Chapter 21 -
Harry and Natasha were enjoying themselves as they spent time with the Asgardians, they discussed many things such as the battle of New York and the differences between living on Asgard and Earth, also the fact that they called it Earth and not Midgard. They discussed Natasha and Harry's jobs and somehow ended up talking They also began discussing food, most of the Asgardian food consisted of meat and fish plus other vegetables and fruit that they would grow. So essentially natural food and it was clear that it appeared to be good for them.
They were fascinated by all the foods that Harry and Natasha had described, Harry had also learnt about something that he thought of as a horrible tragedy. Apparently the Asgardians have never ate pizza, Natasha was mildly surprised at how the Asgardians never ate modern food but it made sense as they were essentially on another planet. Harry took that in factor and decided to educate them.
He conjured a few boxes of pizza and then multiplied them to fill enough of the hall, he decided to settle on a plain cheese as that was his favourite.
"You get a pizza" Harry said as he tossed a pizza box to a group of Asgardian "and you get a pizza" he said as Natasha gave another group a box. "You all get pizza!" Harry announced as he multiplied the amount of pizzas.
"PIZZA!" The hall cheered. Pizza was yet another thing that Harry had introduced that the Asgardians loved. Needless to say, Harry was currently quite popular with the Asgardians.
"I must say, I am really enjoying this" Fandral said to Thor as he happily ate a slice.
"This is wonderful!" Volstagg exclaimed as he held a slice in each hand.
"Indeed" Thor chuckled as he nodded in agreement "the things I've experience in Midgard are truly wonderful, food and drinks included."
"Your wizard friend is an unusual one" Sif commented with a smile. "At first glance he reminds me of Loki" She added, her smile dimming slightly.
"How so?" Thor frowned.
"Is it not obvious?" She said after taking another bite of pizza, she took a second to chew before she spoke "Black hair, mischievous personality, from what you've told me he likes to play pranks. He also has a love of magic."
"True" Volstagg admitted with a short frown while Thor looked thoughtful.
"But he is also different," Sif added with her own thoughtful expression "he isn't cruel with his games, at least they don't seem to be cruel from what you've described. He also seems to enjoy the company of others, Loki always gave off an air of being superior to us, it as subtle but noticeable. His eyes are also less cruel."
"You've been looking into his eyes?" Fandral said with a teasing tone.
"Well, what can I say?" Sif said with a casual voice "After being in proximity to you for so long I can't help but take notice when real men arrive."
"Ha!" Volstagg barked when Thor laughed into his drink, Sif looked really pleased with herself while Fandral sent her a mild glare. "She got you good."
"Why thank you," Sif smiled "but as I was saying, I don't believe him to be an evil man. Besides, Thor trusts him so I trust him."
"Thank you" Thor smiled "and I will ignore the fact that pizza and whiskey have factored into your decision."
"What makes you think that?" Sif asked innocently as she took another slice of pizza.
The next day Thor walked into the throne room and found Harry sitting on the throne, listening to a guard read him a report while Frigga and Natasha stood off to the side and conversed while also keeping an eye on Harry. Thor looked at Harry who was listening to the report, Harry looked much like his father when he sat on the throne. Calmly listening to the problem with a thoughtful face that made any nearby try to wonder what he was thinking.
Harry saw him come in, but focused on the guard. The guard had informed him of many problems that he had to deal with, Harry was tempted to tell them to wait until Odin woke up but decided that most of Asgard had been nice enough to him for him to repay the favour. Fortunately the problems were all minor problems that could be fixed easily.
Natasha was currently dressed in some plain Asgardian robes, nothing too fancy but still good enough at showing her beauty. Harry, meanwhile, had chosen to wear his 'Raven' costume but with the hood down and without the mask on. Harry was offered some Asgardian armour, he was tempted because he thought the armour looked cool but he refused as he had enough protection wearing his 'Raven' clothes and the armour would just slow him down in actual combat. As of the moment Harry was just trying to decide how to deal with a minor dispute between an Asgardian called 'Sven the silent' and another Asgardian called Gobber.
