[Red XIV]

The statue of Ifaylna Rovan began to shake. Blue light appeared out of the cracks in the stone. The priestess and her two servants, kneeled before the statue of the legendary hero, which stood in the middle of a small pool of water, in the main hall of the Water Temple of Asgard.

Within seconds, the beautiful Ifaylna, stood, naked except for her jewelry, which glistened off of her fair body, before them. One of the servants stood up and fetched Ifaylna a robe. As the servant walked off, the priestess stood up and bowed her head.

"O Beloved! You have returned from your long slumber! Demetri has returned to stalk the earth again!" the priestess said. Ifaylna nodded, her long hair, splayed over her shoulders, shifting.

"Demetri...Do you know anything of the others, Priestess?" Ifaylna asked. The priestess shook her head.

"We've had no word from the other lands...however, news of Demetri's evils have reached Asgard, as of late." the priestess answered. "Demetri has begun his reign of terror, again. He has captured, tortured, and killed many citizens of the world!"

"I see." Ifaylna said, solemnly. She stepped down from the pedestal, moving gracefully through the water, her feet barely making a splash. Ifaylna was a beautiful woman, with lovely brown hair and glowing eyes. The servant returned and handed Ifaylna the robe. Ifaylna fastened the robe, loosely, and looked back to the priestess.

"We must prepare. Send word to the others that I have awakened." Ifaylna ordered. The priestess nodded and gestured to one of the servants. The servant nodded and hastily left the chamber. Ifaylna waited.
