Prologue

In the depths of Asgard, the Goddess Frigga, wife of Odin, gave birth to a baby girl. She cowered in the shadows, cradling the new born, desperately trying to hush the child's cries. The Queen looked up, fear painted on her face as the shouts of guards could be heard in the distance. Frigga cried, rocking her baby. Her body aching, her stomach sore and her hands bloodied. The guards stormed the doors, breaking the wood and calling her name. Light flooded the dark space and Odin's silhouette flamed as he looked down at his wife in rage.

"Frigga! What have you done?" The guards seized her, pulling the baby from her arms as Odin was consumed by fury. The child squirmed in the grip of a guard, wailing and tears falling down it's cheeks. The last Frigga saw of her daughter as she was taken away were the infants eyes. Her grey eyes, wide with fear.

The child was taken to the throne room and Odin sat, staring at her. She lay naked on a guards cloak, crying and writhing; lonely, hungry and afraid. Thor and Loki stared at the infant, creeping out of the shadows. Thor reached out to her as tiny fingers reached for his hand.

"Father? Who is she?"

"Do not touch her Thor!"

Odin was on his feet, his face dark with anger. Thor stared, grabbed his brother's hand and ran from the throne room. He picked the child up and walked. He crossed to the bifröst and stared at Heimdall. "Open the gate, she cannot. She will not stay here."

Heimdall looked sadly at the child and stroked her face. He turned, opened the bifröst and stepped back.

"As you wish my King. Do not forget her."

The AllFather looked back,

"Trust me Heimdall. I will."

Odin stood with his arms outstretched and the child vanished in a rush of blue sparks. The King turned away and walked back to the palace. He walked to the cells, ignoring his guards, ignoring his subjects. His wife was inside, crying. Odin bargained with the Queen.

"If your forget that abomination. If you never speak of her, if you never look for her or even think of her, I will allow you to remain in Asgard and things will be as they were. But heed my warning Frigga. If you disobey me, you will suffer the same fate as your child."


On Earth, a small, grey eyed baby lay crying in the rain.
