Part 3.

Trigger warning for foul language and some (very) slight abuse mentioned. If you squint you can see it.

Percy and Alex were trying to get the two Chase cousins out of their state of unawareness. After a good 10 minutes of shaking them slightly and talking about happier times did they snap out of the small trance. Athena and Frey went over to their children to see if they could help. Both Gods were at a loss on what to do so they just gave them both a comforting hand.

The slight intermission they had was over once Annabeth and Magnus were okay to continue. "We're okay, thanks guys." Magnus smiled at Alex, he smiled back. "I think Sam and I will speak next. Loki as you know is my mother, she is a shape-shifter a powerful one, she can shift into anything and anyone, even Gods. He even tricked Thor, our Lightning God into believing he was the All-Father. From what you've seen me do I am very powerful, I commanded your own Love God, he had to obey me. I use my power to defy my mother. She is nothing to me, she purposely 'opened' my family to the Norse world. It was hell at home so I used my powers for good, I made sure to let Loki know that her power could not control me, that it was mine and mine alone. I would never be blindsided again by her."

"What do you mean 'opened' your family?" Rebecca asks. "She gave them the Sight as Fredrick calls it, she opened them up to the truth of our world. They were no longer ignorant mortals but more thanks to her. She ruined my life because of that. They hated me especially dad…" He didn't continue, he didn't have to.

"I should get to the point shouldn't I? Well when I was dying I saw a girl on a flying horse, a Pegasus I think. That was Sam, my half-sister. I didn't know what the hell was happening to me so I almost fell into the Void multiple times in an effort to get some sort of answers from her. I knew immediately that she was like me, a mage hated just for being born. Yeah, that's ya asshole! When we got to Valhalla a punched her and transformed into the fastest animal I could think of, a cheetah. I didn't know where I was and I kinda attracted the attention of the All-Father when I arrived. Those damn birds of his… ugh. So mean, anyway I met with my other hall-mates, not by choice. They didn't like me and I didn't like them, it was perfect. What I didn't know was Maggie. He was a mystery to me, I felt that Loki was trying to get him to do something but I didn't know what until later that evening. Loki was trying to get into his head, forcefully, his head almost overheated and exploded so I killed him to make sure that didn't happen." He smiled at the end looking smugly at Magnus.

He shook his head in exasperation of his boyfriend but smiled at the memory. "Yeah, thanks for that. Also I really want to know why you and I had the same rooms." Magnus tilted his head to look at the Son of Loki. "No clue. Got no idea why we had the same rooms but I'm glad, I easily sneak in with you at night." He gave the Son of Frey a sly grin and the other boy chuckled. "Alex, why try and defy Loki? Isn't that dangerous for you and your family?" Sam lowered her voice to ask her brother. The room still heard the question but she was just worried about Loki, and who could blame her.

"Yeah, it is slightly dangerous but what could she do to them? Kill them, torment them? So what? They made my life a living hell, at least this way I can give Loki a giant middle finger for all the shit she's given me throughout the years. And as I explained to Magnus long ago, Loki's powers aren't just hers they are mine. I am in control, I will not give her the satisfaction of knowing that she has an ounce of control or leverage against me." He looked at Sam with a hard expression. He softened his eyes and told her, "You don't have to be scared of the power he gave you. You can learn to control it not the other way around. I can help you, my offer still stand you know. It always will." Sam hugged Alex, closing her eyes and putting her face in the crook of his neck, just favoring to feel her brother for him and not Loki.

"Thank you Alex, that really helps." Alex laughs and puts Sam down gently.

"Guess it's my turn." She sighed but knew that this was necessary. "Loki is my father. Unlike Alex I don't use his powers, since he can use that to possess and control me. I only use it when necessary. Which is only on missions from the All-Father. I am the new Captain of the Valkyries. After King Odin came back I was appointed to the position after Captain Gunilla, a Daughter of Thor. She was a Thane of Valhalla as well." She stopped suddenly, gazing at Magnus seriously. He took on a fighting stance, turning his hands into fists. "She tried to kill you, Sam! She hated all Children of Loki, she tried to have me arrested and tried by the All-Father!" Magnus couldn't contine to slander the former Captain because Sam jumped over the stand and pinned Magnus to the floor.

"She died a hero! She died for your war! Never forget I am a Daughter of Loki as well, I could kill you if I wanted to, and I could kill everyone here! Screw YOU! WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABPUT BEING HATED AND SHUNNED FOR BEING BORN?!" She screamed, tears were streaming down her face. "Sam! STOP! I command you to release the Son of Frey. Now!" Alex shouted at her, using his Snake-Charmer ability. Sam froze on top of Magnus, slowly releasing him. Taking out his wired weapon Alex wrapped Sam around the abdomen, trapping her arms to her chest and pulling her back to her seat.