"Okay" Harry said eventually "inform the families that Odin is in Odinsleep and currently can't deal with it. However also make them an offer, if they cease this feud then I will come over and repair the damages, it would take me a few minutes as long as it is not worse than what you have described. Inform them that I can produce all of their lost food with magic, or at least a majority of it. I'm not familiar with Asgardian food but I can at least attempt it, if they have any left over then I can just make copies of that, that'll be simpler and easier for all involved. Also tell Sven that I can heal his livestock. Is there anything else? After listening to fifty different problems I would hope not."
"No sire" The guard shook his head.
"Don't call me sire, and thank you" Harry nodded to him. The guard nodded and walked away to start taking all the actions Harry ordered him to do so.
"My king" Thor said as he walked up to Harry, he stopped in front of the throne and got on to his knees.
"Thor, get up" Harry rolled his eyes "and wipe the smile off of your annoyingly perfect face".
"Yes my king" Thor grinned at Harry as he stood up.
"Tell me Thor, while I have been here stuck on a throne, have you been wasting time with Jane?" Harry asked as he narrowed his eyes at Thor who gulped a little bit.
"No, I haven't..." Thor started only to be interrupted.
"So my sacrifice has been for nothing?" Harry narrowed his eyes even more "I'm here looking after a kingdom so you can spend time with Jane and you inform me that it's all been for nothing?"
"Uh...no, that's not what I meant" Thor quickly shook his head.
"So I've been on this throne all this time while you're off spending your time with your girl?"
"Uh...no...yes?"
"Stop torturing him" Natasha laughed.
"But I have very few joys in life" Harry whined, Thor was once again reminded of Loki. This reminded him of the time that Loki had turned into a snake and tricked him into picking it up only to get stabbed, Loki made the same defence.
"How has Asgard fared under Harry's rule?" Thor asked his mother.
"Remarkably well," Frigga replied. "the people are satisfied under his rule, though mostly because they know it's temporary and they'll get Odin back soon. However that is not said to take away from Harry, he has done an excellent job in his short time as king. He reacts to situations quickly enough, there is room for improvement but that is to be expected."
"I knew you'd be a good king" Thor smiled.
"I've been in charge for all of a day" Harry reminded them.
"Two if you count yesterday" Natasha said.
"I've been king for all of a day and a half" Harry amended. "That hardly makes me a good king, I will admit that it's not as bad as I thought it would be but it's not something I'd like to do permanently. What about the people? What do they think of me?" Harry asked.
"Good things from what I've heard" Frigga replied.
"Yes," Thor nodded in agreement "the people of Asgard are still talking about the brave and courageous Raven and his excellent Midgard food."
"The food was excellent" Natasha agreed.
"Ah yes, the pizza" Frigga replied with a large smile "it was quite enjoyable, perhaps you can make some for Odin" She added to Harry.
"Fine but if he annoys me then it'll end up in his beard" Harry replied.
"I think it's a shame that you and my husband do not get along," Frigga frowned "I'm not upset with either of you but I do think it's a shame."
"We're just different," Harry shrugged "I am a person who has suffered under the rule of others and since coming here Odin has showed he doesn't care for life simply because he's above mere 'mortals', something that I find rather funny since I'm the only immortal here. Also he is stubborn and not in a good way, he won't even consider a threat if it's against what he wants to believe. I mean no offence and perhaps I'm wrong but this is merely my observations based off of what I've seen so far."
"I understand" Thor said "father is not usually like this, he is usually a calm and wise man but this Aether situation has left him very worried, I fear that you are not seeing him at his best."
"It's better to judge a person at their worst" Harry replied "that's when you can see the truly see the real person underneath the skin. I've seen people who at their best are loved and adored by many, though if those people saw them at their worst then they'd be disgusted. For example I knew a man called Gilderoy Lockhart, he was one of my teachers when I was twelve. Everyone else had heard of him and he was supposed to be a very famous and powerful wizard with amazing skills, yet he showed nothing remotely resembling any of those things when he taught his class. It turned out that he was merely a fraud who took credit for other people's achievements."
"Really?" Frigga asked with surprise in her voice.
"Yes" Harry nodded "he found people who did good deeds then wiped their memories and took the credit. But then he got his memories wiped when he tried to do the same to me. Luckily he was using a broken wand, the spell backfired and he lost all of his memories."
"You do not use a wand" Thor noted.
