CHAPTER 10
I landed on a bridge with a soft thud. The trip here has made me a bit dizzy, but I was sure I'd be fine in a few minutes. I looked up along the rainbow bridge. In front, were walls, their gates open. And inside these walls were houses and streets that resembled earth. And in the middle, was a familiar looking castle. The palace. So this is it then I thought this is Asgard.
i walked along the bridge slowly. It was really quiet out here, all i could hear was my breathing against my heart-beating. I had no idea of what was going to happen next. It could be successful, or it could be suicide. But i guess you'll never ever know if you never even try. I stopped right outside the gates. I sucked in one more deep breath and pulled my face into a confident smile. One hand holding the scepter, the other holding Thor's hammer, i stepped inside the gates.
The tall towering palace may seem scary and overpowering to many others, but to me, it felt like home. I was the princess of Asgard, whether they like it or not. I'm just getting what's mine back.
I flung my arms at the door and they sprang open. And right there in front of me was the throne. Only downside, Odin was sitting on it. Heimdall was also there.
"but no, yo-" Odin stopped mid-sentence when he saw me standing there. "who are you and why are you here."
"do you not remember me anymore, grandpa?" i replied faking a hurt expression and starting to walk closer towards him. Odin's expression started to change from bothered to very alarmed.
"Anastasia" he whispered in a low tone.
"yes that's me" i smiled "only it would've been better if you'd put the word 'princess' in front of it. But don't worry, I'm not too offended by that."
"what are you doing here and why do you have Thor's hammer?'
"Huh? Oh this?" i said lifting Thor's hammer up and spinning it in the air. I looked at Odin again. Bet you they think i'm such a show-off. Which i am. Probably got that from Tony after living with him for a year. "Oh don't worry, your beloved son is safe, he's just having a very long nap." i replied in a singsong tone. " Oh and i'm here to claim what's mine."
"What is yours?" laughed Odin. "Your birthright was to die!" he yelled, outraged.
"Woah, chill man. But what will happen after you, Thor and Loki dies. Obviously i'm going to have to be the one taking up this big role of being the queen. It's not like i want it."
"That is if we all die. But I'm sure you'll die before us. Besides, anyone would be a better queen than you."
"You sure?" i said, making a spear of ice and threw it at him. Thanks for the archery lessons with Clint, I've got a pretty good aim. Heimdall lifted his sword and aimed for me but i was faster. I'd already grabbed hold of his hand and he was already covered in meters of thick ice. I let my hand go and looked at it, it was a dark blue colour. What is this? I asked myself. I walked towards Odin, who was currently laying lifelessly on the throne, the spear pierced through his heart, and blood was dripping along it, onto the beautiful floors of the hall. That was when i realized, i was surrounded by the palace guards.
"do you guys really think you can trap me and catch me?" i laughed. "you underestimate me." i walked towards the center of their circle. Lifting the hammer up, i smashed it down onto the floor with all the force I could manage. The ground shook and quivered, the bits of tiles had flung up in the air. Lightning striked down from nowhere. The soldiers fell down like lifeless rag dolls. The impact was so big that it could be felt all over the city. The roof started to crack and so did the floors. "oops might've over done it" i said as the roof started collapsing in on me. I used all my remaining strength to create a pillar of ice to stop it from collapsing in on me too soon. "this should be enough for now" i said as i ran for the prison. I had no idea about the whereabouts of the prison, and it was obvious that i couldn't ask anyone since most of them are dead or dying. Yet my feet knew where to take me. I must've been here when i was a child
I ran across corridors and balconies, up and down stairs, my feet taking my faster and faster until i finally stopped, in front of a metal door. Open it, a voice in my head said, open it and you'll find what you want. With shaking hands, i did what the voice told me. And i was there. In the prison my dad's been kept in for 12 years.
I didn't have to go far before i spotted my dad's cell. He was sitting there, reading a book. But i could see through it, and knew that that was just a hologram projection. Like the one of myself the avengers are seeing right now.
"There's no need for that trick, Loki. We both know it's not real." i said, stepping close towards the glass. The image faded and there was the real him. The one with bags under his eyes, the tired and battered version of him. Not glamorous, not the version of him Fury showed me to. But he still looked awfully like the photos.
"What are you?" he asked. "A trick? A trap?"
"You know I'm not a trick. And no, I'm not a trap either."
"then what are you?"
"I'm your daughter."
