One and Nine

K'NAAN; Is There Anyone Out There

Natasha Bedingfield; Hope

The lion searched the heavens as he curled his lip up. "Where is he?!"

Heimdall shook his head as he caught his breath. "I do not know father, I could not follow on the bridge he opened. It would appear that it can only hold his feet!"

"Or that wretched creature he holds!" Odin growled as he turned, snarling in his son's face. The hare lifted his head as his father curled his lip up. "This is the moment Heimdall, when your allegiance will be tested. He has sided with the creature who is killing us, if you choose to stay with him in this, leave this place and never return!"

Heimdall shook his head as he looked back to the fading bridge. "I cannot side with him Father, I do not understand what he is doing. I can't even follow him into the realm he went to for I have lost the ability to open three bridges and have never seen the one he used."

"I want to know as soon as you hear him again… I want that creature dead!" Heimdall nodded as he ticked his eyes to the ground and pinned his ears to his head as his father stormed away. The buck stood there with his head hung low and his teeth curled out as Grace appeared in front of him.

"You led it here? Knowing he would hide it from all of us?!"

The vixen tilted her head in a harsh glare as the hare turned his lip down. "I have no power over the choices he makes, nor of yours. I did not lead him here, nor did I tell him to bring it with him. If you are so intent on knowing why he did it, perhaps the next time you meet each other, you should ask." She was gone into the shadows again as he clenched his fists.

Loki rushed over the bridge into a burning world again as he fought to catch his breath. "You have to stay here." The creature within him whined as he shook his head. "You won't be alone for long. I will come back. I just have to explain it to my brother when my father is not around. Listen to me, please. I will not lie to you or any other and though my words may be meant to fool some at times, they are always sincere." The whining died lower as he closed his eyes. "You have no name, it will make you difficult to find. Not even what my children called you is known to my father because they did not trust him. I have had many names and can be found easily. I am a fox and give you my word I will find you again. Be patient, it will take some time to convince my brother. You have to leave me now and stay here." He fell back as the creature left him, folding his arms and paws over his face as the light fled away, taking the orbs that kept coming to him with her. He made his way back to the lair he'd left behind and rubbed his temples as his eyes ached, jolting when he opened them to find Grace standing in front of him again. "The lady of the cliffs started all of this. She was trying to get to her realm, through our children? Its why you told me…. Ugh." He groaned as he shook his head.

Grace nodded as he closed his eyes and sighed. "I have no power over free will, Loki. She wished to hold the same power your Father seeks. He was afraid your children would be able to travel between the realms. That is why she changed you so you could birth them."

"Grace, you know there is no way she could have…" Loki froze as his face fell in horror. "She was going to change them or…kill them after they were born, trying to make them so they could move between the veil between life and death? So they could steal what my Father is after?

Grace turned her eyes as she nodded. "Something half alive and half dead. She believed they could travel through the veil."

"Eternity? This place is the veil? You're the only one who can be here?" Grace sighed as Loki clenched his eyes. "That is why they were all so different, so many different sizes and…." Loki cringed as Grace hung her head.

"I am sorry, Loki. I cannot tell of the future either. The mortals called them Angels because of their mother's name. The Lady of the Cliffs was powerful enough that her name survived when the Titans did not. The angels of Valhalla, were the children of…."

Loki hung his head as he turned from her and covered his eyes. "Angela, and Father's eye? Sigyn?" Grace bowed her head as she looked away. "You gave Heimdall sight of the future by placing a grain of your sand in the eye father had cast into the waters of knowledge?" Grace glanced at him and the fox cringed. "You brought me Sigyn…. There are always three. Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld. Mimir blinded them for stealing the eye and they could no longer see without it as a punishment. They went missing while I was….She was the reason they…Angela killed them?" Loki watched Grace cringe and shook his head. "I'm the reason Heimdall swallowed Father's eye?"

"She did not want them to tell your father of her plans."

Loki turned his head. "Heimdall was the first, Sigyn was the second. There is another?"

Grace lifted her head and squared her shoulders. "No, but there may yet be."

"You saw all of this…. You cannot stop my Father, can you Grace?"

"No, I cannot. I have no power over free will Loki." Grace let her head fall as Loki sighed.

"This is why you changed and became a vixen….Why you did all- Take me back, Grace. I need to tell Heimdall." The vixen nodded as he closed his eyes and blinked as light poured through the low window. She'd already placed his den back in its original realm just before the door rattled and his brows rose as Heimdall burst into the room. The fox dipped lower and turned, grabbing a sword from the table before he spun again, clashing with his brother.

