Yardaff had never travelled between realms before, and the experience was amazing. He could see the many entities of space flash past him as he sped to Asgard, which stood like a beacon of light before him, drawing him in.
With a great roar, he landed on one knee on Asgard. The pseudo-dust cleared quickly, and Yardaff found himself just outside the armory.
Almost before he registered this, he felt it: a strange prickling under his skin, as something deep within the armory called to him…to his blood…
The Ice Casket… he thought. He could feel its energy calling to him, drawing him…
Slowly, almost as if in a trance, he turned to face the heavy doors to the armory. He took a step forward…and felt Loki's helmet in his grasp.
Instantly, he returned to his senses. I am not here to reclaim the Casket, he reminded himself; I am here to find my brother.
Suddenly, a pair of Asgardian guards ran up to him. He turned to face them, holding up one hand in a gesture of peace, as they raised their weapons to attack him.
"I am not here to seek battle," he declared calmly.
The guards paused.
"Is your king available?" Yardaff asked. "If so, please go and tell him that Yardaff Laufeysson requests an audience with him immediately."
The guards looked at each other.
"I come in peace, and seek a peaceful audience with your king," Yardaff repeated, calm but firm.
The two guards nodded at each other wordlessly. Then, one ran off, presumably to report to the king, while the other stepped toward Yardaff and raised his weapon to Yardaff's throat.
Yardaff didn't recoil or flinch. He simply turned his cold, red-eyed gaze on the guard without a word. The guard met his gaze, likewise not flinching.