"I used to" Harry replied "my people used it as a focus for our magic, but I am rather different to the average witch and wizard."
"Hmm, I suppose you must be" Frigga said "but using a focus does not make one weaker, Thor himself uses his hammer to help focus his lightning."
"Hmm" Harry said as he glanced Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, that was currently in Thor's hand. "It is an impressive hammer, say what you want but it is an amazing weapon."
"That it is," Thor smiled proudly "it is made of a metal called 'Uru' and it was forged in a heart of a dying star in Nidavellir"
"Nidavellir?" Natasha asked.
"Home world of the dwarves" Frigga replied.
"They made that for you?" Harry asked as he gestured to Thor's hammer "That's impressive, how much did it cost?"
"They did it as a favour to my father" Thor answered "I'm sure that I can convince them to make a weapon for you as well"
"For me?" Harry blinked.
"Of course," Thor responded "you would be an even more fierce warrior with an Asgardian weapon. Perhaps a sword."
"No" Harry shook his head "I can use swords but they are so overdone and over rated, plus they remind me of the first time I used a sword."
"What happened the first time you used a sword?"
"My cousin Dudley took it and said only he was allowed to play with the fun toys, stupid Dudley. I just wanted to play with it." Harry scowled, "Oh...and I got bit by the most venomous snake known to wizard kind the second time I used one." he added as an after thought, "Anyway," he continued. "I'd rather not have a sword. Plus will your father complain? Plus what if the dwarves want pay?"
"I will request them to make one for you," Thor said "besides you can consider this a gift. Not just for fighting alongside me in Midgard, but also for your services to Asgard and for being my ally."
"Would they be able to make a weapon with any material?" Harry asked, his expression told them that he was thinking of something that would likely interest them.
"Yes, they make the best weapons possible".
"Ha" Harry let out a short laugh "brilliant, how quick can they make it?"
"It depends on the weapon but it should not take too long for them."
"Thor" Harry teleported next to him, he pulled Thor in close and whispered into his ear. The females watched as Thor's face slowly went from calm to disbelief and shock.
"That...that's brilliant" Thor eventually blurted out, disbelief still on his face but now excitement as well. "Could you make the material for the core?" He asked.
"Yep" Harry grinned "do you think they can do it?"
"Yes" Thor nodded quickly before a frown appeared on his face "though father won't be entirely happy".
"Ah, I'm sorry Thor, I..."
"Do not apologise" Frigga cut him off. "Harry Black, do you intend to harm Asgard or it's people in any way?"
"No" Harry answered honestly "...well, maybe a prank or two and some light sparing but that's about it."
"Thor," Frigga turned to her son "do you trust this man?"
"With my life mother," Thor answered "he is a good man with a kind heart and preciously the sort of person I would follow into battle."
"You have my permission to take and use anything needed for this weapon of yours," Frigga said to Harry "do not worry about Odin, I shall deal with him and his displeasure."
"Ma'am, I appreciate the offer but I don't feel right allowing you to suffer for me" Harry replied.
"Oh do not worry" Frigga chuckled "if I did not know how to handle Odin after so many years then I've really not been paying attention to him. I shall be fine my dear, you and Thor go ahead. I shall call you on those mirrors of yours should you be required."
"Thank you again" Harry smiled at her as he gave her a short bow. "Natasha, you want to come?" Harry offered.
"No thank you" Natasha politely refused. "I'll just stay here for now."
"Up to you" Harry said before turning to Thor "lead on" Harry said and the two walked out.
"Such an interesting man" Frigga commented to Natasha.
"True" She agreed with a smile. "what's your impression of him?"
"Kind, mischievous, brave." Frigga answered "Along with some other choice adjectives, I had heard of how he and my husband first met. Odin has become used to being in charge and not being questioned by anyone, it was quite the shock for him to have this outsider, a Midgardian of all people, to stand up to him. Though when I look at him I can sense something far more complicated under the surface, tell me, do you know why he keeps sending wistful looks at me when he thinks I'm not looking?" Natasha turned to her with a raised eyebrow. "Not the sort of looks you should be worried about," Frigga added with a small smile "they are merely small glances, I'm not even sure if he knows he's doing it. But I've long ago learnt how to read people, I can tell the mood of Odin and my children by just looking at them. Harry's looks remind me of the one that young children would possess when they see other parents give their children something they desire."