"Loki! You have betrayed us all! Not even I can forgive what you have done, bringing that creature into our home to see every weakness we have and giving it the satisfaction of knowing it is killing us slowly!"

Loki sucked in a breath as his brother shoved him back with his sword before they both swung again. "You do not understand! Heimdall, she is not what Father says she is! He has not told any of us what she truly is! He has lied trying to make us believe she is evil when she is a complete innocent! If he believes that is what she is, he is more blind than even I thought!"

The hare narrowed his eyes as their faces and swords nearly came to touching. "Lies, it corrupts even you who has sworn never to lie! In all your trickery I have never seen such a blatant misuse of truth!" The fox's eyes went wide as Heimdall swung his sword out before they were both grunting through each fevered swing they kept trying to cut each other down with.

"You believe me to be lying!" the fox growled as Heimdall pushed forward again. "You of all know me better, Brother!"

"Grace is with you in this! That evil vixen has let the darkness she is consume her and pulled you into it with her!"

"No, Brother," Loki shook his head as he huffed and kept his sword held out as Heimdall scowled and readied to attack again. "Grace is merely trying to make me see the same thing she has already seen."

"Grace has corrupted you!"

"Grace is not her name and you know she changed for us, she was not Grace when we met, he was an old animal, a winged shadow void of humor and bitter. Do you think she changed just on a whim?"

Heimdall curled his brow and shook his head. "Riddles again! Can you not just speak clearly!? What is it she hides? Why do you hide that creature that kills us?!"

"Why did you not tell father you were coming to find me?!"

The hare stopped and huffed as he looked back at Loki and dropped his eyes to the floor. "The same reason I came to find you when Father set the world on fire, before he drowned it so it would start over again. I want to believe there is another reason Loki, but this, this is…. TREACHERY EVEN I CANNOT FORGIVE!"

"You saw my children before they were born! You knew the Valkyries were not evil! That is why you helped me bring them back!"

"That does not mean I believe that creature is not the cause of this!" Heimdall screamed as they clashed swords again.

The fox stumbled back huffing as the hare ground his teeth and charged again. "GRACE BROUGHT ME SIGYN TO STOP THIS!" Heimdall stopped, dropping his sword as Loki huffed and shook his head. "She is her mother, her father. She placed a grain of her sand in the piece of fruit that grew into the life we both loved. She was a sign of time! You loved her as much as I."

Heimdall lowered his brow and grit his teeth as his nostrils flared. "You knew she was the one I loved? And yet everything you did caused her pain!"

The hare and fox were both in another heated pitch as swords clinked together in a ferocious cycle of fevered thrashes. The brothers fought until they were winded and sought refuge for air as they glared at each other. "You do not know what you are doing, Loki! This is futile at best, no good will come at this end. It will end, just like you ended her!"

"I did not end her! She was lost from a broken heart I did not cause!" Loki pulled away shaking his head and wiped his brow as Heimdall shook his head scowling.

"Father may have taken your sons, you are the one who chose that path and dragged her with you. There is no path you could take I can see now that will lead to anything but darkness with that creature."

"You speak as if you have seen my future, Heimdall." The red foxed smirked as he huffed, poised for another strike. "When I know you have not, for I have not let you view it. Do you wish to find the same darkness father lives in?"

The buck lowered his sword and extended a paw towards the fox, recalling Grace's words as his brow tipped. "Then let me now, and I will tell you if there is any hope in what you endeavor for."

The red fox gave a cursory glance to the hare's paw. "What assurance have I you will not slay me in that state of reprieve you seek to view?"

The hare openly scoffed at the fox. "It is not I who is the one choosing to battle. Not I who chose a path that would lead to father wishing you had never been born, or hiding the one who steals our life. Give me a reason to believe anything you say Loki. Show me a cause you deem worthy of dying for and I may join it with you and seek glory in Valhalla."

The red fox shook his head at the hare. "Valhalla is no more, nor is the underworld, Brother. Father has taken back all the life force and stowed the knowledge and wisdom of the other Gods in the Ozaruki. Our time comes to an end soon."

The hare shook his head at the fox again. "You would have us all die for this? You would die for that creature? Father can restore them all when it is finally dead."

The fox extended a paw towards the hare. "If you wish to know all I know about 'that creature' then look and see all the possible futures I cannot see, and understand the past I have kept hidden from your view."

