Prologue: Ash and Ashlyn

Ash had just become king of Ashland. He had already killed most of the race that killed his father King Amar. He knew that Thanos, the Titan that actually killed Amar, was still alive and scheming. Thanos planned to take over the nine realms Ashland had always protected. Ashland was weak, not ready for war, what could he do? He would save the realms he had sworn to protect, even if it killed him.

Ash called Ashlyn to the throne room", I need you to be queen for a while."

Ashlyn asked ", Why? You are alive and I am not the heir."

Ash replied ", I must go and save that which I am sworn to protect."

Ashlyn said ", Ash, we need you here. You mustn't abandon your people at a time like this. We just won a war that was hard fought and you want to run away?"

"It's not like that. Thanos plans to attack and become king of the nine realms. I must stop him for father as much as for me."

Ashlyn sighed", I guess your mind is set. I will become queen and you will enter the nine realms to save them."

"One day we will be at peace and our job complete but today is not that day. I must go and save them and in turn take revenge for Thanos killing our father. I must leave you in charge as I don't trust anyone else with this job."

Ashlyn said ", I will serve you even though I believe this is a huge mistake. You will be facing many trials and I will ready an army in case but I hope it doesn't come to that."

Ash smiled and said goodbye to his lovely sister. "I love you forever Ashlyn, goodbye." He then stepped down from the throne and knowing Ashlyn would be the next in line for the throne, created a portal to Jotunheim, where he then transformed to a babe in the temple and slept.