"Ah" Natasha said as understanding filled her "when Harry was young he lost his parents."
"Ah, you think he see's me as a mother?"
"No, but his mother was always described as a beautiful and strong yet kind woman" Natasha replied with a small smile "you seem to fit the bill. Harry tries to hide it but he is a very emotional man. I think he just imagines his own mother when he looks at you. How has your magic training been going?"
"He's a very intelligent man" Frigga smiled "he picked up on my lessons quite quickly. I've given him some basics to practise, in a short while he should be able to make his own illusions."
"Great" Natasha said sarcastically "now I get to deal with two Harry's at the same time."
"My apologies dear" Frigga replied with a small chuckle before her face turned serious "I must caution you however, Harry's strength can also be a problem in this case."
"What do you mean?" Natasha asked, confusion evident.
"The boy has two things that can change any situation he is in, power and will. His magic works by shifting things to form whatever he wishes, with a simple gesture he can make things, change things. He is powerful now but I can see that his power is still growing."
"Yeah" Natasha nodded "he told me how his body and magic keeps adapting and getting stronger, he talks about his magic like it's alive. In the battle of New York..."
"New York?" Frigga asked.
"Uh...the place we fought on Midgard" Natasha explained.
"Ah, continue"
"Well in the battle he was unconscious and trapped on the other side of a portal, the next thing we know his body is teleported right next to me but he's still unconscious. We're guessing that his magic reacted to his wishes and brought him back."
"A brilliant tale, it shows preciously what I am trying to say. He can shape the very fabric of reality with a few thoughts, Asgardian magic usually takes a very long time to learn yet he is already picking up on what I've taught him at an unbelievable rate. My original plan was to teach him a few things, then once you two had left he would be able to practise on his own and eventually learn to make illusions within the year. However after our first lesson I believe he could probably learn to make them before you even leave Asgard. He may need you to help him."
"How am I supposed to help him?"
"Guide him my dear," Frigga answered as she looked Natasha dead in the eye "whatever you do, always try to make sure that he stays true to himself. I am not saying do not allow him to change, I am merely saying that you should not allow him to change who he is.
Two days had passed, Harry was contacted a few times on the mirrors to deal with problems, most of them were minor but he also had to deal with two raids. He quickly stopped them himself, though he had Thor, Sif, Fandral and Thor accompany him along with a few Asgardian warriors. Natasha didn't come seeing as she was smart enough to know that this was out of her league.
Eventually Odin had woken up, he had walked into the throne room and was immediately greeted by the guards who bowed to him. He then saw Frigga who was conversing with Natasha, though both stopped when they saw him.
"Ah husband, pleasant sleep?" Frigga asked in the form of a greeting.
"I've had better" Odin replied, ignoring Natasha. "What has been happening since I've been asleep? Where is the wizard?"
"Nothing that you should be concerned with." Frigga responded "A few minor problems here and there but Harry has dealt with them quickly and efficiently."
"Like what?" Odin raised an eyebrow.
"Another feud started between Sven and Gobber" Frigga informed him with an eyeroll.
"Another one?" This time Odin also rolled his eyes. "At times I think the two merely like feuding with each other."
"They perhaps do" Frigga nodded "but like I said, Harry has dealt with it. A few raids also happened but they have also been dealt with, Harry has proven himself to be a good ruler."
"Hmm" Odin snorted "a few days with no problems does not make him a good leader. Where is he?"
"He is with Thor..."
"So he's left his position?" Odin interrupted.
"No he hasn't" Natasha said.
"I was not speaking to you."
"Tough, I'm answering, he has not left his position. He's left with Thor but he's placed mirrors to contact him if necessary or if there is anything he is required to do as king."
"Odin" Frigga interrupted before the two could start arguing. "it is true." She gestured tot he mirror that was left on the throne. "If we merely say his name then he will be contacted on that mirror."
"Where is he now?" Odin asked as he picked the mirror up and tossed it to Natasha after sitting on his throne.
"He sent a raven earlier saying he'd be here in a few minutes." Frigga replied "The people of Asgard have been rather happy with his presence"
"Have they?" Odin said with more than a little surprise in his voice.
