the underworld, mostly just because she wasn't pretty. The oldest, because he tried to defend his siblings, got dropped into the coldest, darkest depths of the ocean. The middle one got betray, chained and then a sword stuck in his mouth. The hilt was in his bottom jaw, while the point was at the roof of his mouth. Pretty much because of what the two of them MIGHT do. Also they bound a father with sinew, made from the entrails of one of his sons, that they made the other kill, by turning to a rabbid wolf, that either killed itself or was killed. All of the olden Gods SUCKED!!!!! Stiil makes for entertaining stories and good crossso
8970226 Guess you’re right after all. ALL the olden gods sucked. But I won’t go as far as to involve religion here and you’re right in that they’re good crossover material.

Agreed, I mainly use the older legends for preference, as for religion, that's for someone else to fight about. I like stories and naratives, like the Myths/Legends of the ancients. Something about stories that are so tied up with Myth, that it is hard to tell where the actual event is and where the embilishment began. Makes it that any part or all of it could have happened. We just happen to be at the end of it after thousands of years of playing Telephone. Which is why most of the characters tend towards their own refrence points, not of religion per se, but societal. I just like putting the spin of, what if no one was right or wrong, and we just happened to have a bias source. My intent is never to villify any side, merely to force a different perspective. One none of us have ever seen. I do want to caution though. Things are about to get dark. Especially, as I switch between the gift arc and the punishment arc. So I hope you enjoy.
