In the eternal realm of Asgard, 975 AD, King Odin finished his speech to his two sons, Loki and Thor. Both children were ready for any war and be mighty just like their father.
King Odin lead the two towards one of the many common rooms. As soon as the door opened, the two sons thanked their father and headed off in a walk. Once the door closed the two began to run to a certain bench. At the bench were two young maidens around the same age as the the boys, chattering about. They faced each other while sitting on a copper bench. One had black flowing hair in curls that reached her shoulders. She was dressed in a deep burgundy red medieval style gown with pale gold accents tying in at the waist and elbows. She had brown eyes and light tan skin. Her name was Sif.
Across from her was a fiery redhead with emerald green eyes. Her hair was swept back and braided from the crown down. It was then wrapped in a bun with a tail that came down to her stomach. She was dressed in a deep dark purple medieval gown with silver accents at the waist and elbows. She had no freckles. It was due to a life changing event. Her name was Sigyn.
"Sif and Sigyn," Thor called out to them. The two stopped girls stopped chattering and watched the boys head over to them. "I will be a mighty warrior like Allfather," he looked over to Loki, "but wise too."
Loki nodded his head. "And I shall be like Allfather as well for he never went looking for a fight."
The two girls looked back to each other and giggled. They knew that the two sons always bickered and fought trying to be king.
"Of course not," Sigyn agreed. She could hear his thoughts. They were sad, she hated him sad and defeated. She quickly changed the subject. "What was that you learned from Allfather?"
"Can you tell us?" Sif followed.
Thor and Loki looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. They looked back to them.
"He just told us the story about the frost giants." Thor tried to seem nonchalant, waiting for the girls to take the bait.
The girls eyes went wide. "What did he tell you?" The two asked.
"Just that he defeated them," Thor smirked and crossed his arms.
"Are there any frost giants left?" Sigyn asked. She knew what the answer was but had to play along. Allfather would always have a meeting with her to make sure that she didn't tell anyone about her secret. Sigyn came from a family that knew how to kindle fire. Passed down through generations, a family member would be granted the fire gene. They could create fire from anywhere and can never get burnt by it. During the great war with Jotunheim, Frost Giants were sent to seek her out to kill her with a single touch, but instead she became a Frost giant instead. She could create ice but as well as a blue flame. It could burn those in an instant or freeze them. Though Sigyn did acquire another power that sparked from the two powers combining. She can hear thoughts, speak to others in their minds, create communication between minds that are not of her own, show images, memories, sights, sounds and make objects do her bidding. Allfather used her to his advantage by using her as a bargaining token for making peace.
Loki looked to her. "That's what I asked, and he didn't say anything." He felt a little down by it. He grew curious about them, like all things. He wanted to know more. Sigyn and him would be in the library reading whenever they could. The two found a way to talk to each other in secret when the two were separated. He would write in a book about all his thoughts and feelings, his experiences and wishes. Sigyn would then read it and write in a book of her own back.
"It doesn't matter, if there is they will all be gone when I grow up," Thor patted him on the back. "And you can help me."
"I will help you with that too," Sif agreed.
"What if the frost giants aren't really that bad?" Sigyn pondered.
"How can they not be bad? They're frost giants. They're cold hearted, literally," Thor laughed.
"And you must be soft since you are warm hearted," Sif joked. The four of them laughed.
These four were best friends through families. They all met when they had tutors to teach them about Asgard. They would meet in a study hall every day. Until one day, Sigyn had to leave. Her curiosity and mischief with Loki was not going over too well with Odin. He didn't want her to spoil the plans he had for the two. Plus, her powers were growing. It was only a matter of time when someone was going to find out. The only others who knew were her parents, and Frigga, King Odin's wife.
King Odin knew that one day his son Loki will also one day figure out who he really was, and that one day he dreaded. He kept the secret from his son, to make sure he had a happy life and not always questioning himself about being a monster. He knew that Sigyn's special gift will keep Loki under control if he had ever found out. Once Sigyn became more curious about everything he knew it was time for her to be sent away to be trained by the maidens of Valkyrior. They were the Choosers of the Slain, a group of warrior goddesses who appeared over the battlefields of mortal worshippers and the warrior Asgardians of the Asgardian Gods and chose the fallen who are worthy enough to be taken to Valhalla, the land of the honored dead.
There she would hone her skills and come back to be as a Valkyrior to do Allfathers bidding.
Her parents and her left with no warning, for it was only a few seasons later did they leave. Not a word was said about where she had went or if she would ever come back. It left the three young children heartbroken for she never said goodbye. Loki especially.
Sigyn traveled to the far off place and stayed at a weird midpoint to discourage those who might have followed. There she met Fandral, a new friend, but in a few seasons time she left again. He fell in love with her. She was sweet, nice, and pretty. She knew everything that he had wanted and was kind enough to listen to him. It gave him hope and confidence.
With the years passing by, she was taught alongside Brunhilde, a future leader of the Valkyrior. She learned how to sword fight, ride horses, unarmed combat, learn to wield magic, create potions, learned how to heal and the training her special and unique gifts. Sigyn had found she had the power of telekinesis. She learned to block people out, shift through minds, learned to fight without it, and how to keep it hidden from those who wanted its use. She also had complete control of ability to the two flames. She could create fire that can come out at any part of her body or anything she wished to be on fire. She could turn herself into a frost giant with blue skin and red eyes. She was not affected by the cold. Her red hair would become white as snow. They gave her the name of the Twin Flame. As a Valkyrior she was granted with the power to leave her body and help those to Valhalla.
Sigyn was training young women to be Valkyriors when the Frost giants tried to steal back the Casket of Ancient Winters. It was the day Thor with his Mjolnir was going to be finally King of Asgard. The Frost Giants that went knew that they treaty would not be broken for Sigyn was safe. However, this had made Thor upset, little did he know that nothing would have happened, but Odin and Frigga kept this secret hidden from him and the rest of the realm.
When Thor had been banished and kingdom fell into the hands of Loki, Odin did not have a chance to send for her. Once Thor had returned and Loki gone, it was hard for King Odin. He knew that it was good for Loki to find himself, however the news of him teaming up with the Chitauri to takeover the Midgardian race was alarming. He sent Thor to find his brother and to bring him back. He also sent word to Sigyn to prepare herself to travel back to the kingdom she was born in.
However, growing up Valkyrior, with her special gifts, she was not allowed to show anything about her during fights or training. She was to keep herself hidden from the realm. When she was allowed to let herself be viewed in public, like royal events, she was allowed to wear a thick veil that came over her head to the top of her lips and covered her hair. The veil almost reached her ankles. Her hair would be wrapped in the same fabric before the veil went on. She could still see but those could not see her. She would also wear a medieval gown with armor attached proclaiming that she was still fierce. She would go by the name of Glut Angrboda (meaning she who offers sorrows of ember).