The fox and the hare extended their arms and grasped each other at the elbow, leaned in and touched their foreheads together and a flash blinded the Loki as the Heimdall jolted upright. "What you seek is… You will suffer as no other ever has, and the chance of your success is infinitesimal."

"Is she not worth it brother?"

"She?! She has, she is, will be…. Someone has finally reached your jaded soul Loki, and I pity that creature for it may suffer a fate worse than even all you will endure. Is it also willing to die for you? Have you not thought of what will happen if you have chosen the wrong path?" the hare asked as they stood away from each other again.

Loki stood fast and raised his sword again. Smiling as he nodded. "I have chosen a path haven't I? I will fight for her. I will suffer any hardship to keep her safe and would die a thousand deaths for her to live but once. I will defy all the Gods to be true to her and stay this path."

The buck took a step forward and shook his head. "I weep for all the tears you will shed in this, the only gift I can give you on your journey will be the one that may destroy you. But answer me this first brother," the fox furrowed his brow in confusion and tilted his head curiously before the buck continued. "Was that creature the reason you finally shed a tear for Balder and he was brought back?"

The fox shifted on his feet as his ears tipped back and tinted a brighter shade of red as his eyes flicked to the floor. Heimdall gave him a tilted head in return and an overly pleased smirk as he chuckled. Loki looked back at the buck with a shameful look on his face. "I have no reservations then on your true intent here, Brother. But I had to ask knowing how tricky you are. I wish you to succeed in this quest and only wish further to lessen your suffering, though I know it will not be so. I will hope with all I have to meet you again." Loki gasped with wide eyes as his brother stepped into him grasping his neck with one paw and Heimdall dropped his own sword as he grasped his brother's sword handle with the other. "They approach, make my death swift brother. This is the only way to the path we both hope you will end." Loki grasped his brother by the neck and pressed his head to the hare's.

"She is more beautiful than all the stars Heimdall, do not go into the light. Give her this message for me when you meet her. Tell her to run to me. Tell her to run." He thrust his sword into the hare and pierced his heart. "Forgive me brother," Loki said as tears rolled down his muzzle staining his fur. The buck crumpled into his shoulder in a final embrace as he smiled at the fox.

"A parting gift for you Loki, for if father succeeds, we will all be lost." A sharp pain ran through the fox's chest as his brother hit him with the last bit of strength he had. Loki looked down in confusion. Heimdall smiled and shook his head when he saw no injury with a deep throb running through his chest. "Trust in Grace, Loki. She will know what to do."

The hare died in his arms and Loki screamed out in anguish as he watched, sobbing as Heimdall's eyes closed. Loki's gaze shifted as a shadow came into view. "You are my brother's keeper, Grace. Keep him safe, do not let him go into the light."

Loki fell to his knees with his brother in his arms as the shadow disappeared, the massive doors to his hidden hall bursting open. "NO!" Thor and Tyr screamed as they entered the room and saw the sight of their slain brother. Thor thrust his fist into Loki's jaw, knocking him away from the fallen Hare and tossing his body into the wall as Tyr checked on the bloodied body of Heimdall. The dark horse shook his head and the massive bull picked up the fox slamming him into the wall.

"Loki," Thor said as he held his brother high, "All father will kill you for this."

The fox glared through tear filled eyes at the brother holding him by the throat and then looked back to the brother he had slain, watching the shadows creeping around the room. "I do not think he shall have enough time, Brother."

Thor drug Loki to the great hall of Odin as Tyr carried the body of Heimdall to their father. The hare was laid at the feet of the Gods and their mother and siblings wept as Loki was tossed to the feet of the great All father. Odin sent his wife and daughters away to spare them further heartbreak as he stood before the red fox at his paw feet. "What have you done?!" Odin screamed in fury at the tod in front of him. Loki's body sank as his head fell.

"Only what I must have, Father."

The great maned lion shook in rage as he viewed the body of his slain son. "None has ever spilled blood inside Asgard. You have cut off your finest tail! And you do not deserve to bear the number of them you have for such treachery! It will be your shame to bear only one tail as a reminder of the brother you have slain and the realms you shall no longer enter!" Odin motioned to Thor and Bragi to restrain the red fox as the dark horse Tyr cut off eight of his nine tails, causing the fox to scream in agony as each one was hacked off separately and tossed to his father's paw feet.

Loki sucked back his screams as Odin had his other sons bind him to great stones and pillars with giant serpents. The great brown bear Balder burst back into the great hall, exclaiming that the Ozaruki were missing.

"Where is my Armor! Tell me where it is and I may let you live. I will forgive all this if you show me where to find that beast so I can restore them!"

