Life in Asgard:

The sun was rising over the beautiful kingdom of Asgard, the rising sun's rays shone through the balcony window onto the bed of a sleeping princess. She had long golden hair with light blue eyes, her eyes flicked up and she woke, she sat herself up and stretched her arms and saw the bright sun and gave a smile. She got off the covers of her bed and got herself some water and took a drink to refresh herself.

She then walked to the balcony and took a great view at her future kingdom, she took a deep breath in and let it out calmly. That princess was Thora Odinter of Asgard.

It had been a year and a bit since Thora stopped her brother Loki from destroying the Frost Giants of Jotunheim and using his action to become Asgard's ruler. She was welcomed back into Asgard as a hero for what she did and was proclaimed a true heroine just like her eldest brother: Thor (who she had been named after to honour him for the great deeds he did for their home before he died).

She decided she need a nice walk, she climbed off the balcony and climbed down the walls to the garden. Usually she would do that as a child to prank royal guards with her cousin: Una and her brother Loki but those days were way behind her.

As she took a walk around the royal gardens, she saw the statue of her eldest brother: Thor, she gazed at it with delight. She remembered the day, he came to her as a spirit giving her the advice she need to return to Asgard and stop their younger brother's plans.

She also saw Mjolnir resting on a pedal stone beneath the statue, she would leave Mjolnir on that pedestal whenever she wasn't using it. She then started walking to a nearby hill which held a stone bench and that hill overlooked the whole kingdom. Thora sat on the bench and sat down and started thinking about things.

She really missed her younger brother Loki; he may had set her up to be banished, lied to her to keep from returning home and tried to destroy another realm just so he could be king, but it never stopped her from loving him.

She also really missed Jesse Foster, her true love, she really wished she could have returned him like she promised him but she had to destroy the Bifrost Bridge to save Jotunheim. She looked at the watch that he gave her and shed a tear, she desperately wished that someday she could see him again. She just hoped that he would never forget her and he still kept the Asgardian Crystal that she gave him.

"I see you're still deep in thought,"

Thora turned to see her father Odin standing near.

He went to sit down next to her and they looked at the beautiful view of Asgard.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" he asked.

"Yes it is,"

"Just like you,"

Thora smiled a bit.

"You've been coming up here for so long, it's not good for you if you keep coming here all the time,"

"I know father, I just…"

"Have things to think about…I know," Odin said.

They both just continued enjoying the view. Odin had been very proud of his daughter for what she had done to stop Loki's plans.

"There's something I need to ask you," Thora said. "I would have done it before but we were all too sad in our grief that I couldn't bring myself to ask you,"

"What is it?"

"Back on the bridge before I fought Loki, as I tried to convince him that he was doing was madness, he told me, he wasn't my brother, is that true?"

Odin took a deep breath in and sighed turning his head away from his daughter. "Your brother is the son of King Laufrey,"

"What?" Thora asked so gaped learning that her brother was the son of that Frost Giant King.

"In the aftermath of the battle, I found him left all alone in the temple, he was abandoned so I took him in and raised him alongside you,"

"When did he learn the truth?"

"Soon after I banished you to Earth,"

"But why didn't you tell him the truth?"

"I wanted him to never feel different from our family and I didn't want you to feel distant from him or think he was a monster,"

"As if I would ever think like that to my own brother,"

"When he was Jotun or not, he is your brother no matter what," Odin placed a hand on his daughter's hand. "I miss him a lot like you do even after everything he's done,"

All was quiet for a moment until Thora decided to tell her father something else. "There's something else, I'd like to tell you," Odin turned to her again.

"Thor's spirit came to me on Earth," Thora began again.

"What?" Odin asked. "That's impossible,"

"Unfortunately it did happen and…he told me that he was reckless, immature and strong-headed, was that true?"

Odin took a deep breath and said, "Yes…far worse than you were once but soon he learnt from his mistakes and redeemed himself,"

"Why didn't you tell me what he was truly like?"

"I wanted your eldest brother to be remembered as not a god who made huge mistakes but as inspiration to all those who wanted to be true heroes…when Frigga and I had you, I wanted you to look up to him in the hope that you could be a hero just like he tried to be,"

"Well, he is a hero and an inspiration to everyone,"

"And so are you," Odin decided that they should start the day. "Thora, it's time to enjoy this day while she still can, I know how hurt you've been with your losses but you still have me, your mother and everyone you care about still,"

"You're right, thanks father," Thora hugged her father. They then stood up together holding hands and walked down the hill back to the palace.

Everyone was waking up in their homes. This was what it was like every day in Asgard.

"Well, Thora, you should spend time with your friends and Una," Odin suggested as they walked down. "It's so nice that Una and Fandrall have grown closer than ever,"

"I'm very happy for them, how did it feel being in love when you met my mother?"

"So sweet and UN expecting,"

They chuckled a bit.

"Well, I've duties to attend to," he said.

"And I have time to spare,"

With her father watching proudly, Thora strode to the gardens when she saw her best friend Sif with her long brown hair down, brown eyes and she was wearing a blue tunic.

She also saw Volstagg with his brown beard and hair down and she was wearing a brown tunic.

There was Hogun with his black hair up and he was wearing a blue tunic.

What she smiled most at was her cousin Una; a beautiful Asgardian like her but with medium-length auburn hair, brown eyes and light brown skin. She was wearing a nice ruby dress with gold linings.

Thora also smiled a lot at Fandrall, he had his blonde hair brushed nicely with his matching beard, his brown eyes shining and he was wearing a sweet blue suit. He and Una were dancing so sweetly.

"What sweet dancing," Thora said sweetly and softly.

They all noticed Thora and they all said 'good morning to her' and she waved them back.

"Morning everyone!" she replied back sweetly. "Una, Fandrall, I must say your dancing was so sweet and beautiful,"

"Why…thank you Thora," Una replied gratefully.

"Yes, thank you, Una I spend so much time dancing with one another every now and then," Fandrall answered as well.

"Well, Fandrall, there are more things for you and Una to do besides dancing," Sif said getting slightly annoyed with how flirty the two were getting.

"Sif's right, guys when Jesse and I spent together, we bonded over loads of things and did loads of activities together, you two should do the same,"

"I guess they could give it a try," Volstagg said.

"Yep, I agree," Hogun said. "I'd love to see you two do loads of things together than just dancing and flirting," Hogun complimented.

"Besides the sight of seeing you two dancing and flirting all the time has spread like gossip," Volstagg explained.

"What?!" Una shrieked.

"Unfortunately, yes," Thora said. "I must say, I've been hearing your parents getting quite curious about what you two has been doing so you'd best watch out for them,"

"Yeah, you guys will never know when they might be spying on you," Sif joked and they all laughed more.

"Well, everyone, I've got loads of children to play around with," Volstagg said getting up.

"I should give you a hand," Hogun said.

"Well then, Thora and I shall take a walk," Sif said. "While you boys are dealing with children and while you two…" she turned to Fandrall and Una, "Are spending more time going smoochy, smoochy, smoochy,"

Everyone laughed at the word she used.

Thora and Sif walked out into the streets while Volstagg and Hogun went to his home leaving Una and Fandrall to have another dance just all by themselves.
