Everlasting Snow and Love Letter

For T

This is for T. as I am her Secret Santa. It was a challenge since I'm no Asgard Saga fan (HECK! I'm a Gold Saint fan) and really, I was wondering what I could do… I'm sorry if some of the characters seem OOC, but please understand I'm not familiar with the Asgard saga.

Snow storms and freezing weather was a familiar thing for this time or the year and place of the world. It was one of those days when the sky was clear, right after a snow storm that someone was walking in a forest, enjoying one of those days.

A young man was walking in the snow, leaving a trace in the heavy snow, but he really didn't care; he enjoyed walking in it, especially if he was in the forest. He stopped a moment to look around until his glance stopped in one particular place. The young man couldn't help to snort; it was just one of his comrades, observing him.

"What is your reason to be here Fenrir," asked Alberich, smirking.

The young wolf man looked at Alberich and didn't answer right away, still looking at him. "I do have the right to be here too… And I feel more comfortable in the forest anyway," replied Fenrir, looking away.

"Whatever you say…" added Alberich. The magenta haired man just resumed his walking. It was such an obvious answer coming from the other God Warrior; of course he was more comfortable in the forest since he had been brought up by wolves. Sometimes, Alberich wondered if Fenrir was any different that he was; Alberich loved nature and his forest more than the palace sometimes. His amethyst forest was a place he could think of his future plans.

Finally reaching his favorite spot in the forest, Alberich sat down near a tree to finally have a moment to think, closing his eyes to forget the moment. He always came to this spot when he wanted to avoid Siegfried, who always seemed to annoy him, or to get reprimanded by Hilda. He really wished that those two would leave him alone; he thought of Siegfried as nothing more than a fool who couldn't tell the woman he loved his feeling and that he could do better than Hilda has the ruler of Asgard. He was, after all, the smartest man of Asgard. This was frustrating him highly that not many recognized that Hilda might not be as fitting to rule as he was. As one of the members of a noble asgardian family, he had rights.

As the minutes passed, Alberich kept thinking about his plan; he wanted to show everyone that he was not just a God Warrior of Asgard, but someone capable to rule over it. He was musing when he heard someone's foot step in the heavy snow. He didn't even acknowledge the person and kept musing.

"Siegfried has been searching for you for quite some times," said the person.

Alberich opened his eyes and looked the blond musician standing in front of him. Somehow, he wasn't that surprised to see someone coming to get him because the appointed leader of the God Warriors was searching for him. He sighed and closed his eyes again.

"What does he want with me?" asked Alberich, a little annoyed.

"He wants to talk to you about your recent action," replied Mime.

"As far as I'm concern, I didn't do anything wrong," added the Delta warrior.

"Obviously, you have a different definition than Siegfried about the word wrong," said the musician. "You better get up and go to the palace right now."

Alberich just snorted and didn't make a move to actually get up. He didn't move for a while or even made a move to tell Mime to get away, until the blond warrior sighed and sat beside the nature manipulator. They sat there, for a moment, until Mime got annoyed and got up again, leaving Alberich there. That made the young man relieved; he didn't want to bother with Mime.

Minutes had passed, and then hours when a few other footsteps had registered by Alberich, but this time he looked before he was interrupted. He was in big trouble; Mime had left, only to come back with Siegfried and Syd. Somehow, he knew he wasn't going to get away with it.

Not so far, Fenrir was petting some of the younger wolf of his pack when he could hear Siegfried's voice booming from somewhere in the forest. Fenrir just frowned; Siegfried must have found Alberich after all and the later was in big trouble. Not that he cared, but Alberich must have done something wrong… Again.

Back at Alberich, the said young man had to block his leader's scream. Whatever he did must have been horrible if the ever calm leader was this worked up.

"What is it?" asked Alberich.

"You know why I've came here to do," said Siegfried. "You had NO RIGHT to do what you did!"

"Oh? I thought I was doing you a huge favor," replied Alberich, smirking. "You know, sometimes, it's annoying to see you hide your…"

"Al-be-rich!" yelled Siegfried. "Don't you DARE!"

"Dare what? You are as obvious as Hagen about Freya," added Alberich.

This comment made Syd and Mime, who had stayed, chuckled a bit. That earned them a glare from Siegfried. Finally annoyed, he grabbed Alberich by the collar and dragged him back to the palace.

Later

After being brought back to the palace by Siegfried and being reprimanded by Freya (Siegfried didn't want Hilda to know about all of this, since it did involve her), he was left alone with some of the other God Warrior.

"I can not believe you… You send a forged love letter to our Priestess from Siegfried?!" said Hagen. "No wonder that he was pissed!"

"Hagen… I was tired of seeing him as lovesick as he was," replied Alberich. "I thought I was doing him a BIG favor… And I only got yelled at."

"The letter never got to her I presume," asked Syd.

"Obviously…" replied Alberich. "If it had, I wouldn't have been yelled at by him and reprimanded by Princess Freya."

"Maybe he just wants to tell her himself…" mused Hagen.

"That will never happen and you know it," said Alberich. "The possibilities are as bad as you telling how you feel to Princess Freya."

Hagen gave a death glare to Alberich, who just smirked and got up. The poor lad was so obvious too. He left the room, getting to his own. Sometimes, he thought that others were easy to read; that's why he managed to do what he wanted to do.

"I guess it's another thing I should do… I wonder what will happen if I did the same thing for Hagen…" mused Alberich. That made him laughed and kept walking.

The END

OMAKE:

A small envelop was on Hilda's desk. She had not touched it yet since she didn't get the time to read her personal letters; she only had the time to read papers related to her Kingdom. She reached it for it and looked at it.

"A love letter?"

Author's note: DONE! I know it's short and it's a little farfetched, but it's the best I can do with my limited knowledge about the Asgard Saga. It's a little bit humoristic too.

And…

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
