Rising Up to the Challenge.....
Who: Henry and L, Open to Asgard
Where: Asgard's Training Grounds
When: Monday, afternoon
Rating: PG-13 to be safe
Warnings: None so far
Summary: After weeks of recovering, Henry decides it's time to see how well his body's healed. And time to see if he can still remember how to wield his weapon of choice....
Henry had stopped reaching up to touch the place his camera used to rest. He'd accepted that for now, he was without his favorite and constant companion. He had other things he had to think about, other things he needed to be focusing his mind on.
And it was time to reintroduce himself to another old 'friend', so to speak.
Alone - for the moment - in the training grounds, Henry closed his fingers around the handle of the ax Kain had suggested for him. It had been a good choice. Lightweight, slender, the same heft and general length of a wood cutting axe, but...sleeker, in a way. Clearly a weapon and not just a tool used in an emergency.
And it felt familiar in his hand. Free of crutches and casts, Henry faced the row of dummies and gave a few experimental, gentle swings of the axe....
He felt there was a dark irony in the fact that he had fallen to an axe as his chosen weapon.