"Yes, the children love him and he has introduced us to more than a few foods and drinks. The current favourites are 'fire whiskey' and 'pizza'. The first is a wizards drink and the other is a food that is found on Midgard. Both are extremely enjoyable. He has also been spending time with the people of Asgard, Thor's friends included."
"What of the mortal? The one that Thor had brought."
"Her name is Jane." Natasha reminded him.
"The Aether is still inside her but she is alive and well so far." Frigga answered.
Any further conversation was cut off by the doors opening, except they didn't just open. They burst open just as two guards flew in and landed on their backs, Odin got to his feet just as everyone prepared for a fight. Harry walked in, steps slow and confident, his shoulders back and chest out with his head held high. Harry took a few steps forward then stopped, he then helped the guards to their feet.
"Thanks for playing along with that" He said to them as he conjured them a box of pizza "there's your pay" he added as he gave them the box, they accepted it with a smile and walked out.
"What was that?" Natasha asked.
"Dramatic entrance" Harry answered with a smile just as Thor entered.
"Well it certainly was dramatic." Thor commented with a smile, he then noticed Odin "Ah, hello father, I hope you had a good sleep."
"I've had better" Odin said, repeating his previous answer. "Where were you two?"
"Gaining a valuable asset" Thor answered, his smile growing wider.
"Where is it?" Natasha asked them, knowing exactly what they were talking about.
"He left it on the floor outside for some reason" Thor answered.
"What are you three talking about?" Odin frowned.
"Hey it deserves a dramatic entrance as well" Harry said to Thor. Harry then faced towards the open doors and extended his hand. A second later something zoomed into his hand, Harry took it with a smile and showed it to everyone present.
Natasha looked at it, it was an axe, not an ordinary one but it was indeed an axe. A bearded axe. The axe's head was silver and seemed to be made out of the same material as Thor's hammer, Uru if she remembered properly, the axe head also had a red core in the centre and runic designs all over it. She looked at the brown handle and recognised it as the tree branch that Harry had taken from the tree of Yggdrasil. 'So that's what Harry wanted it for.' She realised. The handle also had something silver threaded through it from top to bottom.
"Awesome huh?" Harry grinned.
"What have you done?" Odin asked, his voice slow and filled with anger.
"I got a new weapon" Harry said cheerfully, either not noticing or ignoring Odin's tone.
"It looks very impressive" Frigga commented. "Tell me about it."
"Well the axe head is made of uru," Harry began happily explaining "the same material as Thor's hammer. But that's not all, notice the red core, that's made of vibranium."
"Vibranium?! Like Cap's shield?" Natasha blurted out "Where did you get vibranium?"
"I made it" Harry smirked "it was way harder to make than gold, but I got it done."
"So you can just make vibranium whenever you want?"
"Apparently" Harry nodded "I had never tried it before making this. but anyway, the vibranium is good as it will absorb the vibrations of each hit, and eliminate the shock that is sent through the weapon with each hit. As for the handle, it's a branch from the Yggdrasil world tree."
"What?!" Odin's voice boomed causing everyone to flinch, well...nearly everyone.
"Shush" Harry said to him as if he was a child, "I'm talking" he then turned back to Natasha and Frigga. "I've also threaded Mythril through the handle." Harry gestured to the silver of the handle "That is a very potent magical metal, some say it is pure magic in a physical form. Maybe it is maybe not, but the point is that metal, plus the HIGHLY potent wood from Yggdrasil, not to mention the Uru of the Axe head, would make the axe a VERY potent magical focus. I can channel my magic right from the handle into the head.
But that's not all."
"It's not?" Three people asked at the same time, Natasha and Frigga with curiosity and anticipation while Odin said it with a growing headache.
"Nope" Harry shook his head "the axe was also made using the casket of ancient winters"
"WHAT?!" Odin shouted.
"You're very rude" Harry frowned at him before turning to Frigga and Natasha "as I was saying it has some ice powers now, so the next time an Asgardian pisses me off they will dine on cold pizza."
"There has been way too much focus on pizza since we got here" Natasha said.
