Light Bearer

Yuri had no map of Svartheim. He'd been able to talk to not a single person regarding what might be in store for him inside the dungeon.

Had this been an ordinary run, he would never have attempted it. There were simply too many ways for things to go badly wrong. Mila and Marcus were excellent monster hunters, but the mark of one such was that they did not take foolish risks.

Yet this was no ordinary run, and neither Mila nor Marcus were with him. Instead, he had an immortal, the wielder of a legendary weapon, a dragon, and a werewolf. They were not simply delving for components or whatever loose change they might find either. They knew there was a legendary sword in Svartheim, and Yuri suspected they would have only one shot at retrieving it.

The stakes were high, but there was a more immediate question: Who would carry the light?

Asturial held the shield. Laina needed both hands free to wield her ax effectively. Euryale was an archer, so she needed both her hands as well. It was down to either Twisted, or himself, and he was already schlepping the gear. Worse, Twisted needed to be free to shift between forms, which meant ...

Pack-mule AND lantern bearer.

He grinned at the thought as he blew out the taper he'd used to light the lantern, shutting its casing and holding it aloft as he said, "Asturial will lead with Twisted behind. I will stay in the middle. Laina will be behind me and Euryale will bring up the rear."

"Why do you want me behind you?" Laina asked as she hefted the ax. "Not gonna be much use back that far."

"If circumstances require it you will have time to move up. Right now though, you are our only source of healing. You are more important in that capacity than as a fighter and should be protected as such."

He glanced over the group and then blinked as he saw Asturial's massive sword slung over her back. He pulled the pack from his shoulders, reached in, and retrieved his old shortsword. Unlike the one he'd been given by Boss, this one was an ordinary sword, but it was sharp and well-cared for. He offered it to Asturial, who blinked at it, then at him.

"What am I to do with that?" she asked.

"The caves are likely to be too tight for you to make best use of your usual blade," Yuri explained. "Use this instead."

Asturial's expression turned thoughtful, then she reached out and drew the shortsword from its scabbard and brandished it easily, obviously familiar with similar weapons.

"This has good balance ... it is yours?"

"Yes. I used it for years before Boss gave me the sword he found in the Labyrinth. It will serve you well."

"This will make me more effective seeing as how I'm expected to carry this door around. Thank you."

"Twisted, do you use weapons?"

"Not really. I'm good with javelins?"

He grinned and shook his head. "Even if I had any, this would not be the place for such.
