Chapter 2:
Adriel's eyes opened and closed a couple of times to figure out where she was. All she saw was gold and bright lights as her vision started to become clearer. She then immediately looked around to take in her surroundings. It looked as if they were in this large golden dome. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and immediately caught sight of her sister who looked just as stunned as she was. Adriel immediately walked up to her sister and placed her hands on her shoulders.
"Are you ok?"
Chloe was shaking and gently nodded her head. "Are you?" Adriel nodded as she gave her a small smile. "Just fine." She then looked around again and started to laugh. "However, something tells me we're not in Kansas anymore." Chloe chuckled and gently nodded her head. "Something tells me your right."
Just then they heard a booming voice speak before them causing them both to jump in the instance.
"Adriel…"
The two girls immediately looked towards the voice and saw an older man with white hair and beard, wearing an eye patch on his right eye. Adriel's eyes widened at the sight before her, somehow this man seemed so familiar however she just couldn't put her finger on it.
"My goodness how you have grown."
The older man smiled as he walked upon the platform. It dawned on the two girls that they were before what looked like the lead warriors of this man who were standing side by side behind this powerful being. Chloe then immediately looked over at her sister in pure confusion.
"How does he know your name?"
She asked quietly, Adriel looked back over at her with a deer in the headlights look and shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know." She whispered back. She then slowly turned her head back towards the man and gave him a confused look.
"I'm sorry but it must be a different Adriel you are searching for because I have no recollection of who you are."
The older man chuckled as he continued to walk towards them.
"My dear girl I do know that it is a complete fact that you are the young woman I am searching for. Adriel Coleen Demarco. The daughter of Rodmar and Cassandra Demarco, older sister of Chloe Elizabeth Demarco. You are currently a Doctor in the Midgardian world. Your family had passed in a car accident 3 years ago which led you full guardianship of your sister. You work extensively long hours just to keep up the rent in your building and you have 7 dear friends who help you with the care of your sister. Am I missing anything else?"
Adriel's jaw dropped in complete shock as to how much this man knew about her and gave him a confused look. "How could you possibly know all this?" The man smiled at the young woman and walked up towards her and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"My dear girl I know everything about you. Your father and I were the dearest of friends."
Adriel nodded trying to take everything in. "How is this possible!? Where are we?" The man grinned as he removed his hand off of her shoulder.
"Asgard my dear, your father was my most trusted warrior and friend. We grew up together, played together as children and when we grew older your father fell in love with your mother a Midgardian and that is when all this started. Your mother and father had you here. This is where you were born, this is where you grew and this is where you played as a child. However as time passed your mother was growing more and more homesick and your father thought it would be best for you all to go back to your mother's rightful home. I granted him this and allowed him to become mortal. Since then you have lived your entire life in Midgard with your family until now."
Adriel furrowed her brows and shook her head. "What do you mean until now!? I have no intentions of living here! Now send us back!" The man sighed and shook his head. "I am sorry but I cannot, at least not now." Adriel glared at him and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Why not?! We don't belong here! How could you just take us from our home!? This is nothing but complete insanity!"
Suddenly a young woman dressed in armor glared at her and started to step towards her. "You will watch your tongue before you speak to your king." The older man halted the women, giving her a stern look. "Lady Sif you will stand down." The woman scoffed and glared at Adriel.
"If you excuse me Allfather she has no right to speak to you in such an ungrateful manner."
Adriel then glared back at the woman. "You try being ripped away from your home and being told that you can never return then we'll talk about ungratefulness!" Sif sneered at her while Odin halted her. "Lady Sif you will cease at once." Sif scoffed, while Adriel smirked at her and arched her brow.
"You heard him!"
Sif gritted her teeth at the young woman while Adriel looked back over at him. "I apologize for my rude behavior however you must understand my uneasiness when it comes to this situation. Why did you bring us here? Who are you?" The man smiled at her understanding completely as to why she was so on edge and gave her a reassuring look.
"My name is Odin I am the Allfather and I brought you here because of a deal your father and I had made when you were just a child."
Adriel didn't understand, their father never mentioned a place like this nor has he ever mentioned a man named Odin. It confused her, why had they never told them? Did they expect nothing to happen to them so they never saw the need? She didn't know. She then slowly moved forward noticing the man with golden horns. His green eyes burned into her soul and for some reason she felt like she knew him more than any. Why couldn't she remember? Why was this all so familiar, yet she could barely remember any of these people? She then finally looked back at Odin and gave him a serious look.
"What deal was this?"
Odin smiled at the young woman. It amazed him how much she looked like her mother it was practically uncanny. He then slowly moved down the steps as the young woman protectively placed her sister behind her. It was obvious that this woman was very protective of her sister and knowing the fact that this woman was so protective elated him even more.
