"What do you mean I'm not from Asgard?" Sjoran's voice echoed throughout the throne room.
Odin looked over at this beautiful creature. Nothing would ever destroy his love for this child. "You are not of Asgard…" He said with regret.
Sjoran stood in shock, shaking her head slowly. "Then who am I?" She whispered.
Odin stood silently; he didn't want her to know…not yet… not while she was so young.
"TELL ME!" Sjoran shouted, losing her patience.
Odin took a few steps towards Sjoran, putting his hand on her shoulder. "Your name is Skadi…you are a frost giant." He said.
"Wh-….why didn't you tell me?" Sjoran gasped. "Father, how could you hide this from me!?"
"I didn't want you to feel different…I wanted you to be safe." Odin sighed.
Sjoran shook her head. "I can't feel anything anymore!" her rage built up, she couldn't believe that the man she called 'Father' would lie about who she was.
"Ran, please try to understand…I did what was best for you…" Odin said with a tear in his eye. He didn't want to go back to that fateful day. The day he found the orphaned frost giant that changed his life.
**18 years ago**
Asgard had won…the infamous battle between Asgard and Jötunheim was finally over. Odin heard the cry of a young child. He turned and ran towards a collapsed cave. Odin tore through the rubble, not stopping for anything. He knew the child would be different, he didn't care. He just wanted a better life for her. Taking her to Asgard would no doubt raise questions, but anything was better than staying in Jötunheim.
**Present day**
"Why didn't you tell me?" Sjoran whispered.
Odin sighed shaking his head. "I didn't-"
"Want me to feel like a monster?" Sjoran said. "I do! And now I understand why you favored Thor and Loki even when we were younger!" She cried.
"Sjoran, that is enough! You are-"Odin was interrupted by a loud crash. Odin looked over and instead of three sculptures of his children, now there were two.
Sjoran had thrown the sculpture of herself to the floor, shattering it. "Not your daughter. I'm the enemy. I am NOT Sjoran!" She said, storming out of the room.
Odin slowly walked toward the shattered sculpture. "I'm sorry…I only wanted what was best for you."
A single tear fell from Odin's eye.
His only daughter was gone.
