BROKEN PIECES

Chapter 1

Present Time. Themyscira, Earth. Colora is training with the other Amazonian warriors. As she trains, the Amazonians, her father stands next to the Queen of Themyscira, Hippolyta, watching her. The general of Themyscira walks towards Colora and fights her. As they fight, Colora makes a mistake and gets kicked in the stomach. "Good Colora. Remember, you must never back down, use your surroundings, and never lose your focus," she implies. Colora nods her head and they continue to fight.

"You've trained my daughter well. I didn't want to believe the stories of her battles until I saw her fighting with the humans at the end of World War I with Princess Diana," Freyr implies with a smile on his face as he turns towards her. "Yes she is strong, quick, intelligent and very gifted. We at first didn't know how to train her with her shapeshifting abilities at first, however, we learned and she used it help us as well with our new warriors," she says. "Good," he says as he nods his head. Hippolyta turns to Freyr realizing that her father is here for a reason. "So I'm guessing you're here for your daughter," she states. "Yes, for I believe her time has come. Not just to learn how to be a Princess, learn politics, and be a warrior. But to let her to be a true leader of our realm," he implies.

After Colora finishes training, she is informed by a servant that her father is here to see her in the guest chambers. A few minutes later Colora enters the room with a smile on her face. "Hello father," Colora says. Her father smiles. As they hug and kiss each other on the cheek, her mother Queen Sjofin enters the room. "Hello Colora," she says with a smile on her face. Colora turns around, smiles and to runs towards her. "Mother! It's so good to see you!" They hug and kiss each other. Sjofin smiles and says "It is so good to see you too my darling!" Colora turns to her father and asks, "Father how are you? And my brother and sisters?" He looks down, makes a gesture to all sit down and replies, "Everything is good. Your sisters and your brother are fine and I've missed you. We all have."

"So have I father. Both of you," Colora says as they sit down on the couch. "So may I ask why are you here? Am I going home? Going back to Earth?" Colora asks with curiousity. Her father shakes his head 'no' and says "Asgard."

Colora's pupils grow big as she realizes that she is returning to Asgard after so many years. "Asgard," she replies with a smile on her face. Her father stands up, walks towards the fire place and turns to face her. "I need you to be the senator to our realm. Your brother is going to be king and your sisters are already senators for other realms. And now is the time for you to not only to become Earth's protector as well as a warrior for all of the nine realms. But to keep the alliance with our realm with Asgard," he replies to Colora's response. Colora quickly stands up and hugs her father. "Are you serious? Oh! Father thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" she said with such excitement and a smile on her face. Her mother and father look at each other, noticing Colora's response. Colora realizes that she is acting like a child and quickly backs off.

"Sorry I mean, thank you for giving me this opportunity to do this," Colora responds as she sits back down, next to her mother. "You're welcome," Freyr replies with a smile on his face. Colora smiles, looks down as she is confused to why she is now returning to Asgard after all this time. "Wait why now?" she asks. Sjofin touches her arm and replies, "Colora, we've seen you grow not just as a beautiful and remarkable woman. But you have grown into a brave, intelligent, caring, and most spoken out woman that I've ever seen."

"Which is why your mother and I believe that it is time for you to take this responsibility to be our eyes and ears for Vanaheim in Asgard," her father implies. Colora looks at her parents and says, "Thank you, father. I promise I won't let you down. I will make you proud." Freyr smiles as he knows that Colora always keeps her word. "You already have," he says with a smile on his face. Colora turns to her mother, noticing a smile on her face, then turns to her father and asks, "When do I leave?"

At the same time in Asgard, Odin and Frigga are talking in their chamber. "I have something news, my dear. We're going to have a guest staying with us," Odin implies. Frigga looks at Odin with curiousity and asks "Who?" Odin turns to her and replies, "Princess Colora." Frigga looks at Odin with excitement and curiousity, knowing that it has been almost a thousand years since Colora has been in Asgard. "Really? That's wonderful. For how long?" she asks. "I think permanently," Odin replies.

At the same time, Thor passes by and hears them talking. He stands by the door, to hear them talk. "Are you serious?" Frigga asks. Odin smiles and replies, "Yes."

"Why?" she asks once more. "Her father believes that it is the time that she's ready to be helping him by being his senator for Vanaheim here while her sisters are serious for other realms and her brother will be King in a few years. While Colora is protecting Earth from danger," he replies to her next question. She pauses for a moment to think of what else to ask him. "So her father wants Colora to live with us?" Frigga implies. "Yes," Odin responds once more.

Thor leans in closer to the door. Realizing that they are talking about his and his brother's childhood friend, Princess Colora. "Is it true that she's been in many battles on Earth and has won every single one?" Frigga asks with curiousity. "Yes. Her father believes that since she has been to the mortal world different times within the last 600 years. She knows how the humans live, which is what we need to know. He believes that she can also bring peace to the universe by being a warrior to the universe and by being the voice of her people as senator," Odin replies.

Thor leaves quickly leaves, knowing that if they are right, then he will have the woman that he desires. A few hours later, Thor talking to his friends, Lady Sif and the Three Warriors, Volstagg, Hogun, and Fandral, in his chambers. Volstagg is standing by the table filled with food and fills his plate full. "So it is true that she's coming here to be by your father's side?" He asks with curiousity. Thor sits down with a goblet of Asgardian beer and replies, "Yes. That what my father said this afternoon." Hogun also sits down and says, "I heard that she is the bravest warrior in all of Vanaheim and he also has won every single battle just by using her magical abilities." Lady Sif turns her head as she is annoyed to hear how Colora is so successful as a warrior. "Oh please," she says as she rolls her eyes.

Fandral leans against the couch and says, "Not only that. I heard that she is the most beautiful creature that she captures the heart of every man that she ever meets. Maybe even some of the Gods." Thor leans back against the couch and implies to Fandral's thought. "I know which is why I'm so excited to see her again," he says with a smile on his face. Lady Sif turns her body to face Thor and gives him a look. "Oh come on Thor. You're just wanting to see her so you can lead her to possibly falling in love with you and then marry her," she implies that it is Thor's only reason. Thor looks at Sif knowing that she is right but knows that it isn't just that. "You don't know that. Besides those are just rumors. They could be lies. However, you're right about wooing her. But that's because I know if I win her heart and marry her, our unity with our two realms will be perfect," he implies. Lady Sif raises her eyebrow again and says, "Or you just want her because she's a woman like you've never dreamed of?" Thor smiles but looks away.

A few minutes later, Frigga notices her other son, Loki, reading past letters from Colora. She walks towards him. "Is everything alright?" she asks him. Loki turns his head and notices his mother. "What?" he asks hesitantly. "I said is everything ok?" Frigga asks once more as she sits down. Loki smiles and replies, "Yes, of course. I'm just thinking." Colora tilts her head and responds with another question, "About Colora?"

Loki looks down, away from his mother mentions her name. She takes her son's hand and holds it. "I know, so do I. She brought a light of life. Not just in Asgard but in all of us," she implies. Loki looks back up with tears in his eyes and says, "I'm grateful that is she wrote to me after so many years. But not seeing since we were kids; just makes me wonder how she's been, what she looks like, and if she is still the same." Frigga leans towards him, touches his shoulder and slightly smiles. "Don't worry son. One day she will come. As she said so in this letter," she says as points to the sentence in the letter; "faster than the speed of light." Loki smiles as feels reassured and turns back to look at the sunset. Frigga leaves knowing what Loki wants more than anything in this world is about to come.