Loki chuckled as his father growled. "I do not have your armor, I would not keep the souls of any living being from the choice they are meant to have. It was Heimdall's charge to keep the Armor. He was the guardian of all Asgard's treasure and if you did not find them stowed in one of his magical pouches, I cannot tell you where they are. But I am glad you cannot hold them prisoner any longer."

"Prisoners! They are your siblings, your family! They will all be returned when I have the power to do so!"

"That power is not yours! Nor do you have the right to collect them when they have fallen! It never was and you have lied to all of us about what 'that creature' is! Or are you so blinded by your hate, by your pain that you cannot see her for what she is?"

"It is careless! It is evil, it is not good enough to hold what it has!"

"AND YOU ARE BETTER!? When you take what she had thought she erased and create more, when you use those pieces to feed yourself into immortality?! You used my children as your servants, to collect those pieces, to fight your battles, to tend to your personal needs! The Valkyries were never meant to be slaves!"

"They were abominations! I found a place they could be useful!"

"To what end, Father?! When you found out what they could do you cast them aside. As you feel she did with you. When she gave you what you asked for, even when you came to her? You were a shadow of something left behind, and you hate her for it, but it was your choice! I will not help you harm her."

Odin roared loud enough that it echoed through all of Asgard. "I offer you life and retribution and yet you still refuse me! Why?! Or do you care not for all the gifts I have bestowed upon you and the forgiveness I offer when you have committed such a heinous crime?"

Loki looked to his father with great sorrow, "Please father, I know the sorrow that you hide behind. It is not real. Can you not see that this, this end you fear is just another beginning?"

"Lies! What can I offer you that will make you see the truth!" The lion roared as he grit his teeth.

Loki hung his head as he looked back to his brother. "There is nothing you could offer that would replace what I have lost or forgive what I have done. I will lose no more for this farce. She is the path to any future. Our time is at an end and your pride keeps your wisdom from seeing the truth behind what will come."

Odin roared again as he lashed out at Loki, striking him and causing the serpents to coil tighter around him as he jolted from the impact. "That creature has tainted you! It fills your head with lies! When it is dead, I will restore all that has been lost and take the place that beast had no regard to hold!"

"Are you fool enough to believe you can hold the power she has contained?! It nearly destroyed her! You are not meant to take her stead!"

The great lion scoffed at his son. "I will not be so careless as that creature was. I will make things the way they should have always been."

"SHE MADE A MISTAKE! ONE SHE ONLY TRIES TO RECTIFY THROUGH PURITY!" Loki growled.

"PURITY!?" the lion roared again. "A mistake it made more times than there are stars in all the heavens!"

"SHE DID NOT KNOW! SHE IS INNOCENT OF THE CRIME YOU ACCUSE HER OF!" Loki screamed as best he could through the pain he was suffering, struggling to hold fast against his father. He curled both paws around the serpents holding him and managed to raise to his feet as his body ached and ground his teeth as he hissed and fought the tears in his eyes. "I know why you hated them. I know why you hated the Lady of the Cliffs. She put this idea in your head because you believed she could do it. You did everything you could to stop her. It was a noble and righteous cause Father and I. Am. Sorry. I should have listened to you about her, but my children were not evil, no more than 'that creature' is, and you know it. I did not know. She did not know."

"Ignorance is no excuse for guilt. I will not be ended by the likes of that beast in this fashion, with no glory and no honor. Or have you forgotten those things you birthed caused peril here, that it attempting to fix this mistake is what takes our lives now?" he asked the tod in front of him as he curled his lips and bore his teeth.

Loki grimaced as he held his head higher. "Have you forgotten how you came to be? How all the Gods were born?"

The lion stood tall and arched his back. "That is not likely something one could forget and is exactly why it is unworthy of the life it has. I will find that creature, and I will destroy it."

"YOU KNOW WHAT SHE IS! It is what you asked of her! You cannot kill her! I BEG OF YOU FATHER- have some semblance of sanity and see that your pride, your pain has blinded your wisdom!"