"If anything happened to your mother or father we would be become your guardians."
Adriel scoffed and shook her head.
"Well thank you for stepping in but your three years too late. I am more than capable of taking care of myself and my sister and do not need any guardians whatsoever."
Chloe frowned and then looked over at her. "I donno Adri maybe this could be a good thing." Adriel then immediately looked over at her. "Chloe we have a life back at home! I'm just getting ready to finish up my residency and…" Chloe then cuts her off. "And I never see you! You're never home! You are working like a dog just to keep ends meat and you barely have a life! Maybe this is your chance, why don't we take it?" Adriel sighed and looked over at Odin who was smiling at her.
"I know that this is a bit much to take in right now but trust me that you and your sister will be happy here."
Adriel sighed and gently nodded her head. "Alright we'll stay but if I or my sister decides that we want to go back then you will send us back." Odin nodded giving her a warm smiled.
"Absolutely my dear, now why we don't show you girls to your rooms. We have everything provided for you two that we believed that you would need and once you two are settled in you will join us for dinner so we can become better acquainted."
Adriel arched her brow at him and crossed her arms over her chest. "Alright…" Odin smiled at her and guided Adriel and her sister towards the horses. "Do you know how to ride?" Adriel's eyes widened in complete surprise and shook her head.
"Can't say that I do."
Odin smiled over at her and nodded. "I figured as much." He then looked over at the larger warrior and nodded his head towards him. "Would you please help Lady Adriel upon your steed?" The man nodded and gave Adriel a warm smile. "Shall we?" Adriel sighed and looked over at the large horse.
"Yeah I guess."
The man smiled and helped Adriel up on the horse and climbed up and sat right behind her, holding onto the reins. Chloe was then helped up by one of the other warriors as well. Once everyone was settled on their horses Adriel then felt the large man tap his heels against his horse and felt them go running off.
At first Adriel was caught off guard but then all that had changed once she caught sight of the beautiful city before her. It seemed that they were on a large rainbow bridge that looked to be shooting electricity within it and when she finally looked up her jaw dropped at the beauty before her.
Asgard… the city was large and gorgeous. The castle was made of golden pillars and the city was filled with beautiful golden buildings. Some were floating while others stayed upon the ground. This place was absolutely magnificent that Adriel couldn't help but stare in complete awe.
Once they had finally made it to the castle the large man then jumped down off his horse and helped her down. Odin then finally jumped off of his horse as well and pulled off his helmet and threw it towards the closest servant. Odin then gestured a young woman with fiery red curly hair to come forward.
"Polaris please escort these ladies to their rooms and make sure that they are comfortable."
Polaris nodded and gave Adriel and Chloe a large smile. "Please come follow me." She said sweetly. Adriel looked back over at her sister and hesitantly took her hand into hers and followed after the young woman.
Once the girls were out of their sight Odin sighed and gently shook his head. "I thought she would've handled this a lot better than she did." Frigga gave her husband a sympathetic smile and gently placed her hand on his shoulder. "Odin this is all a huge shock to her, she will come around eventually." Odin nodded giving his wife a sad smile.
"I thought once she had come here she would at least feel at home here. She doesn't seem to be reciprocating all this information well." Frigga chuckled and shook her head.
"Adriel was only 5 years old when they left. She doesn't remember anything of this world and is scared. Odin give it some time."
Odin nodded and then looked over at his sons who stood stoically waiting for their father to address them. "It is your responsibility to make this young woman feel welcomed." The young men nodded while saying in unison. "Yes father." Odin smiled at his boys and took his wife's hand. "Good, I will see during supper tonight." And with that he escorted his wife out of the king's court.
As soon as their father was out of hearings length Thor then looked over at his brother and smirked at him.
"You like her."
Loki glared at his brother and scoffed. "You honestly believe that?" Thor grinned at his brother and wrapped his arm around his shoulder.
"Your eyes never left her, you were intrigued."
Loki rolled his eyes while Sif shook her head. "I think she is a nuisance. She is worth nothing to us." A man with short golden blond hair and mustache then grinned as he placed his hand on his hip. "I think she's worth a bit of something." Loki then glared at him.
"I highly doubt that she would even be interested in your exploits."
Fandral then grinned at him. "And you honestly think she'd be interested in you and your childish tricks Loki? I think not, she obviously is interested in a real man and a real warrior." Loki sneered at him and was about to move forward until Thor stopped him.
"Enough! Our responsibility is to make this woman feel at home and that is what we will do! Let us try and be friends with her. I'm sure she's more than what she seems."