"Never too much pizza" Harry said immediately "anyway it's got ice powers and it can be powered by magic, so if my magic grows then so does the power of the axe and seeing as how I am constantly growing in power..." Harry trailed off and gestured to them.
"The axe will grow in power alongside you" Frigga finished as realisation hit her.
"Excellent" Harry smiled "now the head was pretty much unbreakable already but the handle wasn't so I've placed some unbreakable charms on it and I've added a few runes on it that will connect that unbreakable charms to my life force so as long as I'm alive it won't be able to break. Now notice the runes I've placed on the axe head, they will allow me to use it just like a wand. It's not needed but I figured I'd have it anyway. It's easier to use ice thanks to the casket but I can also use other magic like fire and lightning. Plus the best part is I've blood keyed it to me."
"Blood keyed?" Natasha asked.
"Yes, well I looked through some books on Asgardian enchantments, including the ones that were used on Thor's hammer, I didn't want just anyone using this axe. In my original world it was possible for wizards and witches to blood key things. I tried mixing up the two magics."
"That was dangerous." Frigga frowned. "You could have been killed."
"Yeah but...immortal" Harry shrugged with a small smile.
"Point" Frigga conceded "but I would prefer you contact me the next time you want to use Asgardian magic for the first time and especially if you want to use it to combine it with other magic."
"Yes ma'am" Harry nodded "though I didn't use it for the first time on this axe, I practised with some left over weapons they had before doing it on this one. It took a few tires..."
"Thirty-five" Thor coughed into his hand.
"But I got it eventually." Harry said, ignoring Thor. "Plus the blood key works in another way, my magic flows through all of my body, including my blood. If someone steals my blood and tries to use the axe then my blood will realise that thanks to my magic"
"Your blood will change?" Natasha asked.
"Sort of" Harry said "the change is so subtle that you'd not be able to notice, you wouldn't but the axe would."
"It is indeed an impressive weapon," Thor said "the equal to my own"
"Please, this is better than yours" Harry scoffed.
"Debatable" Thor sniffed.
"Well I debate that it is." Harry said before turning to the others. "To sum up: ash handle from the world tree, uru head with vibranium core, ice Casket to gain the ice powers, mythril threaded through the handle plus various magical runes and enchantments all over the handle and head, it is a very potent magical focus, will grow stronger over time and is blood bound to me. Pretty awesome right?"
"Who gave you permission to make this?!" Odin demanded with a furious expression that was only beaten by his voice "Who permitted you to use so many valuable materials for this weapon?!"
"I did father" Thor said bravely.
"I also permitted this" Frigga said when Odin began to open his mouth, he turned to his wife with shock.
"My king" A voice said, everyone turned to see Heimdall standing in the doorway.
"Heimdall, what are you doing here?" Odin asked.
"To tell you that I have also permitted this weapon to be made" Heimdall answered.
"What?"
"Yes, when the wizard was in the tree chamber a branch fell on his head from the tree. He shouted out my name to let me know that he was taking the branch and informed me that if I wanted the branch to be returned then I just needed to say so. I did not say anything nor did I inform anyone." Odin growled for a second before turning to Harry.
"That axe will be returned to Asgard."
"Will not" Harry replied.
"That is not up for debate!"
"Debatable, now I helped make this ask so I can bloody well say it's not yours. Me and the dwarves made it, not you."
"You made it with Asgardian magic and our materials and artifacts!"
"With the permission of the prince and queen plus Heimdall," Harry shot back "two royal members of the Asgard plus it's gatekeeper have permitted me to have this as a gift. This is a gift from Asgard and a present to me, you can see exactly what sort of message will spread if you take it away from me." Harry finished with a smug grin.
"OUT!" Odin roared "I want you and your mortals out of this palace!"
"Harry, Natasha" Frigga said "perhaps you two should go and have a walk around while me and my son talk with my husband."
"You're the boss" Harry said before teleporting next to Natasha, he held Frigga's hand in his own and gave it a small kiss before letting go and teleporting himself and Natasha away.
"Perhaps, you all can tell me exactly what you were thinking, giving such a dangerous weapon to him?" Odin said in a cold and deadly voice.
"Father, he is my friend and ally." Thor said.
"But he is not Asgard's friend nor it's ally." Odin argued.
