=== The Emperor Meets Queen Russ === The door of the great hall washed open, moved by wind, accompanied by a stranger. Cheering, bantering and drinking halted at once, so sudden was the change. The air itself turned to a warm darkness from the usual biting chill of Fenris. The hooded figure strode between the long tables, his cloak tracked by dozens of blue eyes, until at last the long wind ceased; the leaves no longer blew in from outside; and the man stopped before the dais, his hood already off of his head without a single movement, his force of will holding the guards from approaching him. Queen Russ glanced down at the stark, handsome face, black hair streaming from his head. She took a lazy gulp from her mug and regarded him for a moment more. "And who might you be?" A waiting pause. "Just a traveller." A cool drink. "A simple wanderer does not have such a force about him." His eyes did not move from hers. "I have not said I am simple." Hers rolled and rested again. "Alright. If you will not tell me who you are, then what are you?" "Strength and destiny." With that, the queen's countenance walked from feigned boredom to blushing, righteous anger. "Stronger than me? Wiser than the Rune Seers? I have bested every man, every army, that has challenged me. I was raised by a she-wolf and a king. I slay mighty beasts. I rule justly and peacefully. The priests say the stars themselves are my watchers. And you say you are strength? You say you are destiny?" The stranger's eyes were calm and his words stayed smooth: "You words are artful in rage, so I tell you this: I journey from the stars, and soon will return there." The queen's vision narrowed, blonde hair descending over her icy gaze freezing into steel. "If you are so destined, stranger, then how about a challenge? Or a series thereof. I will test you, as is the way of Fenris." "I will go your way." "Then prepare yourself." The queen rose from the throne, revealing her massive height, strength, and regalia. The pelt of a massive creature rounded her shoulders, but dropped as she unclasped her cloak. Blue and black clothing shrouded her, and her muscles pressed at seams. She tightened a thick, sandy braid into a bun. The first challenge was eating. Whole turkeys lay before the competitors, and they raced to finish them. The queen trounced the stranger. The next test was drink. For a whole day and night, mead and wine flowed in rivers. The queen outlasted the cloaked man. At last came combat. Russ fought brutally, wildly, yet with the skill and speed of a veteran. The bout took dawn away from dusk, but at last the man felled the queen with a heavy punch. Waking quickly from unconsciousness, the queen looked up to see the man--no longer shrouded in the dim but blazing with golden light, perfect crown and armor enveloping his colossal figure. "I am the Emperor of all Mankind. I go now to begin a great quest, a crusade, to reclaim the lost worlds of our people. You are my long-lost daughter, Queen Leman Russ, and you shall have a mighty legion of warriors to conquer the stars at my side with your siblings. Will you join me?" Breathless and amazed, Russ knelt before the golden giant. Her whole array of supporters followed suit. "Stranger. Emperor. Father. You have proven your might, and have Fenris at your back."