"YOU DARE TO BEG FOR THE LIFE OF THAT CREATURE!" Odin curled his paw around the fox's throat and the serpents slithered away, leaving him hanging in the grasp of the lion. "For the insolence and insult you have proffered upon your brethren, I will take back the powers you have gained. I will remove the immortality that I so foolishly allowed you. For your foolishness in caring for a creature unworthy of the life you care not for, I will cast you out among the mortals. You will never know true happiness. Even your name shall be cursed to speak! It will be so until the day I am dead, you worthless, ungrateful pelt! You will never know who you are or remember another lifetime through each veil, you will never find peace, you will carry the pain of each lifetime within you, and for your arrogance, I curse all foxes to live in shame beside your mistakes, never to be trusted, never to be thought of as anything more than miscreants and worthless thieves! You will live and be reborn to die each lifetime alone. Each time you find happiness it will be ripped from you once you realize what it truly is and you will be miserable for the rest of that lifetime, only to be born again and repeat the same through all Eternity! You will watch the ones you care for the most suffer and die in agony before you face it yourself!"

"You will undo even all Heimdall has put in place for the world in this! Father, Please!"

"I care not for mortals when it is my own family I try to save, and you will be among those things, living life after life of misery as I find that creature. I will slay it and make sure it dies a lonely death!"

"NO! I CANNOT LEAVE HER ALONE!" Loki screamed as his father raised him higher and wound one paw back, pulling the bright red from his fur until it became a dull orange as his eyes turned from red to a dull gray. He dropped the fox and Loki looked back to him feeling a weakness he had never known as Freya burst into the room.

"NO!" the she wolf screamed as Odin pulled the power the fox had once had into his own body and lifted him again.

Loki smiled at his mother as his face dripped with tears. "Have hope, Mother."

"Worthless thieving fox! You shall no longer be a son of mine!" Freya howled as Odin hurled Loki into the darkness of space and hit her knees as the lion looked back at her.

He took a heavy seat, disgusted at the tails laying at his feet. His eyes shot up as a beam of light fled into the room and flooded all of Asgard. The creature he had sought had come to him and the smile on his face as he watched it looking around only grew as its confusion took over. He tried to swipe at it and pulled his paw back, hissing as it moved away. The fur on his paw singed and burnt as he ground his teeth together and picked up the fox's tails. "Here. Join the worthless pelt if you have the power, bring him back."

The figure billowed around him examining the tails until Freya clapped both paws over her ears when it finally understood Loki was gone, that part of him had been taken away and if he'd come to her, he would have been lost in all her knowledge, his personality and self-erased as she took him in, like all the others who had come to her over thousands of years. She would never have known and was alone again as she fell to her knees wailing. The lion dropped his ears back as she folded around the fox's tails and threw his paws up as the wailing became a scream that blasted him back to his throne as she threw all her power to him.

A formless figure swooped into the darkness watching the lion cast bloodied fur at the glowing shape. It fell to the floor as Loki's tails landed at its feet, wailing before a burst of light shot to the large cat. The shapeless form flew into the darkness, swooping the spark from the flash, leaving ashes scattering everywhere before disappearing into the vast coldness and flying faster than the stars could burn.

Ashes flooded Asgard as Odin tried to clear his eyes. Shadows moved around in the haze and a silent figure stole in, picking up a dying ember before it was gone with the wind that carried the ashes. The lion roared as he stood, power surging through him as he turned smiling at Freya. Odin stood watching the ashes blow away, billowing in laughter as power surged through every muscle. He was laughing as his remaining children moved to the room, his mate looking him over sorrowfully, knowing their sons had been lost as she let her head fall and turned her eyes.

"I will fix it love, all of it."

Freya shook her head, letting her tears fall as she curled her arms around herself. "You cannot fix this. Heimdall warned you. There is a reason they called him the God of Mind's eye. He saw what was to come. You still refuse to believe anything he said. He was not the only one who warned you. What she told you has come to pass, do you still believe they are not seeing more than what we can? You know what will happen now that it has been destroyed. How will you fix this? Heimdall is truly lost, and now Loki is lost too. How many more?"

She looked around watching the ash blowing away, seeing their children looking between them as Odin stood taller and began to glow. "I will fix it. All of it." Freya watched as her mate took up a pen, her brow curling as he seemed to be listening to something no one could hear as his ears ticked, ruffling in the wind that kept flicking with each line he wrote. The large lion shook his head as he rolled the scrolls and encased them in clay. Each line he'd written laid out in the simplest terms so the mortals could follow them and find the Ozaruki so he could return all the life that had been lost in Asgard. "All we must do now is wait. The mortals will find the Ozaruki, and I will fix it love." Freya watched as he threw the scrolls to the earth, turning her head back to her mate with a heavy sigh.