"That's where you would be wrong my king," Heimdall said "the wizard has made many friends while you have been in Odin sleep. So far there are three types of people in Asgard; those who like him, those who haven't met him and you. You are the only person so far who doesn't like him, not counting Loki."
"And I suppose that makes it fine to give him such a dangerous weapon?!" Odin demanded "Some people like him because he brings Midgardian food! That is not a good enough reason to grant him a weapon that could one day be the most dangerous weapon in history!"
"Father, not everything dangerous is a threat to Asgard." Thor replied "I could cause plenty of damage to Asgard with my hammer, just like you with your spear".
"Why do you think we gave him it?" Frigga asked, attracting Odin's attention. "Do you think that we were all somehow swayed by his charms? Do you believe he has us under some kind of spell? Perhaps you think that we did this merely to make your life more difficult?"
"I have no idea why you thought to give him it" Odin replied.
"Because we are not blinded by our emotions," Frigga said "you dislike him because he has stood up to you in a way that nobody has done so before, nobody besides Loki."
"Frigga" Odin said with a warning present in his voice.
"Thor has fought alongside him and deemed him a good man that he trusts, is that correct son?" She asked Thor.
"With my life" Thor answered "in the battle Harry did many things that, while not capable of killing him, could have caused him great harm."
"Heimdall?" She turned to Heimdall, clearly asking for his opinion.
"My eyes and ears can see and hear across all of time and space, I know many things about him. He has suffered, suffered a great deal more than he should have been allowed to. He has grown, he is no longer an innocent child, he had done deed both good and bad but yet at his core he is still one very important thing. A good man. Very worthy of the weapon he has been given."
"Odin, you may not trust the wizard but at least trust us." Frigga said "Yes he stood up to you but that does not make him a bad person, nor does it make him a threat to Asgard, merely a brave man who will not back down against any force. I have no doubt that he knew who you were when you both first me, yet he still stood up to you because he believe that you were wrong."
"You've become fond of the boy" Odin realised.
"He reminds me of Loki," Frigga confessed "or...at least all of his better qualities. The love of magic is something they both posses, both have black hair even though Harry's is messier, they have green eyes even though Loki's eyes aren't as bright. I look at him and I see what Loki could have been." Silence filled the room.
"Leave," Odin said eventually. "I wish to be alone". They all nodded before walking away, Odin sat in his throne, alone with nothing but his thoughts.
A.N: Hi guys, thanks for reading. I just want to say a few quick things.
1) First of all, the axe weapon that Harry got this chapter is one I came up with entirely on my own. With no help from anyone. No help from a single person. Not a single one. No help at all.
Okay that's a lie, one person did help. In fact this person did all of the work, I want to thank Noctus Of The Thousand Blades. The weapon was based of the axe from 'god of war' as I understand it and all of my information came from him (I am going to assume that it is 'him', correct me if I'm wrong). I think I've got the axe done right based off the emails he sent me, I've made a few minor changes but he can let me know if I've messed something up in the description and if I have then I can go back and change it. But seriously, big thanks to him for helping.
2) This chapter was spent on Harry interacting with the Asgardians plus getting his weapon and more arguing with Odin. The next chapter will go back to the story.
3) Also this one person called me an amateur in a review lately, I won't mention any names (Billy the bruiser). This person has read one chapter (probably less) of this story then decided he (again I'm assuming it's a he, though based on the name...) doesn't like it. Which is fair, if he doesn't like it then fine. But I do not like the fact that he basically tried to insult me by calling me an 'amateur writer'.
I just want to point out that I am writing a cross over fic between a movie serious based off comic books and a movie/book series on a fanfiction site instead of just going out and producing books that will get me money, so clearly I'm not a professional writer. What was this person expecting? I am just a guy who is currently in his room and writes partially because he is bored and partially because he likes it. I am not a famous or professional writer who get's money each and every time he throws out something new. I make mistakes, I make errors but I at least try.
Also can people just please not be so insulting? I mean what is wrong with just giving a review that honestly states the problem people find in stories and then just leaves it at that? Trust me, I had actually deleted something I had written on here that was really insulting to the guy, even though he'll probably never read this.
4) Finally, I just want to thank everyone for reading and reviewing. It means a lot, take care.
