They were going to be fighting waves of monsters. He felt like this was some strange stalling tactic. He wasn't able to stop himself from being flung off the Bifrost. Fear spiked through him. He had no idea what would happen. He reached out trying to grab Bethany in hopes that at least they'd end up together wherever it was. He did not want to be alone, even if it was just into death. But he was dumped to safety by water. That was relieving. It meant Klara was likely nearby. [color=d19f6a]"Thank you Klara. I'm alright Bethany. Are you? Do you need any healing?"[/color] He said. He frowned though. Something seemed odd. He couldn't be certain but to his experience, he had never seen Klara summon water. She swept the bilgesnipes off the bridge to the fate that Ed had almost gone to. He sighed and started following them toward the Palace. When he heard Sif mutter under her breath that made his concerns rise even more. [color=d19f6a]"Sif, may I request a favor. I would like to test a theory. I would need a strand of your hair."[/color] He asked quietly. He could understand if she didn't want to offer up a strand of it considering her history with her hair. "What sort of theory do you want to test that requires my hair?" [color=d19f6a]"I would like to test if I can find a missing person with half the information."[/color] Since Sif was Klara's mother her DNA would be half of Klara's. He had never done the tracking spell without direct DNA from the person he was tracking. He would have to change the spell around some to make it work. "Alright..." she responded, handing him a strand of her hair, "Tell me, has Klara been acting strange lately? Since I found it odd that she used her control over water to deal with the bilgesnipes, as last time we encountered them, she made them her best friends instead..." she added, clearly somewhat concerned. That fit right in with Ed's fear already. [color=d19f6a]"I cannot say for certain, I haven't known Klara long. But something about the way she has spoken recently has made me nervous."[/color] He says candidly thinking of how Klara spoke about Asgard and more importantly some of her treatment of Runa. He couldn't say if that was normal, but it bothered him just enough. "Oh..." she responded, before glancing towards where Klara was, "She's acting like typical, but her actions are... Strange... I know my daughter better than anyone, aside from her father and maybe Runa... Maybe I should speak to my sons about it since she tends to be the one keeping an eye on them so she tends to hang around them a bit..." Ed nodded, he had allowed himself to fall a good distance behind Klara and the Warriors Three. He whispered in his gibberish Latin that he used for his magic after having wrapped the modified tracking device with Sif's hair. The pendant pointed to Sif. He sighed and adjusted his phrasing. This time it swung and pointed toward the Palace. That must be Klara's brothers, but it wasn't pointing at the Klara in front of him. This time he focused on the image of Klara as he said the modified spell. It pointed down below the bifrost bridge into the stars of the sky, tugging him in that direction. His heart sank. [color=d19f6a]"I do not believe that is Klara."[/color] He said in barely above a whisper to Bethany and Sif.
