Once upon a time, in Asgard, stood a female, near the Bi frost, the gate to other worlds. She had long vibrant ebony hair with calm and blank green eyes. She wore a dark blue shoulder less dress, with a trail behind her.
It was Elleira, Goddess of Sorcery and Time.A goddess unknown to almost all, since she never visited Earth, nor was she ever talked about by the one who visited Midgard.
But as she was the goddess of sorcery, she was a curious woman. She wanted to see the other worlds, since she couldn't find the one man she knew she needed on Asgard.
Thus leading to her create a portal between Midgard and Asgard.
As she lived there fore a while, she met a man, a brown-haired man with eyes as blue as the sea surrounding Odin's palace. He was curious about her, asking her questions such as her childhood an everything. He was named Michael.
This was the year 985 after Jesus Christ.
The woman knew the man beside her was her soulmate, but how would Odin react to that? Would he forbid her of seeing him ever again? Or would he accept the connection between the two young persons?
She did not know.
Then, the All-Father found out, and ordered her to come back to discuss what this absence was about.
As they talked and talked, Odin told her could she could stay on earth with her one condition. After one year of living there, if she still wanted to be with that man, he would remove her immortality, this making her as mortal as the one she loved.
She the time, she did not know she was pregnant with child.
After she left, a few weeks after, she knew she was pregnant, and was worried that the baby would come to life before the removal of immortality. How would that affect the child?
The black-haired woman told her lover, now husband of the baby and both of them were overjoyed.
But, what Elleira, the black-haired woman did not anticipate, was the fact that the baby was sucking the immortality out of her at an increasing speed, and Elleira wasn't sure if there would be any 'immortality essence' in her at term.
But she did not mind, the sooner she was a mortal, the better.
But her health decided to decrease, to the point she would be stuck to bed, her husband near her, asking healers to do something for his wife.
She knew what was happening, as the same thing happened to her own mother. She decided to write down every single thing she knew for the child that was to be born in a while, every spell, every thing, she wrote it down in many books.
As she gave birth to her child, she lost the little piece of life left and gave her last breath, as her eyes fell on her daughter's hues.
They were as green as hers, maybe even more.
Michael was heartbroken, he wanted to hate the child that took the love of his life away from him , but as he looked at the little bundle, her green eyes staring calmly at him with a smile on her chubby cheeks, he couldn't.
He raised his daughter to his best. Even naming her Nel, as her mother wanted. But he knew people would question her name and thus added a second one. Elena.
As she grew, he understood his daughter was a quiet lad, never speaking if it was unnecessary, as he taught her to keep her gifts( her mother's heritage) under control and to never show them to anyone, or else they would brand her as a witch.
He taught her to hunt, to read, to cook. Everything he knew, and she took everything in only she was born into a boy's body, she wouldn't be excluded by other people.
When she was twelve, her father died on a hunt, killed by bears. Even though she was a strong girl, she broke down, for weeks she barely ate, barely sleep.
After a few months, the girl decided to take herself in hands, and she swore to her mother and father,that she would protect this world with her very last breath.
And it was a promise she intended to keep.
