Chapter 4

As the next morning came around, Emma was awakened by a woman in armor and had a disgusted look on her face. It was Lady Sif who had woken up the temporary goddess of thunder.

"If I'm going to train you, you're going to have to do everything I say. Is that clear, Miss Swan?" the goddess of war questioned.

"Yeah, it's clear." Emma answered.

"Good. Now get dressed and meet me in the training yard." Sif ordered as she left the room.

"Okay, it's obvious that she as a distaste of mortals...uh humans. I've got a bad feeling that she going to put me in hell for a few days."

As Emma equipped her Asgardian armor, her mind began to drift to Henry and her family, wondering if they were okay. But she couldn't lose focus now, she had to be ready for whatever Sif threw at her. Emma exited the room only to have found another problem, she didn't know where the training yard was.

"Damnit, where is the training yard? Don't worry, when you hear the sound of men grunting and swords clashing, you're close."

Emma started to walk until she could hear the sounds. When she did, she thanked herself that her plan worked. She spotted Sif waiting for her with that same disgusted look on face. Sif spotted her and spoke.

"You're late."

"Well, sorry. I couldn't find the yard in this place. Plus, I'm new here, so I don't where everything is." Emma made her case.

"Fine. First, we shall start with hand-to-hand combat." Sif instructed.

Emma balled her hands into fists as she saw Sif do the same. She charged towards her with all her strength, only to find herself being flipped and easily destroyed. Sif walked over to her and knelt to her.

"What did you possible think that was going to accomplice, Swan?" she said with the cold in her eyes. "Again."

Emma got herself up and ready to continue, only this time, she achieved a sword. Since she was the daughter of Prince Charming, she believed that stood a chance against her with swords.

"Swords?" the god of war furrowed her brow. "Put the sharp object down before you hurt yourself."

"Can't learn nothing, unless you feel pain." Emma replied.

Sif allowed it, and grab sword as well. Emma and Sif got into sword stance, looking each other in the eye. The stare down caused some of the yard's attention, as well as Volstagg, Hogan, and Fandral. Emma stepped forward and slowly picked up speed towards her instructor. Sif greeted the movement with her own, just a few inches away the two raised their swords to only receive a clang from their metal swords. The spar seemed to turn into something a little more serious as it caught nearly everybody attention in the kingdom. Yells and grunting seemed to be the only sounds everybody heard.

As the spar now turned into a fight continued, Emma wondered why Sif was acting like this towards her, she barely knew her; much less, didn't know what she did to have wrong her. Her focus returned as she saw Sif bringing her sword down upon her, she raised her's to block the blow only to have her sword interlocked with hers. Their noses nearly touched each other and their eyes met. Sif's were full of fury and anger, while Emma's were fill determination and drive. The two pushed each other back to unlock their weapons from each other, Sif had to give Emma some recognition, she's manage to keep her at bay and even got a few hits off of her. But she shrugged thought as she was only a mortals and mortals eventually tire out, but then again she was sweating has much as her opponent was.

The two started to run toward each other with yells and strength, only to be cut off from a powerful voice in the audience.

"Enough!"

The voice turned out to be the king himself, who was observing Emma's talent, he was impressed, few people survived the rage and fury of Lady Sif herself, much less as keeping her at bay and making her work for her win..

"That is enough training for today, Miss Swan." Odin said.

Sif and Emma were breathing heavily as they looked on.

"Perhaps, some food would relish your needs." the king suggested.

"Sure," Emma agreed. "I am kinda hungry."

Emma walked towards the king as he glanced back at Sif, who was still giving her a semi-cold look. It seemed she'd made a little impression on her.

In the dining hall, Emma couldn't help but feel alone and out-of-place, she'd gotten a turkey leg in the size of her arm, she couldn't believe Asgardian's ate this much. Then she heard something that made jump, she'd looked back saw that it was just a cup being slammed on the floor followed by yell for another and more laughter. Her mind went back to her family at Storybrooke, all the laughter, good times, near fight with Regina, she missed them. But then her eyes caught something by the door that led outside, she left to investigate only to find Lady Sif. Emma knew Sif was aware of her presence as she let out a sigh and began to speak.

"What do you want, Miss Swan? I am in no mood to help you with your problems."

"Well, that's too bad. Cause the only problem I see here is you." Emma fired back.

That caught the attention of Sif as well as her building rage.

"Well, I'm sorry that I pushed your tiny mortal body too far." Sif said with her voice heightened.

"It's not that." Emma replied. "It's your attitude against me."

"You are not supposed to be here." Sif spat bluntly.

"Well, I'm sorry that I am." Emma started. "You think I want to be here? Before today and yesterday, I was home where I belonged, I was with my baby brother and my son before I came here. I left my family for a place I didn't think existed. You say that don't belong here, you're right I don't. But the hammer choose me and I'm here now, so suggest that you get over it.

Emma turn and walked towards the entrance of the mess to return to her food, leaving behind a defeated Sif as she realized that she left loved ones too. As Emma returned, she was greeted by Fandral.

"Milady." he greeted.

"Sorry, I forgot your name." Emma apologized.

"Tis quite alright." he accepted. "If only been here for a day and half, as you mortal say, I expect you to know everyone's name. The name's Fandral, at your service."

"Right, Fandral." she said.

"Do you require company?" he asked.

"Actually, company would be really great right now." she accepted.

"Tis why I'm here." the warrior said.

"You mean why WE'RE here." another voice called out.

"Volstagg, Lady Swan." Volstagg introduced.

"Hogan, Miss." Hogan introduced as well.

"Well, the more the merrier, I guess." Emma said with half-hearten smile.

Emma and the Warrior Three, started to talk about their adventure's and accomplishments and how they fought alongside Thor and how they thought of him. But they were interested in Emma adventure's, a mortal against all-odds still coming out on top. They knew mortals weren't weak since they stopped Loki scheme in domination, but they didn't find anyone they was interesting. Without noticing a shadow on the pillar, Lady Sif remained invisible to the others and with the stories she heard from Emma, she can see why the hammer choose her. But her focus was destroyed when a guard approached them.

"Miss Swan, Volstagg, Hogan, Fandral, and Sif. The king would like to speak to you at the bi-frost." he announced.

Everyone got their things and walked towards the bi-frost with a king waiting for them.

"My liege." the warrior three and Sif greeted and bowed.

"It seems that there is a problem in one of the realms, they are rebelling and threatening to take the kingdom, you are needed there, go." the king demanded as he walked back across the rainbow bridge.

Emma readied her hammer as everyone walked into the bi-frost. Heimdell stuck his sword in and activated the device, sending everyone across time and space. They landed on a planet that was cold, blue and plague with giants, Jotunheim.

Sorry, guys, I've writers block for quite sometime now, plus had finals with thing out of the way expect more soon. Don't forget to review on how I did.
