As promised her is the rewrite of Aphrodite's story.

Enjoy.

"Born of sea foam and in the light of the blood moon, the first daughter in the house of Odin shall come to be.

It is she, the one with the power to vanquish all who oppose.

She shall have the wisdom and power of the queen, and the command and supremacy of the king.

She will possess power like no other before her.

She who shall ascend the throne of Asgard.

Because on that day The Phoenix, will be born."

Odin the King of Asgard had never trusted the Norns, their days of prophetic 'wisdom' had long come to pass. The people of Asgard having stopped turning to them to predict they're future and simply allowing fate to be their guide.

But Odin knew deep in his heart that this was a prophecy could not help but believe. Not only had the Norns prophesied the birth of the child, but the message had be sent through his wife. The Queen Mother of Asgard, Frigga

After the birth of his first son Thor, and the undertaking of a second child, Loki, into the house of Odin, both he and his wife had decided that in order to keep the prophecy from fulfilling itself, Frigga would undertake drastic measures to ensure that she would not bear a child again.

However a momentary lapse in judgement proved that those measures had not yet come to fruition as a night of passion under the stars, and in the waves of Asgard's most beautiful beaches as the King and Queen consummated their millennia long union, under a blood moon, resulted in the Queen Mother once again bearing a child.

Odin though back on that night as he listened to his wife's shouts of pain from within their bedchamber, and cursed himself for not noticing that it was the perfect time for the Norns' prophecy to come true.

He was not cursing his wife or the unborn child, because the thought of being a father to a third child brought him great joy. Odin was, loathe he to admit it, scared. If the Norns' prophecy was true, which thus far it has been, the child would be the most powerful being Asgard has even seen, more powerful than even he himself.

Finally after what seemed to him like ages, Frigga's screams stopped and the sharp piercing cries of a new-born baby filled the space.

The head healer stepped out of the bedchamber.

"My King," She addressed Odin and he stopped his pacing and gave her his full attention. "Her majesty has given birth, to a daughter."

Odin felt himself pale at the words, but stood tall and nodded to the healer before letting her guide him into the chamber.

Upon entering Odin found his wife in the large bed cradling in her arms a bundle that was wrapped in the finest silk Asgard had to offer.

He approached her side and took her hand in his.

"Odin," Frigga said, voice hoarse. "She's absolutely beautiful."

Odin looked into the bundle of silk and felt his heart stop at what he saw, a pair of the bluest eyes that rivalled the waters in which she was conceived peeked out from behind a band of thick lashes. Her nose was an adorable button, her lips soft looking and pink as the petals of the finest rose. Her skin looked like that of pure ivory, her hair looked as if it was spun from the richest gold in all the nine realms. In a word, she was Perfect.

Vaguely he registered the voice of Frigga calling to one of her handmaidens to fetch their sons so they could to meet their sister.

In a soft voice that he didn't know he possessed, Odin asked his wife. "May I?"

Without hesitation. "Of course." Frigga smiled softly and handed the child over to her father.

He held her close and in the moment knew that whatever prophecies the Norns had in store for her, he would do his best to protect her of them. To protect her from anyone or anything that dared to cause her harm.

He had to know if her skin was as soft as it looked, so as gently as he could manage he tentatively reached out with a single finger and stroked her cheek. At the contact her eyes opened and she gazed up into his one. With a small hand she reached up shakily and touched the patch that covered the other, before she dropped her hand and her eyes closed once again.

The opening of the heavy door that lead to their bedchamber broke him out of the trance that she had him in, he looked up to see two heads poking in, one golden blonde the other jet black. Odin carefully handed the child back over to Frigga and gestured the boys in.

"Come," he said waving his hand. "Meet your sister."

Slowly they moved closer to the bed before cautiously climbing on top the mattress and crawling closer to where Frigga sat cradling the baby.

"Say hello to your sister." Frigga said in a soothing voice turning the baby around so that her brothers could see her for the first time.

Noises of awe came from both boys as they gazed at her.

"She's so tiny." The voice of Thor came in wonder.

"She's a baby." Loki snapped in a voice of bewilderment.

"Exactly," Frigga chuckled. "You were once this small, my son."

"I doubt that." Thor said.

Frigga smiled again. "Would you like to hold her?" She questioned Thor, who was the oldest.

He nodded and settled himself down at Odin's side as he showed him the proper way to hold the baby. Then Frigga carefully placed the baby in Thor's waiting arms. Thor marvelled at her and hesitantly reached out to touch her and when he did she opened her eyes, made a noise of contempt and settle back down.

Then it was Loki's turn, and he was immediately and unwaveringly placed under the same captivating spell as the rest of his family. When Loki reached out to touch her it was one small finger on an even smaller open palm, which she reflexively grasped in a grip so tight and strong it shocked him.

"What is her name?" Loki asked without taking his eyes off of her.

"Aphrodite." Frigga said stroking her hair. "Her name is Aphrodite."

Loki hummed and handed Aphrodite back to his mother, as she was started to get fussy because she was hungry, Odin instructed them to take their leave as Frigga began to nurse.

Odin decided, whether or not Aphrodite was to be the one to one day save Asgard. Whether or not she was to be the first woman to ascend the throne. Whether or not she truly was the Phoenix. She was, for now a baby that deserves his unreserved love and protection, and he would do just that.

So long as the fates allowed.

Let me know what you guys think.