"I release you, Samirah." Alex says. Sam's eyes are no longer glazed over as Alex takes back her weapon. Sam touched her head, rubbing her forehead. "What just happened?" No one answered the hijab-wearing girl. "You attacked Magnus." Alex turned away from Sam as his sister had a horrified expression on her face. "I… Magnus I am so sorry. I don't know what happened." She told the immortal warrior. He waved it off. "It's fine. That wasn't you, you had no control. Let's just continue." He said simply.

Sam took that as a sign to keep telling her side of the events. "King Odin wanted me to retrieve the Son of Frey for him so I did. However I didn't know why he wanted Magnus but I followed my orders. If it was given by our King them we kind of have to obey them. A brought him to Valhalla to be judged by the Thanes of Valhalla. When I showed his death to the other warriors and Valkyries the video was tampered with. Captain Gunilla purposefully messed up the video to see the other Thanes and Valkyries that Children of Loki could never be relied on. Magnus stood up for himself in front of the Thanes and Einherjar. That was never seen before, especially from a Vanir, many thought he didn't belong I the Hall of Warriors. But, he proved himself." She had a proud grin on her face as she thought of all that he had accomplished.

"Magnus ran into some trouble, that trouble being Randolph, he tried to stop Magnus during his quest that to be honest I'm surprised Loki let you live for how many times you tried to get us killed. Randolph almost succeeded in killing Blitz when he petrified him by getting him in direct contact with sunlight and also using another magical sword on both him and Hearth. They both should be dead, as should Magnus but somehow Magnus had to have a guardian angel watching over him. Else he and many others here would be dead, for good." Her eyes turned hard when she started speaking about all of the trials that Randolph set up for them to jump through.

Randolph flinched at the harsh eyes that were on him at the moment and didn't seem to be letting up.

"I won't be holding back on all that Randolph did to me like the others." He started. "I went both motherless and homeless all in the same instance, when giant blue and silver wolves had attacked me and mom. Mom told me to run and to not look back, she told me that she would come and find me but she never did. I heard her screams of both determination to protect me and terror. She told me to not go to Randolph or Fredrick for any kind of help. The only one I could go to was Annie. Mom told me that if I was ever in danger to find Annie as fast as possible."

"Why me? Why not dad? I get Randolph but not even my dad?" the Heroine of Olympus asks her cousin. "She knew what you were Annie, and she didn't fear you. The only thing she feared was for Randolph, Fredrick and the other Gods to get their hands on us and turn us into weapons, killers. She didn't want that life for either of us. That's why she trusted you so much, knowing you had the capability to protect me… She could leave me in your hands. You were her niece, but you were more than that. You were a Daughter of Athena, the Goddess of War. You were a warrior that knew the risks of the world which I had been shoved into with mom's death." He smiled sadly. Annabeth knew what he was saying hurt him, she saw how broken his aura was when he talked about Aunt Natalie.

"I was homeless for two years before I died and ended up in Valhalla. I was cheated out of so much I just want his to be over already. I hate you, Randolph. I really wanted to kill you when I had the chance, when I found out what you did. But Annie stopped me, stopped me from killing because she said we are family and family doesn't kill one another. News flash Randolph you already broke that rule when you got Aunt Caroline, Aubrey, Emma, mom and me KILLED! You ruin everything good in your life, you deserve all the shit you've gotten over the years. Hell you never deserved the family you got in the first place!"

Holy shit, this kid is pissed off at him. Thalia thought. She watched as signs of magic stared making his hair float in the slight breeze that picked up in the room. Thalia and Nico both noticed how Annabeth's two half-brothers backed up from both her and Magnus. Randolph backed up from the angry Son of Frey, Frey didn't stop his son. Not even the talking sword stepped in to stop him. The one who did was Annie.

"Magnus, stop. He's not worth you killing him now. When we finish this we will give him the punishment he deserves. Don't worry. Aunt Natalie told you I can protect you, right? So let me do that. Killing him now would make this trial null and void." Even though she was blind Annabeth could still be the voice of reason and the strategist in the group. Didn't matter what happened to her, she is still strong.

He breathed in deeply for a few minutes to calm himself and to dispel the wind that had picked up due to his high emotions. "I had nowhere to go so I ended up on the streets. My mother had just been murdered and the cops were looking for me to confirm her murder and put me in the system, but there was no way I would go there. I wouldn't get tossed around like a used rag-doll. I dropped out of school that year to not have to deal with it. So I drowned out mom's murder by surviving. That's what I did, I lived in the worst places, stole, beat up thugs and whatever else I needed to do to keep going. Luck wasn't on my side, nothing ever was since Natalie died. Fredrick and Annie found me, they were looking for me since Randolph tipped them off."

"I got away from them but ran straight to Randolph and my death as an immortal warrior of Odin to fight in Ragnarok whenever that comes." The wind picked up again, it wrapped around the dark haired middle-aged man, slowly strangling him. Hearth grabbed his shoulder, breaking his concentration on the wind and rapidly signed in Alf Sign Language to the blonde boy. Hearth was angry about his friend killing when there was no reason for it.
