The Bifrost

The gatekeeper stands at his post, sword in hand as he looks out into the realms sensing something is out of place when he suddenly hears a ship fly over him. On instinct he quickly places his sword into its slot then turns it to turn on the palace's force-field. Heimdal then turns to rush out of the the observatory to see the ship he had heard. Much to both his delight and dismay, he sees a big ship flying towards the palace. Wishing to do more than merely activate a force-field, Heimdal runs then jumps onto on of the observatory bridge's support beams before catching up with the ship just enough to jump off the beam.

Within seconds the gatekeeper finds himself hanging onto he outside of the ship. He slides downward before grabbing a dagger from a sheath strapped to the back side of his belt. Dagger in hand, Heimdal plunges its blade into the ship slowing his descent until it finally sticks. He quickly looks around as his feet dangle off the edge. "That was close." Heimdal states before seeing a steam vent. The gold clad Asgardian then another dagger out of his other sheath on the back of his belt. "Ancestors, grant me good aim to save the realm." He say before kissing the hilt of the dagger then tosses it into the vent.

Soon thereafter Heimdal feels the ship descend, he then waits for the ship to get closer to the bridge before jumping off. Once back on the bridge the gatekeeper watches with short lived delight as the ship crashes and smaller ones fly out.