The she wolf stepped out to the large landing above Asgard and perked her ears, turning as she heard a whisper. Her eyes glazed over as Grace stood in front of her, holding three tiny specks of light. "Have hope, Mother of life. I will do all I can to change the path." The wolf sobbed and nodded as Grace slipped the tiny specks back into her robes. The vixen's eyes shot open and tilted into a warm smile as Freya curled around her.

"Save my sons, Grace. Save all of them and call on me if you need my help." The vixen nodded as she smiled, clasping the wolf's paws.

"Mother of life and love, I will call you from the second star to the right." She flew back into the darkness as Freya looked over the stars smiling with her eyes still cresting over.

"You were whispering to him while he wrote weren't you, Grace?" She laughed as she wiped the tears from her cheeks and shook her head as a distant star twinkled. "I will wait for you until after you have traveled straight on to morning…and help you all get back to Neverland."

In the darkness of space, a formless shape grabbed the scrolls that were flying through the black. Nothing in the void was beyond reach for her but one thing, and there was no changing what Odin had already done. All Grace could do was hope, hope that all she was going to do, all she had done would be enough to change what would happen as she buried each scroll in the sands, in the mountains, in the sea. She could not hold what she had for very long, she would have to move quickly as she reached into robes made of stars and planets, pulling out several tiny specks before closing them back in her paw and rushing to the Earth.

"I will do everything I can to guide you to the right places, you are our only hope. You all must find each other again, you must show her the truth, or all will be lost. I must bide my time so you are all in the right place at the right time, when everything aligns to fit the scrolls. Loki is our only hope to save her, you must find a way to help him after all he endures, Heimdall. He is your brother, no matter where his mind lives. Now you shall become known as what your mother gave you as a reminder of this world and the life that started here. I shall guide you, again and again, until you find the boy who never truly dies. Bring him back to her, be their protection, be their faith. Forgive me little one, I must move the others."

She peeked through the window watching as several young rabbits gathered around a bed warmed by the hearth they had sat at.

"Purple eyes? What mammal has purple eyes? She is beautiful, what shall we call her, Jeremy?"

"Violet, the same as the amulet and her eyes."

Grace smirked as she fled into the darkness again, carrying two more who had never lived a mortal life into the world….

Notes; Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld are the three fates who lived under the Yggdrasil tree in Norse mythology. In Greek mythology they were also known as the fates and shared a single eye. The name Urd means what once was. The name Verdandi means what is. The name Skuld means what shall be. They are the same as the fates in Greek mythology, they see the past, present and future. They stole the eye from the waters of Knowledge and Mimir. Mimir was the guardian of the waters of knowledge who Odin traded his eye to for wisdom. As punishment for stealing from him, Mimir blinded them and they could no longer see without the eye- that is part of this story and not Norse mythology.

The Valkyries in Asgard were handmaidens to the gods, warriors who fought for the gods, and messengers. They collected the souls of the lost and the gods decided where each soul would go to, under the tree of life (Yggdrasil tree) to Hell, or to Valhalla (Heaven). They were said to be daughters of royalty, and lovers to heroes.

When the egg cracked, the waters within it flooded the world and put the fires out. It also reset the world to create new life born from the fire and water that destroyed it. Keep in mind these eggs were taken in by the tree of life after Loki cut off part of Heimdall's nose. The eggs hold DNA from mammals. Odin placed something from each god inside the eggs, but the eggs themself came from Heimdall's nose and are part of him.

The Valkyries were cast out in this story by Odin after being the cause of many wars through lust. Heimdall is the God in Norse mythology who created social structure and the separation of social classes among citizens. The Tiers of civilization- working class, middle class, upper class, royalty, etc. Everything that unravels after Robin Hood's death.

Loki did not steal the Ozaruki, Heimdall shoved them into his brother's soul along with the eye he had once swallowed with his last dying breath, knowing it was the only way to keep his father from bringing the other Gods back. It was his last-ditch effort to save his brother, knowing the future he had seen would be a difficult path, if not impossible. It was his last effort made for things to work, stopping Odin from changing things when he received the power the 'creature' had given him after she lost hope and gave up after losing Loki.

Before the light, before life, before the Gods, there was another who ruled over everything and still does….It will remain, when all others are gone….It is not evil. It is pure and true and holds more power than anyone gives it credit for. It moves everything - It simply is. It is not seen, though it is everywhere, and takes many forms, it is more than the one thing people believe it is. It will follow the same path it has always been on, but has a voice that has never been, or ever will be heard. That does not mean, it cannot, or will not do what is in its nature, and affect change in one form, or another. Time; they say it has no mercy. Think that depends on what, how, or who you choose to see it as….
