AN:The long awaited fan fic that took 4 months to write the first actual chapter. I hope this makes sense. As always, read and review.
Disclaimer: I don't own Thor, I've just borrowed them, quiet happy to give them back :)
To Hel and Back.
Long ago, before the time of the nine realms, lay just two realms, Niflheim and Musphelhiem.
Niflheim was a dark and cold, ice filled place, the sun never saw. Musphelhiem was the opposite, smoke filled the air and rivers of fire ran through the black earth banks. Between the two realms lay Ginunngagap, a mighty void which held nothing but space and stars. Eventually, they collided, causing an explosion so powerful that it left remnants of itself when it gave birth to the rest of the realms.
These we called the Gufa, a bright swirling ball of energy with the power to create and destroy anything that lies within this universe. The Gufa remained in the Ginunngagap until Surt, a Jotun, learned of its existence. He sought it out in his quest to wipe out any creature that wasn't one of his kind. One day an army of Jotuns led by Surt travelled from Jotunheim to the edge of Musphelhiem to collect the Gufa from the Ginunngagap.
With the Gufa finally in his possession, he used it to bring forth what the mortals called Raganok, the end of the Universe. Surt marched his army throughout the entire nine realms, leaving a trail of fire death and destruction. He made fire rain down from the sky and caused the ground to shake, he was unstoppable. When he reached Asgard all looked lost. An Army lead by Borr, my father, fought with Surt in a battle which lasted many days. To everybody's surprise Borr defeated Surt, taking the Gufa from him and banishing him and what was left of his army to Musphelhiem. Borr acknowledged that the Gufa was too dangerous to be in anyone's possession. He ordered the Jotuns to forge Skokr, a casket with three locks that was to contain the Gufa to keep it safe. For Skokr's three locks, three keys were to be made and scattered throughout the nine realms, so no single person alone could open them.
When the Gufa was placed in Skokr, Borr hid it secretly deep within the nine realms, its location lost when Borr died. All this happened thousands of years ago, long before men walked on Midgard, Earth. To this day Surt and his army still wait, dreaming of the day that they can once again possess the Gufa to bring forth Raganok.
Review folks :) it feeds my soul.
