Nothing to Fear

Eri stared down at the crystal blue water in the indoor swimming pool at the town's local YMCA. She was wearing her frog covered swimsuit, and even matching water wings. But darn it all, she was not getting in. Her grandmother was Gaea, and her grandfather, Odin. Between the two of them, she did not see any reason why she should like the water. Her powersm which she inherited from her daddy were of the earth and sky, not the water. She looked up at Thor and shook her head, but instead of her father taking no for an answer, he lifted up around the waist and plopped her into the pool.

"Daddy…what if I drown?" She whimpered as he backed up a couple of paces, and she slowly doggy paddled toward him.

"You shall not drown, Eri. I will not allow that happen to you." Thor replied as he gently took her hands in his own and smiled.

"See, you are perfectly safe Eri." He reassured her one more time, and stepped back again.

Eri swallowed down her fear and continued to kick her legs and move her arms. She was Eri Odinson, daughter of Thor, the God of Thunder. She could do this!

The God of Thunder wrapped his daughter into her Disney Hercules towel, as they headed into the locker room. Eri rolled her sky-blue eyes, all the mothers from today's Parent/Child swim lesson were staring at her daddy, and not in a mean way but in a goo-goo eyes way. Once she was dressed, she slipped on her gladiator sandals, and followed her father out of the locking room, once he had finished getting dressed in the Men's Locker room. She looked at the other mothers from over her shoulder and stuck her tongue out at them. They had no right to stare at her daddy like that, her mama would be back from her science expedition any day now. Or at least she hoped…

Later that night during dinner Eri picked away at overly buttered and overly cheesed spaghetti noodles. It wasn't that she didn't like the dinner her daddy had prepared, it was that she wished he could learn to cook something else. The God of Thunder's daughter looked up at him, as he put his fifth helping on to his plate. She absentmindedly twirled her noodles around on her fork.

"Daddy. What are we going to do tomorrow?" His daughter really wanted to know, she was hoping he would remember the promise he had made her. Tomorrow was Saturday after all. A weekend away from her classmates who thought she was a freak, a weekend away from homework and Parent/Child swim lessons.

"I thought we could travel to the zoo. You do like the zoo, do you not?" Thor questioned.

Eir could not helping grinning from ear to ear. "I love the zoo, Daddy!"

"Then that is where we shall go." He said as he gathered up there now empty plates and put them into the sink.

With her pajamas on and teeth brushed, Eri climbed into bed and buried herself under the covers, cuddling her stuffed animal fennec fox to her chest. She was just about to pick out one of her favorite books for Thor to read to her when she saw something large and hairy making it's way to her, by climbing sideways on the wall.

"DADDY!" she screamed out of fear, and clambered out of bed as quick as she could.

The God of Thunder came charging into the room, hammer in hand. He scanned the room thinking that it might have been a Frost Giant or some other manner of monster. Instead his little kindergartener was shaking in fear and pointing at the wall with a quivering finger. A rather large spider scurried hurriedly across the wall, Thor lifted his hammer, as his weapon collided with the arachnid, it did leave a rather large hole in the wall.

"Daddy…you could of just used a newspaper or a book." Eir pointed out as her father moved one of his daughter's lightning storm pictures to cover up the hole.

Thor shrugged. "Just don't tell your mother."

He tucked her in and kissed her on the head, before returning back to his own bedroom. Eir glanced at the picture that was covering up the wall, and couldn't help falling asleep with a smile on her face.
